Patient Testimonials

SWAN Patient
He is the best!!!!! I was very scared going to visit Dr. C as I had a brain aneurysm. The first doctor I saw seemed to want to cut my head open to fix it and was really pushy. He also sounded like a robot and wouldn't listen to my concerns. Dr. C made me feel at ease and answered all my questions. he didn't rush me and even asked if there were any other questions myself or my husband had and didn't stand up until we didn't have anymore! Even better, the surgery went so well and I went home the next day and was able to attend my daughter's wedding out of state the following week without any scars! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. C!!!!! God bless you!

Dr. Chowdhary is professional but friendly. He answered any and all questions that I had, as well as the questions of my loved ones. I had many questions after my MVD surgery, and Dr. Chowdhary's staff was as kind and accommodating as Dr. Chowdhary himself. Everyone made sure that I was comfortable and well taken care of. My in-office checkup appointments after the surgery have been nothing but pleasant, and I appreciate the doctor's patience in answering all of my questions.

Without hesitation I would highly recommend Dr. Chowdhary. He by far, exceeded any expectations I had in finding a physician that would help me make this journey one of ease, by providing confidence to the options we had available. I had multiple "second opinions" and was certain he was best, to perform spinal surgery, for my spinal stenosis and unstable spine. Throughout this unfortunate road of pain that brought me to a point a surgery was necessary, I was very fortunate in near 100% recovery.

Dr. Chowdhary helped me in a trauma situation where I had no idea what was happening nor why. He explained exactly what to expect, what complications were possible, what to expect post-surgery. His bedside manner was amazing considering I was freaking out. The surgery was a success and I’m about to be released from the rehabilitation center Saturday, just 8 days post surgery. I can’t thank him enough!
SWAN Patient
If I could, I’d give Dr Chowdhary 10 stars! He deserves it. Wow, he was professional & also had the best sense of humor. He made me feel heard, and not dumb for asking questions. He explained things so that I could understand clearly. He took his time with me. He also explained exactly what needed to be done and what the result would be and why, with zero pressure to jump to surgery. He told us to think about it. The office staff was incredible, friendly, kind, and they greeted me when I walked through the door. I find that rare these days. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Chowdhary & his team

I had a pinched nerve in m y neck that was affecting all aspects of my life. I couldn't play golf or even hod my children up. I saw four doctors before Dr. Chowdhary who either would do injections or offer me a fusion. He explained to me while all of these options have some benefit, because I was younger and active, he thought a disc replacement would be a better option. Boy, was he right! Im back to playing with my kids and being painfree! Thank you from our entire family, especially my wife who doesn't have to hear me complaining anymore and my kids who have their dad back!
