Board-Certified Rheumatologist, Dr. Nasser Nasseri, MD in Maryland

At Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases, we understand that patients living with chronic rheumatic conditions require personalized, consistent care. Regular follow-up appointments with your rheumatologist at our clinic are essential for effectively monitoring your disease activity, tailoring treatments, and managing potential complications.

The frequency of your visits may vary depending on several factors, including disease severity, stability, the type of treatment you’re receiving, and your individual health needs. Typically, patients experiencing active or unstable disease may need to visit our clinic every few weeks or months until their condition is well-controlled. Once your condition stabilizes and treatment proves effective, follow-up visits usually become less frequent, often scheduled every three to six months.

For those patients who have been in stable, long-term remission, annual visits may be sufficient to monitor for potential disease flares and medication side effects. However, if you experience any changes in symptoms, increased disease activity, or side effects from medications, we encourage you to immediately contact our team for an earlier consultation.

At Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases, Dr. Nasseri, MD emphasizes open communication between patients and rheumatologists to determine the best, individualized follow-up plan. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality of care, helping you maintain an optimal quality of life.

At Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases, our experienced rheumatologists specialize in evaluating, diagnosing, and effectively managing conditions such as lupus and fibromyalgia. Our clinic is dedicated exclusively to rheumatic and autoimmune disorders, allowing us to provide comprehensive, personalized care that addresses the unique needs of each patient.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as lupus, is an autoimmune disease capable of affecting multiple organ systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, and other tissues. Due to lupus’s complexity, our experienced rheumatologists offer advanced diagnostic methods and tailored treatment plans. These plans can involve medications to suppress the immune system, reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and prevent potential organ damage, significantly improving your quality of life.

Fibromyalgia, another condition commonly managed at Nasseri Clinic, is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. Although fibromyalgia is not classified as an autoimmune disorder, its symptoms often overlap with those of autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. At Nasseri Clinic, our skilled rheumatologists utilize their specialized knowledge and advanced diagnostic tools to accurately differentiate fibromyalgia from other rheumatic conditions. We provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches that include personalized medication management, lifestyle modifications, and patient education.

At Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases, we understand that each patient is unique. Our rheumatologists are committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care, focusing on accurate diagnosis, disease differentiation, and personalized management strategies.

Our team is highly trained in utilizing advanced therapeutic procedures such as joint injections, which involve administering corticosteroid medications or lubricating agents directly into affected joints. This targeted approach rapidly reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and enhances mobility, significantly improving our patients’ quality of life.

In addition to joint injections, our specialists frequently perform joint aspirations—procedures designed to remove excess fluid from swollen joints. This not only helps relieve discomfort but also provides valuable diagnostic information, assisting us in developing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique condition. Our comprehensive offerings also include soft tissue injections, ultrasound-guided injections for enhanced accuracy, and biopsies when indicated, particularly beneficial when diagnosing complex autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.

Patients seeking information or experiencing concerns about joint or soft tissue injections and other specialized procedures are encouraged to consult directly with our team. Together, we will explore available treatment options to create a customized, effective care plan focused on achieving optimal health and mobility.

At Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases, early diagnosis by one of our experienced rheumatologists significantly enhances patient outcomes. Our specialized approach ensures prompt evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Early intervention helps patients achieve better symptom control, slows down disease progression, and markedly improves quality of life.

By identifying rheumatic conditions at their earliest stages, our experienced team is able to initiate appropriate treatments promptly, minimizing joint damage, functional impairments, and long-term complications. Early diagnosis also reduces the necessity for aggressive therapies later on, as treatments at an early stage tend to be less intensive yet more effective. Patients who receive timely rheumatologic assessment typically experience fewer hospitalizations, reduced complications, and improved overall health outcomes.
