Dr Chaudhury is excellent, he's very personable, explains perfectly, and listens. Last year this time I was in SICU after the team at CC truly saved my life. He and his team are my heroes. My family is forever grateful and I'm a nurse, so it's worse, because I understood all that he was explaining. My situation could have had another outcome--I thank him and his team(s) members daily.

I was scheduled for an office visit, but the Doctor quickly worked to get me scheduled for an echocardiogram that day, and then made time for me later in the day to meet again to discuss results of the test and define a care plan. I was extremely impressed as I had traveled from Michigan in inclement weather for this appointment and Dr. Chaudhury was extremely accomodating. This was unexpected and greatly appreciated.
