    Since I have been seeing Dr.Kochar he has always answered and elaborated upon my many questions. As opposed to doctors or institutions who seem to have to make a per hour quota, Dr. Kochar conducts the visit as if it's almost open ended, most important to this cardiac patient.

    Dr. Kochar listened better that any other Dr. I've seen. He paused while going over things to make certain I didn't have any questions. When he first was gathering information, & one important thing was incorrect that he'd gotten from the nurse (I could tell the nurse wasn't quite understanding what I'd said), he was very responsive, respectful, & listened so I could clarify. He explained options, risks, thoroughly & seemed very gentle, kind, & compassionate.
