It may not be a sound way to make a decision, but my gut told me I was in good hands with Dr Chawla. He also was very personable, considerate and informative. I just wish such a good doctor wasn't so far from me. America needs many more good doctors like Chawla and a lot less politicians and the such.

I am very impressed with Dr. Chawla since our first meeting. He communicates directly and in language I can understand, does not "sugar-coat" information. He makes sure that my family and I understand what the diagnosis is and what he plans to do. Dr. Chawla always welcomed my daughter and son-in-law to join my appointments via phone. He answered their questions and listened to their comments. Additionally, Dr. Chawla met with my daughter daily post-op to apprise her of my condition which I truly appreciated. I am very happy that my post-op course has gone so well..no infections, any pain I had was managed well, I am walking and eating without difficulty and look forward to resuming my normal activities soon. I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Chawla. He answered

He is so kind, caring and compassionate. His bed side manner is incredible and I feel like he is focused on me and not thinking about other patients or other things he needs to do.

Told me exactly what was happening next and what go on after that. What I did appreciate was there was a time frame given, not exact but in possible days for things to move forward.
