Conditions treated may include rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia, among many others.

Dr. Antommattei can also refer patients to specialist physicians when medically needed. For instance, patients with skin conditions may be referred to a dermatologist for further diagnostic tests or treatment plans.
