Dr. Chandra performed a successful appendectomy for me using the laproscopic method. His bedside manner left much to be desired during my post-op visit, however.

Dr. Chandra performed a hernia operation on my husband as an outpatient. When it came time for the outpatient department to close and send patients home (or admit to hospital), my husband had not urinated since the surgery. The nurse on duty and I know from just common sense that no one is sent home from a surgery until he/she urinates (the bladder has to 'wake up'). The nurse called Chandra for authorization to use a cathedar to drain my husband's bladder (which was begininning to feel full); Chandra denied the authorization and told her to send my husband home. Of course, my husband was thrilled. Who wants to be cathedarized? I asked her to please call him back. She clearly very reluctant. So I asked her if he yelled or was rude to her on the phone. She nodded yes. I asked her to dial the number and put me on the phone. She said that she couldn't do that so she called and said the wife wanted him to authorize the cathedar. Chandra said no. I brought him home.
Surprise, surprise. About 2 -3 hours later my husband was crying and doubled up in pain from his bladder being so full. I rushed him to the ER at Tarzana where he was immediately catherdarized to relieve the bladder.
(The next day he was fine and urinated on his own). What a useless ordeal because Chandra did not use common sense and is a difficult doctor for the nurses.

I've always thought that a doctor has resposobilities of looking after his patients but most importantly prioritizing for their safety and well being .Well this was NOT the case with this particular DOCTOR Chandra. This case happened some years back but it is till today that I came accross this page and I have an opportunity to write a review for this individual. My younger sister woke up one day with sever abdominal pain and we rushed her to our local hospital ER from which she was later transferred to Tarzana Hospital. She was diagnosed with appendicitis and was scheduled to get surgery with Dr Chandra. He spoke with my parents about the surgery procedure and introduced to them a laser based procedure which according to Dr Chandra was going to ease the process much better than a regular surgery usually practiced to remove the appendix. My parents agreed to perform the procedure introduced by the Dr. due to that the risks for complications according to the Dr. were minimum. So my sister underwent the procedure which according to Dr Chandra was successful. She constantly complained about having some pain but according to the doctor it was perfectly normal due to the surgery which had just been performed. She was released from the hospital by Dr Chandra who confirmed she was perfectly fine and just had to go thru the healing process. We brought her home with as much care as possible to comfort her thru the process. She continued to complain of having pain on her abdominal area. The Dr was contacted and advised but we got the same answer that it was part of undergoing the healing process. My sister would not eat because the pain was very discomforting for her. Till a couple of days after being released from the hospital my mom was trying to feed her something and she neglected the food, stood up and stumbled to the living room trying to walk off the pain she was getting. But she suddenly collapsed unconscious on our living room floor and was rushed again to Tarzana Hospital ER. It turned out that she had a very severe infection and had a very significant amount of pus spread inside her body. Other doctors were then involved in helping my sister, including Dr Chandra since he had been the initial Dr who had treated her. My sister's situation was very sever which led to having her in intensive care for quite sometime. She was having fever of 103 to 105 not exactly sure but around that temperature. She had to be rested in some type of ice sheets to try to drop the temperature. The situation was much sever that my parents were instructed to sign the necessary documents in case of a fatality for example listing our religion and what was to be done with body. Which were very hard and traumatic situations my parents and the whole family went thru, and not to think the trauma my little sister's body went thru. Ooh and did I forget to mention my sister was only about 8 or 9 years old. Thanks to our Lord and baby Jesus my sister dramatically recovered after undergoing a second surgery to clean her inside and removed all the infection that had spread, and not to mention the very traumatic scar from her upper stomach to the lower abdomen that my sister was left with, which still bothers, intimidates and reminds her of a very hard time in our life's. I insist and believe that this situation could have been much less traumatizing for many of us if Dr Chandra had done something else than just assuming everything was fine when my sister continued to complain of having pain. I'm not saying Dr Chandra is a bad Dr but I really felt the need of sharing our experience and I truly hope that no one else goes thru anything even similar than what my poor sister had to go thru.
