I had largely ignored my high blood pressure for years until my mother died early of a heart attack. I set up an appointment with Dr Kochar. His office is not in a large/fancy complex but dont allow this to make you think the care is not top tier and the most up to date available. Dr Kochar not only immediately ordered all testing, but he really took a detailed in depth look at my diet and lifestyle. I had never had this to this level and it was wonderful. After all the tests I ended up getting a heart catheterization which did reveal some minor build-up, but not to the point of needing a stent. Thank heavens I visited Dr Kochar; I have now radically changed my diet (because of what Dr Kochar brought to light) and I take my pills daily.

My first visit was a wonderful experience. Maria made me feel very comfortable because I was very nervous. The Dr. was extremely caring and very informative. Gave me all the time I needed and answered all my questions.

There was a considerable wait... but worth the time! I wouldn't change my Cardiologist (Dr. Kochar) for anything. As his patient for 4 years, he has taken a personal interest (and excellent) in my well being.
