Baton Rouge General Rheumatology shares a clinic space with Baton Rouge General Dermatology. Some conditions that rheumatologists treat, like psoriatic arthritis, are tied to dermatologic issues, and rashes, dry skin and itchiness are a common first symptom for some rheumatic diseases. By combining these specialties, patients can conveniently see both physicians at one visit.
