Personalized Approach for Rheumatology Patients
University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Division of Pediatric Rheumatology provides consultative services to primary care physicians for non-inflammatory conditions such as fibromyalgia, patellofemoral syndrome, and hypermobility syndrome.
The rheumatologists serve as resource to pediatricians who may wish assistance in evaluating children with abnormal inflammatory laboratories and/or detectable autoantibodies. Two of our staff are board-certified in adult rheumatology. This unique combination of expertise is especially helpful in providing uninterrupted care to adolescents with autoimmune diseases as they mature into adulthood.
