Friendly staff. Usually very little wait time. Knowledgeable and thorough. He listens to your issues. If he doesn't know the answer or have expertise in an area he will refer you to a specialist. Glad he is my family doctor.

Dr. Chaudhari's been my GP since Dr. Jaciw retired at the same facility. He's young, seems very knowledgeable and has a pleasant, soft-spoken manner. He speaks to reassure me that nothing is serious when I feel worried about some new that turns out to be minor.

He asks questions and gives answers in a straight-forward manner. He will express concern if he sees results that are out of spec and then sends me for tests when required. He's referred me to appropriate specialists and to tests including CT Scan, Ultrasounds, X-Rays and blood work. Sometimes it's a long wait on his referrals but it's not his fault. The Ontario medical network lacks many skilled personnel and some of the rarer specialists are a very long wait (i.e. psychiatrists, dermatologists, ENTs, gastroenterologists) because of their scarcity and workload.

Whenever I've had an issue with a prescription, he's been able to find an alternative and it's always been an acceptably better. He's even been kind enough to fill a prescription for me while on his holiday by having my pharmacist text him! That right there should tell you something about his dedication to his patients.

For these reasons and more, I've kept him as my family physician despite moving away to a city 2 hours away. His assistant Debbie is very accommodating and will squeeze in an appointment if urgent.

As others have mentioned, he does take extra time with patients to allay their fears and fully explain a diagnosis, hence, he can be late. But it's to your benefit as he extends this courtesy to all his patients. I never mind the wait because of the quality of his care.

I really appreciate Dr. Chaudhuri's efforts on my behalf and will stay with him as long as he's available.

Has been my doctor for years …saved my life in 2021 by recommending I have an ultrasound regardless of the problem I had being resolved. That exam found a potentially lethal aneurysm! He’s the best ! Has always solved any medical issue I’ve had.

Although he is a nice guy, he does not have enough integrity to say no to CPSO's draconian an unethical measures and protocols on Covid.

When I was a resident in Whitby, Dr Chaudhari was my family doctor. My daughter still goes to him. Excellent doctor, without hesitation! Staff are friendly and capable. We need more like him.

I've been a patient of Dr. Chaudhari for many years now. Dr. Chaudhari is one of the best family doctors I've had. He asks lots of probing questions, he's not quick to prescribe drugs, and when he doesn't know an answer refers you for tests or to a specialist.

Some days you may have to wait to see him, that's because he takes the time to listen to his patients and not rush them out of the office.

When you have an urgent concern/issue his staff work hard to fit you in the same day or the next day. He's very personable, and approachable.

Overall He's one of the best family doctors I have. If you are able to have him as your family physician you are in good hands.

After reading some comments on here, I felt compelled to write a review. Dr. Chaudhari has always been the best family dr. I have had. If he does not know the answer, does not hesitate to refer me to someone who can help. If I have more than one issue, I always ask him if he has time to hear it. He always has my best interest in mind. His staff is #1 as well.

It's all about $$$$$ for him. He used to be a great Doctor however I always feel rushed and get told to make another appointment if I have more than one problems. He doesn't go back on his notes and has made so many mistakes in diagnosing a problem. Sorry Dr. you are not who you were years ago. Stop thinking about $$$ and start caring about your patients. I am currently searching for another JP.
