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.

Excellent care. Very thorough and thoughtful. Listened to and addressed all my concerns.

Dr CHANDRAKAR is amazing! She discussed every concern I had with me, was honest and forthcoming with everything. She truly seems to care about my overall health and is not stuck in "one treatment fits all" mentality. I came here because I was feeling like a number at my previous doctors. I couldn't be Happier that I requested this appointment, and wish I had switched to Dr. Chandrakar sooner!

How a person wants to die is sacred. She did not listen to our wishes and pushed chemo when my partner was weeks away from dying.

The Medical staff is awesome
No issue with the medical staff, it's the AR (billing) department. They required payment in advance, so I paid them in full. Received my EOB and noticed I was overcharged. Called to ask about my refund and have been given the run around. Per my health plan they received 2 checks for my procedures back in June. Why the office has not cashed, I'm not sure. It's almost September and I can't get a callback regarding this issue.

I've been under Dr. Chandrakar's care for many years now and look forward to my visits. She is a very personable and pleasant to have my office visits with. She is quite knowledgeable in the care that I am receiving and is very thorough in regards to my labs, and diagnosis progress. I'm grateful for her service and commitment to my continued health. Dr. Chandrakars's has also been very thorough regarding responding to the Covid issues with changes to how we enter the waiting room, how we are spaced out in the waiting room etc.

Dr. Chandrakar is amazing! A cancer diagnosis is devastating, but having Dr. Chandrakar fighting for my survival was assuring. I so appreciate her expertise, strength and directness. Dr. Chandrakar is one of the reasons I am still enjoying life. I respect her greatly, along with all of the Drs. on my team. I am blessed that she has crossed my path. I would highly recommend Dr. Chandrakar!

DO NOT use this doctor. She's careless and reckless. My wife is a patience of this woman for years. My wife has been complaining about chest pain and we found out recently (6/18/2018) that there’s a 37 mm tumor in her lungs. We question why Chandrakar didn’t detect this tumor when she ask my wife to take CT scan every time she makes an appointment with Chandrakar office. We found evidence documented of a tumor in 2/2018 by requesting a history of her medical record. My wife has been taking CT scan every month in 2018 to today, so why was Chandrakar not able to detect this. It was noted several times in the CT scan and why she didn’t tell us is the question. This woman will pay big for being reckless, careless.

I would NOT recommend this oncologist. She barely touches you during an exam - sometimes doesn't even take vitals!! She has NO bedside manner what so ever. I don't expect to be coddled but I do expect her to listen to my health concerns without blaming me with a sarcastic response. Her office staff are unprofessional and use profanity loud enough that the entire waiting room can hear them.
