Concierge Care at Pacific Rheumatology Associates!

As of December 2, 2024, Drs. Ishita Aggarwal and Molly Magnano are practicing in a concierge, or membership-based model. With a limited practice size, concierge rheumatology care allows for more time and attention to be devoted to each individual patient.

Drs. Ruiz and Birnbaum maintain a traditional fee-for-service rheumatology practice.
