About Us
WE HAVE VERY FEW RHEUMATOLOGISTS IN INDIA
India has very few Rheumatologists compared to western countries - this website will try to make a rheumatology opinion more accessible
RHEUMATOLOGISTS ARE PHYSICIANS OF ARTHRITIS
It's better to show a rheumatologist for arthritis as they are specialised in diagnosing and treating various types of arthritis. Look out on this webpage for various types of arthritis.
EVEN YOUNG PEOPLE CAN HAVE ARTHRITIS
Arthritis can occur in very small kids to very elderly people. Rheumatologists specialise in diagnosing arthritis in childhood or young age.
ALL JOINT PAIN IS NOT ARTHRITIS
The term arthritis is used only for particular types of joint pain, look out for descriptions on this page
SIMPLIFYING THE ARTHRITIS JARGON
Rheumatology is often a misunderstood field in India and patients suffer due to lack of knowledge and resultant inability of informed decision making. It's almost impossible for busy rheumatologists in clinics to counsel patients about these diseases, their complex & at times expensive treatments, leading to a high degree of patient mistrust, fallout and suffering. With this webpage we will try to raise awareness, simplify rheumatism and try to instil patient confidence in their treatment.
