At the Medical Clinic of Houston, L.L.P. (MCH), we provide specialized rheumatology care for patients in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas. Rheumatology is a subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Our board-certified rheumatologists have extensive training and expertise in managing both common and complex musculoskeletal conditions.
Rheumatologists are medical doctors who complete a residency program in internal medicine, followed by two to three years of specialized training in rheumatology. This in-depth training allows them to effectively manage a broad range of diseases, including autoimmune disorders and systemic inflammatory conditions that can affect the joints, skin, and other organ systems.

- Vasculitis
- Lupus
