"He is by far the worst doctor I have ever interacted with, he is extremely rude, gets flustered very easily, and does not like to explain his reasoning. We had a televisit scheduled and he did not arrive, I had to call his office to remind them he had an appointment and then he called me. He ordered a suite of tests without explaining to my why they were needed and then started speaking very disrespectfully when I asked why these tests were needed. I told him I will get the tests done if you think they are necessary and he began to criticize me for saying "IF you think they are necessary" after I said multiple times I would get the tests done. I asked him what the next steps would be if he was unable to diagnose me after the tests and he became very aggravated and said maybe I should see another specialist instead. I told him multiple times throughout the call I had two more questions; what would be the next steps if he was unable to diagnose crohns and what would be the treatment options. ...
He told me there were no follow up questions and I had to argue with him to ask my questions. At one point during the call I had to tell him, I let you talk and you finish so now its my turn to talk and finish, because he constantly interrupted me and dismissed my concerns. He continually insisted he had already explained everything to me already, which he had not, and even after thanking him multiple times for explaining what was going on he was unable to control his emotions. His inability to controls his emotions, tone of voice, or offer reassurance was a completely baffling experience considering he's been in the field for many years If you do not trust my review, read the other reviews on health grades. The most recent reviews are negative and other patients have had similar experiences to my own. It doesn't make any sense why someone who doesn't get along with others, hates explaining himself, and can't control his emotions in a professional setting would become a doctor. "

"I recently had a procedure and was nervous. Dr Chahal came by before the procedure and kindly explained what will happen and eased my anxiousness. He‘s a good listener and has excellent follow through on what he says he is going to do. Dr Chahal and his outstanding team are all about providing patients their best care and quick response on questions. I highly recommend Dr Chahal (Gastroenterology). He has been my doctor for 4 years and has really improved my health. "

"Dr. Chahal is great !!! I am 54 years old and have seen Dr. Chahal for procedures and follow-ups numerous times over the last nine years before in private practice and with his private practice. He listens, concerned, ask the right question, provides a diagnosis but not a full diagnosis until he completes tests. He has an awesome attitude and awesome specialist bedside manners, and he is very accommodating and I will tell you why later. I saw Dr. Chahal approximately nine years ago. I was having abdominal issues at 44yrs old. I thought I was Lactose Intolerant. Dr. Chahal immediately ordered a lactose test, sugar test, and Flora or Gut bacteria test. After my results came back I was very pleased with identifying test results, I was not lactose intolerant or sugar. I had too much bad bacteria growth in the gut according to the tests. These issues I have had for over 10 years and every time any MILK products whether Italian restaurant or cereal....I was running to the bathroom ...
within 15 minutes......horrible. I had an overgrowth of bad bacteria and not enough good bacteria, the cause was due to Antibiotics (every year I would get a respiratory infection, but prescribing physicians never told me to take PROBIOTICS during and after the antibiotic, they never told me the Flora issues I would have and where Antibiotics kill Good and Bad bacteria then you get an overgrowth of more bad bacteria resulting in what seems like Lactose intolerance just because of Dairy). Dr. Chahal followed up by ordering Capsule Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, and Endoscopy. The Capsule Endoscopy where you swallow a pill that is a camera taking pictures every second of your digestive system. I was first denied by my insurance. Dr. Chahal went to argue the need with a Peer to Peer with my insurance and was able to get approved. At the end, I consumed Probiotics the kind in the refrigerated section in health food stores from 50 or 100 billion counts. The non-refridgerated stuff does not work. Now I always take Probiotics to start with any Antibiotics and after for approximately 30 days. Because Dr. Chahal identified my abdominal issues I never had an issue again with dairy products. Approximately five years ago I followed up due to age with Dr. Chahal and a colonoscopy was ordered. At the time the San Ramon, CA surgery center was only available for my dates. Well, I depended only on Google Maps, bad mistake. Google Maps took by to backside of Costco. Very frustrating where Google Maps not taking me to the surgery center location. Up and down the street, could not find....horrible. I called the surgery center, now I am like 10 minutes before my scheduled procedures. I asked for directions telling them the issue, Dr. Chahal gets on the phone and states he has to be at the hospital, but he will wait for me. I arrive exactly at the scheduled procedure time (You are supposed to be there I believe 45min before for prep, IV, etc). Dr, Chahal DID NOT cancel me and still see me when he was suppose to be at the hospital. Today, 05/12/2021 I have a procedure at a different surgery center with Dr. Chahal. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Chahal, and if there are any issues Dr. Chahal will find the issues and treat them. Trust me, I am very picky about all my physicians this includes specialists. I pick based on first, attitude, two, listens, three, a plan to treat, four, new medical knowledge and treatment. I cannot stand physicians that are arrogant, think they are better and I do not know as the patient, they only follow AMA and resistant to new medicine stuck in their paradigm of medicine from 30 years ago. I have a PPO medical plan so I can choose my providers and dismiss the ones where I know we will not work out as a physician/patient relationship. Dr, Chahal is also down earth, he is human, talks about real day-to-day happenings, etc. Most physicians do not do this nor do they have an interest they just want you in and out like a "
