Rheumatology Associates of Oklahoma (RAO) was founded by Latisha Heinlen, M.D. in July 2017, after completing her 2-year fellowship training in Rheumatology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Dr. Heinlen and her team of specialists focus on treatment of rheumatic diseases using an in-house laboratory, on-site x-ray services and an infusion center located within the clinic for patient convenience.
Dr. Heinlen and her three physician partners – Dr. Heidi Rogers, Dr. Amanda Titus and Dr. John Goetzinger – provide rheumatological care at four convenient metro locations including Nichols Hills, south Oklahoma City, Edmond and the newest location in Yukon. Their common goal is to improve the health and well-being of Oklahomans by providing early access to state-of-the-art treatments set forth by a national standard, with a unique and compassionate focus on patient convenience and encompassing care.
“There is a large need for rheumatologists in the Oklahoma City metro area and outlying communities within our state,” Dr. Heinlen said. “We know that early diagnosis and treatment of our diseases leads to better outcomes, so improving access to rheumatology provides better long-term treatment for patients. I wanted to have a place where all patient needs could be met.”
Board certification is the standard for all physicians at RAO. Dr. Heinlen says, “If you need to see a specialist, make sure they are an expert in the field with the proper training and certification. In the end, we want what’s best for patients.”
