Dr. Aaron Chidakel, MD

Dear Sir,This was a long term follow up of same patient. She had well control of DM type2. Was on Metformin 500 mg bd. Her blood sugar was well controlled. Only once in while especially when she had high CHO diet like mangoes it used to go 180 to 200. Her HbA1C was perfectly within normal limits.However since about an year she started loosing weight. She lost about 5 Kg. And I observed her both palms feel noticeably warmer. The body temp. was at little higher side of normal 98 to 98.4.Thus her Metformin was reduced to 250 mg bd. Within a week she started gaining weight. Gained 3 kg within 15 days. Moreover her both palms' temperature came down to normal. Palm temperature was a noticeable effect.I will keep further follow up. But within last 15-20 days warmth of palms came down. The body temperature also came down a little.Since last 15-20 days blood sugar 2 hrs. after breakfast, lunch & supper was within normal limits.I observed warmer palms many times within a year. Now it i

Had my first appointment with Dr Chidakel last week(Friday) for diabetes management. The appointment started right on time. He had reviewed my file and started with a few questions. Afterwards I asked a few questions which he answered to my complete satisfaction. He gave me a physical examine to include my feet. He also refereed me to an Optamoligist and asked if I needed any prescriptions filled.Subsequently sent me for blood work and followed up on Saturday with comments and the results. Overall, a very good experience

I went to see Dr. Chidakel about some issues I suspected I was having with my thyroid. I was very impressed with the way he took the time to listen and really talk to me about my issues. He gave me a number of options for treatments and gave me the pros and cons of the medications and gave me some advice about the direction I should take. I recommend Dr. Chidakel to anyone looking for an endocrinologist in the New York area.

I needed to establish care with a new endo and Dr. Chidakel came recommended via my PCP who is excellent. I knew I was in trouble because I was getting very general answers to my specific questions. Subsequently, he thought it would be best for me to take some time off work to get my health in order while I transition off some meds, and then pulled a 180 when my employer required him to sign a form so that I could take the time away from the office. This kind of passive-aggressive behavior along with ignoring some of my follow up questions is why I will pivot away. I should know have known that any NYC doc accepting new patients with immediate availability is a red flag - Now I understand why.

Horrible. Scheduled appoitmen a month ago, just to get cancellation notice in mychart. No phone call or explanation. Next available appoitment is June 2nd. I think I’ll pass...very unprofessional.

The visit was very short, he told me that I need a blood test and thyroid ultrasound. I never heard from him again. I called few times and the staff gave him a note to call me back and go over the US and blood results, but he never called me back. I had few questions that I wanted to ask him. I would not go back to him again.

Dr Chidakel is the best Endocrinologist at NYU he is knowledgeable, advanced in his field and offers many different options to take care of your situation! He is personable and has excellent bedside manners! Thank you for everything Dr

Stay away from Dr. Aaron R. Chidakel! The worst encounter with a physician I have ever encountered. He rushed through my appt. when he didn't read all the notes on my thyroid scan (where the technician recommended a biopsy) and I pointed out there was more on the paper, this idiot went ballistic. Started to insult me because I was from Ohio to trying to make it sound like I was just going through menopause (although my testing showed I wasn't and still get monthly periods). Run away!
