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.

The staff was very helpful and courteous. Dt. C performed a thorough exam. Dr. Chidambaram explained his findings after testing my legs.

I was told he would contact me to schedule my abdominal aneurysm surgery early next week. After a week and a half. The scheduler had no info. They were to call back and let me know. Now 4 days later no call back. I guess they don’t CARE!!!! Poor poor poor.

Por donde empezar? ... el doctor muy poco profesional. En mi opinion una persona falta de respeto y sin educación , una actitud completamente inadecuada con su profesión, atiende a los pacientes sin deseos con muy mal carácter y con aires de superioridad por su profesión.

Dr. Chidambaram stated that he didn't believe my gallbladder needed to be removed. He suggested that I come back in October if I still was in pain. I cancelled the October appointment as I was no longer in pain. Shortly thereafter I received a letter from his office stating he'd no longer be able to serve as my doctor, nor would anyone in his practice. I'd been terminated as a patient, no explanation whatsoever, in an abrupt and rude letter. I called; I left messages, to no avail.
