Dr. Chhabra and his staff are excellent, really care about their patients.

I could not not be more happier, I went from doom and gloom else where to now I have a 2nd chance
The office always respects the patients time and get me in and out in a timely manner.
They care about the health of their patients.
My meeting with the doctor was great. The problem with this office is that often times they don’t answer the phone. Eventually you’ll be prompted to leave a message and no one calls back.
Efficient, the staff are great. Need not wait long. The doctor is great too. I would say, overall my visit is very satisfactory.
Very nice and doctor , understand all my problems , and lot of good advices from him , intelligent guy

April 2022 was the 3rd time I saw Dr Wyman. When I had my first appointment (video) with him a year & 1/2 ago, I was somewhat uncomfortable because I find him kinda strict. After seeing him a few more times, I’m glad he’s my cardiologist. …
Always maintains his professional concerns about my health. He remains a credit to TMH and I hope he continues his practice for many years to come.
The staff is friendly and efficient. The doctor takes an interest. The doctor explains things in an easy to understand way.
Doctor was very informative and answered all my questions. I have great faith in Dr. Kosar as a doctor.
The cause of my dizziness was thought to be from ear and/or heart issues with no improvement with those diagnoses. Dr. Curran noted that my dizziness may be caused by the side effects of tamsulosin which I may not need anymore because of my Urolift procedure. I am impressed by her innovative approach to improving my overall well being.
As usual, the COR health care facility handled my visit, in a pleasant, efficient manner and Dr. Kim has always given me excellent medical advice.
Dr was thorough and consice. Dr paid attention to my answers, looked at me while interviewing me about symptoms and medical history. Dr was personable and friendly and not rushed thru the appt.
After a long uphill battle between patient and physician, I the patient yielded. At the time when I needed Dr.Banka the most, he came through with the right decision and right meds that made a big difference in my situation. I thank God for you Dr. Banka for not giving up on me.

Only comment is I wish the office was linked to Torrance Memorial patient portal, rather than your own. It would make things much easier for patients. As-is there are too many portals, all with different access, information, and links.
We all so appreciate the effort and time you took to quickly work us into your busy schedule and your excellent advice about the medicine changes so we will all feel better and be prepared for surgery. Thank you so much for caring !
