Catalina Pointe Arthritis & Rheumatology Specialists

Catalina Pointe Arthritis and Rheumatology clinic opened July 5th of 2005. We are located at 7520 N. Oracle Road, suite 100 just north of Ina Road, south of Suffolk. The practicing rheumatologists of the clinic are: Drs. Laurie Bergstrom, Michael Maricic, Deborah Jane Power, Berchman Austin Vaz, Bridget Walsh and Alpana Dhar. They are all board certified in both Internal Medicine & Rheumatology. Together, they have years of experience in caring for patients with rheumatic disorders and have been recognized for their excellence in patient care, medical education and research. The physicians work in conjunction with an excellent team of nurse practitioners, Cynthia Uthe-Straw, Judy Stein and Li-Ting Sudano and physician assistant Sandy Jansen. The mission at Catalina Pointe "is to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic disorders combined with personal and compassionate care." We have the capability of providing on-site infusion therapy in a comfortable setting for patients requiring infusions for rheumatic disorders. We utilize the latest technology for measuring bone density (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry or DXA) here in our office. We also have in-office lab drawing so that our patients do not have to go to another site to have their labs done.
