About Dr. Anthony Reginato, MD
Updated Sep 20, 2026Dr. Anthony M. Reginato, MD, PhD, is a rheumatologist who practices in the Providence, Rhode Island area. He went to medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Class of 1994), did his internal medicine residency at Yale-New Haven Medical Center, and completed a rheumatology fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital / Mass General Brigham. He is affiliated with Rhode Island Hospital, The Miriam Hospital, and the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Along with seeing patients, he holds leadership roles. Brown Medicine lists him as Director of the Division of Rheumatology, and his LinkedIn profile lists him as Chief of the Division of Rheumatology at the Providence VA Medical Center. He directs the basic science research program in Brown's rheumatology division and has led the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound teaching in Brown's rheumatology fellowship, which was one of the first programs in the country to add ultrasound to its curriculum.
He is active in research and writing. His ResearchGate profile lists 146 publications with 8,298 citations. He co-authored the Pan-American League of Associations for Rheumatology (PANLAR) recommendations for musculoskeletal ultrasound training for rheumatologists, and took part in an international consensus project on gout terminology published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. Healthgrades data indicates he treats gout much more often, and chondrocalcinosis more often, than similar providers.

Worth knowing
- The research did not find a primary source page confirming current board certification. A colleague's LinkedIn post names him among Brown rheumatology team members who passed American Board of Internal Medicine rheumatology certification or recertification, but this is a third-party mention rather than an official record. linkedin.com
- The research did not include a direct Rhode Island license lookup or a court-record search, so licensing status and any legal history were not verified in this review. brownhealth.org

A word of caution about these numbers
A payment does not mean your doctor is compromised or acting unethically. Most of these entries are drug samples left for patients, or lunch brought in for the office staff, and the amounts are usually small. Research funding and speaking at medical meetings are also normal parts of a clinical career.
As a rough guide, a total under $15,000 a year is usually not a concern. Much larger sums, especially from one company whose product your doctor recommends to you, are worth asking about. You are allowed to ask.
