ABOUT US

Elite Rheumatology and Arthritis Center was founded by Dr. Sumalatha Nandikonda with the mission to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and expert rheumatological care to patients across Orlando and the Central Florida area. Our focus is on treating a wide range of autoimmune, musculoskeletal, and other complex rheumatologic conditions.
At our clinic, we believe that great care begins with listening. We take the time to understand your story—thoroughly reviewing past medical records, performing detailed physical examinations, and ordering new diagnostic tests only when necessary. We carefully analyze all available data and clearly explain your test results to help you fully understand your condition. Our goal is to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Dr. Nandikonda understands how stressful and confusing ambiguous test results can be. Equally overwhelming is the decision-making process—whether to pursue treatment, and if so, which option to choose. At Elite Rheumatology and Arthritis Center, we prioritize patient education. We take the time to clearly explain all available treatment options, outline their benefits and potential risks, and support you in making informed choices tailored to your unique health needs.”
We are committed to improving your quality of life—not just extending it. We strive to provide timely responses, schedule urgent or sick visits within 1–2 days, and offer new patient appointments typically within a week. For added convenience, we also provide telemedicine services, in-house lab draws, and IV infusion therapy.
At Elite Rheumatology and Arthritis Center, every patient is seen by Dr. Nandikonda personally. You will never be just a chart or a number. Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore your mobility, and support your overall well-being through thoughtful, individualized care.
