As a board-certified pediatric rheumatologist, I help children and teens who have inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, lupus, dermatomyositis, periodic fever syndromes, scleroderma, and vasculitis. I was drawn to the field because I saw there was a great need to better understand how to manage and treat these diseases, to help kids grow up normally despite having a rheumatic disease. Throughout my career, I have been involved in research to improve our understanding of disease processes, evaluate treatments, and improve our ability to assess and manage the diseases. Because these diseases are rare, I have collaborated with other physicians nationally and internationally to study and foster research in these diseases, including serving for 6 years as chair of the Rare Diseases committee of CARRA, the North American pediatric rheumatology network. I have a special interest and expertise in scleroderma and other diseases associated with skin hardening. My research in this area, with national and international collaborations, has helped to make Hackensack University Medical Center a pediatric scleroderma center of excellence.

Philosophy of Care

I believe the best care is a partnership between the child or teen, family, and health care team. I want the child/teen and family to understand their illness, its potential issues, and treatment options, so we can work together to optimize care. I am fortunate to work with many superb people in a children’s hospital, so that along with my fellow pediatric rheumatologists, our nurses and support staff, we can collaborate with other pediatric subspecialists and providers to improve the management and long-term outcome for our patients and their families.

Yes, with Dr. Suzanne Li she's really patient with her, you know, patients and she's never in a rush. She takes her time to talk and, you know, examine and explain the things that are happening to the patient. And that is one thing that I've come to really appreciate about Suzanne, Dr. Suzanne Li, because she really takes her time. She's never in a rush. And to me, she gives the best advice and you know, so far my son is doing very well and I'm very pleased with her services. Thank you.

Dr. Li is very professional, kind, and compassionate. I can't stress enough how happy we are to have found her.

Hi, yes, my son has to have an ultrasound. And when we go to the ultrasound, it's always backed up. There's only one there, there's other children in the area there getting ultrasounds. We have a schedule that we've scheduled for a time and it never is on time. There's always somebody else ahead of us, which happens, but I just can't understand in that big hospital that there's only one ultrasound for that area or for Dr. Li's patients. That's my biggest bad thing at the hospital is that, just waiting. It takes a long time, so you're waiting, and then the ultrasound takes a long time, too. So that's it. Thank you. Bye.

Hi, we thought the doctor was amazing, very thorough, very nice. He was definitely.

The staff was very attentive and Dr. Li was the best. Excellent services and attention. I recommend her.
