My Philosophy
“As a rheumatologist, I think it's important to do the detective work necessary to discover the causes of swelling and pain. It's crucial to determine a correct diagnosis early so that appropriate treatment can begin.”
Schweitzer is a strong believer 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.”
