A member asked:
How often should a child with jra/jia see her rheumatologist?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: If there is active disease and medication doses are being adjusted, it may need to be as frequent as every 2-4 weeks. If things are stable, visits can often be spaced out to every few months.

Follow-up visits: In general, every 3 months is a good schedule to follow. If the disease is active, than more frequent visits would be better and if the disease is inactive, than less frequent visits may be indicated. Also, a lot of follow-up care can be provided, by phone, email, and telemedicine
