What does a rheumatologist do?
The rheumatologist is the medical specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and systemic autoimmune diseases.
Therefore, the rheumatologist is specialized in treating a set of diverse and complex diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system, but that can also affect other organs and tissues such as the skin, eyes, and nervous system, among others.
