I have reviewed this medical practice several times and I have nothing to change. I just like being treated by Dr. J Ros. He has great ‘bedside’ manner with office visits. He knows how to treat any problem I have brought to him. He never hesitates to refer me to a specialist if he feels I would benefit more. He is very reassuring and I leave there feeling someone does care!

Chronic conditions like arthritis may require monthly monitoring. If needed, we can set up follow-up meetings that fit your schedule. Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine PA recommends coming in at least once a year for an annual exam for arthritis management.
If there are uncomfortable symptoms we need to address, then the timeline will vary according to the patient and the severity of those symptoms. If we are treating a patient for arthritis, our team might discuss pain prevention and how to improve numbness and swelling in your limbs. However, the time it takes for the patient to see improvements in their arthritic symptoms will fluctuate from patient to patient.
When you come to see our arthritis specialist in Jacksonville, we will discuss any symptoms you have. Then we will review what we can do to help you feel better and maintain your health. We take most insurance. But every patient may have a unique set of needs. We will do a thorough evaluation and discuss the best strategies for helping you before we can determine the cost of the treatment.
Various risk factors, including age, genetics, previous joint injuries, and lifestyle choices, can influence arthritis. Understanding these factors can give you the power to make lifestyle changes that could reduce your risk or help you cope with symptoms if you’re already affected.
