Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis in which your body's immune system attacks healthy tissue in your joints. This makes the joints swollen, stiff, and painful. Over time, it may destroy the joint tissues and make it hard for you to walk and use your hands.

Medicine may help control rheumatoid arthritis or keep it from getting worse.

In an effort to better meet the needs of our community our office hours will be changing as of September 2, 2024.

We believe the addition of these earlier and later appointments during the week will better meet the needs of our patients.
