ATLANTA, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Articularis Rheumatology Specialists of Atlanta (ARS Atlanta) is pleased to welcome Douglas White, MD, PhD to its distinguished team of physicians at its Sandy Springs location. With an extensive background in clinical care, academic research, and leadership in the field of rheumatology, Dr. White brings a wealth of experience to support patients in Sandy Springs and the surrounding Atlanta metro communities.

Dr. White joins Dr. Nandini Setia, who together with their clinical team offer a full spectrum of diagnostic and treatment services for patients managing autoimmune, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, and osteoporosis. Located in the heart of Sandy Springs, the practice serves patients throughout North Atlanta, including Dunwoody, Roswell, and East Cobb.

"We're honored to have Dr. White join the Articularis team," said Dr. Gregory Niemer, board-certified rheumatologist and Articularis Healthcare Group co-founder. "His deep expertise, patient-first philosophy, and commitment to advancing rheumatologic care make him an incredible addition to the Sandy Springs practice and to the Atlanta community."

Prior to joining ARS Atlanta, Dr. White served as Chair of Rheumatology at Gundersen Health System in Wisconsin for 15 years, where he led its rheumatology research lab and held adjunct faculty roles at the University of Wisconsin. His academic work has been widely published in prestigious journals such as "Nature" and "Arthritis & Rheumatology." Dr. White has also served in national leadership roles with the American College of Rheumatology, including president, treasurer, and chair of the committee on rheumatologic care.

"I'm excited to continue my journey in rheumatology with Articularis in Atlanta," said Dr. White. "This community values personalized, high-quality care, and I'm proud to be part of a team that puts patients first every day."
