Services
Infusion Services
Our IDYLLIC Infusion Centers deliver biologic medications for autoimmune diseases through intravenous administration. This method bypasses digestive system limitations, enabling precise dosing for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. With six locations across New Jersey, our outpatient facilities offer hospital-level care at reduced costs, featuring reclining chairs, entertainment options, and experienced nursing staff monitoring vital signs throughout 30-minute to multi-hour sessions.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
High-frequency sound wave technology visualizes joint structures and soft tissues in real time. Our RhMSUS-certified specialists detect inflammation and structural damage earlier than traditional imaging methods. The non-invasive procedure guides treatment decisions for arthritis and connective tissue diseases while avoiding radiation exposure. Results inform immediate care planning with direct access to interpreting rheumatologists.
Therapeutic Injections
Targeted corticosteroid and viscosupplementation injections reduce inflammation and restore joint function. Using ultrasound guidance for precision, treatments address knee osteoarthritis, shoulder impingement, and other localized pain sources. Procedures take 10-15 minutes with immediate post-treatment activity resumption, offering six-to-twelve-month symptom relief when combined with comprehensive disease management strategies.
Arthritis Management
Comprehensive treatment programs address over 100 arthritis variants including rheumatoid, psoriatic, and osteoarthritis. Our approach combines medication management, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapies to control immune system dysfunction. Regular monitoring prevents joint destruction while preserving mobility through personalized treatment plans developed during detailed initial consultations with board-certified specialists.
Osteoporosis Treatment
Specialized care for bone density loss includes Reclast, Prolia, and Evenity administration through infusion therapy. Our protocols focus on fracture prevention through calcium metabolism regulation and bone remodeling stimulation. Patients receive comprehensive risk assessments combined with biologic treatments that strengthen skeletal structures while managing associated musculoskeletal pain.

Dr. Schuster was incredible. he spent close to am hour with me listening intently, asking questions and actually discussing my condition. He was kind, empathetic, smart and so easy to talk to. I was also blown away when he called me directly the next morning with additional thoughts after researching possible causes for my issues. I would strongly recommend Dr. Schuster. and the full team and office staff was wonderful as well.
