Here at Catalina Pointe we take the health and safety of our patients and staff very seriously. The patients we care for have compromised immune systems and we need to keep them healthy.  Due to the current pandemic we are taking the following precautions:

  • Requiring patients and caregivers to wear masks while in our clinic
  • Requiring staff to wear masks while in contact with patients
  • Offering telemedicine appointments for those who are unable to wear masks or uncomfortable coming into our clinic
  • Limiting traffic into our clinic by asking patients to only bring someone with them if the patient is a minor or they need a caregiver
  • Disinfecting and sanitizing the office thoroughly and regularly
  • Enabling social distancing as much as possible for everyone
  • Providing a hand sanitizer station for patient use while in our clinic

We thank you for helping us keep everyone safe during this time!

Welcome to Catalina Pointe

Catalina Pointe Arthritis and Rheumatology clinic opened July 5, 2005. We are located at 7520 N Oracle Rd, Ste 100 just north of Ina Rd, south of Suffolk. The practicing rheumatologists of the clinic are: Drs. Laurie Bergstrom, Michael Maricic, Deborah Jane Power, Berchman Austin Vaz, Alpana Dhar, Ruta Tesfamicael, and Dominick Sudano. They are all board certified in both Internal Medicine & Rheumatology. Together, they have years of experience in caring for patients with rheumatic disorders and have been recognized for their excellence in patient care, medical education, and research. The physicians work in conjunction with nurse practitioner, Li-Ting Sudano, and physician assistant Sandra Jansen.

The mission at Catalina Pointe "is to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic disorders combined with personal and compassionate care." We have the capability of providing on-site infusion therapy in a comfortable setting for patients requiring infusions for rheumatic disorders. We utilize the latest technology for measuring bone density (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry or DXA) here in our office. We also have in-office lab drawing so that our patients do not have to go to another site to have their labs done.

We welcome the opportunity to take care of your rheumatic problems. Most insurances are accepted.
