Arthritis is not one disease. It is a name for more than 100 conditions that affect the joints, muscles and nearby tissues. Many of them cause the same symptoms, such as joint pain, stiffness, swelling, soreness and trouble moving. But the cause can differ a lot from one person to the next.
In some types, the immune system causes swelling in the joints. These include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus-related arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Other types, such as osteoarthritis, build up slowly as the joint breaks down. Because symptoms often overlap, the right diagnosis matters. Knowing your exact type helps us choose the right treatment, limit joint damage and ease pain.

I have been a patient of DR HASSAN for close to two years now. Prior to being seen with him, I was not taken seriously about the pain I was experiencing due to my blood work all being ok, and simply being told nothing was medically wrong with me.
I have been attending this clinic for nearly 1 year now. Dr Hasan is courteous, compassionate, attentive, and provides exceptional patient care. In addition to his qualifications, he doesn't rush patients, listens to and answers all questions. I feel a collective and unified approach to my well-being. The staff are always responsive and professional at either location. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who is seeking quality care. They exceed expectations and are appreciated by this patient.
I see Dr every 3 months and have always been heard and cared for. But I go to the infusion center 1 time a month, and those ladies are literally amazing! They care for us all with grace and beautiful moments. I feel seen and cared for every single visit!
They are very professional and friendly. Make sure you are doing well while here for infusions, and that we always get to see the specialist within 5 minutes of the appointment time.
Doctor Zamiri is the kindest Doctor I've ever had. He always spends a lot of time with me, answering all of my questions and showing a great deal of compassion toward me. I feel incredibly blessed to have found him. The entire office staff knows me by name and treats me with kindness every time I'm there.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) makes the smallest blood vessels swell. It often harms the kidneys and lungs before you notice symptoms.
Read Microscopic PolyangiitisArthritis means pain and swelling in the joints. Joints are the places where bones meet, such as the knees, hands or hips. It can cause stiffness, swelling and trouble moving. Arthritis has many types. The most common are osteoarthritis, where the joint breaks down over time, and rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system attacks the joints.
Arthritis has more than 100 types. The most common are osteoarthritis, where joint cartilage breaks down, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease. Others include psoriatic arthritis (linked to psoriasis), gout (crystals in a joint), lupus arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (mostly in the spine) and juvenile arthritis (in children under 16).
Common signs of arthritis are joint pain, stiffness, swelling and less movement. Many people also notice warmth or redness around the joint. Stiffness in the morning that gets better as you move is common, too. Over time, joints can get harder to move, and the area may feel weak or sore.
The cause depends on the type of arthritis. Common causes include joints breaking down over time, autoimmune disease, uric acid crystals, and joint injuries or infections. Your genes, age and weight can also raise your risk. Because the causes differ, your rheumatologist first finds your type. Then they plan your treatment.
Yes, if you have an HMO plan. All HMO plans need written approval (an authorization) from your primary care doctor. If you come without the approval you need, you can pay for the visit or move it to another day once you have it. Getting the right approval is up to the patient.
