He enjoys all aspects of rheumatology but has a special interest in lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia.
Vanguard Rheumatology Partners is a single-specialty practice dedicated to arthritis, soft tissue rheumatic disorders, systemic autoimmune diseases, and osteoporosis. Serving the Mount Sinai community since 2004, the staff offer a host of comprehensive services, both in the outpatient and inpatient setting.
As a practitioner, Dr. Alemany listens to his patients, respecting their opinions when making decisions and delivering personalized care. He also serves as an attending rheumatologist in the Division of Arthritis and Rheumatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, where he also teaches medical students and residents. It is the largest independent non-profit hospital in South Florida with a mission “to provide high quality health care to our diverse community enhanced through teaching, research, charity care, and financial responsibility.”
Born in Santiago, Cuba, Dr. Alemany earned his medical degree from Escuela Autonoma de Ciencias Médicas de Centro America in Costa Rica.
