I have one word "awesome". Julie was very thorough and was explained to me so I could understand my situation. The time they all spent with me was great. I really like Dr. P also. Everyone was so polite and kind to me.

Medical Worker

When traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic medications (DMARDs) fail to provide the desired relief, biologic medicines are frequently used to treat specific disorders. Biologic medications, unlike their traditional equivalents, are made from human or animal proteins, making them a distinct class of treatment in therapeutics. They are more complicated and larger at the molecular level, distinguishing them as powerful tools in the battle against difficult diseases. Biologic medications include a wide range of choices, many of which are delivered via intravenous (IV) infusion therapy. The best biologic medicine for a patient is determined by a variety of characteristics that are unique to each individual's medical situation and the specific condition being treated.
