Dr . Chatas is a great Dr. i would recommend him for pain management needs.
Dr Chatas is an excellent Doctor, who explains exactly what he will be doing in layman terms if required. He also give options for treatment.
Very kind, understanding and clear in his recommendations. A very calming presence.
Always great results. Wish I had more access to him for an actual conversation, but am very happy with the relief I feel from his services.
A very caring and knowledgeable person
He was very easy to talk to and he listened to my concerns! He was professional and made me feel more confident prior to the procedure. He was very personable.
Takes the time to explain everything about the procedure very clearly!!Dr and staff are excellent!! A+++
45 min.late to see me this is my time just as important as his . Please be on time!!
Could use better bed side maners
Dr. Chatas is GREAT. I have only one complaint and that is the Petechiae I had on my wrist & hand. I believe that the BP cuff was placed on my lower arm instead of my upper arm and there was too much pressure forced to my hand.
