Never get to see Dr. Choban only her PA. Not available to all patients. Unable to build a relationship so can’t give her a good rating.

Dr. Chohan has been by far the best Dr. That has been part of my Dr. Team. From my first visit to my current visit she has always taken my health as her priority to make sure I live a complete life. Always a BIG THANK YOU
