Treatments and Services
Arthritis and Rheumatology of Georgia strives to provide our patients with comprehensive rheumatology care under one roof.
Our Commitment
At Arthritis and Rheumatology of Georgia (ARG), we strive to provide our patients with comprehensive rheumatology care under one roof. Our goal is to ensure that every patient receives personalized, evidence-based treatment to manage their rheumatologic conditions effectively.
Comprehensive Rheumatology Care
Our practice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatology and arthritis-related conditions. Our board-certified physicians and physician assistants can treat patients 16 years of age and older by referral.
Infusion Therapy
If you have moderate to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Lupus, Vasculitis, or Osteoporosis and are experiencing an inadequate response to conventional therapy, infusion therapy may be a treatment option discussed by your provider. Our infusion suite provides a comfortable environment while receiving intravenous medication, monitored by experienced registered nurses. Complimentary snacks and Wi-Fi are provided. The following are some medications we provide:
- Actemra
- Benlysta
- Cosentyx
- Inflectra (Biosimilar)
- Orencia
- Reclast
- Remicade
- Renflexis (Biosimilar)
- Rituxan
- Simponi Aria
Onsite Laboratory Services
When developing a diagnosis and monitoring medications, our rheumatologists order numerous blood tests. ARG provides on-site phlebotomy services and sends labs to Orchard, Quest, LabCorp, RDL, and AVISE. Please check with your insurance company to see if they have a preferred laboratory provider.
Diagnostic Services
- Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: An inexpensive, noninvasive technique to look into the joints, detecting active inflammation better than x-ray without radiation exposure. Dr. Gary Myerson and Dr. Paul Sutej are trained and certified to offer this service.
Specialized Treatments
- Joint Injections: Our physicians and physician assistants offer joint injections as supplemental treatments. Corticosteroids like Depo Medrol or viscosupplements can be used to ease joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Injections are a temporizing measure for both degenerative and inflammatory types of arthritis.
- Aspiration of Joints: This procedure removes fluid from the space around specific joints using a needle and syringe, performed in the office with local anesthetic.
Telemedicine Services
Our practice offers telemedicine services through Otto Health/NextGen, designed to meet specific patient needs. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this service to all patients. Your specific medical condition, your provider, and your insurance coverage will determine if this service is suitable for your healthcare needs.
Patient Support
- Patient Education and Support: We believe in empowering our patients through education. We offer resources and support to help you understand your condition and treatment options.
- Insurance and Financial Services: Our financial team works with you to understand your insurance benefits and provide clear insights into the costs of your care.
- Spanish Interpretation: Our onsite Spanish interpreter is a Certified Spanish/English Medical Interpreter through the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education.
Nuestra intérprete de Español actualmente obtiene un certificado de intérprete médico de Español/Inglés a través del Centro de Educación Continua de la Universidad de Georgia.
