Rheumatology Care in the Region

For the convenience to our patients and providers in the region, we participate in Telemedicine. Telemedicine enables you to stay in your home community and be seen by a Billings Clinic rheumatologist through video conferencing. Our specialists also see patients in our Outreach Clinics in Lewistown and Miles City.
