Dr. Chitoor S Govindaraj, MD

Dr. Raj, is very patient, thoughtful and extremely thorough in his evaluation of your medical needs. He listens to his patients and is never dismissive of their concerns. An excellent physician.

The doctor might know have good skills as a doctor. The problem he has diagnosed 2 times wrong. His hours are limited to one day a week for 4 hours late evening hours from 4-8 which means you cannot get an exray, meds, etc as a PRIMARY DOCTOR. He has a awful bedside manner. Screams and gets annoys on a simple question if the patient has COPD. Turns his head annoys and get very excited why you are speaking with him with respect. I was shocks, Nervious and upset without raising my voice. It was his voice. I only accompany a now sick relative. When this relative was healthy, of course everything was fine with him. As a primary doctor that must give out referral to visit an Orthopedist, cardiologist, he is not the man for it. Most of his patients do not have anything serious with him and so it’s easy to be friendly with him because all he does then is check your monitor he gives you your blood test and gives you tests that do not involve or have anything to do with your illnesses or your… complaints. Like nerve conduction test this will be his second one in a year for no reason at all since he has no spinal or nerve problems. Orthopedist, cardiologist, he is not the man for it.

Like nerve conduction test this will be his second one in a year for no reason at all since he has no spinal or nerve problems Terrible in filling papers filling out since he hours are short out if he is your primary doctor if you need help for assistance with filling out forms for Recertify for home attendant/ housekeeping Access A ride For special needs patients. This patient has had these services for over 25 years. His meds update in the computer were two years behind even though I gave him all other doctors’ reports signifying any all updates on meds and his condition. And we’re scanned in his computer and yet has no idea. Then gets upset that the computer was not updated by him and yells at me that he must get a report from a doctor. I would give him the report visit with signified all his meds and his problem listed. If he’s looking for the doctors notes he must himself request it personally from one doctor to another and as a primary health doctor. On a last note he did not want to fill out or write a letter as to why he still should continue Access A Ride due to the fact he must put in a his heart condition. Ice said to him I understand that you do not want to do it it is your right and I was going to go to his cardiologist he kept going and going and telling me stuff why he still shouldn’t do it. His problem was he should’ve just kept his mouth shut as I have already stated that I understand and respect his wishes I guess he Thank that I understood. And as he was speaking he brought on more points which unfortunately for him I work for the place that does the a valuation and assessment and I know what they do and yes he knows what they do as a doctor but I did not tell him that all I said is I know that place he got annoyed through the papers at me and I told him I will change doctors only because he threw the paper at me not because he didn’t want to fill out the excess any forms which is understandable for any doctor if they do not believe it’s there right. Think that I understood.

Of course if you break your leg severely and he refers you as a primary doctor for your insurance to an orthopedist and they must amputate your leg off a bit and you go to rehab and completed the surgeon will discharge you. You must go to your primary doctor now to get help not the surgeon to fill out forms so in this case this primary doctor just doesn’t want to fill out forms in the four hours he’s there unless you’re a healthy patient. By the way his other two doctors will be filling out the forms for us and not with any animosity arrogance see and incompetency. Just for the racquet I was calm and did not raise my voice since I am looking at a man who was out of line and this is my job prior to retiring speaking and having meetings with people who are who have this kind of personality and so I know how to keep my calm and wits about me. My husband was a palled and lucky he does not call to say to ever throw anything or race or scream at anybody at anytime for any reason.
