Highly recommended

It was great! He listened to what was on my mind just as any PCP should and recommended based on his experience along with what I scored on the survey that I filled out in the waiting room. His means of practice appear to be honest, practical and quite logical.

Excellent visit
March 2, 2020Christina F.Verified patient
I avoided making a much needed appointment for a very long time, partially due to a string of negative experiences with a previous provider. Finally making an appointment was a big deal for me but I did it and I’m glad that I did. I had a positive experience with this guy. I would and have recommended this Dr. to others. I will be returning.

Dr. Kochar was a delight to visit. I was needing a new doctor and, at my first appt, he took a long time to discuss my current issues, make recommendations, change medication where applicable and provide timelines for follow up. Really thorough and it turns out my sister sees him also and my wife is making an appt also.
