Rheumatology Services
What is
Rheumatology?
Rheumatology is the science and care of immune-mediated (autoimmune and inflammatory) disorders that primarily affect the body's musculoskeletal system.

I am an excellent diagnostician and may be the first clinician (after you have seen several other doctors) to make the diagnosis of your condition.
Once a diagnosis of a rheumatologic disorder is established, I will offer a specific, targeted treatment plan to restore your body’s balance and guide you on the road to recovery and full remission.
At UnabridgedMD, I offer a blended approach that combines the best in modern medicine with traditional Eastern healing for holistic, whole-body health.
