My interests and expertise include diagnosing and treating many rheumatic diseases, including, but not limited to: rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory arthritis, lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, (other) connective tissue diseases, gout, pseudogout, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory muscle diseases and vasculitis. Additional interests for me include using biologic therapies to treat rheumatic diseases. I strive to provide patients with the most up-to-date education materials and treatment approaches. Injection therapies for arthritis, such as cortisone shots and viscosupplements, are tools I use regularly to reduce pain and inflammation for patients with arthritis, bursitis and tendinitis. I typically do not provide long-term care for chronic low back pain, chronic pain syndromes or fibromyalgia. These are conditions which may be better served by other specialties, including physical medicine and rehabilitation as well as pain clinics. Dr. Kent is highly rated in 13 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, Osteoporosis, and Dermatomyositis.
