What Our Patients Are Saying
He was very knowledgeable and took great care of explaining things
I feel very fortunate that I have had Dr. Carpenter as the surgeon who performed my kidney transplant. He is an extremely skilled surgeon and exudes positive energy which has been most helpful in my healing process. He listens to what I have to say and his professional advice has always been very astute and helpful. And for that I continue to be most grateful!
Dr. Chandwani is a very genuine and caring doctor. He sat with me and my family for an hour getting my medical history, reviewing my diagnosis, and explaining my surgery plan. He hand-drew diagrams of my anatomy and detailed each step precisely. I feel very confident that my treatment will be smooth sailing in Dr. Chandwani's hands.
