Rheumatology is a sub-specialty of Internal Medicine. A rheumatologist has trained in general internal medicine after medical school and then completed two more years of training in a Rheumatology fellowship.

Rheumatology consists mainly of the study of problems of the joints and connective tissues of the body and of auto-immune diseases. Dr. Ami Milton, our rheumatology specialist, can help to evaluate and treat diseases such as lupus, scleroderma and the many types of arthritis.
