Since its inception, the program has evaluated over 1200 patients with scleroderma from around the world. Our multidisciplinary program is highly integrated with experts in many specialties, especially physicians focused on pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and gastrointestinal complications. Expert, individualized patient care is provided by senior physicians (Drs. Trojanowski, York, Bujor) with extensive experience in the care of scleroderma and its many facets. The multidisciplinary care team has partners in Pulmonary, Cardiology, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Ob/Gyn, Orthopedics (hand specialist), Nutrition, among others, so that patients can receive all of their care by specialists with expertise in all aspects of scleroderma. Care is coordinated with the patient’s primary physician and with other providers when necessary.
