Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist do?
A Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist is a Rheumatology physician with focused training in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissue. After completing Rheumatology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general rheumatologist typically handles day to day.
What conditions does a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist treat?
A Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist commonly treats rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and vasculitis. Many also see closely related conditions within Rheumatology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general rheumatologist.
When should I see a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist?
Consider seeing a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist when you have joint pain, swelling, or systemic symptoms that may be autoimmune in origin, when a primary care clinician or general rheumatologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.
How is a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist different from a general rheumatologist?
Both are board-eligible rheumatologists, but a Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissue. General rheumatologists treat a broad range of Rheumatology concerns; Clinical Rheumatology rheumatologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and vasculitis.
