Both the doctor and the nurse were absolutely outstanding. They represent honesty, integrity, and happiness. The way they explain everything to you. I got such a big kick out of the nurse who was so fantastic. Dr. Chowdhry reassured me that my aneurysm is fine and I have so much respect for him the way he approaches the conversations and the great ability to sit there and listen when you have questions and answer them properly. What a fabulous man he is God bless all of you and I hope you have a great experience like I had today if you go to Dr. Chowdhry and that beautiful nurse that took care of us. What a great person she was also.!!!!
