Showed up to his office for a scheduled appointment and noticed the room was full of patients waiting to see the Dr. After 1 hour I over heard the staff saying that the Dr had not even arrived yet. With 6 patients waiting over an hour and he was no where to be found. I ended up leaving and coming back 3 hours later and was finally seen. While I was discussing my upcoming colonoscopy with the Dr, he started dozing off... It appeared he might have been on some type of medication. It was very weird. I felt super uncomfortable. Was I going to trust this man in surgery falling asleep???? I decided to read some reviews to give him the benefit of a doubt and I was shocked and terrified by what I read. Please do some research before you let this man make a horrible mistake with your health or your life. I will be reporting this to my insurance company. They need to be aware of their recomendations.

Dr. Chopra was 1/12 hours late. Never spoke with me and "fogot" the throat spray that precedes and numbs the throat for the Endoscopy. Did a simultaneous colonoscopy without the worst stomach cramps imaginable. I have COPD and he said he couldn't put me out enough. No other doctor has had this issue. My wife wanted and requested to speak with him after the procedure but he wouldn't. I will see him for the follow-up just to tell him what I think but would never see him for treatment.

This Dorctor has the worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever seen. He performed a liver biopsy on me and before the medicine could kick in he performed the biopsy. It was very painful. He treated me with no dignity or respect. Complete loser and he should go back to the third world county that he is from and practice.

Went in for a colonoscopy, this doctor never even introduced himself to me or reassure me or explain to me what was going to happen during the procedure or what to expect. I was told I would be given Demoral as a sedative for this procedure. It was not until he was half way thru my intestines and me screaming in pain that he finally told the nurse to give me more medicine. This man should not be practiing medicine in my opinion. His nurses are rude in his office and nothing was explained to me. If the drug used was not for putting me out before the procedure, I should have been informed by at least his staff if not him. He never even uttered a word to me directly thur this whole procedure. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a Dr. and will stay in my memory for a long long time. I cannot believe the Medical Group I use even recommends this guy for anything. I would not take my dog to him let alone have a human being see him for anything.

Was hospitalized by him where I never saw him unless I called his office and demanded he come come to the hospital. The nurses told me he does not do rounds like other Drs. He does them in the weeee hours of the morning wile you are sleeping so he does not have to deal with you and your questions. He had me on very high dose of pain killers then instead of weaning me off he discharged me to rehab. I DO NOT have a drug problem. He thinks he is God and we patients are lucky to have him. Just wait till he meets the real God!!!
