Expert, Kid-Focused Care

If your child is experiencing pain or swelling in joints, unexplained fevers, fatigue, weight loss or other concerning symptoms, you want an experienced team you can turn to. We offer comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic testing. Once a condition is confirmed, we provide the latest targeted therapies to control inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, relieve symptoms, and enhance your child’s well-being. Our compassionate team is here for you and your child every step of the way.

Leading-Edge Treatments With A Personal Touch

Rheumatologic conditions have wide-ranging effects and can impact various organs in the body. That's why we take a team approach to ensure your child gets the attention and support they need to feel their best. We work closely with other pediatric subspecialists, including orthopedic surgeons, ophthalmologists, nephrologists, gastroenterologists, cardiologists and neurologists to give your child complete care.

As a pediatric academic medical center, we offer the latest treatments for children’s rheumatic disorders. We’re a member of the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA), an international network of pediatric providers seeking to improve the care provided to children with rheumatic diseases through clinical trials. Your child will have the opportunity to take part in this important and exciting mission.
