About Connected Rheumatology
Behind each case of Lupus (or RA, Fibromyalgia, Psoriatic Arthritis, etc) is a unique individual.
Unfortunately that individual is often left out of their own care, especially when dealing with complex rheumatic conditions. Those with chronic, autoimmune or inflammatory diseases are then left overwhelmed & confused.
Expert care with an empathic heart.
Through holistic and personalized patient care & education wrapped in empathy, Connected Rheumatology provides the tools necessary to engage and partner with your doctor.
Frustrated with the state of the modern medical clinic, Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz built Connected Rheumatology. Connected Rheumatology is a mission-driven rheumatology clinic, focused on providing first-class care and education that empowers those with rheumatic & autoimmune diseases. As an out-of-network, boutique practice, Connected Rheumatology is able to provide the time and attention needed.


Why “Connected”?
Because we believe it is all connected.
The Connected Rheumatology mission is to:
Provide state-of-the-art rheumatic care
Educate people on the connection between lifestyle, inflammation & the mind-body relationship
Empower people to take back control of their health
Our goal is to create a movement of informed & committed patient partners who are armed with accurate information to engage with their healthcare team and help themselves live their best life – even in the face of a rheumatic condition.
