She obviously has a truck load of experience and is probably very capable. I dont have a long standign relationship with her either (I just couldnt). Women these days need an OG/GYN doctor who shares her excitement and calms her down when needed. Someone who is able to give her personalized care and not treat her as a "patient". Atleast thats what I was looking for. There is a difference between speaking your mind and being rude. I found her to be later.

This doctor is very straight forward. She is rude. When i visited her for the first time, i told her about my problem of irregular periods, she didnt pay attention to it , instead she asked me to see a specialist straightway. Anyways, i dont think one should wait for her appointment and visit her. She boosts about her 4000 existing patients. She said she is very busy taking care for them.. she doesnt have time to solve my problem... why did the hospital opened her appointment if she is that busy. she should nt accept new patients. My advice is to go for another doctor..

So,here is my experience with the lady. This was my first and last visit.1) Came 35 minutes late. Instead of saying Sorry,she told me that I am meeting a very busy person( As if we have all the world's time to see here and do no pay anything for visiting her)2) The very first question from her: Why did you come here. Everything is written online, if you ever had chance to go online and visit my homepage.( Have you ever a doctor saying that ..that too so rudely that i actually stated crying)3. i wanted blood tests. But according to her, i looked health to her and i dont need any examination.SO, PLEASE ALL LADIES,THINK 100 TIMES BEFORE YOU CHOOSE HER AS A DOCTOR.

She is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life. I was so shocked to hear when she asked me "why did you come to me , but not to Dr.XYZ? Do you think I can do more that what Dr.XYZ can do ?" Is this what you expect from a Doctor on your first visit? She has also mentioned that "you can complain about me" , my guess is she is in a stage , where career ratings wouldn't really affect her, so arrogant.I would never recommend any one to her.

Dr Chandavarkar has been my OBGYN over 10 years. She is caring and wonderful. She is the main reason I stayed with Kaiser.
