Doctor Chalunkal helped me tremendously! Knowledgeable. Explained my issue well. Personable. Highly recommend.

I have been seeing Dr Chalunkal for over 5 years. I have been so happy with the personal care he has given me through this time. Dr C as I call him , and many others do too, has worked so hard to keep my pain managed with medication I won’t get hooked on. I do have one medication that can be addictive but I love the fact he tells me he wants to watch addictive medications and has added a non addictive to help with nerve pain instead of just increasing the other. I also love the fact that Dr C has worked with the surgeons when I’ve had some surgeries over the years. Them handling it together makes me feel so safe about not having any interactions or accidental overdoses. He is so good managing my pain safely. Dr C also is so good to check on your personal well brining because medications can affect your moods he has told me. Last of all it seems to be a shortage at times with my medications. I think that is the way this crazy world is with opioids safety tight now. Dr Chalunkal has been the greatest to work with me to find a pharmacy that has my medication if my normal pharmacy doesn’t. He has even called me after hours to make sure I am Ok and everything worked out. You just have to be patient because he has over 3000 patients. He and hai staff are the BEST. I recommend Dr Chalunkal to anyone thAt may need pain management. Again, he is just amazing.
