My journey in rheumatology has been enriched by the invaluable mentorship of renowned rheumatologist, Dr. Milind Aurangabadkar, during my 3-year stint in nagpur. Working closely with him, I honed my skills in diagnosing and treating rheumatic diseases, laying the foundation for a patient-centric practice that prioritizes education, compassion, and ethical care.

Rheumatology is a subspecialty of medicine which deals with diagnosis and treatment of diseases of bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue.
Rheumatological disorders range from chronically disabling arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis to multisystem diseases like vasculitis to milder but nagging and persistent pains like chronic back pain & neck pain.
A board-certified internist or pediatrician with a focus on the diagnosis and care of conditions affecting the bones, muscles, and joints, such as arthritis, is known as a rheumatologist.
Joint disorders that can be treated medically ( i.e without surgery ) are treated by a rheumatologist. Orthopedic surgeons specialize in surgical treatments and in the management of fractures.
Orthopedic surgeons as the name indicates are surgeons and not physicians. They are trained in carrying out surgical procedures on bones like fixing a broken bone( Or fracture ) or carrying out joint replacement surgeries, repairing a ligament or a cartilage tear. If you require joint replacement surgery or the repair of damaged joint structures, your rheumatologist may recommend you to an orthopaedic surgeon. But remember a rheumatologist may also help prevent many unnecessary joint replacement surgeries and help explore non-surgical treatment options for certain conditions. Diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoporosis are to be treated with medicines and not surgery, hence one should consult a rheumatologist for these conditions and not an orthopedic surgeon.
