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.

Worst Doctor at Kaiser
I saw Dr. Chokler regarding hernia surgery that my general doctor said I needed. After paying my copay and taking time off work, I was informed by him that I was too heavy and I needed to lose an additional 60lbs. Remember, this was after my general Kaiser doctor said I needed surgery or an emergency may arise.I would not take my dog to Dr. Chokler.

Dr. Chockler performed surgery on my 90 year old mother four years ago. Not only did my mom recover very quickly, the wound healed perfectly and she had no complications. Her digestive system works far better now than ever before. Dr. Chockler has a wonderful bedside manner and is a brilliant surgeon. My mom is now 94 and still going strong.

Very unresponsive to post operative pain. Did not control pain while in the hospital and discharged patient only 5 hours after an acute appendectomy. Was not willing to increase pain medicine despite the nurse’s request. Gave only 3 days of discharge medicine and did not respond when a refill of pain medicine was requested. Have left over medicine from prior surgeries, so clearly not a narcotic abuser. Terrible looking wound closure from primary laparoscopic incision. Never use him!!!

Very condescending. Noticeably irate if questioned. Not concerned whatsoever with patients work stressors.
