What to know
before your first visit

Three chapters on when to come in, how to prepare and what happens during a consultation with a rheumatologist.

01
When to come in

Warning signs in your joints

Sudden or worsening pain, swelling, morning stiffness, or a fever alongside joint complaints — these are reasons to book a rheumatologist appointment without delay.

Sudden pain in one or more joints can be a sign of various rheumatic diseases: arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, systemic vasculitis and other systemic connective tissue diseases. It is often accompanied by swelling, redness, morning stiffness and limited movement.

«Seeking help early is a key factor in the outcome of rheumatic diseases. Don't write pain off as just getting older.»

Preparing

Which tests to bring to your appointment

If you have recent test results, bring them along. This shortens the path to a diagnosis and helps start treatment at the first visit.

A basic test panel for joint symptoms quickly shows the level of inflammation, rules out metabolic disorders, and narrows down the likely rheumatic diagnoses as early as the first appointment.

«A good set of lab results saves weeks. I go through the results together with you, not instead of you.»

Procedures and treatments

In my practice I perform the full range of in-office procedures — from intra-articular injections to selecting and adjusting systemic therapy.

Synovial fluid protectants, marketed as “Liquid Joint”, are modern preparations that protect the joint and reduce friction between the joint surfaces. They provide extra cushioning and support joint health under load.

Injecting hyaluronic acid preparations into the joint in osteoarthritis reduces pain and improves joint function; the effect develops over several weeks.

«Treating rheumatic disease is a marathon run together with the patient, not a one-off prescription.»

Experience, in numbers

Every patient has their own story — the doctor's role is to map the path from the first visit to lasting remission.

I came to see Oleg Timofeevich over a year ago with a serious autoimmune condition. I immediately appreciated his kindness and competence, which is why I decided to keep seeing him on an ongoing basis. This was already my fourth visit to Oleg Timofeevich. It's lovely that he remembers his patients — he still monitors my health carefully, gives useful advice and prescriptions, and is ready to stay in touch if needed. You don't often come across such involvement and responsiveness. I'm grateful to the doctor for this and hope that, with his help, my condition will stay firmly under control and won't progress.

I have psoriatic arthritis. After moving to Krasnodar, no rheumatologist managed to help me for five years — until I met Oleg Timofeevich. I want to thank him enormously. He acted quickly and effectively. Instead of frightening me with the problem, he reassured and supported me like a true professional. After three months of treatment I feel no pain. I'm continuing treatment under his careful supervision.

Oleg Timofeevich is a gifted doctor! He ordered tests at the first appointment. At the second appointment he studied all the results thoroughly and prescribed effective treatment! It helped right away — my back and leg stopped hurting and the inflammation went away. We are enormously grateful for his attentiveness and responsiveness. I recommend Oleg Timofeevich to everyone!

My mother is the one seeing the doctor — she visits Oleg Timofeevich once a year, and thanks to this her rheumatoid arthritis has gone into remission. He is always very attentive and polite. No unnecessary prescriptions or tests. Many thanks to the doctor for his help and treatment!

I first booked my husband in to see Oleg Timofeevich in October 2023, with an inflamed foot joint causing severe pain (he couldn't even put a shoe on). After one month of treatment the situation improved significantly! His uric acid levels came down to normal. At the follow-up appointment we received clear, complete information about further treatment, monitoring and, most importantly, what to do at the first signs of another flare-up. We sincerely thank Oleg Timofeevich for his help and the treatment he prescribed, which brought a positive result.

On friends' recommendation, my wife came to see rheumatologist Oleg Timofeevich Odnovolov about six months ago with a complex autoimmune condition, ankylosing spondylitis. Her health situation was difficult: immobility, pain, a condition bordering on disability. Effective treatment was prescribed. Treatment is still ongoing today, and my wife has returned to a normal life. We'd like to note Oleg Timofeevich's thorough, attentive approach to his patient.
