Dr. Tapan Kumar Chaudhuri, MD

My close friend, Anne Parsons made appointment for acupuncture and came to the reception area, at a time when receptionist was on the phones with two calls. Ms. Parsons had waited 10 minutes and when she went to the desk, she was cut off and talked too rudely, according to this patient, who has cancer and is hurting; my suggestion would have been for the receptionist to put her calls on hold or take a name and number and call them back, (that is what I do when I work computer phones in a huge center, and take care of the patient at the desk. This patient needed appointment for accupuncture. I am not sure if she continued after this. TY/jpd

and when you refuse or say no you do NOT want pain pills they tell you go get CBD. I went for accupuncture and xray, nothing else. Then I got the accupuncture done after Judy said my insurance covered it. Then I was billed for experimental procedures since they did NOT pre auth with my insurance. That cost me over $100 per session. Then when I call to pay my $7 balance Judy asked why I was upset with the Dr. and I let her know he told me to go get CBD Plus and was very specific on the brand. She said "what you wanted pain meds and he didnt give you pain pills?" I very plainly let her know I never wanted pain pills and thanks for the assumption and I actually had to have surgery to resolve my issues. Silence from the other end. Poor excuse for a Dr. in my first hand opinion. She also had the nerve to ask me to work for the Dr. Fixing their computers and I flat out refused. Stay away he has to be close to retiring anywho.

He saved my life in the late 70s when other physicians gave me 6 months to live. He found I had Crohn's Disease and helped me through it. He is a no nonsense kind of guy, but caring.

I have been seeing Dr. Chaudhuri for approximately 16 years. I have 100% faith in his abilities. He is thorough, thoughtful and kind. He looks at the big picture. He has helped me with everything from pneumonia, diabetes, to work related injuries. He will perform the appropriate diagnostic tests when necessary. I have never felt like he has rushed me or made me wait an inappropriate amount of time. In the few instances where I needed to see him because of an acute problem he got me in right away. I would recommend this doctor to my dearest friends. He is, as far as I am concerned, the best doctor that I have ever had. I'm originally from NY, but also lived in Washington, DC and I still feel Dr. Chaudhuri is the best. The people that he has working in his office are also exceptional; everyone from the receptionist to the nurses and aides.

Dr. Chaudhuri is an excellent doctor. He is always very friendly and cordial with me. I have visited him multiple times with different types of physical problem and he was always 100% right with his diagnosis.

Great doctor that even does accupuncture. I went to him originally for a herniated disc in my back. Accupuncture fixed it. He also is a regular doctor.

This was a very upsetting and infuriating so called visit. I waited for nearly two hours and then another 1/2 hour once in his office, to be told he could not treat me. He wanted to treat me for a condition that was already being handled by a specialist. I was furious and outraged when he told me to come back in 3mos to see if he could help me. In turn, he billed the insurance an outrageous amount for nothing. I am mortified that this Doctor can do such a thing and bill for healthcare that he did not even provide. How many others will he cheat as well? No wonder why health care is so expensive in our country. I would never recommend this Doctor!!!
