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.

Hospital Journey
My husband was extremely sick and there was a problem figuring out his diagnosis for two weeks while in PCU. The day we were told we need to think about comfort care and my husband's wishes we met Dr. Choudary. He did some research on his case and changed some of the medications. A week later my husband was discharged and on his way to recovery. We cannot thank Dr. Choudary enough for helping my husband.

Very nice and friendly man. When requested to provide care, he showed up late at night to personally ask how I was doing. He truly is one of the best neurologists I’ve ever met.

This doctor saved my life!!! He is my hero!! When I first saw him I had been told by 5 other Neurologist that they didn't know why I had several strokes and numerous Tia's. When I saw Dr Chodary he told me that he would find out why I had the strokes and the Tia's. And he did!! Turns out that I have a rare cerebral vascular disease called Moya Moya. He also found the surgeon to perform several cerebral bypasses. I trust Dr Chodary with my wife

I'm not even sure if Dr. Choudary is worth 1 star. I had 3 appointments with him. The first appointment went well. The other 2 were the worst experiences I have ever had a dr office. The 2nd visit they returned my co-pay before I even left the office. He was CLUELESS of why I was even there. I waited almost 2 hours in the waiting room. Guess he couldn't be bothered to read my file...right in front of him. 3rd visit was a follow up after a eeg at Tampa General. His office called and left me multiple voice mails, all of which I still have on my phone, trying to schedule an appointment. My assumption was they had my results from test. But when I arrived in his office, and had another 1 hour and 45 minute wait in reception area he once again asked me why I was there. Didn't wait for refund of co-pay. Took this as a $40 life experience fee. Don't waste your time or patience on this man. My experience is he just doesn't care!

This doctor doesn’t deserve a star ! I’ve been sick for 3 years and 25 doctors that I’ve seen couldn’t help me. I called the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville & they gave me his number cause they said Lakeland Regional Health work together. I drove 2 hrs to see him & I was his last appointment. he was so rud & said he couldn’t help me & he doesn’t work with the Mayo Clinic ! He told me to go to a psychologist & prescribes me meds for headache I had all my records from 3 years & he didn’t look @any

4 years ago, I was admitted to hospital with inability to walk and decreased strength in my arms. In walked my angel Dr. Choudary. Keep in mind the day before I was completely normal and had worked my 8 hour shift. He immediately diagnosed me with Guillian Barre Syndrome and I am convinced he saved my life. It took me 3 months to completely recover but 4 years later, I am still working full-time without any problems. He was my and my family's cheerleader that whole 3 months. He is awesome!

I met Dr. Choudary on a video conference inside the emergency room shortly after my husband suffered an acute stroke. Dr Choudary administered TPA and within a few days I watched my husband return from this devastating brain injury. It's been 3 years now and he went from being unable to stand up to golfing once again. Thank you to this great doctor and his team our life was brought back from the brink of disaster. We couldn't be more pleased with the professional care of this wonderful doctor.
