Practice Philosophy
We specialize in the treatment of a variety of autoimmune and arthritic conditions with the use of medications and non-medication modalities. We are able to perform joint aspirations and injections as needed for diagnosis and treatment. We also offer infusion (IV) therapy and injection therapy for certain conditions.
As we are a non-surgical specialty, we do not perform surgeries, such as joint replacements. We do not prescribe opioids, narcotics, or controlled substances, as this is beyond the scope of our practice.
We currently only accept traditional Medicare and most Medicare supplement plans. If you have a commercial insurance or Medicare Advantage policy, you will be subject to our direct care fees, which are due at the time of service. Please see the Direct Care FAQ page for further information. If you have any questions, please call the office at 267-483-8094.
Dr. McCollum limits her practice of Rheumatology to the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune types of arthritis, connective tissue diseases, and metabolic bone diseases. Dr. McCollum provides one-time consultations for primary fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or chronic low back pain, in which she will make recommendations for your treatment that you can provide to your current treating providers.
Dr. McCollum is a licensed Osteopathic Physician Acupuncturist in Pennsylvania. She is able to provide acupuncture treatments for a variety of rheumatologic and non-rheumatologic conditions. You do not need to be an established Rheumatology patient of Dr. McCollum's to receive acupuncture treatments at our practice.
Dr. McCollum does not perform disability determinations or complete disability forms. Our office will be happy to provide your medical records (with a signed records release) to any agency requesting these records in support of a disability claim.
Dr. McCollum is on staff at Holy Redeemer Hospital.
Beginning July 1, 2022, we will be hosting fourth year medical students from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Please let us know if you do not feel comfortable having them participate in your care.
