I love Dr. Chara. She answers my question. She listens from me the best thing the most important thing at all she realizes that I'm a retired nurse and I do my own thing. I know my own labs. I know a whole lot about what's wrong with me and she lets me take care of things that I'm able to. That's the most important to me.

Dr. Acharya is an outstanding doctor. She is an excellent listener, asks appropriate follow-up questions and has always made a point about enquiring about my wife who suffers from advanced dementia (I am her caregiver). I appreciate her concern.

Doctor Acharya was very easy to communicate with even though she Is replacing my retired cardiologist. She listened to me and asked questions about my concerns. This was the first visit and it was not rushed although I feel I need to make another appointment to fully understand my health concerns. I am pleased with closing her as my former Dr's replacement.
