Pediatric rheumatologist Dr. Pamela Weiss speaks with Michael and his 12 year old daughter Ava about navigating the challenge of living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis together as a family.
Join moderator Kaleigh Welch as she discusses the challenges of living with psoriasis and juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) from diagnosis, misconceptions about psoriatic disease, to management and treatment with pediatric rheumatologist, Dr. Pamela Weiss from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Division of Rheumatology, along with Michael and Ava, whose psoriatic disease is truly a family affair.
