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.

Great care and follow through.
I had my first colonoscopy because of a positive test on the fecal occult blood test. The whole staff was fantastic throughout the procedure. Dr Chandra clearly explained my results, including some concerns and the need for a follow up in a year. Even though I missed the reschedule, her office did not. They reached out to me to set up the appoint I missed. I had the same great care the second time around along with a clean bill of health. I highly recommend Dr Chandra and her office.

My first rodeo – Feb 19, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Chandra?
Professional, Thoughtful, and Kind
While I've only had a single visit with Dr. Chandra, the experience was thoughtful, professional, and accommodating.Dr. Chandra is more than a gastrologist, she is also a member to the MWgi practice and the practice made the experience. The front desk staff, namely Michelle, showed empathy, flexibility, and kindness by accommodating me on very short notice. While I don't think the practice can accomplish this in every instance, it offered a glance into how a great provider separates themselves from a good provider.Dr. Chandra and the nursing staff at MWgi were the peak of professional in what can sometimes be an awkward moment in a person's life - gastro stuff :)If you're looking for a gastrologist and want the best - head to MWgi and ask for Dr. Chandra. Be sure to bring a smile for the front desk staff, they'll return that smile and make your day better.

Top Notch GI Dr.!
Dr. Chandra performed an endoscopy and colonoscopy on me. She was very informative while going over my history and the procedure information. The procedures went perfectly smooth, and she followed up with the results afterward. Everyone at Midwest Surgery Center was very polite, professional, and sincere, making me feel very comfortable given the circumstances. I highly recommend Dr. Chandra and her office for any GI needs. you may have.

Dr. Chandra met with me before the procedure and explained the procedure and the associated risks. She wanted to know if I had any questions. I felt as though she really cared about my well being. The procedure went smoothly and Dr. Chandra and the nurses took good care of me.

A doctor who listens!
Dr Chandra took the time to listen to the issues I was having & unlike the other GI I saw at a different practice, she kept asking questions to dig to what the possible root cause of my issues. For the first time in months I feel like I have a doctor's appointment in my corner who wont stop until we figure out what is causing my GI system to go wonky. And doesn't blame me or want to pass me off to a dietician truly understands this is a GI system issues not a dietary issue.

Colonoscopy
Dr Chandra and her staff were excellent. Everyone had a positive attitude, were professional, took the extra time to make sure I was comfortable. Dr Chandra before procedure introduced herself explained things and inquired if I had any questions. After procedure Dr Chandra took the extra time to explain the findings. Overall couldn’t be more satisfied with the care received

Very impressed
I was supposed to see Dr. Taeormina, but the wait time for an appointment was so far out, I asked to see another doctor and the staff set me up with Dr. Chandra. The wait time was still quite some time, but they called me and told me they had a cancellation if I would like to come in sooner. I shared this because I believe that shows just how great the staff is there as well. Dr. Chandra was amazing. I had a lump I was really worried about and within minutes, she diagnosed what was going on and eased my fear. She never once acted like she was in a hurry. Made me feel valued as a patient. Explained everything to me. Told me multiple times that if I had any other issues, be sure and let them know. The entire experience was flawless, from the day I called to make an appointment to the day of my visit. I would not even consider another gastroenterologist or clinic should I need one in the future.
