Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome to say the least. He was the first doctor to find out what was wrong with my wrist. And he was excited to show his staff my X-rays. Kienbocks disease back in 1984 or 85 think it was. He told me it was rare and I could tell my friends that I had something they did not LOL. Dr C Chandra finally got me on the road to healing. Thank you Dr Chandra and your staff. Judy Henderson

Horrible, awful doctor: rude and inept. He misdiagnosed me and said I had a broken bone, and he wanted to do surgery. Two other doctors diagnosed me correctly later, and there was NO broken bone! Thank God I didn’t let him operate! He’s the worst doctor I’ve ever been to. Extremely rude and hateful. Terrible stressful experience. He’s simply a horrible doctor in every way.

I had 2 surgeries and Dr. Chandra was fantastic. He was straightforward and that is what I look for in a doctor. Sometimes I forget which arm I broke when telling the story. Fully healed with no arthritis.

Rude. Pompous. Condescending. Told me what I knew as fact concerning my condition was wrong. When I explained to him how I knew the facts, he never acknowledged it, tried to act as if what he said to me never happened. Never apologized for basically calling me stupid. I would never ever recommend this doctor to anyone except possibly someone I thought capable of mass murder.

I found this doctor to be abusive. He reprimanded me over my use of a word stating he was far superior to others, he misdiagnosed me with a broken bone that I didn't have (thank goodness for the second opinion), he followed me all the way out of the exam room to to the front desk yelling and fussing at me. The rudest doctor I've ever had. I would NOT recommend him to anyone! He does not need to be practicing medicine!

One of the rudest doctors I have ever encountered. When telling him I was in pain, he told me I wasn't. Does not even look at the problem. Interrogates you and doesn't believe anything you say. Doesn't care how the patient feels. Would've been better off not seeing anyone than seeing him. Only caused more pain.

Dr. Chandra operated on a displaced fracture of my tibia. He may seem abrasive at times but he knows how to get you back to moving. He's frank about your general physical condition.

This man is the rudest doctor I have ever been too. He is not compassionate at all and doesn't care if he helps you at all.

My visit to Dr Chandra at his office was sincerely the best physician office experience I have ever had. The office and Dr Chandra were very professional, prompt, and courteous. There was very little waiting at all from the time I entered the office until I left. Excellent!

I would not recommend Dr. Chandra to anyone. My daughter is a little under 2 years old and she broke her arm about a month ago. Every time we have been to him for her appointments he is extremely rude ! Today we went to get her cast off and he said he wanted to do X-rays without the cast on so that's what they done. He comes in the room and says her arm isn't healed do u want another cast or brace I said another cast because she's young and dangerous. He said I've took cast off just use brace
