Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

My clinical interests include management of benign and malignant pancreaticobiliary disease including – pancreatic cysts, acute and chronic pancreatitis, complications of pancreatitis (pseudocysts, necrosis, pancreatic duct strictures), early detection of pancreas cancer, endoscopic therapy for bile duct strictures (cancers, primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis), ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy, and endoscopic management of bariatric surgery complications. Dr. Bhalla has a keen interest in EUS-guided therapeutic interventions to allow for creative problem solving to improve the quality of life for his patients.


Care Philosophy

I aim to provide a wholistic approach in the care for my patients. Utilizing medical management and minimally invasive endoscopic procedures I strive to ensure my patients will have an understanding of their medical condition, the procedures they may need and the tools to continue to improve their health.
