Dr. Chheda is fantastic - compassionate, kind, extremely intelligent, sharp (can connect the dots like you wouldn't believe on complex medical conditions) and good-humored. She is humble and she is all about her patients. She is not out there trying to be famous and build her brand (like many doctors in her space, who have this type of rare expertise) but instead focuses on treating her patients. She is generous with her time and care. She responds to emails (even sometimes when on vacation - which of course I don't think she should do since she needs her rest too!) and communicates quickly and thoroughly. She is always on the cutting edge of new treatments and stays up to date on the research.
Even though she is trained in Western medicine, she somehow has vast knowledge in a lot of integrative/functional/holistic treatments. She keeps an open mind, treats the whole person and has a dialogue with you. She doesn't give orders and write scripts and send you on your way. She actually checks in to see if you are willing to go through a treatment, how you feel about it, etc - knowing that compliance with treatment is often challenging and painful. You feel like she is your partner - which is how all people should feel about their doctors! Especially when managing a chronic and complex disease or condition.
I have spent extraordinary amounts of time, money, and energy trying to feel well. Unfortunately, I am an expert at being a patient so I know what I'm talking about here. Dr. Chheda has helped me find answers when no one could. For the record, I have moderate scoliosis (40% curvature with neurological complications) and other very painful spine degeneration issues, multiple autoimmune diseases, occipital neuralgia and a history of migraines - and likely as we are discovering together I may have POTS/MCAS/dysautonomia. She has helped me to figure out some common denominators to my multiple issues. I admire how her mind works - constantly thinking outside the box trying connect things that appear disparate on the surface but are actually related.
For reasons too detailed to get in here, I don't think her clinic can take standard insurance plans. But if you can afford it, I would highly recommend her. She is incredible!! I owe her so much. read more
