This doctor lacked any communication with me as to the procedure she was doing, it's ramifications, and the results I should expect.

Dr Chandra is an amazing surgeon. She is kind, thorough and listens with empathy and compassion. She also laughs at my husband's corny jokes, which I think says a lot for a Physician; it shows her wonderful bedside manner and patience with him. She is very clear and thorough and engages in conversation about Steve's wound and what needs to be done. She never makes us feel stupid for asking questions about ways to get his wound to heal. We think very highly of her! We are thankful for her!

Dr Chandra was very empathetic and informative all at the same time. She was able to listen and was not arrogant in her explanations. She was kind and helpful with a very pleasant demeanor.
