TESTIMONIALS
"The epitome of a doctor - Dr. Chhabra conducted a catheter ablation for WPW I had suffered from. I met him in the ER after I had an episode of my heart condition. He communicates perfectly with you as a patient. He answers all questions to where you understand clearly and put me at ease with this procedure he preformed on me. Dr. Chhabra is what all doctors should hope to be like. I would recommend anyone in need of a heart issue to him. Thank you Dr. Chhabra for curing me literally from the bottom of my heart."
