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 could not be more impressed with the consideration and compassion showed me by Dr Chandra. He treated my frozen shoulder and treated my anxiety as well over getting a shot, which by the way I never felt. I will and do tell everyone to go see him.

Dr. Chandra was referred to me by my primary doctor from Frazier Park for my knee injury ,a torn mencious. Everyone one at his office was very efficient , professional, timely and showed concern for my injury. The office staff is so polite, efficient, prompt and the wait time is nil. I returned for my preop and everything was explained to me. All was so easy to schedule, due to the excellent care from Grace , his scheduler, she is very patience. I would recommend this office and doctor Thanks!

As an X-gymnast, owner of a gym and full-time coach I was terrified as the use of my shoulder became less and less and the pain increased. I was referred to Dr. Chandra. His staff and the care that he has taken in the recovery of my shoulder has been amazing. He quickly diagnosed the results of my MRI, ran through some test of strength and flexibility and performed surgery within weeks. I am now recovering and I am shocked at my progress. I highly recommend Dr. Chandra & his amazing staff!!!!!!

Dr. Chandra was my saving grace! I had little use of my right shoulder and he looked at my mri and within 3 weeks I was having surgery. I was discharged yesterday and within a week I had full use of my shoulder again! The best orthopedic doctor in the state of California!

I had a complete knee replacement on my right knee in May of 2016, performed by Dr Chandrasekaran. I could not be more pleased. I only had to take pain meds 8 to 10 days. I can’t even tell I have an artificial knee. It’s like being a kid and not even thinking about the knee. I did work very hard twice a day for months, bending my knee back until I had full use. That is a must for a successful recovery. He is very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease.

I have been seeing Dr. Chandra for approximately 8 years. He has been extremely professional and so is his nurse Paula. If there is anything I need they are always hopeful in anyway they can. I normally do not do surveys but this one is well deserved. Thank you for everything they have done for me and my wife.

Makes you wait 3 months at a time between visits and misdiagnosises the problem each time or "changes his mind" tells you you need surgery, but is in NO hurry to,actually do it. Even though it is my job that is at risk the longer I'm on disability, but what does he care if I am employed, right? A family member of mine is an FNP and when I told her of my experience she swore their office would stop referring patients there if they aren't going to help them. Choose any other ortho office
