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.

Dr. Chokshi is always so attentive & caring.

Knowledgeable and very thorough
I have been a patient of Dr. Chokshi's for many years. He has always been very thorough with my visits and is one of the top doctors in Florida in my opinion. There are things that I am aware that I need to work on for health reasons. Dr. Chokshi kindly brings the issue to awareness and gives creative and positive ways for me to work on these things. He doesn't suggest that I do things he wouldn't be willing to do himself. I am confident in the answers and suggestions he gives me. He has seen other family members and without a doubt we believe him to be someone we can confidently refer to others. You can't go wrong choosing Dr. Chokshi of Bay Area Cardiology. We have truly been blessed by him, his heart and his knowledge.

Made appointment, waited 4 weeks and called on the morning of my appointment to confirm time. The scheduler confirmed my appointment and asked me to arrive 30 minutes early. When I checked-in, I was told I had no appointment scheduled for that day. No apologies, no empathy, no attempt to find out what happened or to talk with the scheduler I talked with that morning. They wanted me to come back in a month, which I declined, and left. As an aside, the small waiting room had way to many people, and although they were masked, there was no way to maintain social spacing. I do NOT recommend this doctor or Cardiology Group.

He was the worst doctor experience in my life. I have never left a bad review for any dr before. But this dr’s errors almost caused my death (in my opinion).. he had me do a stress test(dirty office, old equipment, personnel dressed in dirty cloths). his review of the results were that everything was ok. yesterday i had two stents, 80-90% blockage, installed. it was determined after i went to another doctor that new test were required and as a result it was determined to go in and look at blockage. thank God i went to a different cardiologist.

Dr. Is the best. Nursing staff falls short. I spent 3 days getting my medications correct. No medication has changed, but nurse called them in to refill incorrectly. I have had to spend 3 days on phones trying to get meds corrected. Very poor service with nursing staff. Phone system is terrible. Stressful day with getting corrections made.
