New Jersey Lupus Physicians

Qualified Rheumatologists Providing Specialized Care to Lupus Patients in South & Central Jersey & Philadelphia

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that comes in several forms and can affect nearly every part of the body, from joints and skin to the kidneys, heart, and brain. Managing it effectively requires a physician who focuses on this every day. 

Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates has been diagnosing, treating, and medically managing lupus and other autoimmune diseases for more than 50 years. Every physician on our team has completed fellowship training in rheumatology and is board-certified or board-eligible. We aren't a general internal medicine office that handles rheumatology on the side; we're dedicated specialists who understand how lupus works and how to keep it under control. We accept new patients and offer second opinions and updated assessments for known conditions. If you're looking for a dedicated rheumatology team, we'd welcome the chance to care for you.

Diagnosing and Treating Lupus

Because lupus symptoms can overlap with other inflammatory conditions and shift over time, accurate diagnosis often requires a combination of physical examination, review of your medical and family history, blood tests such as antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing, complement levels, and complete blood count, urinalysis, and, in some cases, imaging. Our in-office diagnostic ultrasound centers provide real-time imaging of joints, soft tissue, and tendons without radiation. Every scan is interpreted by a physician trained specifically in rheumatology, not a general radiologist. That distinction matters when you need accurate, timely information to guide treatment decisions.

Full-spectrum lupus care is available under one roof at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates, including diagnostic blood panels, therapeutic injections, oral medication, infusion therapies, and long-term monitoring. We also collaborate closely with your referring or primary care physician, sharing records and findings for consistent care.

What should I expect at my first rheumatology appointment?

Your physician can review your medical and family history, assess which organ systems may be involved, and order or review blood work, including ANA and other antibody panels. From there, we develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific diagnosis and circumstances.

Do I need to go to a hospital for biologic infusion therapy?

No. Our IDYLLIC Infusion Treatment Centers are outpatient facilities located within our offices. Every infusion is supervised by an on-site medical professional, and the cost is substantially lower than hospital-based treatment.

Questions About Your Rheumatology Care

What is rheumatology?
Rheumatology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the joints, bones, muscles, and immune system. Rheumatologists manage conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, osteoporosis, gout, and more than 100 other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
How is a rheumatologist different from a general practitioner?
After internal medicine residency, rheumatologists complete two to three additional years of fellowship training in diseases of the joints and immune system. Every physician at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates completed this training. A general practitioner does not have this specialized background.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any prior lab results, imaging studies, or records from your primary care physician or previous specialists. A list of current medications is also helpful. Your physician will review everything before the examination and use it to inform your diagnostic workup.
How does in-office infusion therapy work?
Biologic medications for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are sometimes administered intravenously rather than by pill or injection. Our IDYLLIC Infusion Treatment Centers provide this treatment inside our offices with a medical professional supervising every session, at substantially lower cost than hospital-based infusion.
Is in-office ultrasound the same as radiology imaging?
Diagnostic ultrasound in our offices provides real-time images of joints, tendons, and soft tissue without radiation. Unlike a radiology referral, every scan at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates is interpreted by a physician with specific rheumatology training, so findings are evaluated in the context of your condition, not in isolation.
Do you coordinate with my primary care physician?
Yes. We collaborate closely with referring and primary care physicians, sharing records and findings so your care stays consistent across providers. You won't need to repeat your history or serve as the messenger between offices.
