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.
