What to Expect at Your Appointment
UAMS has safety measures in place to protect our patients and employees. Everyone who comes to UAMS is required to wear a mask and pass a health screening before entering the building. You will also have your temperature taken. Please wear a clean mask to your clinic visit, and do not remove it until asked to do so by a UAMS employee.
Learn more about the safety measures we are taking.
Outpatient Visitor Guidelines
Patients must come to their visit alone. A friend or family member may come to an appointment only if the patient is under 18 or is not mentally or physically able to go to the appointment alone. You are welcome to include a friend or family member in your appointment by phone or video chat.
If you need a wheelchair from your car to your appointment, transport staff is available. Contact your clinic and they will help to arrange this for you.

About Rheumatology Clinic
In our Rheumatology Clinic, UAMS doctors who specialize in rheumatology and immunology are committed to caring for patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, the most crippling form of arthritis, as well as other diseases of the joints, tendons and connective tissues in the body.
At UAMS, we will chart a course to provide you with effective, personalized care. Since we are a teaching hospital, we are on top of the latest medications and treatments to help you live life to the fullest.
All of our rheumatology doctors are board-certified in their specialty and in internal medicine. They are among the top doctors in Arkansas for diagnosing and treating rheumatic diseases. We are experts in the treatment of all forms of inflammatory arthritis, as well as autoimmune diseases such as lupus.
Choosing Rheumatology Care at UAMS
We have access to powerful imaging tools, including computed tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), along with a complete battery of tests for diagnosis and treatment. For nonsurgical treatments, we have an excellent team of therapists, occupational therapists and physiatrists at UAMS. When surgical options are required, our rheumatologists work in close collaboration with their UAMS colleagues in orthopedic surgery and hand therapy to ensure comprehensive care.
To continue our quest to offer the best care for our patients, UAMS is opening a new infusion center to treat our rheumatoid arthritis patients, improving patient convenience and access. Please contact us to learn more about our rheumatology and immunology services.
