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.

His bedside manner is atrocious! He gives you the feeling that he's better than you and knows it all!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Chechani?
Absolutely the worst doctor and staff. I'm an established patient and cannot get an appointment even when I have an infection. When I call the office they tell me to go to the ER or clinic. When I have gone to the clinic, I call Chechani office back for checkup and they tell me they can't get me in for over a month. It's ridiculous. He's more concerned about this sleep patients than being a lung doctor. When I did get in to see him, he doesn't let you talk and gets angry if you ask questions.
