Rheumatology
Patients with autoimmune rheumatic disorders are treated in the Rheumatology Department, which is a superspecialty department. Patients with rheumatic disorders have misdirected immune systems that, rather than protecting them, cause harm to one or more organs, including joints. Due to a lack of widespread knowledge, these patients are frequently misdiagnosed or detected late. Parvathy Hospital is a hospital specialized in rheumatology. We have a team of experienced and qualified specialists who are dedicated to providing the best possible care for you.
What does a
Rheumatologist do?
A rheumatologist is a doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and systemic autoimmune diseases. Rheumatologists, unlike orthopedists, do not perform surgery to treat joint disorders. Many rheumatologists also figure out what causes rheumatoid arthritis and do research to identify better treatment choices.
Outpatient clinics are where most rheumatologists work. A rheumatologist, on the other hand, is usually associated with a hospital and works with patients who are hospitalised with a rheumatic disease. For an appointment with a rheumatologist, a recommendation from a primary care physician is required, though some rheumatologists may accept visits without one.
Why Parvathy Hospital for Rheumatology?
At Parvathy Hospital, we believe in early diagnosis and cost-effective treatment using the most up-to-date protocols. We strongly believe in shared decision making, in which the patient's family and treating rheumatologist discuss and agree on a treatment regimen that is appropriate for the patient while keeping current standards in mind and balancing the patient's physical, mental, and financial circumstances.
