Dr. Nepal is an excellent doctor. While he specializes in rheumatology, he spent time to make sure he understood the connection between my PMR and other medical issues. He tailored his recommendations to my entire situation as opposed to just focusing on my PMR. He was wonderful, patient and sensitive to my specific needs.
