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.

Cost me 4 years of treatment
Dr. Chakinala was condescending and misdiagnosed me, attributing my pulmonary hypertension to my weight. With all the time between referrals, tests, covid, etc., he cost me 4 years of treating a chronic, progressive lung disease which is now worse. If you have CTEPH, please find a different doctor!
