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.
Dr Jacobs was warm and thoughtful in her analysis. Her technician who did the sonogram was beyond thorough and I was confident all the appropriate views were captured. Dr. Jacob’s explained everything clearly and gave me a number of options to think about.
Dr. Ellozy is an extraordinary excellent doctor...He is very professional, he is wonderful, kind, and caring. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything in detail, and never made me feel rushed. He made me feel comfortable during my visit and left his office feeling relieved. Definitely will recommend him to others.
