Rheumatology Care in Galloway

Evaluation & Ongoing Care for Joint, Bone, & Autoimmune Conditions

Persistent joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling, or unexplained inflammation may point to a condition involving the joints, bones, muscles, connective tissue, or immune system. A rheumatology evaluation may include a review of your symptoms and medical history, a physical examination, laboratory testing, imaging, and a discussion of next steps.

At Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates, we provide rheumatology care in Galloway for people seeking an initial evaluation, a second opinion, or ongoing management of a diagnosed condition. We develop each treatment plan around your diagnosis, symptoms, lifestyle, and medical needs.

To schedule an evaluation with our rheumatology practice, call (856) 424-5005.

Rheumatic & Autoimmune Conditions We Treat

We diagnose, treat, and medically manage arthritis, osteoporosis, and inflammatory and autoimmune disorders that cause musculoskeletal pain and joint inflammation. We also see patients who need an updated assessment because their symptoms have changed or their current treatment is no longer meeting their needs.

Conditions treated within our practice include:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Lupus
  • Gout and pseudogout
  • Polymyalgia rheumatica
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Scleroderma
  • Vasculitis
  • Sjögren’s syndrome
  • Tendinitis and bursitis

Symptoms alone don’t establish which condition is present. A rheumatologist considers the pattern of your symptoms alongside examination findings, test results, imaging, and your broader health history.

Testing, Treatment, & Long-Term Disease Monitoring

Rheumatic diseases can change over time, often requiring continued assessment rather than a single appointment. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor disease activity, review laboratory results, evaluate medication response, and adjust therapy as your condition changes.

Capabilities available across our practice include diagnostic blood panels, imaging, therapeutic injections, oral medication management, infusion therapy, and long-term monitoring. Services and treatment availability vary by office and clinical need, so our staff can clarify the options available when you schedule.

Diagnostic Ultrasound

Diagnostic ultrasound provides real-time images of joints, tendons, and soft tissue without radiation. When clinically appropriate, it can provide additional information about the structures being examined. Within our practice, physicians trained in rheumatology interpret these scans.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Your treatment plan depends on your diagnosis and may change with your symptoms, test results, medication response, and disease activity. We explain your results, options, and follow-up recommendations so you can ask questions and make informed decisions about your care.

Dedicated Care from Fellowship-Trained Rheumatology Physicians

Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates is an independent rheumatology practice established in 1974. Every physician in our practice has completed fellowship training in rheumatology and is board-certified or board-eligible. This training reflects our dedicated focus on diagnosing and medically managing rheumatic disease.

We coordinate with primary care and referring physicians by sharing relevant records and findings. Our practice also works with most major insurance plans and helps patients identify available copay assistance options.

How to Prepare for Your Rheumatology Appointment

A clear medical history can help your rheumatologist understand how your symptoms developed. Before your appointment, gather any information that may be relevant to your evaluation.

Helpful items may include:

  • A current list of medications and supplements
  • Prior laboratory and imaging results
  • Records from referring or primary care physicians
  • A brief timeline of symptoms and recent changes
  • Questions about your diagnosis, test results, or treatment options

We welcome new patients, people seeking second opinions, and those who need an updated assessment of a known condition. Your diagnosis and treatment recommendations will depend on an individual clinical evaluation.

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.
