If your child often complains of pain in their joints, muscles, or bones, they could be suffering from a rheumatologic condition. These symptoms can be puzzling, but a pediatric rheumatologist can help. When seeing patients, our goal is to evaluate the problem and then provide care as needed. From infancy to 26, we treat those suffering from a variety of rheumatologic and inflammatory conditions.

At Boston Medical Center our Pediatric Rheumatology team can help you obtain the best treatment for your child. Read more:
