Joke of a doctor. Downright negligent. I worry about others in his care that don't know any better. Abrupt exam--not at all thorough. He literally touched my thyroid with one finger and said "thyroid is fine." I had pain in a joint and wanted an xray but he wouldnt allow it. Instead he referred me to a SURGEON (one of his buddies?). I went to a new PCP who, through physical exam, told me it was very clear I had a strained ligament. Obviously, Dr. Pat Chira doesnt KNOW how to do a proper exam or he would have come to the same conclusion. When I went back to pick up my medical records the following week, he asked to take my blood pressure. I said, what for? I think he wanted to be able to bill my insurance for an exam. I wouldnt let him. I just picked up the paperwork and never looked back. What a joke. His brother is even worse. Steer clear!
