At Kern Medical, we are pleased to offer our patients access to the most
advanced tests and treatments for rheumatic conditions such as arthritis
and lupus. Our goal is to uncover what causes the immune system to attack
healthy tissues. Our board-certified rheumatologists are involved in clinical
research of rheumatic conditions so they can improve patient quality of
life and limit symptoms such as pain and swelling. We understand how chronic
