This was my third visit to Dr. Dipti Bholwala for a rheumatology problem. I found her to be very thorough, pleasant and informative regarding my problem. She also has ordered the appropriate tests necessary to help identify and treat my problem. I realize that this is a very busy office, and do expect to wait for my appointment. It is good that you can make appointments, since this is a walk-in type office.

More about Dr. Dipti Bhoiwala, MD

Please visit my website - http://www.urgentcareeastgreenbush.com/ This is an urgent care practice. I am an Internist and Rheumatologist by training. I obtained all my training at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY. I have been working at St. Peter’s Hospital after my graduation from my Rheumatolgy fellowship. Ever since I can remember I have wanted to become a medical doctor. I have always wanted to help people. I grew up watching my father, Dr. Laxmikant Bhoiwala, develop into the wonderful physician he is today. I am very happy to join his practice, Urgent and Primary Care in East Greenbush, NY and work alongside my mentor. He and I share the same ideology, put patient care first. In today’s medical care, due to time constraints of the system and bigger medical practices, people are seen too quickly and many issues left unresolved. Here at our practice, we believe in spending time with our patients and making sure all their needs are tended. I will be offering Internal Medicine urgent care, primary care, and also Rhematology care. We are also open to different approaches to medicine, such as alternative and holistic medicine. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family. I have a wonderful and caring husband and a little rambunctious toddler at home. They make my life complete. I love the art of Medicine, and believe in its power to heal.
