The Department of Rheumatology at the En Chu Kong Hospital strives to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that primarily affect the musculoskeletal system - joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These conditions are known collectively as systemic rheumatic diseases. Rheumatologic disorders may also affect the blood vessels, skin, nerves, and most internal organs. We provide care with expertise in rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, spondyloarthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, and other inflammatory arthritis.
Our rheumatologists are experienced in diagnosing and treating all types of rheumatic diseases, including complex autoimmune diseases. Our rheumatologists collaborate closely with the physicians of other specialties (from orthopedists and dermatologists to nephrologists and pulmonologists) when treating the patients, depending on the nature of the rheumatologic disorder. They also work closely with the local doctors to ensure a smooth transition of care.
Whether to relieve arthritis pain or to seek the newest therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, myositis, or other complex conditions, our rheumatologists offer advanced care at the academic health center level.
