A quiet moment in the clinic.

Much of a physician’s work happens in moments like this — reviewing notes, thinking through a diagnosis, and planning the next step in a patient’s care.

Good medicine takes time, attention, and careful thought.

📣 Teacher Allergy Injection Time Update

Our special teacher allergy injection time will now be on Tuesday mornings at 7:45 AM.

This early appointment time is reserved for our teacher patients so they can receive their allergy injection and still make it back to school on time.

We appreciate all the work teachers do for our community and are glad we can offer this option to help make their mornings a little easier.

Why are they all sitting there so seriously with flamingos? 🦩

Ann and Jodie recently recorded another Ask Ann & Jodie episode, and Scott joined them to talk briefly about rheumatoid arthritis and infusion therapy.

Scott is our infusion nurse and helps care for patients receiving biologic infusions in our office.

We’ll share the episode when it’s ready.

(And yes… the flamingos insisted on being part of the recording.)

RA or OA – Different Arthritis, Different Treatment
By Yong H. Tsai, MD

“Doctor, it’s just arthritis… right?”

That’s a question we hear often.

But not all arthritis is the same.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is commonly related to wear and tear over time. The cartilage in a joint gradually thins. You may notice brief morning stiffness, pain with movement, joint “cracking,” or bony enlargement in the fingers or knees.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are very different.

They are autoimmune diseases.

Instead of simple wear and tear, the immune system mistakenly attacks joint tissue, causing inflammation. Over time, that inflammation can damage cartilage, bone, and ligaments. Morning stiffness may last more than an hour. Swelling can affect joints symmetrically. Psoriatic arthritis may even cause fingers or toes to swell in a sausage-like pattern.

The most important difference?

Treatment is not the same.

Osteoarthritis often focuses on pain control and function.

Autoimmune arthritis requires early detection and appropriate treatment to control inflammation and prevent deformity.

Arthritis is not one disease.
Understanding the difference matters.

Have you ever wondered which type of arthritis you have?

Happy Friday from Philly! 🐾

Philly belongs to our infusion nurse Scott, and we think he might be the unofficial mascot of the office.

Those eyes say it all.

It’s Bike Week here in Daytona, so whether you’re riding, visiting, or just enjoying the energy in town — stay safe and have a great weekend!

A patient recently shared this message with us:

“From my first call with Dana,
to being greeted by Ann at the front desk,
to Ashlyn helping me with the electronic thingy,
to the amazing Nurse Practitioner Aimee who actually listened and didn’t make me feel like I was a burden…

The lady with hearts wished me a wonderful Valentine’s Day,
and Karen called me so quickly to schedule my CRYO.

This office has been amazing.”

Great care is never just one person.
It takes a team.

We’re grateful for every member of this group who shows up every day to care for our patients.

Learning never stops — especially in medicine.

This weekend Dr. Tsai was in Philadelphia for the AAAAI Annual Meeting, connecting with colleagues and learning about the latest updates in allergy, asthma, and immunology.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this — and even more grateful for the community we serve.

March is Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month.

Autoimmune arthritis is different from wear-and-tear arthritis.

It happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.

It can affect the whole body — not just the joints.

And it doesn’t always “look” visible.

Awareness matters. Early diagnosis matters.

If you or someone you love is living with autoimmune disease, you are not alone.

Why Can’t My Doctor Just Prescribe What I Ask For?

Many patients are surprised to learn that doctors don’t always control:

• Which medications are approved
• How much the pharmacy releases
• When treatment can begin

Insurance plans set rules such as:

• Step therapy (“try this first”)
• Quantity limits
• Prior authorizations
• Formulary restrictions

Even when your provider sends a prescription, the final approval — and the amount dispensed — are determined by your insurance plan and pharmacy system.

When delays or limits occur, our team works behind the scenes to submit authorizations, provide documentation, and file appeals when necessary.

Healthcare can be complex. Please know we advocate for you every day within the regulations that govern the system.
