Dr. Mark Lopatin is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and Subspecialty of Rheumatology.  His philosophy towards patient care:  “Taking care of patients is a privilege. I view myself as a teacher. It is my responsibility to educate and communicate with a patient in such a way that we can make decisions about his/her health care together. We must combine my knowledge of medicine with the patient’s knowledge of himself/herself in combination to make appropriate decisions regarding their health care.”
