Autoimmune and rheumatic conditions can have a serious negative impact on a person’s life. They can cause fatigue, muscle aches, rashes and joint pain. Rheumatologists specialize in treating those conditions, and for the past 20 years, the field has experienced a surge in innovative treatments and tools to address these concerns. The team at Rheumatic Disease Center – with locations in Glendale and Milwaukee – is at the forefront of diagnosis and treatment in Wisconsin, helping improve the lives of their patients. “We’re an independent practice,” says Dr. Jonathan Kushi of Rheumatic Disease Center. “That means patients have better access to their providers. Our patients know that when they call, we’ll be there.”
RDC treats many conditions, including osteoporosis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Every doctor at RDC is a specialist in rheumatology and can provide the expertise to diagnose conditions and treat them. RDC offers comprehensive diagnostic services, convenient testing in office, and it has an infusion therapy center in-house. “Our North Star is quality, accessible patient care,” Kushi says. “Sometimes in health care that can get lost. Here, we make sure that everyone knows the most important thing is always ensuring the best possible care for every patient.”
