The Department of Rheumatologists at Patel Hospital is a specialized unit committed to delivering comprehensive care for patients with rheumatic and autoimmune disorders. Our team comprises highly skilled rheumatologists who excel in diagnosing, treating, and managing a diverse range of conditions impacting the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues. These specialists are adept at handling complex cases involving diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, osteoarthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia.

Patients visiting our rheumatology department receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. Our rheumatologists conduct thorough evaluations to accurately diagnose conditions, followed by the implementation of evidence-based interventions. These may include medication management, physical therapy, joint injections, and lifestyle adjustments aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving overall quality of life.

The department also focuses on addressing musculoskeletal disorders, joint pain, and connective tissue diseases. Conditions like osteoporosis, bursitis, tendonitis, synovitis, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Sjögren's syndrome, and dermatomyositis are managed with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach.

Advanced therapies such as biologic medications, which target specific molecules involved in autoimmune and inflammatory processes, are also utilized to control symptoms effectively. Collaborating closely with orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, our rheumatologists ensure holistic care that enhances patients' functional abilities and overall well-being.

At Patel Hospital, we prioritize patient-centered care, empowering individuals with knowledge about their conditions and supporting them through their treatment journey. Our goal is to improve outcomes, manage symptoms, and enhance the quality of life for individuals living with rheumatic and autoimmune disorders.
