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.

Not Crohns Friendly - Argumentative
Arguing over my disability saying that one day my symptoms may get better or maybe go away but I have Severe Crohns disease. There is no cure for Crohns and she still was saying she would only do a temporary placard and laughed off that no one has asked for a permanent DMV placard for Crohns and looked at me like I was asking a lot. Refused to refer me to a cardiologist after mentioning I had sharp chest pains and my left arm having throbbing sharp pain. She did a EKG and it did come back normal and still said no to the referral. She was very argumentative and brushed off everything I said.

Recently extremely hard to get an appointment. My 60 year annual visit had to be rescheduled and earliest available appointment was 9 months away. Will have to get a new primary care doctor.

Beware
I left Suvarna Choudhari’s office crying. In the appointments I had, I was never actually examined. Her head was down in her computer.I had opted for another medication and treatment than she wanted to prescribe. She got very argumentative with me. She left me alone in the exam room without further instruction. I decided to leave the office and find another doctor. On my way out, she pointed at me and yelled, “You stay put!!” I have never felt so disrespected or frighted in a doctor’s office. I asked for my medical files with a nice person at the front desk and left the office crying and shaking.

Gout
I was able to get an appointment very quickly following an attack of acute gout in my foot. The doctor explained the situation in detail and prescribed the appropriate medication

Highly not recommended !
First off, my appointment was at 10:30am, she did not come into see me until 11:10. I was early to my appointment… why can’t the doctor at least be on-time? Second… more than half my questions were answers with “ well I don’t know “. Didn’t seem interested in any of my symptoms nor was she hospitable. Would not recommend this doctor. Save yourself the headache and seek someone else.

Excellent Doctor
I love Dr Choudhari’s no nonsense, practical approach to my medical care. For instance, yesterday I discovered a symptom that I felt needed attention and she saw me right away. I loved that I did not have to wait a week or two! Thank you doctor!

Worst Ever MD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is by far the worst, unprofessional and uncaring doctor I have ever seen. She left me in a freezing room for an hour without letting me know the appointment was over. She was totally disrespectful to me. I would not recommend her to my worst enemy!!!! She doesn't care to learn anything new and as far as I am concerned, she doesn't care and should not be an MD!!!!

Shocked by positive reviews
I chose Dr. Choudhari because of the impressive number of positive reviews. I’m not impressed at all with this doctor. I have been seen by her 5 times and have yet to have a positive experience. She does very little to no physical exams. She never stops looking at her computer and doesn’t really seem to be listening when you’re talking to her. She is very hesitant to give referrals for anything and very dismissive of any concerns. I have been waiting 3 weeks to get results from a diagnostic test because she is on vacation. My husband sees the PA at this office and has had a similar experience. He was recently seen for severe back pain. He was unable to walk unsupported or even stand upright on his own. The PA did no examination, gave him an injection of pain meds and sent him home with no referral for any kind of radiology or PT. He ended up in the ER less than 2 hours after this appointment. We are both looking for new providers now.
