Dr. Ritika Narula Physician
Rheumatology Medical Center Her Story
As a Physician, my goal is to maintain and improve my patients' health and quality of life. After being trained in Internal Medicine, I specialized in Rheumatology and now treat patients with Autoimmune diseases and chronic pain, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Osteoarthritis. Rheumatology involves constant research and studies which lead to new and more effective medications. We are lucky to have different treatment options, so I listen carefully to my patients and work together with each of them to customize the best treatment course and make them as comfortable as possible. Understanding your pain and disease is as important as treating it. I make the effort to educate my patients on the mechanism of their symptoms and take the time to discuss possible treatment plans. I'm dedicated to finding the best solutions to the chronic conditions for each of my patients.
