Sandhivata Upchar(संधिवात उपचार) In Nashik

  • Dr. Praveen Jadhav is  Famous for the Sandhivata Upchar(संधिवात उपचार) In Nashik trained as a physician at the prestigious Seth G.S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital in Mumbai. Thereafter he was trained in Cardiology at Bombay Hospital in Mumbai. There he learned techniques of Echocardiography, Coronary Angiography, and Angioplasty.
  • Thereafter he went to Harvard Medical School in Boston and Oklahoma University, USA, where he held multiple assignments in Cardiology. One of the highlights of this stint was getting involved in world-class research and presenting and publishing papers in international meetings and journals. He returned to Nashik in 1996 and set up his practice. Thereafter he established Omkar Hospital in 2004.
  • Omkar Heart Institute and Nursing Home were established by Dr. Praveen Jadhav and Dr. Meera Jadhav in 2004 with the aim of providing comprehensive Medical, Surgical and Cardiac care to the people from Nashik district and neighboring areas. Very soon it becomes an important referral/reference center in Nashik district and surrounding areas.
  • In 2008, Dr. Jadhav went to Shepparton Base and Alfred Hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. There he learned the latest methods and techniques in treating Rheumatological conditions. After spending significant time in imbibing these skills, he realized that this knowledge was required in the area where he was practicing earlier. Hence, on returning back, he established the Omkar Rheumatology Clinic, concentrating on providing rheumatologic care in the Nashik area. Due to the presence of a large number of deprived patients and a dearth of Rheumatological care, Omkar Rheumatology Clinic became well known in a short time.
  • Not only has it been a boon for patients in and around Nashik, but it is also providing Rheumatological care for neighboring districts such as Dhule, Nandurbar, Jalgaon, and Ahmednagar. Soon satellite centers were established at Dr. Zadbuke’s Shivpushpa Hospital in Dhule. Apart from providing world-class rheumatology care, Omkar Rheumatology Clinic is also associated in research with the aim of establishing newer and better treatments for Rheumatological diseases.
  • We are involved in international studies and companies in evaluating the latest drugs and medicines in arthritis. Glenmark, Quintiles, Paraxel, Pfizer, and Intas are few of the companies which are associated with Omkar Rheumatology Clinic in conducting international trials. As is obvious from the patient testimonials, thousands of patients are satisfied with the services that they avail at Omkar Hospital.
  • Dr. Meera Jadhav, the other director of Omkar Healthcare is a qualified surgeon trained at the prestigious K.E.M. and Sion Hospitals in Mumbai. She has been practicing since 1996 in the area. She also learned about the state of art skills in various surgeries when she spent a few years as an observer at the Deaconess Hospital in Boston. Being one of the very few women surgeons in Nashik, she has many female patients who present with diverse medical conditions. Her areas of interest include perianal surgeries and day care surgeries.
  • With the view of providing comprehensive care under one roof, Dr. Jadhav established the facility of Omkar Diagnostics around the same time. Various facilities such as pathological laboratory, X-ray, DEXA Scan, Echocardiography machine, etc. were added to all the existing specialized diagnostic medical equipment in Omkar Hospital. Due to background knowledge of attending doctors in the fields of Medicine, Surgery, Cardiology, and Rheumatology, Omkar Diagnostics became a one-stop-shop for all diagnostic needs.
  • Patients seeking consultation and treatment for Rheumatological, Cardiac and Surgical conditions find it very convenient to get all the facilities under one roof. Not only has it become popular in evaluation of cardiac, rheumatology and surgical ailments, but also become a popular center for evaluation of the health of people for insurance purposes. Currently, LIC, HDFC, ICICI, and others are associated with Omkar Diagnostics in evaluating their insured patients. It is quite obvious that through honesty, accuracy in testing, regular quality checks, latest equipment, and regular updates are responsible for patients, drug companies and insurance companies reposing their faith in Omkar Diagnostics.
