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.

Dr. Chindalore has treated my osteoporosis for six years. she and her staff have provided excellent care. Dr. Chindalore has also helped diagnose many of my friends and family with their particular illness due to her expertise and decades of experience.

She doesn't spend much time with you nor does she follows written instructions. She doesn't believe in fibromyalgia which tells me she's in the wrong specialty-field. One of her staff members that's under her is the same way doesn't listen nor does she follow written instruction. These were people don't really care about us. They must have forgot their oath. A application was turned into her with specific instructions on it. They did not follow the instructions and did what they want and when I brought it back to them they still did it wrong. The third time I brought it to them they said they weren't going to do nothing about it. Like I said the instructions was written right there on the application paperwork.

Very dissatisfied
She would not sit down and answer all my questions. Was as if she flew in and then not. she was not going to talk to me until I asked a question. She showed a lack of concern. Her nurse scribbled the diagnosis on a pice of paper as she was walking out of the room. I would not recommend her to anyone.

First visit with her I was scared of what was going on with me. She shows no empathy for her patients at all. I agree with someone else review who said "she treat you like your bothering her and not a patient". I had to choose one star but should be 0.

I've been seeing her for about 2 years since my previous doctor retired but I am searching for another doctor. I spend an hour or two at her office but only get to see her for 5 minutes if that. I have questions for her and am asking them when she gets up, walks out and asks one of her workers take me to schedule my next appointment and lab work. That's the end of the visit. You feel like you're in a warehouse when you see her and she treats you like you are bothering her, not as your doctor.

Dr. Chindalore has been my doctor for over 11 yrs., I searched for yrs for a ra and fibro Dr for years who wouldn't tell me it was in my head. She is blunt and it takes time to get to know her but I'd rather she be blunt then blow smoke. She is excellent art what she does and ones of my favorite Drs.

I had an appointment that I confirmed the day before. I show up and the office is closed due to weather. They didn't bother to call me to let me know or to tell me they moved my appointment. Was not friendly when I called to complain about not being notified. They stated they it was late when they decided to close and they called all patients. I did not receive call!!! I said you need to call my cell and secretary said I don't have that number, but they have it!!!

FEDUP in Anniston, AL – Jan 10, 2017

On my 2nd visit Chindalore belittled my regular doctor for "screwing up" her lab orders. Said she'd done all the wrong tests & "was stupid for lousing everything up". I offered to have labs redone & was told they really didn't matter anyway...really??? NOT professional AT ALL. My lab work was done perfectly to her orders so there was absolutely no reason for the false accusations. I was desperate to find a rheumatologist, but this is NOT the one for me. Please go elsewhere for treatment

This doctor does not spend sufficient time with you. She has a problem listening to your needs and questions. It's pretty insensitive to ask patients with obvious movement issues to go into 3 different rooms before Dr. Chindalore bellows for you to come to her. She rarely looks up from her laptop to acknowledge you. It's almost like she has completed her assessment before you walk in. Needless to say...looking for another rheumatologist! Many of her patients feel this way.

Dr. Chindalore and her staff was very professional and courteous. The office is clean and well kept they made me feel at home. The office environment did not make me feel sick at all. I did not ask a great of questions but she did ask if I had question but on my next visit which will be my 3rd visit I plan on asking more questions. The medication she placed me on is helping and I appreciate and respect her medical knowledge.
