Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a rheumatologist?
While some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician, many patients can schedule directly with us. We recommend checking with your insurance provider first, but we're happy to help you navigate the process regardless of your situation.
What conditions do rheumatologists treat?
We specialize in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, psoriatic arthritis, and other joint, muscle, and connective tissue disorders. We also provide comprehensive diagnostic services for unexplained joint pain.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We understand that joint pain and autoimmune symptoms can significantly impact your daily life. We strive to schedule new patients within 1-2 weeks, with urgent cases often seen sooner. Established patients can typically be seen within a few days for follow-up appointments.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a valid photo ID, insurance cards, a list of current medications, any recent lab results or imaging studies, and a summary of your symptoms including when they started and what makes them better or worse. This helps us provide the most effective care.
Do you offer same-day lab results?
Yes! Our on-site laboratory provides rapid results for most common rheumatology tests, often within hours rather than days. This allows us to adjust treatment plans quickly and provide you with answers during your visit whenever possible.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurers. Our billing team is experienced in rheumatology coverage and can help verify your benefits before your appointment. We also offer payment plans for uninsured patients
