Chandra was amazing like I said, his nurses are extremely rude. Even when I was making the appointment before we went in. I asked for a morning appointment and was told that is only the the "heart" patients even though my daughter is one. I told her my daughter was born with 3 heart murmurs that closed and she currently now has a spontaneous one that needed to be checked. I was told she was not a heart patient. The nurse snipped at my daughter for putting her sandals back on as she walked through the office from the scale to the room to get measured for her height. She has a wart on her foot and I felt it would be unsanitary for her to walk barefoot through the office. The nurse snipped at my daughter "I told you to leave your shoes off". My daughter cried when we got to our car and told me she never wants to go back. It was mostly one nurse who is extremely rude, snippy and aggressive. Year back his nurses have always been great.

Dr. Chandra and staff were great. Only thing I would note is I felt a little rushed during the appointment when speaking with Dr Chandra

We drive two hours to see him and got less than ten minutes of his time. It felt rushed. I felt like we were not an intriguing case and he had better things to do. It felt like a lot of assumptions were made. His treatment recommendations are all things we have been doing for a year and she’s not any better. I feel like we were not heard.
