Now offering rheumatology care at Saint Agnes

We’re proud to expand access to specialty care with the addition of Rheumatology services. Our care team will help patients manage conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system, with a focus on understanding symptoms, providing answers, and improving quality of life.

Rheumatologic conditions can be complex and often take time to fully understand. Our team is here to guide patients through every step with clarity, compassion, and expert care.

Care that starts with listening

Many people seek rheumatology care when they’re experiencing pain, stiffness or tiredness that has lasted a long time. Some symptoms are hard to explain or can take time to understand. At Saint Agnes Care Rheumatology, we start by listening.

When patients are seen by our board-certified, fellowship-trained rheumatologist, they can expect:

  • Time to talk about their symptoms and concerns
  • Care teams who listen and take their symptoms seriously
  • Clear, easy-to-understand explanation of treatment options
  • Honest answers, support and guidance every step of the way

Our goal is to make sure all patients feel heard, informed, and confident in their care.

When to see a rheumatologist

  • Ongoing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
  • Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
