The right diagnosis changes everything. A specialist assessment that identifies exactly what's driving your joint pain — and treats that, not just the symptom.
Dr. Ashish Jindal is a Consultant Rheumatologist and Faculty at AIMS Mohali, trained at PGIMER Chandigarh. He holds fellowship recognition from the American College of Rheumatology (FACR) and EULAR certification in rheumatology.
Rheumatic and autoimmune conditions are often subtle, overlapping and slow to reveal themselves. His focus is on reaching a precise diagnosis, building a treatment plan around it, and staying with each patient through the long course these conditions can take. Alongside clinical practice, he teaches and mentors the next generation of physicians.
Clear, in-depth discussions on arthritis, lupus and inflammatory conditions — what the symptoms mean, how treatment really works, and how to live fully alongside a long-term diagnosis.
Rheumatic disease often starts quietly. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having them properly assessed.
Swollen, tender joints — often the hands, wrists and feet on both sides — with stiffness that is worst in the morning or after rest and eases as the day goes on.
Persistent lower-back and hip pain in younger adults that improves with movement and worsens with rest, sometimes with heel pain or swollen fingers and toes.
Sudden attacks of intense pain, redness and heat in a joint — classically the big toe — that often begin at night and settle over days.
Wear-related pain in the knees, hips or hands, and stubborn tendon or shoulder pain. Managed with a practical plan and ultrasound-guided injections where they help.
Unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, hair loss or aching joints affecting several parts of the body at once — worth assessing when symptoms don't add up.
Joint pain, swelling or stiffness in someone with psoriasis — sometimes a whole finger or toe swells, along with nail changes or heel pain.

A few words from people cared for at the clinic. You can read many more, and add your own, on Google.
For 2–3 years I had severe back pain, told it was a disc problem, with no real relief. Dr. Jindal gave the correct diagnosis — Ankylosing Spondylitis — and after the right treatment I feel almost normal. It honestly feels like I've got a new life.
Extremely kind and calm, he listens and explains everything simply. What I appreciate most is how closely he monitors his patients and genuinely cares about their progress. One of the best rheumatologists in the Tricity.
I've lived in the UK for 21 years and had joint pain for over a decade. Dr. Jindal listened despite a busy list and started me on the right medication — I feel so much better that some days I don't take any painkillers at all. A gem of a doctor.
