Very pushy-do not look out for the best interest of your child. See you for 5-10 mins and just give the standard. No personalized care and they don’t care if what they recommend is not right or harmful for your child! Completely advise against this practice!!!

I went to his father when I was young and now my children see him. He is a great doctor. Very friendly and personable. He listens to all of your concerns and does his best to cover all bases.

I think Dr. Chopra is excellent. My son sees him and we have no problem with him. My son seen Dr. Chopra's father and he was excellent also. He is following in his father's footsteps. Keep up the good work.
