Rheumatology

At Wilmington Health Rheumatology, our specialists focus on the non-surgical treatment and long-term management of inflammatory diseases, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), vasculitis, and more. Rheumatic conditions can be complex and often require personalized care. Our team works closely with each patient to develop individualized treatment plans designed to reduce pain, manage inflammation, prevent permanent joint/organ damage, and improve patient quality of life. 

Our experienced providers bring advanced training and specialized expertise to every patient visit. Dr. Jayasundara and Dr. George are Duke-trained rheumatologists, and David Shoemaker, PA-C, served as a chief fellow at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Jayasundara is ultrasound-certified, enhancing our ability to diagnose and manage complex rheumatologic conditions.

To make care as convenient and comprehensive as possible, our department also offers in-house infusion services and laboratory testing, allowing many patients to receive diagnostic testing and treatment in one location.

Our team is committed to helping patients manage their condition, reduce pain, and maintain the highest possible quality of life.
