Dragana Odobasic is a rheumatologist based in Clayton, VIC, at 246 Clayton Road. She looks after people with ongoing joint, muscle, and immune-related conditions. If symptoms keep coming back, or your blood tests and scans don’t quite tell the whole story, this is the kind of clinic where you can get proper, focused care.
Her work often involves autoimmune and inflammatory problems. That can include rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis, and vasculitis. She also sees people with glomerulonephritis, where the kidneys can be affected, and conditions linked with myeloperoxidase deficiency. These illnesses can be tough because they don’t always behave in a straight line. Over time, flares may change, and plans often need adjusting.
In day-to-day care, she concentrates on understanding what’s going on in the body, and making treatment feel practical. This usually means working through symptoms, supporting monitoring with blood and urine tests, and talking about what helps most in real life. At times, this can involve coordinating care with other parts of the healthcare team, especially when kidneys are involved.
Like many specialists, she builds her approach from specialist rheumatology training plus hands-on clinical experience with these conditions. She keeps up with current research and new treatment ideas as they come through, so care can reflect what’s working for patients in the wider medical community. Where relevant, she also takes part in or keeps an eye on clinical trials, though details are not always shared publicly.
If you’re dealing with pain, swelling, fatigue, rashes, or kidney-related concerns linked to an immune condition, Dr Odobasic can help sort out the next steps. Care is calm and grounded, with an emphasis on clear communication and steady follow-up, so you’re not left guessing between appointments.
