Patient Reviews
Dec 31, 2017
Dr. Chowdhury is an excellent physician. He helps parents, explains, prescribes medications only when needed, and follows up. He is available on weekends and even called in a prescription across the country for my daughter when her asthma flared up. He is kind, a good person, and truly caring. I cannot think of anyone else I would rather have as my children’s doctor. I can unequivocally recommend him as someone you should trust.
