Rheumatology
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
If pain, stiffness or other symptoms are not going away, it may be time to see a rheumatologist. These conditions can change over time and getting the right care early can help prevent symptoms from getting worse.
You may benefit from rheumatology care if you experience:
- Ongoing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
- Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
- Bone loss or repeat fractures
- Chronic pain without clear answers
- Symptoms that make daily activities harder, such as walking, working or sleeping
Seeing a rheumatologist can help you better understand what is happening in your body and explore treatment options that fit your needs. Early evaluation and ongoing care can support long-term health, comfort and quality of life.
