Rheumatology
Penn Medicine rheumatologists care for people with all types of arthritis and autoimmune diseases. From common joint problems to rare conditions, our specialists provide expert diagnosis, treatment, and research, all within one trusted health system.
Expert care for all rheumatic diseases
Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on conditions affecting the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. Our rheumatology doctors diagnose and treat everything from arthritis to rare autoimmune diseases. Because these illnesses can affect multiple body systems, our rheumatologists work closely with experts in orthopaedics, dermatology, nephrology, neurology, and other fields to make sure every part of your care is connected.
Specialized rheumatology care, designed around you
Our rheumatology specialists see more people with rare rheumatic diseases than most programs in the country. In fact, Penn Medicine is home to several specialized care centers focused on rare conditions, including relapsing polychondritis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, vasculitis, and Sjögren’s disease. Our experts have the experience and insights to recognize complex patterns and offer solutions you may not have been able to find elsewhere.
We’re also a leader in rheumatology research, which enables our patients to access advanced treatments through clinical trials. We tailor care plans to each person, including relief strategies that extend beyond medication to address all the sources of your pain. We’re dedicated to helping you move better, feel better, and protect your long-term health.
