Medical Rheumatology

We are the leading rheumatology unit in New Zealand. Our internationally trained specialist rheumatologists offer diagnosis, investigation and treatment services of the highest quality. In addition to providing state of the art medical management our rheumatologists are well aware that drugs cannot meet all the needs of someone with pain and disability. Experience has taught them how much more a team of expert health professionals can add to the management of a person with arthritis. This belief in the team process with their commitment of continuing education, training and research ensures that you receive the best possible care.

A comprehensive Outpatient Clinic service based at QE Health is available for new and follow-up referrals.

Outpost clinics are also held in various centres outside Rotorua, such as:

• Tauranga
• Taupo
• Whakatane

Essentially the clinics provide a diagnostic and other management service for arthritic and orther chronic conditions. Both a Rheumatoligst and a Rheumatology Nurse attend the clinics. Their services complement each other in providing support and long-term management.
