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.

I highly recommend Dr Chana for heart conditions
when Dr Chana came into the exam room, I felt comfortable, as if I knew Him for years. He checked my vitals, explained what He found, made suggestions if necessary, prompting Me to ask questions that I had not thought of and getting answers that I could understand. I feel confident that He can help Me, and I look forward to My next visit of improvement.

New to Dr Chana
Our cardiologist at PCA retired and we were reassigned to Dr Chana. We are very thankful for this change, he was very personable, took his time to get to know us, and was very understanding and knowledgeable. We will see him regularly. Thank you, Dr Chana for great knowledge and bedside manner!

Poor Heart Maintenance
Once a year, I used to frequent the PCA office in Orange. Dr. Chana recommended diet or medication changes instead of providing to assess my current heart condition. I had not had a stress test in 10 years after the last one. The last one showed leaky and regurgitation of valves. I did ask him if I needed updated tests and was told it was not necessary in other words. The office reception told me that I was still in network but later, I received a bill for PCA services. I found out that I was out of network. I switched from PCA to a new hospital cardiology group who said I was overdue for heart maintenance tests. They performed tests and found that I needed a left heart catherization. I could not afford it then. A year later, I switched hospital cardiology group because of a job and insurance change. They did tests and said the same results which the other cardiology group recommended. Morale of this experience - Patients have to advocate regular maintenance on their conditions!

On my first visit with Doctor Chana he spent a lot more time with me than I’m used to. We talked about my condition, answered all my questions and then we discussed what I could do to feel better mentally and physically without me feeling any judgment. I left feeling more inspired. Looking forward to my next visit.

Delightful Reunion
Ten years ago Dr Chana was my first cardiologist, and I all but fell in love with him: kind, cheerful, obviously highly talented and blessed with professional expertise, he is personable, sincere, and committed to his patients’ overall health. Getting to see him again was a privilege, and I will honour his advice and directives with appreciation for him as a person and as an outstanding cardiologist. I came away from meeting him again inspired and elated. Sincerely, Professor C W (Chuck) Spurgeon

Good listener and welcomed me in a caring
Dr Chana introduced himself with a smile in a caring and empathetic manner allowing me to open up about my concerns regarding my heart health. He was willing to help me and didn’t rush when explaining his plan of care and teaching me how to go by getting my weight loss regimen started. He gave me positive vibes like he truly believed that I would follow his instruction and succeed in accomplishing my goals. He truly inspired me to do better and feel better. Thank you again Dr Chana for your care and support.
