Is a more medical doctor and doesn't really have people skills. Rushes patients at times out of impatience, doesn't fully address patient concerns, and the PA who works there is a real piece of work. She gaslights patients who "call too much". The PA told me that it was just "in my head/stress" when I had kidney stones. I won't be returning to that office. While Dr. Chawla is an excellent surgeon, he needs to work on people skills and addressing patient questions & concerns fully.
