He will get angry about you having the type of insurance that allows you to make a appointment without a referral. He’s rude and he and he will not listen because he’s to busy talking over you and He’s comfortable and fears no accountability from higher authority and the other doctors are terrified of him… Let that sink in. Basically, If you are not looking to be discriminated against find another place

During our appointment he was in a hurry, felt more interested in priding himself that he actually read my chart than in listening to my health concerns. Was generally rude and didn’t provide valuable feedback on how to deal with my medical issue. Did give a diagnosis which I am skeptical of so I am going to a different doctor.

Ive been seeking help for years for my combination of skin disease and arthritis. Hes the first Doctor that listened to me completely and appropriately gave me the appropriate treatment. Ive been happily seeing him for years now and am ever grateful to be relatively pain free.

Dr Chokkalingam cured me. He is Great !He is so professional !So glad I came to see him.He will get you feeling better.Knows what he`s talking about.Very smart man.

The WORST dr I have ever seen! Kept bring up my Dry Mouth which I could have cared less about. Interrupted me and literally NEVER let me speak. Told me I was crazy for wanting a second opinion because the Dr I was seeing was a great Dr. His nurse and another person working for him came in to hug me and apologized for him treating me so badly. Waste of time he’s a worthless Dr!

I met with him for a second opinion, but he was rude and berated me for not believing the first doctor. My goal was to ensure Im not taking unnecessary medication, and since I was recently diagnosed with a new disease after years of a misdiagnosis to ensure another doc agrees. He stated diet and lifestyle will have zero affect of inflammation, which I have found to be very incorrect. He was not friendly toward a new patient, and kept misstating what I had just told him. He said I should not be asking for medicine based on commercials I see on TV, which is something I have never done. I was concerned with the side effects of the recommended drugs, and he said I should not do my own research and just take them as prescribed. We were waiting on prior test results to be faxed over from another office, but he suggested we just do our own tests outside of the follow-up schedule with my current Rheumatologist. He may be a fine doctor, but he is not for me. His FNP, Cheryl McGowan, was wonderful, and Im surprised she tolerates working under him.
