The doctor is a good listener and communicator, which means a lot to me. I hate "human mechanics" who call themself doctors; all they do is ask for analysis and do not listen to the patient.

Dr. Chatha took time to listen to me and ask questions that helped drill down to some of the issues that I could have. He connected the dots between other medical boards issues I’m having and helped me understand how the two are possibly linked and the diagnosis part can work together.
