Practice

Idaho Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center is staffed by two Board Certified Rheumatologists and fifteen other staff including a registered infusion nurse, radiology technician, ultrasound technician, phlebotomists, laboratory technicians and medical assistants.

Bone density (DXA), skeletal X-ray, Diagnostic and Interventional Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, Immunotherapy and comprehensive rheumatology labs in our CLIA certified Laboratory are offered in-house to diagnose and comprehensively treat a wide spectrum of rheumatic diseases.

Considered a Rheumatologist's "stethoscope", Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a novel approach to accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment for several forms of arthritis. Our state-of-the-art Toshiba Xario XG ultrasound provides excellent imaging of early joint damage, joint inflammation, joint fluid, tendon or ligament tears and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Rheumatologists at Idaho Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center were the first in Idaho to offer this remarkable technology to patients in 2006.

Immunotherapy has been a revolution in the care of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis and Osteoporosis. The IV medications used for these disorders include Remicade, Rituximab, Orencia, Reclast and Boniva. Patients are infused in a comfortable environment in our immunotherapy center under the constant care of our experienced registered IV nurse. Our physicians are also just steps away to address any potential issues.
