For patients who need more specialized care, our team coordinates with rheumatologists at our BMC campus in Boston’s South End to get you the care you need without leaving BMC Health System. Services offered at BMC include rheumatology-specific dermatology, kidney care, and pulmonology.
If you’re switching your care to our office, you may need to request a copy of your medical records from your previous rheumatologist to ensure you continue to get the care you need, when you need it. Please complete an authorization to release medical records form and return it to our practice.
The records themselves should be sent to Boston Medical Center (BMC) Rheumatology via fax to 413.301.9791.
