Our approach is quite different. Rather than give up for the pessimistic view that nothing can be done for a suffering patient, we take a long term view of the healing process. Thereby, 100% of patients who come to see us are stabilized, and 60-80% are able to get off their medicines altogether. Using the various disease assessment tools ( such as Das 28, Haq calculators) the progression of their disease activity is assessed and accordingly tailored treatment is provided.
