About Us

Lakeshore Rheumatology is a privately owned medical clinic. We thank the Winter Garden and greater Orlando residents for welcoming us into the community since January 2022.

We do require a referral from another Physician prior to being seen, regardless of your insurance plan, as we value our colleagues’ medical opinions and assessments.
