About Dr. Hiren Kalyani

Consultant Rheumatologist

I am, a Rheumatologist, dedicated to diagnosing and treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that affect the joints, muscles, and connective tissues.
After completing my super-specialty training in Clinical Immunology & Rheumatology from Delhi, I returned to Gujarat with a clear vision — to serve the very communities I come from. During my years in Delhi, I witnessed how early diagnosis and specialized treatment can transform lives. But I also realized that such care is often out of reach for people in smaller cities and towns. My goal is to decentralize rheumatology care across Charotar and making it accessible, affordable, and available to everyone — not just in big cities. No patient should suffer silently due to arthritis or autoimmune conditions simply because care is far away.
At IRIS Hospital, I aim to combine clinical expertise with empathy and guide every patient toward a life with less pain and more movement..
