Rheumatological/autoimmune disorders are challenging as they manifest in a myriad of non-specific symptoms and require careful questioning, physical exams, blood testing, and sometimes a few doctor visits before a diagnosis can be made. Our commitment is to do our best in good faith to diagnose and manage these disorders while valuing your time. We strive to minimize waiting periods while delivering efficient, yet thorough, consultations and treatments.

Our doctor has a vast experience in diagnosing and managing highly complex rheumatological diseases at a large academic tertiary referral center (at the University of Cincinnati). She also has been instrumental in starting and managing the Scleroderma Center and has also co-directed the Rheumatology associated lung disease center with pulmonary for many years. She thus has special expertise in managing such patients.
