Dr. Alla Chesky, MD

the second this doctor walked into the room, i knew i was changing my doctor. I haven’t been at the doctors 2 years prior to this visit, i was concerned about a few things so i was really excited to get checked out. She isn’t very welcoming, and just clicks away at her computer.. robot like behavior. doesn’t seem like she really cares about your concerns. she asked me if i wear a seatbelt when i drive.. i wasn’t sure why that’s a concern for her. She told me she couldn’t check my throat, due to Covid.. she’s very dismissive. My blood work took forever to come back. I had to keep calling to remind them i didn’t get results. When she called me days later with the results, she basically brushed me off and said everything was fine without giving me the comfort of asking her questions that i had. I’m not sure if she’s like this all the time or maybe had a bad day, but as a Doctor this kind of behavior is not very nice or comforting. It was a quick & unpleasant visit, I would not… recommend her.

Dr. Chesky is the only doctor I have ever known who brings her personal complaints to office visits. Her manner is distant. Her interactions are like a robot's. I sincerely believe this woman does not enjoy patient care. I left her practice.

Terrible terrible attitude. This was my first time meeting her and she came in the room without even saying hello or introducing herself. She did not smile once. I said "Are you the doctor?" because I wasn't even sure. She just said "Yes." She then looked at my chart on the computer and said "You're gonna have a stroke." in a very arrogant tone. She was so negative and she frightened me so badly I had to get out of there before even being examined. If you're a lower middle class woman from Bridgeport like me, beware of coming to this office. I used to see the other doctor at this practice and he treated me in a very very uncaring way. I was told that I can never go back there, and that's fine by me.

I saw Dr. Chesky on several occasions and am deeply impressed by her diagnostic skills, bedside manners, and the desire to get to the root of the problem. She is never hurried, listens carefully and is on top of the recent developments in her field. In short, she is somebody you can trust.

I don’t even know where to begin. Dr. Chesky is one of the kindest, most thoughtful and caring doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of being seen by. I’ve been to countless that were dismissive, didn’t listen, or didn’t take my symptoms seriously. She took the time to learn about me, what I’ve been through in trying to figure out what’s wrong, and gave me more time than I’ve ever been given when seeing others. She truly cares, thorough, thoughtful, follows up, and doesn’t make me come in to discuss my results unless it’s imperative and not a conversation we can have over the phone. She takes the time to call and inform and talk through next steps. It almost feels like consulting with a trusted family member and not just a physician. I’ve made my husband switch to her as his primary care. I’ve recommended so many friends to see her and they’ve all switched after one visit. Please do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with her, you won’t regret it.

First the scale in office must be broken. Weighed me almost 20lbs than I actually am. (Which I confirmed on two separate scales) Therefore changed my bmi and then the doctor said there was no concern for my high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and fast heart beat. Because I want overweight. Ha! I am unfortunately. No help on why eating healthy and working out with a personal trainer 4 times a week isn't helping me loose weight. Wouldn't send me to a nutritionist or endocrinologist to help. Ignored all my concerned. Told me I didn't need to start a smoking cessation, that I could do it on my own. Insisted I tell everyone around me to quit smoking instead of finding a viable option to help me quit. A complete and utter waste of time.

Dr is rude, arrogant and incompetent. Missed the correct diagnosis completely. A second opinion at Yale confirmed a second year medical student could have made the correct diagnosis. This Dr has worked at six different practices and had a number judgments against her. Beware!

I had an initial visit with this doctor. I found her thorough, conscientious, knowledgeable, professional but caring about patients.
