How Patients Feel About Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, CA
“To me, I just think Dr. Chawla is terrific. He treats you with what he thinks you can handle. He doesn’t take ‘no.’ Dr. Chawla will say, ‘If it’s not this drug, then let’s try this.’ He’s not giving up on you.”
Meeting with Dr. Chawla I would say he was all open arms. It felt very comfortable. It didn’t feel like coming into a doctor’s office and being lectured. It was ‘we’re going to get you better.’ What was great was his reassurance….
(Sarcoma Oncology Center) almost a second home to me. Dr. Chawla makes you feel that you can tell him just anything. Comfort in how you feel, what’s going on because he is there with open arms.
I came back to Dr. Chawla, and it was bad. He said that it was bad, which is what I loved about him. He never said that ‘I can’t treat you.’ He never said that ‘I can’t do anything.’ They don’t treat you like you’re an invalid.
