Best Rheumatologist in Pune- Dr. Laxmi Waprani

With a passion for patient education, Dr. Laxmi Waprani has been practicing rheumatology in Pune, since 2016, specializing in the treatment of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, osteoarthritis, SLE etc. Prior to immersing in the world of rheumatology, Dr. Laxmi did her Masters in Medicine and gained valuable experience in cardiology and critical care.
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.

Rajan Gengaje2024-04-16Dr. Waprani’s treatment worked like magic for me. I had a week old gout with a swollen knee and was challenged to almost cancel my upcoming travel. Dr. Waprani advised not to cancel my travel as with one day’s dose prescribed by her my pain was gone and I felt tremendous relief. In fact, I could sqat folded legs on the floor for 6 hours for performing a Pooja Vidhi. Rajan Gengaje, Bhugaon, Pune.Subrao Chothave2024-04-06It is a very good hospital.
