RheumatologyAbout Heinrich-Karl (Karl) Greenblatt
Karl Greenblatt, MD, a Massachusetts native, earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Cincinnati, Ohio. He completed an Internal Medicine residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado, followed by a Rheumatology fellowship at the Brown University/Roger Williams Medical Center program in Providence, Rhode Island.
Dr. Greenblatt was drawn to rheumatology because it uniquely blends the science and the art of medicine. The field is fortunate to offer new and targeted therapies that can alleviate pain and dramatically improve quality of life, yet a rheumatologist still must navigate uncertainty and embrace a patient’s individuality.
His goal is to provide patients with an understanding of their conditions, empower them to take an active role in their care, and help restore function and happiness. He feels that teamwork is key to achieving this goal.
When caring for his patients, Dr. Greenblatt’s standard is to provide the sharpest diagnostic skills, knowledge of common and uncommon signs of rheumatic illness, and a strong understanding of evidence-based treatment. Even while striving for greatness, he hopes to bring a sense of humility and respect for the unknown.
When not at work, he enjoys playing guitar and loves watching the Red Sox.
