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 accept most commercial insurances, as well as Medicare. We do not accept Medicaid, Tricare, Cigna Medicare products (including Cigna Medicare Supplemental Plans and Cigna Medicare Advantage Plans), Worker's Compensation, or Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance. Beginning 10/1/2023, we will begin transitioning to a hybrid direct specialty care model. Please see the Direct Care FAQ page for further information about this transition and what it means. 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 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 Internal Medicine residents from Nazareth Hospital, as well as 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.
