About

Meet Dr. Avinash Punshi

A Karachi-based Consultant Physician and Rheumatologist dedicated to lifelong joint health and autoimmune care.

Biography

A physician's practice built on time, science and trust.

Dr. Avinash Punshi trained in Internal Medicine before dedicating his career to Rheumatology — one of the most complex and rewarding fields in modern medicine. Over 15 years, he has treated more than 12,000 patients across leading Karachi hospitals, from acute rheumatoid flares to lifelong lupus management.

His practice is grounded in a simple belief: every patient deserves a doctor who listens fully, investigates thoroughly and stays with them for the long term. That philosophy runs through every appointment, whether it is a first consultation or a five-year follow-up.

He consults across six locations in Karachi — including Ziauddin Hospital's Clifton and North Nazimabad campuses, South City Hospital, Rim Trauma Hospital and the Islamabad Diagnostic Centre at Lucky Star — so that expert rheumatology care is always within reach.

Qualifications
  • MBBS · Fellowship in Internal Medicine

  • Diagnostic clarity — modern imaging and autoimmune panels for the right answer, first time.
  • Shared decisions — treatment options explained plainly, with your goals at the centre.
  • Long-term continuity — the same doctor guiding your care for years, not months.
