Rheumatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating autoimmune diseases and rheumatic conditions. These disorders affect the joints, muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Rheumatic conditions cause general symptoms, like fatigue, fevers, muscle aches, skin rashes, and joint pain, that resemble many possible ailments.
The Rheumatic Disease Center offers comprehensive on-site diagnostics to quickly and accurately determine the source of each patient’s symptoms.
Patients conveniently get lab work, X-rays, ultrasound, and bone density testing done in the office. The team also operates a fully staffed infusion therapy center, allowing patients to receive the needed advanced medications without traveling to another site.
The Rheumatic Disease Center providers treat a wide range of health conditions. Many people seek help for common conditions like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, Lupus, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and Osteoporosis.
Conditions We Do Not Treat
While our team is dedicated to diagnosing and managing autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, we do not provide ongoing treatment or management for the following conditions:
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- Polyneuropathy
- Dysautonomia
- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
- General pain management
These conditions are best managed by primary care providers, pain management specialists, or other appropriate specialists who can offer comprehensive, long-term support. We are happy to assist in ruling out inflammatory or autoimmune causes of symptoms before guiding you back to the most appropriate care team.
No matter what health condition they diagnose, the team creates personalized and holistic care plans, incorporating advanced medication with lifestyle recommendations that support optimal health.

Kurt Oelke, M.D.
I have had RA for 20 years this year, in the beginning I was at a different group of doctors. For 2 years I suffered because no one would listen that the meds were not working. I searched for a new group of doctors and found RDC Dr. Oelke, is the kind of doctor you would have had 50 plus years ago. He takes time to talk to you and not just as a patient but a person. He also takes the time to explain procedures and medicine so that you feel comfortable with what you are putting in your body. Discusses options and talks you through the whole deal. . He's quite an asset to the Rheumatic Disease group of doctors. Honestly I had seen another "doctor" at RDC prior to Dr. Oelke that could take a lesson or two on patient/doctor interaction. I requested a new doctor and am happy I did, Dr. Oelke is the best.
John Albert, M.D.
Dr Albert has provided outstanding and pertinent information to me for a number of years.
Farrukh Pasha, M.D.
Great doctor, super warm, knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind!!! 10/10 highly recommend for rheumatology!!
Farrukh Pasha, M.D.
Dr. Pasha clearly explained my medication changes and gave me a written copy to follow. It was appreciated.
Jonathan Kushi, M.D.
He genuinely cares for your well-being and is a good listener.
Arnold Lim, M.D.
Listens carefully, compassionate, works as a health care partner.
