Make an Appointment
Our team is here to help you make an appointment with the specialists that you need.
I will work with you every single day to make sure that your child is not forced to skip childhood as a result of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and will reach adulthood in an abundance of health.
Dr. Imundo
When your child complains of muscle or joint pain, weakness, or fatigue, you may be referred to a pediatric rheumatologist. Rheumatic disease in children is complicated, and you'll want to see a rheumatologist with the experience and compassion to help your family cope with chronic disease. At ColumbiaDoctors our goal is to find the best treatments available for your child's condition, so that he or she can enjoy a normal childhood.
Comprehensive care is tailored to each child. Our pediatric and adolescent rheumatologist, Dr. Imundo, has unparalleled experience treating childhood rheumatic disease and has treated thousands of patients in the tri-state area. Our staff also includes rheumatology nurses and a clinical social worker. And we collaborate with specialists from across a world-renowned medical center when multidisciplinary care is necessary.

Center for Adolescent Rheumatology
Understanding the needs and minds of adolescents is key to helping them transition into adulthood with rheumatic disease. Through our adolescent rheumatology program – one of a few of its kind in the country – we meet adolescents where they are, helping them take the first steps towards independent management of their conditions. Through research studies, clinical work, and social services, we have developed methods to help teens and adolescents with everything from learning how to manage their own medications to navigating the healthcare system.
