Credentials and Capabilities That Set ARBDA Apart

The depth of clinical leadership at ARBDA is uncommon for an independent practice. Founder Dr. Sheldon Solomon holds the title of “Master” from the American College of Rheumatology, the highest distinction that organization awards. He is a Fellow of the American Board of Internal Medicine with subspecialty certifications in rheumatology, geriatrics, and bone densitometry, and he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Arthritis Foundation as well as the National Fibromyalgia Association Physician of the Year Award in 2008.

Dr. Mark Fisher, a founding partner and Fellow of the American College of Rheumatology, has served as a clinical investigator in phase 2 and phase 3 trials for new biologics and rheumatoid arthritis medications, giving ARBDA direct involvement in treatments that are now standard of care.

ARBDA's diagnostic ultrasound center is led by Amy Evangelisto, M.D., RhMSUS, who holds certifications in both diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound and recently served as President of the Ultrasound School of North American Rheumatologists, a combination that's rare in an independent practice setting. ARBDA also works with most major insurance plans and helps identify copay assistance options. When you're referred to our practice, we share records and findings with your primary care provider so your care stays consistent across providers.

How Your Treatment Journey Starts

Your first visit will begin with a comprehensive intake: a review of your medical history, a detailed physical examination, and an open conversation about your symptoms. Your rheumatologist may recommend diagnostic testing, including ultrasound or blood work, at the same visit.

From there, we begin building a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, infusion therapy, physical therapy, or referrals to clinical trials. Dr. Fisher's background in phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trial research means patients who may benefit from investigational therapies may have a direct path to those options. We encourage questions at every appointment and make sure you leave with a clear explanation of your diagnosis, your test results, and your next steps.

Biologic Infusion Therapy Without a Hospital Stay

ARBDA was the first independent rheumatology practice in New Jersey to offer in-office infusion services, completing its first infusion treatment in 2001. Today, across seven infusion centers, ARBDA completes as many as 29,000 infusions for over 8,000 patients in one year. IDYLLIC Infusion Treatment Centers are located within ARBDA offices, so Ewing Township patients can access advanced biologic infusions at substantially lower cost compared to hospital-based treatment, with an on-site medical professional supervising every infusion.

Biologic infusion therapy targets specific mechanisms of inflammation and is typically used when oral medications haven't achieved adequate disease control. As part of ongoing autoimmune disease management, we also provide education on lifestyle adjustments, medication management, and insurance or copay support. Learn more about our infusion services.

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.
