Services
At NWRA we offer infusion therapy of biologic medications in a supportive patient friendly environment. Intravenous infusion of biologic medications is available to patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Lupus, Gout, Osteoporosis and other medical conditions.
I care about my patients and want to help them stay active and well. I believe that it is important for me to listen to the patient, and to take the time needed to make the right diagnosis, as well as to ensure that the patient is well educated about their condition and treatment options. This enables them to make informed decisions about their health.
Saying that medicine is an art as well as a science best sums up my guiding philosophy. For me, it is very important to individualize medicine based on each unique scenario and each individuals goals of care and to discuss the available science so patients feel empowered to make informed medical decisions.
2017 to 2021: Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, University of Alabama at Birmingham. I strive to provide comprehensive, evidence based and up-to date care to my patients with utmost compassion. I believe in team building with my patients through good communication and encourage their involvement in treatment decision making and overall medical care.
The physicians of Northwest Rheumatology Associates specialize in Osteoporosis assessment and treatment. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, or fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine and wrist.

I've been pleased with NW Rheumatology Associates during every interaction, from scheduling, reception, and my physician. While scheduling my appointment, they were accommodating to my times, gave me step-by-step instructions on what to expect and how to complete the online registration and check-in process. They even called me back to get a sooner appointment after the Dr. read my chart and deemed it necessary to see me as quickly as possible.
The scheduling/reception staff are very helpful and friendly, and I like that my physician took my symptoms seriously. I'm impressed with this medical group, and highly recommend them.

This was one of my best doctor's office experiences in a long time. I had almost no wait when I arrived, check in and speaking to the assistant were both very efficient. And then the doctor (Dr Jagpal) took the time to listen to me, understand my concerns, and come up with a plan that worked for me. Then when I had tests done a nurse called me just hours after the results were finalized. Amazing service!

After a number of years as a patient under the care of Dr. Kathryn Baker, I continue to be extremely pleased with the time she takes with me, how she explains things in lay terms and the overall care she provides me. The staff are always friendly, the office beautiful and things seem to always flow smoothly! A great clinic, a great experience!

My appointment time was 10:00am and I was talking to my new doctor by 10:15 (She apologized for being late!). She took lots of time with me and answered my questions patiently and complete. After we decided on a course of action, I was directed to an individual who gave me the exact out of pocket amount the procedure would cost me. The staff was pleasant and professional. This was my first appointment at this clinic and I was very pleased with my choice.

Great experience. This was my first visit to the new office. It is much larger and brighter than the previous office. The office staff was friendly as usual, but they also seemed happier. My wait time was less than 5 minutes which was great. Dr. Shah informed me they have brought on new doctors to help share the work load which seems to have improved everyone's spirits. This is a great practice and I highly recommend them.

I don't know how long I've been coming here. My guess is 10 years or better. I've never had a bad experience. Dr. Molly Thompson is my doctor and I love her. Actually, I love all the staff. They're nice and friendly which is what I look for in a doctor's office. She's never steered me wrong. One time I was having trouble with a bill from another doctor's office and an admin person from NWRA helped me with it and I was able to settle it. They're service went above and beyond. I would recommend NWRA to anyone in a New York minute.

While I had to wait 9 months for the appointment, the staff and doctor were excellent. Dr. Jagpal is kind, compassionate and smart as can be. The staff worked with me on obtaining the correct referral I needed and made sure I could be seen despite a snafu with my insurance that was quickly resolved. I am glad to have established care here.
