Arthritis & Rheumatology Center PC

Arthritis & Rheumatology Center PC (ARC) was founded in 2013 by Dr. Jatin Patel to provide specialized, high-quality care for patients with rheumatic and autoimmune conditions. Based in Georgia, ARC offers a comprehensive range of outpatient services, including medical consultations, infusion therapy, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging (X-rays and MRIs), clinical trials, and an in-house dispensary, ensuring that patients receive coordinated care in one place.

With seven locations across the state, Canton, Cumming, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, Roswell/Alpharetta, Suwanee/Johns Creek, and Woodstock, ARC is committed to making expert care accessible. Each provider at the Center is either board-certified or board-eligible, with extensive experience in managing complex rheumatologic diseases through a personalized, evidence-based approach.

The Center is recognized for its combination of medical expertise and compassionate care. In 2017, ARC was honored with a Best Practice Award, reflecting its commitment to excellence in patient outcomes and innovation in treatment. The team prioritizes early and accurate diagnosis to help patients manage symptoms, prevent disease progression, and maintain quality of life.

ARC treats a broad spectrum of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, gout, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoporosis, vasculitis, scleroderma, Sjogren’s disease, bursitis, tendonitis, soft tissue disorders, myositis, and metabolic myopathies. Treatment plans are carefully tailored to meet each patient's individual needs, with a focus on long-term management and overall well-being.

The practice provides a variety of in-office procedures, including musculoskeletal ultrasound, joint injections, viscosupplementation, infusion services, X-rays, and lab work. With a fully digital, paperless system in place, ARC enhances communication, reduces errors, and ensures seamless coordination of care. Patients also have access to a secure online portal for scheduling, refill requests, form completion, and direct messaging with the care team.

Through its involvement in clinical research, including studies on lupus, ARC allows patients to explore emerging therapies. Arthritis & Rheumatology Center PC remains a trusted source of expert care for individuals throughout Georgia.
