Mowyad Khalid, MD, FACR

Why did you become a rheumatologist?

I chose rheumatology because it combines science, problem-solving, and long-term patient relationships. Many immune sysem diseases are complex and can affect nearly every part of the body. I enjoy helping patients find answers,

regain function, and improve their quality of life.

 

What can patients expect if they choose you as their rheumatologist?

Patients can expect to be heard. I take time to understand each person's story, review their concerns thoroughly, and create an individualized treatment plan using the latest evidence while making decisions together with my patients.

 

What are your medical interests?

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Psoriatic arthritis

• Gout and CPPD (pseudogout)

• Lupus and connective tissue diseases
  
   

What do you enjoy doing outside of medicine?

Outside of medicine, I enjoy travelling, spending time with my family, and

reading thriller novels.

 

What is a piece of advice you carry with you?

Treat every patient like your own family.
