Sean Shannon, MD, a board-certified rheumatologist, has recently joined Baton Rouge General and is seeing patients at a new clinic at the hospital’s Bluebonnet campus.
Baton Rouge General Rheumatology diagnoses and treats a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, from lupus and rheumatoid arthritis to gout and scleroderma. Inflammatory, or rheumatic, conditions can affect the joints, muscles, and bones, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and potentially deformities.
The new rheumatology clinic will share a space with dermatologists from Baton Rouge General Dermatology.
Shannon received a medical degree from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, then completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in rheumatology at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
BRG Rheumatology is located at 8585 Picardy Ave., Suite 512.
