Mission Statement

At the Nairobi Arthritis clinic, our mission is to relieve pain and suffering by providing quality care in a compassionate, evidence based and efficient manner.

Alleviating pain and suffering

Many of the illnesses we encounter are painful and debilitating. It is our aim to treat your symptoms in the most effective manner possible. This will often involve addressing the specific cause of the symptoms, and to do so, we first need to make an accurate diagnosis. Where does the rheumatologist most useful? While non-specific means of pain relief can be used to temporarily reduce symptoms, we have found, and proper symptom evaluation augmented with appropriate diagnostic tests thus providing the correct medication targeting the specific diseases will produce the best long-term result.

Mission Statement

Our health care providers have made attempts to keep up with the latest developments in treating rheumatic diseases in order to provide you with the best outcome possible. Despite our attempts to stay current, there is simply no substitute for time. Quality care takes time, and it is our pledge to you as patients to give you enough time to address your concerns and to allow us to understand your problems in detail.

Our goal at Nairobi Arthritis clinic is to demonstrate compassion to those who are in need of our care. We strive to make this evident from the moment you walk in the door, from the receptionist’s desk taking your details and giving you advice, to the office visit with one of our providers. We have partners where lab and radiology investigations can be done.

Because quality care takes time, we must give our best effort to stay efficient and accommodate the large number of patients in need of rheumatic disease care with a limited number of specialty providers. In order to remain efficient and make time for the large number of patients waiting for appointments, we need your help. Keeping scheduled appointments and calling as far in advance as possible to cancel or reschedule office visits will open up space for other patients who would like to have your appointment slot and eliminate any wasted space. Any effort on your part will help all of our patients.
