RheumatologyLanguages:
English|Hindi|OriyaMy goal is to get to know my patients well so I can help them manage their rheumatological conditions. Rheumatology is a complex and unique specialty, where the entire clinical picture, including the patient’s medical history, exam and diagnostic tests, can help to identify the underlying diagnosis and subsequent management.
I am a board-certified rheumatologist at St. Luke’s University Health Network. My practice is dedicated to the management of autoimmune or inflammatory rheumatic disorders. I work closely with my colleagues across medical and surgical specialties to provide the best care to my patients.
I earned my medical degree at Srirama Chandra Bhanj (SCB) Medical College in Cuttack, India. I completed a residency in internal medicine at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a fellowship in rheumatology at the University of Missouri at Columbia. I am currently a member of the American College of Rheumatology.
Outside of work, my hobbies include playing soccer, tennis and traveling. I love spending time with my family and kids.

“100% would recommend”

“Honestly one of the best experiences I have had with a physician. I scheduled the appointment before receiving another diagnosis. So, upon arrival there really wasn't much he could do for me other than screen for RA. But the compassion I recieved when I was technically wasting this man's time was truly a stand out experience. He was so kind. He understood that I was just desperate and looking for help. Instead of just sending me on my way, he gave me incredible information about a service that could benefit me. I spent over 4 years nearly bedridden, begging my PCP for help and being sent home with nothing. My experience over the past 15 years has been nothing short of traumatic. Those years/experiences decimated my trust in doctors and corporate medicine. Meeting with Dr. Bishwal was so incredibly healing in that respect. Although he couldn't help me physically, the impact of my visit gave me new hope in my medical journey and I truly believe that is something that MUST be celebrated. Thank you so much, Dr. Bishwal!”
