Why I’m an infectious disease specialist
“I became an infectious disease specialist because it is a more holistic approach to patient care. Infections affect the entire patient, not just individual organs, and it gives me the opportunity to treat the patient as a whole.”
Approach to infectious disease care
Dr. Bhalla believes that the doctor-patient relationship is central to quality care and a positive patient experience. He emphasizes the importance of patients being involved in the decision-making process and taking ownership of their illness as a crucial part of effective treatment. Dr. Bhalla takes pride in solving difficult cases and excels in communicating clearly with patients, ensuring they have a thorough understanding of their illness and treatment plan, which is key to achieving maximum recovery and success.

Life-changing results speak for themselves
“From the moment I arrived I was greeted pleasantly and professionally. My visit with the Dr. Bhalla went well and informative as to my text results, and a treatment plan to follow-up with.
Regarding the staff beginning with Allison at the front desk, again provided a pleasant experience. Ebony, the registered nurse was also professional and delicate when administering my flu shot. I’m happy with my overall visit, especially one having to be a doctor visit.”
