Dr. Chitayat is amazing he’s thorough in every way. I recommend him to all my friends and family. I found him by recommendation from a co worker. After my 1st visit my phone # was recorded incorrectly. He needed to reach me for test results he called my coworker to find me. How above and beyond is that? So many good things to say. You won’t regret seeing him.

One of the kindest human beings who ever walked this earth. He truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile with each and every one of them. The only one of these reviews that gave him a single star happens to be a hoax – a fraudster. I looked it up because I wondered who would ever give this man anything less than 5 stars. My only motivation for doing so would be to have less of a wait in seeing him. He’s truly a joy to have as a health professional.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chitayat for many years. He is extremely thorough, patient and has a warm inviting spirit. When I share with my friends that I need at least two hours for my annual check-up they are surprised by the extensiveness and various tests. I trust with Dr. Chitayat if an issue arise I will catch it early.
