Rheumatologists are specialized physicians who treat arthritis and other rheumatic diseases—those that affect the muscles, joints and bones. Dr. Raskin can diagnose and treat highly complex conditions, including those that affect other organs and systems like the brain, kidneys, blood vessels or lungs. Conditions treated may include rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia, among many others.
Palliative care physicians provide specialized medical care for people living with serious illness. Doctors who specialize in palliative care focus on providing relief from symptoms and stress, offering care that is focused on improving quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is appropriate at any age, and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided along with curative treatment.
The specialty of internal medicine is an area of primary care for adults. Dr. Raskin specializes in diagnosing and treating cross-system illnesses that may affect multiple organ systems. Dr. Raskin 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.
