Rheumatoid arthritis can generally be treated effectively

Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York invites you to be the informed patient with the podcast that features experts from Central New York's only academic medical center.

I'm your host, Amber Smith.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the lining of the joints, and it's different than osteoarthritis, where the joint cartilage breaks down from wear and tear.

We'll hear all about diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis from my guest, Dr. Christian Geyer.

He's an assistant professor of medicine at Upstate specializing in rheumatology.

Welcome to The Informed Patient, Dr. Geyer.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for the invitation.
