Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic's Service

Laboratory Services

Highly skilled and experienced
Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic laboratory personnel test and report with accuracy and speed.

 


Complete X-Ray Services


State-of-the-art equipment and skilled Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic personnel aid in the rapid and accurate formulation of a diagnosis, treatment and the evaluation of progress.

 

Bone Density Measurement

We perform bone densitometry testing in our office.  This test takes about fifteen minutes, and is similar to a regular x-ray.  The bone density test is read and interpreted by Dr. Goodman, Valerie Scott NP, or Glenna Allbritton NP.  They are certified by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry to read and interpret this test.

Infusion Therapy

Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic has extensive experience with in-office intravenous infusions of Remicade for rheumatoid arthritis.  Patients receiving the infusions are seen every visit by either Dr. Goodman, Valerie Scott NP, or Glenna Allbritton NP.  Many patients also enjoy watching TV, reading or just visiting with other Remicade patients while they receive their infusion.
 
   

MRI For Rheumatoid Arthritis

The newest technology available to look at joint erosion is MRI.  MRI gives us the ability to identify bone erosion earlier.  By looking at certain key joints in the hands, wrists, or feet,
Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic can make a more precise assessment of how your arthritis is controlled.
