Finding a rheumatologist can be a very daunting task, especially if you are from a small town like my family and I. Here is a provider locator from the American College of Rheumatology. Simply enter your zip code and apply any relevant filters (for example, “Pediatrics”).

It is important to note that this list is not exhaustive. If you do not see a provider near you, ask your primary car physician for a referral. You can also contact a nearby children's or academic hospital's rheumatology department directly.
