The Division of Pediatric Rheumatology at Hospital for Special Surgery is affiliated with Weill Cornell Medicine, and provides complex and comprehensive diagnostic services for children with rheumatic diseases and related conditions.
Our expertise includes:
- juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
- lupus
- pediatric scleroderma
- vasculitis of childhood
- Lyme disease
- Raynaud's phenomenon
- Other pediatric rheumatology conditions
Virtually every medicine that is used by the adult rheumatologist - in the appropriate child, with very careful monitoring - is now used by our experienced pediatric rheumatologists with excellent outcomes. With new biologic therapies, many of them tested at Hospital for Special Surgery, along with physical therapy, the disease can be controlled and children can regain normal function.
The work was perfectly organized for the patient's benefit. Everyone was attentive and answered clearly all the questions asked about his well-being. The doctor and his assistants showed very friendly and compassionate attention. I can recommend for my friends and coworkers Doktora Philip Petrou
It's no exaggeration to say that Dr Petrou has changed my life. I actually have considerable times when I have very little pain, after having lived with escalating, chronic and unremitting pain for years. He did the most thorough and careful review of my records and history that I have seen with any doctor. From that, and from his careful examination, he recommended procedures that others had not offered, and they have resulted in much less pain and much better function. e is knowledgeable and very thorough, and he explains things well. He takes time with his patients. I find him to be very kind and compassionate. I could not recommend Dr Petrou more highly; thanks to the doctor and practice for wonderful care.
To Whom This May Concern, I would recommend Dr.Rebecca Ascunce to a family member or to a friend in a nano second for the special medical services she has provided to me over the years and she has helped me sustain a good healthy life style. I'm proud to have an amazing personal physician like you in my life. Thank you for everything you do for me and I'm very grateful. Best regards, Rogelio M.A. Galindo Jr.
