Do immunologists treat autoimmune disease like scleroderma?
19 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Rheumatoogists would treat scleroderma. In houston, the immunologists do not tend to treat disease but do more research. Allergists/immunologists will typically not treat scleroderma and will refer to rheumatologists.

No: Scleroderma is best treated by a rheumatologist. Other subspecialists such as a gastroenterologist may need to be called in to manage complications of scleroderma such difficulty swallowing.
