It was excellent
Verified patient
I really liked this doctor, but I was not impressed by the office admin. I filled out paper work, and then waited almost an hour (in an almost empty office) only to be ushered back by an assistant and asked the same questions I had filled out in the paperwork! They staff didn't seem a bit concerned that I was waiting, and the paperwork process was inefficient and a big waste of everyone's time.
Verified patient
Dr. Chahal was trans friendly which was a breath of fresh air. She was super clear with her explanations of everything and really great to receive care from.
Wonderful service and appointment. Very impressed by her manner and professionalism. Very relatable and was concerned with things more than just her speciality.
Verified patient
Dr. Chahal was extremely professional, but easy to talk to. She seemed honest and cared deeply about her patients. I would definitely recommend her office to a friend!
Dr. Chahal is an outstanding physician who takes the time to listen to her patients' concerns and understand the whole picture. I have complex health issues that fed into my cardiology visits and Dr. Chahal helped to tie it all together and even offered to contact my other specialists to discuss treatments to make sure everyone was on the same page. I really appreciate both her compassion and intelligence and wish there were many more doctors like her!
Verified patient
She was clear, concise, professional, up to date and I felt that I was in the best of hands! Dr Chantal took her time with me. She carefully spelled out a therapeutic and a diagnostic plan that is cutting edge but also doable by a 66 year old guy with deeply entrenched life styles! I feel she will understand my failures and applaud my successes with her outline for my cardiac health. I can’t wait to get started!
Verified patient
Dr. Chahal was a breathe of fresh air in today’s hurried world. She was professional, informative and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her if you need a cardiologist.

My Primary Care physician wanted me to see a cardiologist. I did my reasearch and decided to see Dr. Chahal because of her positive reviews. Everything I read about Dr. Chahal was correct. I felt at ease and confident immediately. I was glad I found Dr, Chahal and will continue my care with her.

Verified patient
Dr Chahal and her office staff, from the front desk agent to the patient care technician, far exceeded my expectations. Dr Chahal is not only a kind person, but she is WICKEDLY intelligent and up to date with the best practices for managing patients with heart issues. Personally, her bedside manner is second to none, insuring I understood her explanations to give me peace of mind. I couldn't have been happier!
Verified patient
Dr. Chahal is an excellent personable communicator, who patiently answers questions, imbuing me with confidence that she’s the best!
Verified patient
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Chahal. She listened, was personable, explained tests and possible results as well as types of treatment options, and indicated when I would hear from her and how long test results take. She even made me laugh. The nurse/technician was less personable but efficient, and the front desk staff were friendly and efficient.
Very satisfied on all fronts.
Verified patient
I really like Dr. Chahal. This is the second appt I have had with her. I even had a procedure done at Washington Hospital Center after my first appt with her, and she came to check on me before I went under. She explains things in depth so you can understand what's going on, and isn't quick to push you to make decisions right away. I recommend, hands down..
Verified patient
I love her
Verified patient
She is wonderful! It is the first time we don’t feel rushed by a doctor. She is also very knowledgeable. The front staff is great too!!
Dr Chahal was very professional during my first visit to discuss my cardio-logical situation. She impressed me with her intellect and medical knowledge. She also was interested in my case to the point that she wanted me to understand my medical problems as well as the best ways to improve my health. She spoke in clear, simple terms and welcomed my questions and feedback. She was positive and optimistic more like an athletic coach than a high school principal scolding me for my poor lifestyle habits. I welcome that and look forward to being her patient.
Verified patient
