Dr. Teresa Tarrant
Overview
I first became interested in pursuing a career in medicine after being a camp counselor for children with autoimmune type I diabetes when I was in college. I wanted to learn more about and care for patients who had autoimmune diseases and immune dysregulation, which is what led to my dual training in both rheumatology and allergy immunology. My clinical practice, where I teach medical students, residents and rheumatology and allergy/immunology fellows, reflects this comprehensive immunologic approach. Diseases in which I have particular expertise include rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, autoimmune inflammatory eye disease and common variable immune deficiency (CVID). I have several family members who also have autoimmune diseases and I have learned that care can be long term and involve a team approach. As a result, patient-centered care has become a personal goal.
Her top areas of expertise are Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Paget's Disease of Bone, and Sjogren Syndrome.
Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 50 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
