Lupus specialist offers extensive expertise and advanced training in the management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and its systemic complications. As a board-certified rheumatologist, our specialist has completed advanced fellowship training with a strong focus on autoimmune diseases, particularly lupus.

With years of experience treating a wide range of SLE case, our specialist is dedicated to providing comprehensive and individualized care. The Nasseri Clinic stays at the forefront of lupus management by adhering to the latest clinical guidelines and participating in ongoing medical education.

Patients benefit from our commitment to expert, up-to-date, and compassionate care tailored to the complex, systemic nature of lupus.

A comprehensive care plan is a detailed, individualized approach to managing our patients’ rheumatic and autoimmune health needs, focusing on both immediate symptom relief and long-term disease management. The process begins with an in-depth assessment of each patient’s medical history, current diagnoses such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other connective tissue diseases, medication regimens, lifestyle factors, and personal treatment goals.

Based on this assessment, our rheumatology experts design a tailored care plan that may include advanced diagnostic testing, medication optimization (such as adjusting DMARDs or biologic therapies), physical therapy recommendations, and strategies for joint protection and pain management. We also emphasize preventive care—including bone health monitoring, immunizations, and cardiovascular risk management—since patients with rheumatic diseases often have complex, interconnected health needs. Mental and emotional well-being are integral to our approach, and we provide support and resources for coping with chronic disease.

Our team-based, patient-centered approach ensures that all aspects of your health are addressed, treatments are harmonized, and potential medication interactions or complications are proactively managed.

At Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic & Rheumatic Diseases, we recognize the unique challenges faced by individuals living with lupus. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for rheumatic conditions, we offer access to advanced therapies for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including Saphnelo (Anifrolumab) and Benlysta (Belimumab). These innovative medications represent important advancements in lupus management, offering targeted treatment options for patients whose disease may not be adequately controlled with traditional therapies.

Saphnelo is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the type I interferon receptor, an important pathway involved in lupus inflammation. Benlysta, on the other hand, works by inhibiting the B-lymphocyte stimulator protein, reducing abnormal immune activity that contributes to lupus symptoms. Both medications can help decrease disease activity and improve quality of life for eligible patients.

If you are interested in exploring these treatment options, the specialists at Nasseri Clinic are here to help. Our experienced team will evaluate your medical history, current treatment plan, and insurance coverage to determine the most appropriate therapy for your individual needs. We are committed to working closely with you and your insurance provider to facilitate access to Saphnelo, Benlysta, or other advanced lupus treatments whenever medically indicated.

At the Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic & Rheumatic Diseases, our approach to monitoring and managing lupus flares is comprehensive and proactive, with a focus on minimizing long-term organ damage and improving our patients’ quality of life. We begin with individualized assessments during regular clinic visits, where our experienced rheumatologists take thorough patient histories to identify early symptoms of a lupus flare, such as new joint pain, skin changes, or unexplained fatigue.

Our team utilizes advanced laboratory testing and lupus-specific markers such as anti-dsDNA antibodies and complement levels to detect inflammation and disease activity even before clinical symptoms appear. This allows for early intervention and tailored treatment adjustments.

When a flare is detected, our clinic implements evidence-based treatment plans tailored to the severity of symptoms and organ involvement. This may involve adjustments in immunosuppressive therapy, short-term corticosteroid use, or other targeted interventions.
