Rheumatology
UT Southwestern Medical Center's Pediatric Rheumatology Division offers expert evaluation and treatment of rheumatic diseases found in children. Such diseases include the many forms of child arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (also known as idiopathic arthritis). We also care for children with lupus, juvenile dermatomyositis, morphea/scleroderma, vasculitis and a number of other conditions.
Clinical services are offered at Children's Medical Center Dallas and at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital’s arthritis clinic, which is one of the longest-established pediatric rheumatology clinics in the country and the major referral center for North Texas.
Services provided by UT Southwestern pediatric rheumatology physicians include:
- Physical and occupational therapy evaluations and recommendations
- Coordination of team care including ophthalmology, dental and dietary counseling
- Education about specific rheumatic conditions
- Evaluation and treatment of children with suspected rheumatic diseases
- Psychosocial support
This team approach, combined with the latest treatments and years of physician experience, gives UT Southwestern’s pediatric rheumatology patients the best in comprehensive care — through all stages of treatment.
