Yashwant S Chaudhri

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this doctor. Dr. Chaudhri has been a major “life saver” over the past few weeks for me. I put that phrase in quotations because I mean it quite literally. I was in the beginning stages of withdrawal and he tried to get me into a detox center over night. However my insurance put up a wall against me receiving the treatment I needed. Instead of him just sending me to the ER. He took me on as his personal patient and has treated my withdraw and recovery when my insurance would not step up. There is a very very small percentage of physicians that actually treat you like you’re a person and truly care for you, Dr. Chauhdri is one of them. He is very direct and straight to the point, some might see that as a turn off - but when the possibility of having a seizure can be stopped by directness you appreciate that and do as you’re told. I cannot say enough to credit this professional in his field. The amount of personal time he has taken to reach out to me daily to make sure I’m ok is a professional courtesy I will forever be great full for. Truly. Thank you.

No show. My mother had an appointment scheduled. The office canceled and tried to reschedule twice now. My mother now doesnt trust the office and wont talk to anyone. She is in need of care. Disorganized office and what a disappointment.

I wasn’t able to speak with the psychiatrist for my initial appointment and spoke to Physician assistant Dr. Graham. My appointment lasted not even 5 minutes when it is supposed to be 45 minutes to an hour. She rushed me and interrupted me multiple times. She tried prescribing me a medication I was already on and when I told her I was on it already, all she did was double the dose of the medication I was already on and then rush me off the phone. Extremely unprofessional, be very weary about using this office if you are not a strong advocate for yourself. If they ask you if you are okay with talking to Dr. Graham instead say no!

One of the worst Sharp psychiatrists I have ever experienced. Apparently he is newly hired for 2020/2021 and works in Sharp Mesa Vista's Outpatient Program. He would barely let me get a word in when we first met. He kept going on and on about concerns of me being on a particular medication (even after I told him I discontinued years ago due to its ineffectiveness) for possible pregnancy concerns. I never once indicated I had any plans on getting pregnant (I don't even want children). Then he kept pushing a medication I had already taken that I said was one of the worst medications i had ever been on. When I met with him for a 2nd time to fill out my disability paperwork, he filled it out completely wrong. I tried to explain how one area needed to be completed (I work in HR at my job) and he kept saying he was right. Thankfully the group therapistimmediately agreed with me that it was wrong and got it fixed. Other female patients with my group constantly complained about him as well.

Waste of time! Physicians Assistant was a no-show. Not even a real doctor was scheduled, just a PA. I get better care from the couny clinic.

My mom had to deal with this doctor's assistant recently. First of all, they totally forgot about her appointment. Then she was scheduled for an appointment at 2:30PM, and my mom was waiting for her phone to ring only for the doctor to call her at 2:47PM and let the phone ring ONCE then hang up. My mom had to deal with talking to the assistant who yelled at her and told her she will be charged for missing her appointment and that it's her fault. tHIS IS THE SECOND TIME SHE WILL HAVE BEEN CHARGED AND THIS IS FRAUD. My mom has anxiety and she cannot deal with treatment like this especially from a Psych office. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR TO ANYONE. I will file a complaint with the Better Business Beaurue and CA Medical Board. I cannot believe how un-empathetic the assistant is given that this is a Psych office.

He is quite genuine and a soft-spoken professional. Made me feel comfortable during my first visit last month. Now looking for future visits.

This office is horrible to deal with. Dr. Graham treats patients like we are drug addicts. The office doesn't do their job correctly. Now they use a billing service and no one bills the insurance companies correctly. A patient is not supposed to struggle and make phone calls to the insurance company to find out why claims aren't being paid. The doctor's office is supposed to do their job. I should be getting paid for the time I've had to make calls to find out what is going on. I'm so glad I'm not a patient at this facility any longer. This office is horrible to deal with.

He is the worst phyciatrist I have ever met(ive met a few) He replailced my old Dr and came in saying he doesn't agree with the medicine I'm on and recommended one that causes addiction. He gave it to me and then completely took me off. I had to withdrawal from a POWERFUL NARCOTIC because of his hatred toward me (I knew because he had yelled at me on numerpus occasions and told me I was a good for nothing 'junkie' when he was the one that perscribed me the narcotic that I was not on before

Is this a doctors office or a circus? Avoid at all costs. Unprofessional, dirty, no respect for time, super shady as well. I’m not angry, I genuinely want this business to fail for the service of mankind. Is this a doctors office or a circus? Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Chaudhri has seen multiple patients multiple times without receiving reimbursement for his services. He truly cares about the patient from his heart and selflessly provides quality care. He goes the extra mile for his patients.

Do not go see the Doctor! Staff told patient that a cheek swab would help with prescribing medications without discussing costs. The bill was $2900 for a cheek swab. The Dr. then saw the patient for 15 minutes and wanted to prescribe medicine which patient declined due to realizing the Dr. had no clue about patients situation. Dr. then charged $500 for visit. Dr. then realized he had never seen the patient before and had patient fill out paperwork after consult!

Came in over two hours late, rude, and did not meet my expectation.

This is the first psychiatrist that has listened to my concerns and offers solutions to "think about". He explained my diagnosis on my level of understanding and did not try to over medicate me. He has a different approach to his assessment, which brings things out in a less traditional way, which did not make me feel judged or labeled. He is empathetic and passionate about what he does. I felt care about as a human being, and didnt't se me as an oppertunity to capitalize on my insurance

THE worst doctor call of my 62 years! I needed a prescription refilled for a 7 day business trip. It's controlled substance, only few local doctors prescribe it & can take only few patients. I called on Jan 2 made appmt for Jan8 after coming back. So called 7:30am jan8, he had no recollection, made no appmt. He said call back at 1pm. I did. Again, no recollection of the 7:30 call same morning. Said to go to urgent care, he had no time.Called 4 times during the week to make sure! JERK!

Dr. Chaudhri is amazing, however, dealing with the office staff is an absolute nightmare. Once the didn't bother to tell Dr Chaundri that he had a patient in the waiting room for 3 1/2 hours. At one point while I was waiting they offered me the chance to see his PA. I went back to her office and explained to her the titration schedule I was on, she didn't believe me and made me go back to the waicing room. When I finally saw him he said next time to text him from the waiting room.
