Karthik K. Challa, MD

The office staff and nurses are great. Dr. Challa is friendly and sensitive to patient issues.

Dr. Challa (and his office staff) have always been very efficient in how the office is run. On this visit they (the staff) were not. I would 1 hr. past the appointment time and they thought I had not showed up even though they had checked me in on my arrival. They did apologize for their mistake.

The experience was good all were very nice and they explained in my language.

dr Challa is a great explainer of the working of the human heart- I am in excellent care by him

Dr. Challah is personable and talks with me on an equal level and takes all the time I need to answer questions.

it was a good visit.

Felt rushed, awkward and as if my concerns were insignificant.

I like Dr. Challa a lot and feel comfortable with him. I would recommend him highly.

Not as good as the personal visit; but worked out well.

Dr. Challa is a great provider - The admin staff could use some help in providing prompt feedback when necessary-

A good experience. I am pleased with Dr. Challa. Very hands-on doctor.

Dr. Challa is always extremely attentive, professional, empathetic, and concerned for my well being. He listens to my concerns and explains thoroughly the options for treatment. I have and will continue to recommend him to others should the opportunity arise.

He was great. He had ordered several tests on my heart. They all turned out great and I'm good to go for years to come.

I think Dr. Challa is very personable and caring about myself and family. He also worked with me and other back to work Doctors for my employer to make sure I could return to work after my surgery.

I am a doctor, currently not working for health reasons. I have referred to this group for many years, and continue to do so.

I felt Dr. Challa was informed and took the time to review my previous episodes of Sinus Tach as well as my previous test results.

The experience is that they have attended me excellent and hopefully they keep attending the same or better attention.

The experience that I have is that it was very good.

great doctor

Everything went smoothly; I was in and out of his office in record time, and was well taken care of!

I was in and out very quickly, however I spent all the time I needed with the Doctor. Nice office, very efficient and friendly staff.

All good!

excellent

Really appreciate that the office respects my time. Each appt. is on time and efficiently handled.

Nice experience. Keep up the good work and thanks!

Dr. Challa asked the right questions based on my health history and ordered the correct tests to ascertain my exact heart problem. The med he prescribed make sense to me and he listened to my concerns about unnecessary meds. Very good doctor.

The whole office made me feel relaxed and comfortable.

Provider was attentive and decisive. He explained well what he was assessing and this gave me confidence in him.

I HIGHLY RESPECT Dr. Challa and his staff! The Huntley location it outstanding - caring and respectful - LOVE THIS office.

I have confidence in Dr Challa and appreciate the time he spends discussing my health. The office does a great job of getting you in and out quickly.

I am very pleased with my cardiologist - very thorough and very courteous! (As is his staff).

This was my first experience at this facility. Dr. Challa was pleasant, thorough, and explained what the next test would be.

This was my last visit, I'm doing well enough that I don't need to see a heart doctor anymore - I'm glad but also sad, this is a great doctor - he really seemed to care about my health, I got great care from him & his team and I'll be recommending them often.

Provider is always upbeat and positive! Provider always inquires about diet and exercise! Provider always explains medications and need to continue!

Good visit

Very good experience,doc is kind & patient,& explains everything very clearly,which is especially appreciated being that I am a senior citizen,will recommend him very highly,

very good

Doctor was very positive about my heart now & in the past.

Great cardiologist - helped me talk through my current test results, put them in perspective for me, and made a plan for the future. I appreciate his expertise and guidance.

Dr. Challa is very attentive to me when I have seen him he listens, and assures me we are on the right track for a healthier heart - when with him you experience his knowledge of his chosen field and I fully trust him in my care.

Loved Dr. Challa. My first visit with him. Felt he was on top of everything and very comfortable with him.

I like Dr. Challa, he is very easy to speak with and takes his time with all my questions. He took me off one medication. He ordered a lipid panel to determine whether to reduce the dosage of another medication. I have not gotten the result back yet but it was only a few days ago.

Very happy with staff & New doctor,am confident he & staff will take good care of me,thank you,

The front office service has improved

He a good doctor.

This doctor is new to me. I believe we will be compatible.

Explained everything.

Very bad.

Excellent care, professionally and personality.

Dr. Challa is an excellent cardiologist - his office staff needs to have a better "customer relations" attitude sometimes - the nurses are great - just hard to get passed the admin. staff to get answers.

He took my blood press. - listened to upper body with a stethoscope, read results of my GPS blood tests on computer, I asked about a couple meds changes GP made (he said they were good changes. When I got paper work at the end of visit it said to discontinue GAVISENESIN 400 MG. TAB that I've been taking to stop phlegm build up & intense coughing. I feel I can't go without. We never even talked about that (lung problem). We don't discuss anything much unless I ask. I wish he would volunteer and explain more. It's my body I want to be informed!! He shows little personal interest in my health communication!! He observes and makes decisions. Hey I want to be part of the process!!

Excellent.

Dr. Challa is a kind, sympathetic doctor who listens well.

Bad experience.

The entire has always be very help full ,and courteous.

The doctor was polite, answered all my questions and recommended I see him once a year. I am 85 years old and still kicking!

Very professional, very friendly.

Everything went very smoothly.

Provider is always on top of situation.

I have recommended my provider. he is caring and listens to me. I left feeling like he is looking out for me health

Dr. Challa and his staff are always professional, helpful, and willing to listen to my concerns and advise accordingly. I find that they are knowledgeable regarding my medical conditions and medications.

All visits are always very satisfying.

Advocate Cardiology got me in as soon as possible on the coldest (-21 degrees) day of the year. Everyone was accommodating and helpful.

He's new to me but I think I'll like him. Have had only 2 appointments with him. So far so good.

was sympathetic about the death of my husband. suggested the need to take care of health concerns.

great

very personable and speaks well

Very Good

My office visit with Dr. Challa was very positive. I found it odd that the pre visit data gathering with I believe the nurses did not already have much of my information as I am a...

Very caring doctors nurses & staff.

Dr Challa was very helpful. I came because my oncologist, whom I have been seeing every 3 weeks, usually finds my blood pressure on the high side. My endocrinologist recommended that I see a cardiologist. Hence this visit. Very pleased with him and his Elgin practice. Also very convenient.

Very bad office staff - they need to be trained to show courtesy and respect for patients and their time. This was my second visit to this office and the 2nd time they showed no courtesy-respect for patients. Pretty terrible . the staff blaims the issue on the office manager - who wasn't even there. Dr. is good but when patients are thoroughly disrespected upon their arrival in the office - everyone's blood pressure goes up and after that even the dr. was not interested in providing due care. Overall a very bad practice here

Dr. Challa listens to my concerns and cares about my health and future care.

I really like this Doctor

well done , maybe my meds should be reviewed

Glad to see the office has been renovated. More space for patients in the waiting room.

This was my first visit with this doctor & am happy to have him as my doctor!

exellent experience

Diagnosed bronchitis, prescribed medicine, followed instructions. Cleared up in about 3 weeks.

The new facility is very nice - one problem - more signs for the entrance on Rt. 47 - a little hard to know where to enter or that it is even there! Both north & south.
