(I'm answering for my husband who has Alzheimer's) We switched to this provider just recently when [staff] retired. We like him very much. He is very caring and explains everything and leaves enough time for our questions. He was already well versed in my husband's heart issues.

I was seen on 06/15/2026, by [staff]'s colleagues, Dr. Shawn Chawla, about my concerns at the visit. He introduced himself and extended his hand to me, upon entering the exam room. Dr. Chawla, overall discussed with me about my labs results, medical recommendations, and follow up with the office.

Very personable. Was able to find some of my test results from 2019, done in a different state. This is impressive. Mapped out a very good plan fir evaluation.

Intelligent, kind. He thought about the bigger picture. He changed one medication for a more effective one. He recommended a test that will give him a clear understanding of my heart function-important for this stage of life.

Dr. Shawn is an excellent doctor. He did his due diligence before he saw me. He asked relevant questions. I told him that I was thinking of postponing my stress test but he encouraged me to keep the appointment. That way we will know where we stand regarding my health. He was up beat and gave me confidence. He is an assuring person.

This was my first visit. Dr. Chawla was personable, thorough, attentive and understandable. I was impressed how he really took the time to evaluate test results from other doctors to suggest next steps for me. Unlike the other practice, he did not order unnecessary tests.

The Dr. Was professional and friendly. My case is unusual and doesn't follow the norm. There are two other doctors that prescribe my care and know my history.
