Vijayaratna Chockalingam, MD

My appt was on time. The back office was nice. Dr. C. listened to my concerns and came up with a plan and scheduled a follow-up. Very comfortable visit.

I was very disappointed. She did not ask any questions about me and my history. She just ran through a list of yes/no questions. I did not feel any compassion from her.

I was very impressed with Dr Chockalingam, she listened to me, ran tests and understood my issues. Only problem i had was spelling and pronouncing her name.. I really loved her!

PATIENTS BEWARE Dr. Chockalingam is supposed to be a specialist for diabetes but she didn't tell me anything more than I already knew. She contradicted herself many times and told me it was ok to eat certain foods that I know will put me in a diabetic coma. I have specific diabetic needs and concerns which she dismissed. I expected to be treated like an individual not like every other diabetic. I traveled 200 miles and wasted me time.

Dr. Chockalingam and her staff are excellent in all they do. She takes time to listen. Her staff is courteous. The Dr. follows up after vists to ask about my progress and to gently nudge me to stay on top of the goals we've set. She is a very competent and caring physician.
