 Our mission is to offer comprehensive, collaborative, compassionate and state-of-the-art care for patients with various disease states including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus, osteoporosis, inflammatory bowel disease, sarcoidosis, and anemia of chronic kidney disease.
The staff of the Infusion Center is trained and experienced in all aspects of IV infusion, including routine and emergency procedures. A board certified rheumatologist with several years of experience in infusion therapy and clinical trials is always on the premises in addition to our clinical nurse practitioner and our regular medical assistants.
Our office also takes care of all insurance issues including pre-authorization, even for patients referred by outside physicians.
The Infusion Center is a pleasant and comfortable setting especially designed to ease the fears of those anticipating a new form of treatment. Every effort is made to make the infusion treatment as pleasant as possible. Besides the care of the patient’s primary disease, the personal privacy and the physical and emotional comfort of our patients are the utmost concern of our staff. For these reasons we accept transfers from other facilities.
