Referrals

Dr. Larissa Jones is accepting referrals for the following:

 

​

• Suspected or early inflammatory arthritis, including but not limited to: 

  • Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and enteropathic (IBD-associated) arthritis
     

• Suspected or early connective tissue diseases, including but not limited to:

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, Sjögren’s syndrome, and mixed connective tissue disease
     

• Established rheumatological disease requiring transfer of care due to physician retirement or relocation
   

• Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or auto-inflammatory disorders requiring transition to Adult Rheumatology care
   

• Suspected vasculitis, giant cell arteritis (GCA), or polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)
   

• Crystal arthritis, including CPPD and gout
   

• Systemic disease with arthritis manifestations, including but not limited to sarcoidosis or infection-related arthritis

​

​

Unfortunately, it is beyond our scope of practice to see patients primarily for chronic pain or mechanical back pain without an underlying systemic rheumatic disease.  Please redirect these referrals to a pain specialist. 

Similarly, we do not generally see patients specifically for hypermobility or hereditary connective tissue diseases, unless it is to rule out a concurrent or mimicing systemic rheumatic disease - these referrals are better served by Medical Genetics.

Fax all referrals to 780-426-7291

​

Currently, referrals cannot be accepted via Connect Care.
 

For accurate triaging, referrals must include a clear clinical question, patient contact information, 
past medical & surgical history, allergies and current medication list.
