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.

Very honest and professional..I’ve been a patient of his over 10 yrs.

I thought he was a good listener, did not rush, seemed concerned about my problem as well as me as a person. I left thinking he was one of the best doctors I have seen.

I find Dr. Choudry to be somewhat condescending. I felt he did mot listen to my concerns and unprepared to discuss my health issues.

Horrible Horrible…Did I say horrible? I had a Teledoc visit with him via video and phone. He was rude and abrupt. He asked me if my naps were relieving my headaches and I told him I don’t take naps. He then stated are you calling me a liar, your chart says you do. He then said my test came back negative and hung up on me. What the heck!!! Completely unprofessional. And their office never even contacted me even 30 days after my tests were completed. I had to reach out to them.

AVOID TBIS DOCTOR AT ALL COST!! I repeat AVOID THIS DOCTOR!! My mother sees this doctor and he insisted on changing her medications for her epilepsy that was working for her to a different medications where she is now having seizures frequently. He will not prescribe the previous medication to her that was working before HE changed the medication. My mother has fallen in the street numerous of times, and is constantly having seizures. He does not care about his patients what so ever. I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PHYSICAN TO ANYONE!!! I had to give him 1 star, I would prefer none!!

agree with the rest; not a good Doctor. He may know the science but is bad with people. The time was pretty useless and he seemed confused by the fact that I wanted to get results. He had a purely random shotgun approach but when I questioned if it would be effective, he kinda shrugged like "whatever, don't do anything then".

I left my appointment feeling suicidal. He dismissed all of my concerns. Told me I was just fine because I’m young despite my tbi and multiple concussions. Told me I should work but cannot drive. Took my license but would not put me on disability.

Dr. Choudry is an amazing physician. Highly professional and personable as well as caring. I have suffered severe migraine for 50 years and he carefully examined me, went over my medical history and treatments and suggested a new course of medication that might be effective. Not only was he right on point, but with the new medication I have been migraine free for several weeks. And he and his office worked with my insurance company to have the new medication approved as well. Outstanding!

Seems to show no empathy or really care about my problems. Waiting up to an hour multiple times In a holding cell after 15 mins in lobby and that’s with apointments set months ahead. Also has had to rechedual multiple apointments that we’re Schedualed months ahead for vacations. The staff seems cold and indifferent. I feel like dr chaudry just wants you to buy drugs and leave him alone.

Never! Avoid. He is an ignorant and helpless doctor. He is rude and has no ability to sympathize. He walked out of our appt saying he didn’t want to work with me for no reason other than seeing how much I needed his help avoid!!!
