Dr Chacko is an excellent physician. She listens, is quite agreeable, caring, and very kind.
Unfortunately, it seems that patients with chronic pain aren't offered much assistance and the visits feel rushed. It seems as if the doctors are stumped when certain issues are raised. There were no referrals to a specialist that may look deeper into the issue.

Dr. Chacko was awesome and went above & beyond.
A minor issue - I told Dr. Chacko I had sore throat, drippy nose, minor chest congestion, fatigue. She considered a few things I suggested it might be, but we both agreed it could be any number of things. We agreed on post nasal drip. I'm beginning to think I might have RSV, which we didn't discuss, although it could have been because I didn't have a headache, fever, or other symptoms usually seen with RSV. This is extremely minor IMO bc nothing can be done for RSV anyway besides rest, fluids, etc. - the usual for most viruses.
Dr. Chacko is professional, compassionate, and thorough. She takes the time to ask if the patient has any questions or concerns. She is a very good doctor.
