He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Schweitzer is interested in conditions including arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and gout, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, and vasculitis.
Care Philosophy
“As a rheumatologist, I think it’s important to do the detective work necessary to discover the causes of swelling and pain,” Schweitzer said. “It’s crucial to determine a correct diagnosis early so that appropriate treatment can begin.”
He also expresses a strong belief in the importance of integrative care. “I refer my patients to orthopedists and physical and occupational therapists, as well as to nontraditional health-care providers,” he said.
