Biography
Dr. Nirav Nagarsheth is a dedicated rheumatologist who specializes in the comprehensive treatment of a wide range of rheumatic diseases. With expertise in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, osteoporosis, vasculitis, and scleroderma, Dr. Nagarsheth offers patients a wealth of knowledge and experience.
In addition to his expertise in medical management, Dr. Nagarsheth is skilled in performing ultrasound-based joint injections. This advanced technique allows for precise and targeted delivery of medications to alleviate pain and inflammation, promoting improved joint function and mobility.
Dr. Nagarsheth earned his undergraduate degree in molecular biology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He then earned his Doctor of Medicine from Saint James School of Medicine. He completed his residency in internal medicine and went on to specialize in rheumatology through a fellowship at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
At IBJI, Dr. Nagarsheth offers holistic musculoskeletal care, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Armed with state-of-the-art imaging techniques and a wide range of therapeutic options, he provides personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs.
In his spare time, Dr. Nagarsheth enjoys staying active with outdoor activities, cooking healthy dishes, and spending quality time with his family. He firmly believes in the importance of leading a balanced lifestyle and often encourages his patients to prioritize their own overall well-being.
Dr. Nagarsheth’s dedication, expertise, and patient-centered approach make him a trusted and respected rheumatologist. His focus on improving functionality and enhancing quality of life continues to make a positive impact in the lives of his patients, helping them manage their conditions and achieve optimal musculoskeletal health.
No single test can singularly diagnose the complex array of rheumatic diseases. Instead, I believe in a comprehensive approach. This method involves a thorough evaluation that includes a patient's medical history, physical examination, and analysis of lab and imaging findings. These are the pieces of objective evidence necessary to identify and understand rheumatic conditions. By combining evidence-based medicine, the latest advancements in rheumatology, and a holistic perspective, I strive to provide comprehensive care that not only addresses the physical aspects of the disease but also promotes overall well-being."
