This Doctor Ashok goes far and beyond in her care and treatment - nothing is too much for her - I cannot recommend her enough - with the treatment she has endeavoured to get for me I am now pain-free and living a normal life - I will be forever thankful to her. I was seen as a private and NHS patient and the treatment she gives on both services is first class.

I saw Dr. Ashok at Springfield Hospital with joint/muscle pain affecting my day to day life. She was extremely friendly and reassuring and did not make me feel rushed at all - carefully listening to me. She performed a thorough examination and extensive blood tests to try and establish cause of my problems. Medication given helped calm my symptoms. I felt that Dr. Ashok was extremely caring and thorough and I felt completely reassured by her. Thank you so much Dr. Ashok.

I approached Dr Ashok via Spire Hosp. re. rheumatoid-arthritis pain in my hands and because the NHS referral from my GP was not expected to give an appointment for several months. I was seen quickly and given a thorough consultation and body examination, this included joint pain history. I was given a intermuscular injection of a steroid which relived the symptoms and pain within 24 hrs and five weeks later no return of symptoms. Dr Ashok inspires confidence and her interest seems genuine. My private care was funded through Benenden, a low cost mutual society which assists when NHS services fall short.

My mother in law went to see Dr Ashok as she suddenly developed pains in her arms, hands and then suddenly lost the ability to use her legs. Local GP said this was just due to old age . However mum was an active 80 year that suddenly lost all ability. We went to see Dr Ashok who assured mum that she would be able to get mum back to her normal health. Dr Ashok was caring and listened to mum. She gave mum pain relief and diagnosis mum after a few simple blood tests. An absolutely fantastic consultant would definitely recommend.

I was referred to Dr Ashok to investigate significant pain. Dr Ashok was extremely welcoming, listened very closely to my description of my symptoms, prompted where necessary to ensure she had the full picture and then took time to explain in non-technical terminology what she believed had happened. She demonstrated an excellent website where I could read more and be assured my condition was treatable. She was calm and friendly and very reassuring. Her medical professional approach allied with her ability to explain a medical condition in terms I could understand was excellent. I would have no hesitation Dr Ashok as a highly professional and encouragingly supportive consultant.

Profile

I have been a Consultant Rheumatologist since 2008 and have broad experience in the diagnosis of all musculo-skeletal rheumatic conditions. My priority as a specialist is to ensure an accurate diagnosis so that I can provide patients with accurate information about their condition and early management. I have extensive experience in the provision of soft tissue and joint injections for the relief of pain and inflammation and have a particular interest in managing early inflammatory arthritis. I was leading the Early arthritis service in my previous NHS Trust.
Over the years of consultant experience, I have performed a vast number of soft tissue and joint injections for the relief of pain and inflammation.

I was appointed to the Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust in July 2017 as a substantive Consultant Rheumatologist.

Before moving to Chelmsford, for 9 years I was a substantive Consultant Rheumatologist at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, Durham.

Specialist Clinical Interests:
