The Division of Rheumatology at Augusta University maintains several specialty/ interdisciplinary clinics that offer top-notch care to a variety of Rheumatological issues.
The uveitis clinic, co-led by Drs. Oliver and Bloomquist (Ophthalmology), is a multi-specialty clinic shared between Rheumatology and Ophthalmology. Inflammatory diseases of the eye including uveitis and scleritis are diagnosed and treated with immunosuppressive medications. Individuals are examined holistically to identify associated systemic conditions that may be related to their underlying eye inflammation. This physician partnership allows point of care decision-making for diagnosis and treatment.
The lupus clinic, co-led by Drs. Rolle and Shi, is a team of experts dedicated to providing timely, comprehensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art care for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspected and established lupus . Our mission is to meet the specific needs of lupus patients, to participate and collaborate in research studies to advance the care of patients with lupus, and to raise awareness of lupus by advancing the education of trainees, physician, and allied health professionals in the early recognition and evaluation of patients with suspected lupus.
