My Husband and I had been patients of Dr. Chekuri from 2007 to 2014 at Straub Hospital in Honolulu, HI, prior to us moving to California in 2015. Dr. Chekuri has excellent bedside manners, is an excellent listener, compassionate, completely professional, conducts thorough exams/tests prior to giving an absolute prognosis, and is excellent at following up with her patients. We've been living out here in southern California for the past two years and we still can't find a good primary doctor like Dr. Chekuri. We miss her dearly!!! To us, she's the BEST we've come across and we highly recommend her to anyone living on Oahu!!!
In regards to the 2 previous Yelp reviews:
Akamai1 - I couldn't imagine Dr. Chekuri providing such poor service to any of her patients, as we have never experienced that out of the 7 years we've seen her. I am so very sorry for the experience you had to endure and pray that you have a quick recovery.
Kanoe N Kawika K - Shouldn't the poor review be directed at Naomi the RN and not at Dr. Chekuri? There are several staff members that run the front desk (not necessarily directly under Dr. Chekuri) conducting check-ins and setting appointments, as there are several internal medicine doctors in this department as a whole. However, I am assured that Dr. Chekuri's direct assistant who does not sit out at the front desk, Kit (not sure who it is presently) will make you feel very comfortable when arriving and pleased with your visit when leaving. I know for a fact that Dr. Chekuri would never tolerate her direct assistant to be rude in any way to any of her patients. Hope and pray you are feeling better and are rid of your pneumonia. read more
