The Doctor listened to everything I said and I didn't feel rushed at all which is sometimes rare when visiting a doctor. I have felt rushed at some appointments and felt as if the doctor had other things on their mind. I didn't feel that way at this appointment.

I didn't have a heart attack or stroke! Aug. 2025 Dr. Acharya listened to my issues and immediately decided I needed a cath the next week. And if I had any severe issues to go to ER. Her recognizing my condition & acting on that knowledge SAVED MY LIFE.

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.

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.
