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.

While she asks and listens to her patients. Dr. Choklingam asks highly invasive and unnecessary questions that no health care professional should be asking their patients. Any mental health related topics are ones where she will ask you to justify why you feel the way you do instead of accepting them.

My wife and I had our annual physical with Dr. Chockalingam on February 27, 2023. She spent a full hour with each of us and took us in at our appointed times of 11:00 am and 12:00 pm. She was exceedingly thorough in my examination and fully explained the tests she was administering and the reasons. I never felt rushed and she answered my questions fully. I have been a patient of Dr. Chockalingam since 2007 and she has taken excellent care of me, my wife, my late mother and father, along with two of our children. I owe Dr. Chockalingam my life, as she timely diagnosed my cancer in 2008 and immediately referred me to the best urological cancer specialists available in the area. I cannot begin to thank her for her life-altering, compassionate medical treatment. She is simply the best internist I have ever been treated by.

An outstanding doctor in every way. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, listens carefully, asks questions, is thorough, does research when necessary, and never rushes an appointment. I have the utmost confidence in her as my primary doctor.

I didn’t even get an appointment. I was instructed by my PCP to setup an appt at this office, and was very rudely turned away by the receptionist. Rather than discussing the issue with the Doctor who sent me, I received the brunt end of the attitude the receptionist had over it.

This is one of the very rare doctors that take the time to listen to patients’ concerns and collaborate with patients to find the best solutions for them. If you are looking for these qualities in your PCP, she’s the one for you.
