Dr. Chacko listens. I genuinely believe she cares about my well being. When I get off track in my treatment, she kindly, yet firmly, let's me know the seriousness of what I am facing and helps me adjust my thinking to get back on track. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Chacko a thousand times over. #ThankGodForMyDoctor
