Brendan Cerk MD is a rheumatologist who chose his field after growing up watching his mother suffer from the debilitating impact of rheumatoid arthritis. He completed his fellowship training in rheumatology at LA County USC medical Center, where he gained experience treating patients with the most severe and complex rheumatologic conditions. Dr. Cerk believes that the smallest detail may be the key to making the correct diagnosis, so he takes time to listen to everything his patients tell him and gets to know them so he can make them feel better.
