Dr. Chowdhury has an excellent bedside manner, besides that he is dedicated to following up on his patients to ensure they are doing well and making sure that all medications are properly called in to your pharmacy. He has an awesome, friendly personality and he makes you feel at ease in his presence. I would recommend him highly to anyone seeking a G. I. doctor.

Dr Chowdhury is an excellent G.I. doctor, I’ve been seeing him for my Crohn’s disease for about 15 years. He has an excellent , caring personality. I would recommend him to anyone who seeks an excellent, caring capable doctor that works hard and strives to keep his patients as healthy as possible.

I've had colonoscopies since 1988 and when my doctor retired I was referred to Wake Gastroenterology and I chose Dr. Chowdhury. I had my colonoscopy yesterday and I am very well pleased ! He is caring, listened to my concerns and gave me a correct diagnosis. I highly recommend Dr. Chowdhury.

This was my husband’s first appointment with Dr. Chowdhury and we could not have been more pleased. It was apparent that he read my husband’s medical history before he came into the examining room. He is clearly a doctor that is well prepared for his patient consultation. He listens and engages in a give and take conversation. His medical game plan gave us great comfort.

This doctor created an issue for me. His remedy is to simply give you medications that cause more harm than good. It is easy for him to use a medical procedure and then prescribe a pill for life, rather than take the time to properly determine what is really causing the health issue. Think before you allow him to treat your health needs.

This Doctor did not spend enough time to properly diagnosis my problem. He then took medical procedure which created a totally different problem for me and never discussed the risk or details prior to the procedure. He spent very very little time on the visit and showed no concern for my sitiuation afterwards. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.
