RHEUMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF DELMARVA

Rheumatology Associates of Delmarva, also know as “RAD” has two offices conveniently located in Easton and Salisbury. Please note that our Cambridge office closed in September, 2022. The practice was originally founded by Dr. MacLaughlin in 1982 in Cambridge, the MacLaughlin family’s ancestral home since the mid- 1600s.  In 2002 it became Edmund J. MacLaughlin, MD, LLC and since then has grown steadily. In 2014 when Dr. Clayton, an Eastern shore native, joined the practice a fulltime office was opened in Easton.

In 2020, the practice began doing business as Rheumatology Associates of Delmarva when Drs. MacLaughlin and Clayton became partners.  The Salisbury office opened in 2021 to offer consultation, management, and infusion services to lower Delmarva. Our patients come from all counties on the peninsula: from the Virginia Cape, Southern Delaware and all the way up to Maryland’s Kent County.

The practice has continued to grow steadily over the years and now includes a team of six providers:  three rheumatologists, a bone health specialist, a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant.  We also have a highly skilled and dedicated team that allows us to offer a comprehensive array of services to our patients and community.

We are proud to call Delmarva our home and are committed to providing excellent rheumatology, osteoporosis, and infusion services for the entire peninsula.
We love what we do and we look forward to caring for our patients for decades to come.
