About Us
Fort Bend Rheumatology Associates
What do we do?
Here at Fort Bend Rheumatology Associates, we specialize in the treatment of autoimmune diseases that affect the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These diseases can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and potentially cause joint deformities.
How can we help?
Dr. Edward Hernandez, Dr. Ryan Valicek, and Dr. Nasha Nensey work closely with PA Walker and PA Wallace to care for and treat our patients. Working together, we are able to meet the needs of our current patients while still accepting as many new patients as possible.
We try our best to make things convenient for our patients. We understand getting referred out for services can be difficult, therefore we offer many services right in our office. Fort Bend Rheumatology associates has an in-house lab, a suite for in-house infusion therapy, and an onsite Physical therapist.
Our goal is to help enrich our patients overall experience by helping them understand their diagnosis and then treat them accordingly in the best way possible.
We thank you for trusting us with your care.
