Dr. Elbalkhi was incredible. I went to see him as a 2nd opinion re: my arthritis. he read all of my records, listened to me about the history of my arthritis, and concluded that I did not have rheumatoid arthritis, only osteoarthritis. a previous doctor told me I had RA. I was very impressed with Dr. E in all ways possible and referred him to a friend, who also was diagnosed by the previous doctor with RA. Dr. E. concluded that her arthritis was OA, not RA. Both my friend and I felt that Dr. E. was thorough and accurate in his diagnosis.
