His clinical interests include acute inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient musculoskeletal care, ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections and electrodiagnostic studies. He is passionate about helping patients achieve their goals through individualized treatment plans that emphasize function, independence and overall well-being.

“Dr. Bilbao brings exceptional clinical training, a collaborative approach to care and a genuine commitment to helping patients achieve their highest level of function,” said Ronald Tolchin, D.O., chair of nonsurgical spine care and rehabilitation at Miami Neuroscience Institute. “His expertise in physical medicine and rehabilitation further strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care for individuals recovering from injury, illness and neurologic conditions.”
