    You will see reviews describing impolite behavior by Mr Chandrashekar's front desk staff. I not…read moreonly noticed this during appointment scheduling calls, but that that staff lost intake paperwork I had submitted, and called the day before my appointment in an attempt to pressure me to change my appointment time so the office could close earlier. When I finally did see Dr Narendra Chandrashekar in person yesterday, for about thirty seconds, I was allowed to begin to attempt to describe the general context of the reasons motivating the consultation I had scheduled before he spoke over nearly every answer I attempted to give to his sharply worded questions. Thus, the man did not allow me to answer very basic and necessary questions about why I was in his office, who referred me, who my primary care provider was, what basic questions I had for a specialist specifically, the content of the lab results I had submitted, and what my primary care provider had said about the specific issues I had been referred to his specialty office to resolve. On this specific topic, for example, Mr Chandrashekar cut me off so many times when I attempted to very politely and briefly answer who my primary referring physician was, that, on the third attempt, he finally did allow me utter actually utter the name of the provider's business. Upon hearing this, he scowled and took time out of our visit to insult the provider as "whoever referred me to him" (people I attempted to identify to him three times without success due to the aforementioned behavior) as "incompetent" and "not knowing what they were doing" (again, without understanding basic information who they were or what they had done). He then claimed I had no primary care provider, another unhelpful statement I simply did not respond to in an effort to end the topic of discussion, and to hasten my departure from his office. Rather than allowing me to conduct the scheduled visit, Mr. Chandrashekar then focused on attempting to sell a second primary care provider to me. It was only during his attempts to sell me on choosing a primary care physician that Mr. Chandrashekar's demeanor was neutral rather than boorish. My strategy with the man then shifted to asking him, (between more interruptions) which lab work I could order myself in an attempt to salvage some value from the time I spent with Mr Chandrashekar, having been deprived of the consultation I had scheduled. His reluctant answers to my questions, however, need to be taken with great care and scrutiny, as they were not given in any context of understanding of the reasons for my visit beyond the first thirty seconds of my time with him. I obtained this information in an attempt to offer something to my primary care provider in the extremely limited context described here, one far short of the visit I had scheduled. Given these facts, I will, of course, not be seeing Mr. Chandrashekar or his staff again, and do hope others report similar behavior if they are so unlucky to experience it as well.
