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.

Excellent primary care physician
I have been a patient of Dr. Channan for about 3 years now. She is very capable, is always available, and explains everything in a straightforward and understandable way. Her office is also well run and responsive.I recommend her highly.

Dr. Channan was my primary care doctor for many years. She was very focused on my weight. So much so that she neglected to provide care or referrals for unrelated health conditions that were not only impacting my quality of life, but my ability to lose weight. She encouraged me to have weight loss surgery (lap band) and prescribed benzodiazepines for me for years at increasingly higher doses. The only time I felt taken seriously was for a skin condition that could not be blamed on my weight. I had to go my own way to get the help I needed. I would not recommend her as a primary care doctor unless you are thin, relatively healthy, and already see the specialists you need.

Was on time, explained everything very clearly and also answered all my questions. Did not rush me out and i left there comfortable as being my PCP. I have been a patient of hers for 1.5 years and am very satisfied of her commitment to her patients.
