Evaluation of Difficult Diagnoses
If you have suffered from longstanding pain, fatigue, rashes, or other systemic symptoms and have not improved with your current treatment, it is possible you have an autoimmune or inflammatory condition. There are many diseases that occur due to a sensitive immune system and can be difficult to diagnose without comprehensive evaluations that a rheumatologist may offer. We are happy to review your previous diagnoses and other medical records. Please bring this information with you when you visit our providers.
