Rheumatology
Expert care for your rheumatic condition.
Everyday tasks like walking, opening a jar, or even getting out of bed can feel overwhelming when you have joint pain or stiffness. If you are struggling with arthritis or a rheumatological condition with symptoms that are slowing you down, it’s time to get help.
At Hackensack Meridian Health, our rheumatologists across New Jersey are specially trained to recognize complex symptoms and provide treatment plans that address the root cause of your diagnosis or illness. They also collaborate with other specialists, such as dermatologists, pulmonologists and pain management experts, to ensure holistic care.
