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!

Very best arthritis doctor I have ever seen. He’s has helped me more in two visits than my previous doctor did in a year. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants someone who listens, takes his time with you to explain things, and is just so very helpful!
