    Dr. Kochar always gives me new information and discusses interesting aspects of research and treatments of the disease. She also integrates other aspects, such as my recent orthopedic surgery and relates it to my overall health. I am very fortunate to have her as my doctor.

    Dr. Kochar has been an A plus provider from the first day I met with her about my health condition-IBS-which was very painful & impaired me from doing what I normally do. Not only is she very intelligent & excellent at what she does, she cares very much for her patients-their thoughts about their condition & their pain. Also, I've learned a lot about another way to help this malady-meditation. This also has proved helpful. Lastly, her staff is A plus too. I've met personally and talked by phone to many people over the years and they are all polite, caring and knowledgeable. And if they don't know the answer, they find the person who does. It doesn't get any better than that!

    Dr. Kochar is one of very few providers I've had who always listens to me and understands and acknowledges my complicated medical history without making me feel like it's my fault or too much work to deal with. She's very professional but also welcoming and warm. I would recommend her very highly.
