Dr. William Venanzi offers complete care for most types of arthritis and related joint pain, scleroderma, lupus and all other rheumatic disorders.

A board-certified rheumatologist and Fellow of the American College of Rheumatology, Dr. Venanzi brings over 25 years experience to his new practice. 

Dr. Venanzi focuses on trust and mutual understanding as keys to the best possible care — “In working with each patient, knowledge is so important. It is vital that the patient is fully informed about his or her condition and the treatment choices available, and that I completely understand every aspect of their health and lifestyle goals before recommending a course of action. From that foundation, we can build a true partnership in better health and well-being.


Dr. Venanzi is an honors graduate of Loyola College, Baltimore, Maryland, and received his medical degree at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

In addition to medical practice, he is an experienced educator, serving most recently as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.

Prior to private practice, Dr. Venanzi served with distinction in the United States Air Force, receiving numerous citations as a Flight Surgeon, with over 300 hours of combat flight time, and as a top-level physician and administrator, including service as Chief of the Medical Staff of the 88th Medical Group at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
