Expert Pediatric Rheumatology Care—Close To Home

For parents in Contra Costa County and surrounding communities, having a child with a complex medical condition used to mean spending lots of time traveling all over the Bay Area for visits with children’s specialists. 

Through our collaboration with Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, we diagnose and treat a wide range of rheumatologic disorders in children of all ages—right here, close to home.  

In addition to your pediatric rheumatologist, your child’s care team may also include nurses and other healthcare providers—all who have advanced training in specifically treating children and teens.
