At Riverstone Rheumatology, we believe great care requires time, access, and continuity. Rather than growing indefinitely, we intentionally limit the number of patients we serve so current members can continue to enjoy timely appointments, direct communication, and personalized care.
Because demand occasionally exceeds available openings, we may place prospective patients on a priority waitlist. Joining the waitlist allows us to notify you as soon as membership becomes available.
Our goal isn't to build the largest practice. It's to provide the highest level of care to every patient we serve.
We are excited to be your local rheumatologist in Chattanooga.
We are not in network for insurance or Medicare. Insurance can be billed for labs, imaging, and meds but NOT office visits.
NO Referral Required

Direct rheumatology care operates without the constraints of insurance, which provides a significant advantage for both patients and providers. This model allows us to dedicate more time and attention to our patients, focusing on their specific needs and concerns without the pressure of insurance documentation and billing. While direct care itself does not bill your insurance directly, we want to reassure you that you can continue using your insurance for medications, imaging studies, and laboratory tests ordered by our providers. This structure enables a more personalized and comprehensive approach to your rheumatological health.

Forget the waiting room. With fewer patients, we are able to start your appointment on time—no long waits and no large volumes of paperwork when you arrive.
