“I had the best experience with Dr. Chakilam today. I am making her my PCP. She was friendly, comforting, totally present for me in the appointment. She was not hurried, she looked me in the eye and really listened. She helped me more than she knows. Excellent bedside manner. My son will also be going to Dr. Chakilam in the future. I trust her completely.

Dr. Chalikam was my first experience on Zocdoc. I was nervous initially and maybe even skeptical, but upon having my telehealth appointment with her I immediately felt at ease. Dr. Chalikam is knowledgeable, understanding, communicative, and very supportive! I would definitely see her again in for future needs ! Thank you Dr. Chalikam.
