Arthritis & Osteoporosis Clinic
The Arthritis and Osteoporosis Clinic currently has 1 Rheumatologist, and two one Nurse Practitioners providing current rheumatology and bone care. Since the Clinic services a population of about 250,000 in the Central Texas area (with some patients even traveling from 2 hours away), the decision was made 2 years ago to selectively provide health care for specific Rheumatology conditions. By doing this, our average appointment waiting time for a consultation is approximately one month. All inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic disorders are treated. State of the art BMD, which has both Vertebral Fracture Analysis and Body Composition capacities, helps in the assessment and treatment of Bone conditions. Our Infusion Unit staff along with research coordinators provide both routine biologic agents as well as clinical research therapeutics. The Clinical Research Department routinely has about 6 cutting edge ongoing clinical trials to service patients with various Rheumatic conditions. We are also engaged in a few investigator-initiated clinical studies.
