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 cannot recommend only due to the uncaring, rude and nonresponsive staff. I liked Dr. Choudhri very much during my first visit. He ordered tests, which were partially denied by insurance. When I tried to contact his staff about the peer-to-peer insurance review, the receptionist yelled at me and the clinical assistant never returned my emails. Emailed directly to Dr. Choudhri, also no response. Hence, my tests were never done. Not good practice.

An exceptional Doctor! I would recommend him ( and I did ) without hesitation. Warm and caring. Followed up after my surgery and was always available. Completely cured me and I never had the same symptoms. I am back to a very active life!

I miss Dr. Choudhri. Losing him several times to insurance(he needs to change that) and now a move down south was actually devastating to me. My story was long and complicated and finding another like him is like a needle in that haystack. After 2 years being in SC I knew (my PMD prompted me) I had to find a specialist just in case. I did NOT want to go there. No comparison. When you find the best and have to deal with the nonsense, as a patient you are screwed. Was in the medical field for 33 years and dealt with a lot of spinal specialists for many years. Dr. Choudhri is the bang!

From my first meeting with Dr. Choudri, I felt absolute confidence in him. He took the time to thoroughly review and explain my reports and images as well as the evidence, experience and thinking that led to his diagnosis and proposed treatment plan. Throughout my care he was communicative, present and available. He exhibited levels of knowledge, caring, empathy and personal and professional responsibility I have not encountered in any doctor and few people in my life. Meeting him was aprivilege

Dr. Choudhri is a fantastic clinician. He has a kind and calm presence, and took great care in both respecting that I had a wait (only 10 minutes) & explained to me very thoughtfully his process, the information we had at hand & he dedicated more time to helping me understand my options than I'd anticipated given his busy schedule and the level of prestige that he holds given his extensive academic and clinical background. His receptionist and NP were very kind, were also exceptional.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Choudhri. I had 2 spinal fusions with him and I'm doing amazing. His wealth of knowledge and ability to explain and justify his plan of action is superior and put me at ease. I highly recommend him and I'm on my way to getting my life back thanks to him.

I suffered from lower back and leg pain for years, I was to afraid to have surgery. One day an fellow co-worker, that had been to Dr. Choudhri, mention Dr. Choudhri to my husband and said it doesnt hurt to go have a consultation. Well he was right. I met with the Doctor, felt very comfortable and booked surgery that day. Had my surgery on 12/10/2015 they made me very comfortable and i wasnt scared. Its been an amazing year and I feel great. I would and have recommended Dr. Choudhri to everyone
