Patient Reviews
Jan 06, 2025
Dr. Chakilam and the np are great providers & always listen to all my concerns & answer all the questions i may have. All of these reviews about the office staff or about scheduling tend to forget that Dr Chakilam is a specialist office & not some walk-in clinic. i would assume that everyone is a stat patient due to them needing to see a lung specialist so when the suggestion to go to the Er is given then that means you are more ill than being able to come into the clinic. I have been in the waiting room & have heard stories of patients also waiting for their appts, some have critical news & some are there for a simple cough that a pcp can handle. Majority of these complaints & reviews about the staff being rude are from grown adults whom are indeed very rude themselves & act like spoiled brats when they do not get their way. i have also witnessed first hand the way these adult patients treat the office staff. My interactions with the office staff have always been pleasant and helpful.
