This is my experience with Dr. Chandrakantan. He didn’t care about my quality of life, no preventative treatment, and it seem he only wanted to put me on dialysis. Like he only wanted to fill his for profit dialysis center.  The staff was rude and he didn’t give me a diagnosis or treat the ones I have.  My family and I decided to find another doctor.  Someone who care about us and tried to help improve my health!
