Services Offered

Brother and sister smiling

Children with arthritis, lupus, or other rheumatic diseases are often difficult to diagnose and treat. They also may suffer from a wide range of troubling symptoms, including pain, growth problems, and disability, such as a limited ability to walk, write, and even learn. Our multidisciplinary team consists of pediatric rheumatology doctors, nurses, and social workers. We work together to collaborate on a long-term treatment plan customized for your child. We educate your child and family about the disease and treatment, and provide the support you need to manage your child's complex condition. We also work as advocates to recommend and obtain special services from your child's school to optimize his or her educational experience.

Convenient Locations

Extensive services are available for inpatients at Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago. Outpatient services are provided primarily at La Rabida Children's Hospital. Our pediatric rheumatology physicians also see patients in Merrillville, IN.
