About North Texas Arthritis & Rheumatology

What began as a vision to provide compassionate, patient-centered care officially became a reality on June 17, 2024, when the clinic opened its doors to its very first patient. From day one, the mission was clear: to create an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout every step of their healthcare journey.

The clinic was founded by Dr. Wagler alongside Shane, with a small but dedicated team that included one nurse, Audra, an office manager, and a PRN employee. Though the team was small, their commitment to excellence, compassion, and quality care established the foundation for what the clinic would become.

At the same time the clinic opened, a valuable partnership with CPL also began, helping support the clinic’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality patient services from the very beginning.

As patient needs continued to grow, so did the clinic’s services and reach. On May 28, 2025, the clinic welcomed its very first infusion patients, marking the beginning of its partnership with BioCure and an important milestone in expanding treatment options and specialized care for the community.

In less than two years, the clinic has experienced remarkable growth. What started as a small founding team has expanded into a dedicated staff of 15 employees, all working together to uphold the clinic’s mission of compassionate, personalized, and innovative care.

Today, the clinic continues to grow not only in size, but in impact — driven by the relationships built with patients, partners, and the community it proudly serves.
