I think Dr Chochan is it excellent doctor. She listens to me and pays attention to my concerns, answers all my questions, is very warm and friendly and relatable but of course more importantly she knows her business. I have specific rare genetic Auto inflammatory disease that most doctors are not familiar with and she has helped me to manage it and made the changes necessary to make the medications work better for me. I never feel rushed. She takes her time with me and always shows concern.
