The Rheumatology Center, under the direction
of staff rheumatologist Dr. Eric Kenny, provides
non-surgical treatment for musculoskeletal diseases
including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis,
osteoporosis, gout, polymyalgia rheumatica, and
other diseases causing inflammation or affecting
the autoimmune system. He works with his patients
in diagnosis, determination of severity of their
disease and establishing appropriate disease management,
including medical interventions, when appropriate.
Under the umbrella of The Orthopaedic Center,
patients benefit from a crossover of care available
through the spectrum of specialists available.
Often, Dr. Kenny’s patients can benefit
from electrodiagnostic testing and studies by
staff physiatrist Joyce Huerta.
Because of the effects of long term steroid use
on osteoporotic diseases, Dr. Kenny is able to
work closely together with The Osteoporosis Center
to screen at-risk patients, provide accurate diagnosis
and determine appropriate management. By providing
earlier, better and comprehensive treatments,
the patients experience quicker resolution of
their conditions.
