New Mexico Rheumatology

Do you have a rheumatic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, osteoarthritis, gout, vasculitis, or myositis? If so, you know how these conditions can impact your daily life.

At Health Specialists of New Mexico, our dedicated team of rheumatology specialists(are) here to help you manage your rheumatic disease and improve your quality of life. We offer the following benefits:

• Expertise and specialized training: Our rheumatologists are highly skilled internists who have received additional years of training in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases and systemic autoimmune conditions. They have a deep understanding of rheumatic diseases and stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in treatment.

• Comprehensive approach: We take a holistic approach to rheumatology care, considering not only the musculoskeletal aspects of your disease but also its impact on your overall health and well-being. We address all aspects of your condition to provide you with the best possible care.

• Early diagnosis and intervention: Identifying rheumatic diseases early is crucial, as they can often evolve over time. Our rheumatologists are skilled at conducting thorough evaluations and diagnostic investigations to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms. Early diagnosis allows for prompt and appropriate treatment, which can help alleviate pain, manage symptoms, and potentially prevent disease progression. Our team also follows a pain protocol that allows our patients to have relief from their symptoms without the use of dangerous and addictive medications such as opioids. It is important to note, that our physicians provide treatment for rheumatology diseases, which may relieve auto-immune-related pain but are not pain specialists for non-auto-immune pain.

• Personalized treatment plans: We understand that every patient is unique, and their rheumatic disease manifests differently. Our rheumatology team creates personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. We take into account factors such as the severity of your condition, your lifestyle, and your treatment preferences, aiming to optimize your quality of life and overall well-being.

• Collaborative care: We believe that collaboration is essential to effective rheumatology care. Our rheumatologists work closely with other specialists within our practice to provide integrated and coordinated care. This collaboration ensures that all aspects of your health are addressed and treatment plans are seamlessly coordinated.

• Patient education and support: We believe in empowering our patients through education. Our team takes the time to provide you with in-depth information about your condition, available treatment options, and self-management strategies. We support you in actively participating in your own care, making informed decisions, and taking steps towards better health.
