Excellent Rheumatologist. He treats the whole patient not just the Rheumatoid Arthritis. He listens very well to all your symptoms, previous diagnoses and takes everything into account before making a decision on your treatment plan. He explains it very well. For example: He switched me from an immune supresent to an immune modulator. I’m doing very well on the new drug called Orencia. Thank you Dr Bilal!
