Rheumatology

Rheumatology is a division of bio medicine that deals with the joints, soft tissues, and immunological diseases. A Rheumatologist is trained in the diagnosis, treatment and therapy of the Rheumatic diseases. Rheumatologists generally work in outer clinics. It is not always possible for a Rheumatologist to be affiliated with a hospital and work with patients hospitalized with a Rheumatic disease so reference from a primary care doctor is required for an evaluation with a Rheumatologist.
