Treating joint pain, autoimmune disease, and complex internal medicine cases - right here in Gandhidham, no travel to Ahmedabad or Rajkot required.
A Rheumatologist in Kutch Trained Across Multiple Specialties
For patients across the Kutch district, finding a qualified rheumatologist in Kutch has long meant a trip to Ahmedabad or Rajkot. Dr. Devansh J. Khandol changes that. Practising full-time at Swasthya Hospital in Gandhidham, he is currently the only specialist of his kind serving the entire region.
Dr. Khandol completed his MBBS at GCS Medical College, Ahmedabad, followed by an MD in General Medicine from Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Pune. Over five-plus years of practice, including critical-care work at a 2,200-bed tertiary hospital, he built a reputation for untangling multi-system cases. His rheumatology observership under Dr. Sapan Pandya, Head of Rheumatology at SVP Hospital, Ahmedabad, directly shapes how he manages autoimmune and joint disorders today.
