Dr. Shekhar Kumar Challa, DO

He is very experienced Gastroenterology dr. But very poor time management and always in a hurry. Because he has other patients waiting. Huge miss communication among the staff. What patient say will not get the dr and what dr suggest or prescribe will not be given to patients. Dr hardly gives time to talk, he only comes to prescribe the medicine.

He's smart, he knows what he's doing, but he is in a hurry, has too many patients, and doesn't have time to explain anything. I have seen his compassionate side, but it is rarely exhibited because he is so overworked. Yet he values promptness - I hardly ever have to wait on him. Get the last appointment of the day and he will be more friendly and open to explaining things. Get the first appointment of the day, whether a procedure or a office visit, and expect quickness & efficiency, and dialogue that will take less than a minute.
