I submitted my insurance information prior to my appointment. To wait over 1.5 hrs so they can verify my insurance is brutal and disrespectful of my time as well. I received an order for an MRI for my back and told to come back in two weeks. The fact that I had extreme debilitating that wouldn't be addressed didn't help matters.
April 23, 2016Constantina L.Verified patient
Very professional and understands your problem. I will continue seeing him as long as I am insured, will not switch to anyone else unless I have to.
April 28, 2016Richard S.Verified patient
The doctor took his time with me and spoke in detail regarding my back condition. Really appreciate his candor and positive attitude

Advertised as being in-network with Cigna Open Access Plus.
It's only when you receive the first insurance bill a month later that you find he's actually out-of-network and you get to pay the entire bill.
September 14, 2015Lee S.Verified patient
I could not believe that i was waiting in reception for so long. My appointment was at 230 and i wasn't even put in an exam room until 345. This has never happened before and normally I would not have been upset but I had an appointment with my shoulder surgeon at 345. I ended up missing that appointment and had to reschedule and the earliest he could get me in was two weeks later. And seeing my surgeon was much more important than my routine visit to Chunduri. I understand that sometimes doctors run behind but it would have been nice if someone had said that he was behind schedule. I could have rescheduled and made it to my more important appointment. Also I only needed to see Chunduri to pick up a prescription. I don't see why he couldn't have taken less than five minutes to write it and send me on my way.

Dr. Chunduri is the greatest physician that I have EVER seen!! Not only is Dr. Chunduri very smart and knowledgeable, but he also spends the necessary time with you to answer ALL of your questions. His bedside manner is just phenomenal!! The wait time can be a little long, but, you will be glad you waited. I don't know where I would be today if it weren't for Dr. Chunduri :)

Dr. Chunduri was wonderful. He put me at ease and made me feel that I was truly being heard. I had seen a different pain a management specialist before and I felt that dr Chunduri spent more time addressing my concerns in this initial visit than the other doctor did in all of my visits combined. I felt Dr. Chunduri and I had a conversation rather than I was lectured to. I appreciated his taking my educational background into consideration. It is very frustrating when a doctor does not do this and I feel I'm being talked down to.

He spoke with me for 30+ minutes and had a resonable plan. I thought he was a nice guy and I am hoping to work with on a long term basis.

I've been a patient of Dr. Chunduri's for a few months now. He listens throughly to what his patients are saying and then goes over what he believes to be the best treatment with you. I also noticed that when I have a appointment while waiting I talk with other patients of his and they agree that he's a excellent doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Chunduri. :-)

Great Doctor very professional very understanding. I would suggest to phone aheahead to see if he is running behind so u can plan your visit.
January 26, 2015Brian U.Verified patient
Dr. Chunduri is a great doctor...personable, informative, and very understanding. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends. The ONLY possible downside can be the wait time, which has been anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours for me depending on the day and location of the appointment. On the plus side, not only does he have office locations scattered across the city of Chicago, but he also holds appointments in the Northwest Suburbs, which is extremely thoughtful. In my own experience, the 1-2 hour wait times usually occur on the days he travels from the city to the suburbs (during rush hour mind you). I'm not one to complain when he goes out of his way to travel to his patients that live outside city limits, as you won't find many doctors willing to do this.

First visit. It went well.

I felt he was very thorough in assessing me. His questions were relevant to my situation. I felt that I was in good hands with Dr. Chunduri. He developed a sound plan to relieve my pain so that I can function in my life.
October 3, 2014Cindy B.Verified patient
Super nice, knowledgable doctor! Felt really comfortable in discussing my issue and he was spot on with my diagnosis. He explained everything and really made me feel secure in finally doing my long awaited epidural injections which I've been putting off. Did not feel rushed at all and made my appointment for the procedure the very next day.

June 23, 2014Donna G.Verified patient
Dr. Chunduri is a very kind doctor, and seems to care about keeping patients pain free. His staff is very kind and courteous, and has been flexible with scheduling. My only negative comment would be that he seems to be in a hurry if you have an appointment earlier in the day. Besides that, he's been very helpful and actually cares about finding a solution to pain, not just managing it.
