Rheumatology Services in Washington Township, NJ

Fellowship-Trained Rheumatologists Serving Gloucester County and South Jersey

When symptoms cross multiple joints, shift without warning, or don’t respond to standard treatment, you need a practice built solely on rheumatology. Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates (ARBDA) has operated as an independent rheumatology practice since 1974, and our physicians diagnose, treat, and medically manage arthritis, osteoporosis, and other inflammatory and autoimmune disorders that cause musculoskeletal pain and joint inflammation. Every physician on our team has completed fellowship training in rheumatology and is board-certified or board-eligible; we’re not just a general internal medicine office that handles rheumatology on the side!

We welcome new patients, second opinions, and updated assessments of known conditions. We also offer comprehensive diagnostic ultrasound testing to support accurate, personalized diagnosis from the first visit.

Our Diagnostic Process

Persistent joint stiffness, unexplained swelling, chronic fatigue, and unusual rashes often point to a deeper autoimmune or inflammatory disease that a primary care provider may refer to a specialist for evaluation. Early diagnosis matters because waiting can result in permanent joint, bone, or organ damage. You should also consider seeing a rheumatologist when current treatments aren’t controlling symptoms or when symptoms are affecting your quality of life.

Certain systemic symptoms, including ongoing fever, skin rash, eye irritation, or unexplained weight loss, can signal connective tissue disease or other immune system involvement that requires specialist assessment. These aren’t always the first things patients associate with a rheumatology visit, but they fall squarely within our scope of practice.

At Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates, we don’t just treat symptoms. We search for the root cause by taking a detailed medical history, conducting a thorough physical examination, and using targeted lab tests to assess specific factors associated with arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and other rheumatic conditions. We also use advanced imaging, including our in-office diagnostic ultrasound equipment, to visualize soft tissue, joint, and tendon involvement in real time without radiation.

Getting Treatment at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates Washington Township

From over-the-counter pain management to advanced biologic infusion therapy and long-term monitoring, we provide full-spectrum rheumatology care. We work closely with your primary care physician throughout, and we’re available to patients who are newly diagnosed, seeking a second opinion, or looking for an updated assessment of a known condition. Our mission is to improve your quality of life while giving you the tools and knowledge to confidently manage your condition each day.

Once we understand your diagnosis, we design a custom treatment plan that might include infusion therapy, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), medication, diet guidance, physical therapy, or a combination. Our goal is to control inflammation, protect bone and joint structures, and support your overall health and mobility. If your condition evolves, your treatment evolves with it, because we adjust our plan using the latest advances in rheumatology. Full-spectrum care, including diagnostic blood panels, imaging, therapeutic injections, oral medication, infusion therapy, and long-term monitoring, is available within our practice.

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.
