Office was clean and the staff were helpful enough getting me checked in. The doctor listened to my concerns and gave some reasonable explanations. Took time to go over my history and answered a few of my questions. Didn't feel rushed which I appreciated. Everything seemed pretty organized even though the wait was a bit longer than I expected. Overall, a good experience and I'd probably come back if I need to follow up or have another issue down the line. read more

An update- staff helpfulness and thoroughness has greatly improved in recent years - I look forward to interacting with them when visiting Dr Chaudhary or one of the other Doctors at this facility. Dr Chaudhary is still ...Dr Chaudhary! read more

I came to see her instead of my regular, doc Dr. Broad because he didn't have any availability. I just waited almost an hour for my 10:45 am appointment. I'm not sure how you can be so far behind so early in the day but this is completely unacceptable. My time is valuable and I need a practice where time management is valued. Also, once I got in to see her, she was rude and made me feel bad about choices I have made as a parent. I will not be back. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Chaudhary's for years. She used to be just fine, though as others mention her front office needs work. More recently I've been very disappointed. She almost doesn't seem to be listening to what I'm telling her. She focuses in on the smallest symptom and ignores the issue that brought me to the doctor in the first place. Unfortunately, it is time to start the search for a new doctor. There are better doctors out there. I'd look elsewhere. read more

I visited Dr. Chaudhary 3 months ago and she gave me utterly erroneous information about my eye condition. While she did correctly label it as a "pinguecula," that was all she did correctly. She stated (falsely) that this condition would go away on its own...these never go away unless removed surgically, which I am now doing. Moreover, she stated she had two while on college, which must be a lie as these literally never fade apart from removal. Her blatant lies made me pretty angry, as I had to see three ophthalmologists subsequently. She took my money and didn't even blink..after one HOUR of waiting AFTER my appointment time. This is ridiculous. Don't go to this doctor. read more

0 star's for the front staff. They are condescending and rude. I had an issue regarding approval of a procedure that wasn't written up correctly. Granted, that was not their fault but to try to speak with my doctor or her nurse was difficult. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, this one male individual would say certainly, let me transfer you, knowing that she would'nt be there for the day when I needed an answer the same day. Whenever I call I dread that he is going to answer the phone. The staff alone has me pondering whether to find another practice. If they are going to make it difficult to see the doctor then why bother going? 4 stars for Dr. Chaudhary. I like her, she listens, she won't automatically diagnose you to the point where you feel stupid for going and will explore what all of your symptoms might mean. She will refer you to a specialist without her ego involved, I never felt rushed and would love to continue to have her as my doctor. Her nurse is rather dry too, you really have to be assertive and ask questions when it comes to your health. This is their job, I learned that it is my job for me to communicate everything with them, you can't take it for granted that they know what is wrong with you. Funny that as you get older, see your parents age, or have a health scare that you now realize how important a good doctor is. It's a love hate thing for me, my health is the priority so I suck it up when it comes to the horrible front desk staff. I think they know that and I feel like they it's their 'leverage' when it comes to dealing with patients. Lucky for them they haven't seen me pissed off...yet...! read more

Time management is really bad here. I have no comments about the doc as such. I had an appointment at 11.15am and reached on time. I was ushered in by the nurse for the initial checkups within 10 minutes, which is ok. However, I waited for the doctor to come in for about 45 minutes. At about noon, the nurse came in and said it would be another 10 minutes or so. That didn't sound convincing and I left. I would understand the wait if this had been a walk-in, but running late by an hr+ without any prior intimation for a scheduled visit is unacceptable. Wont be going back. read more

I travel from the Pleasanton area all the way to Dr. Chaudhary's office. Why? Because she is THAT GOOD. She listens but she also advocates. When I met her, she was just out of residency and yet she correctly ID'ed a condition that 3 other doctors had completely missed. Nor was this a "one time deal." She did it 3 times, saving me pain, meaningless treatments and time. Her most effective feature is that she has a way of looking at you that says "Come on, you HAVE to do this." Incredibly dedicated and a complete professional! read more

Dr. Chaudhary is fabulous...she has earned all five of the stars that my fellow Yelpers have given her. I chose Dr. Chaudhary based on the online reviews I saw, and now it's time to return the favor for the next person who's looking for a good doctor. I've seen her twice now, and both times she has been friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. She manages to be both reassuring and realistic...a great combination. She took extra time with me to walk through a whole litany of issues, then even stopped a few more minutes to chat about common interests on the way out. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable like you do in some doctors' offices. After dealing with a rather unsympathetic doctor recently, Dr. Chaudhary's pleasant bedside manner is a breath of fresh air. You walk away thinking, "I'd like to be friends with that woman...". The office, as a whole, leaves a bit to be desired, but it's definitely worth it to see this gem of a doctor. read more

Few years back, she misdiagnosed me with Tuberculosis based on a single false skin test result, and prescribed a heavy long term medication right away even when I was still breastfeeding. I did a bit of research online back then, which suggested I can also do blood test or an X-ray. They both came negative of course. Then, she refused to do anual well being tests for me, which I'm in full right to receive every year, claiming I just delivered a baby, so I must be fine. Recently, I went there having a heavy cough, when she diagnosed me with Bronchitis and prescribed antibiotics. During the session, she strongly recommend a flu shot in the office even after I rejected it a moment ago for flu season being almost over. She pointed out that if we healthy adults get the poor babies sick, they could die. I felt guilty arguing there and got the shot just to avoid confrontation. Afterwards, I couldn't pick up the antibiotics two days as she didn't sent it right way to the pharmacy - 3 times in a row. The pharmacy stuff had to call her several times to correct the prescription. After that the medicine didn't work for the Bronchitis, and when I checked back, she left a message by her office stuff - if I had new symptoms, I could come to the office. Is this a joke? What new symptoms? I'm still same way sick! I will never come again. You shouldn't either! read more

Dr. Chaudhary had been caring for me most of my adult life. Though I've had some unexpected symptoms, she's been diligent in trying to figure out why and how to manage them. She listens and I leave her office feeling a sense of relief that we're making progress. She has an active practice and the office is good about letting you know if she's running begins schedule, which doesn't happen often. Nice remodeled rooms inside. read more

I had an appointment scheduled with her. Waited over an hour and a half. The office staff was pleasant however I had to leave due to my work schedule. The staff stated is has a tendency to run late. I went to see another doctor in her office that has better time management and is concerned about their patience time. read more

Dr. Chaudhary has been my doctor for the last few months and I have to say that she does an excellent job. She is a good listener and takes your entire "history" down. She makes sure that she understands what you are saying and that nothing gets lost in translation. I have appreciated going to her because if she does not know what is wrong with you (because she tracks everything so well), she will send you to the correct specialist. I have been in pain for many years and after seeing her and having her refer me to the correct doctor - I have a diagnosis!!! There is nothing better than having a diagnosis because then one can work towards a cure! As for as office staff, they are not warm and fuzzy but I have found for me...they have done a good job because their job is to get me in on time and make sure that if I need approvals from my insurance company, they get that done quickly. For me, they don't appear to enjoy their job but they do it efficiently and if I had a choice I would rather someone not be as friendly but be able to get the job done. I think they all deserve praise though! read more

Dr Chaudhary is very kind and listens to you. She is very thorough in explaining things as well. Only bad thing is that she ran about 30 minutes behind, however she did apologize. Her office was pretty nice as well. I would recommend seeing her. read more

Dr. Chaudhary is a gem of a doctor. I have been going to her office for about 10 years. I have recommended her to other people. She is young, but very grounded and very warm. She does not make you feel rushed and she will take the time to look something up to double check on things. She really seems to care about you. Her support staff is very accessible if you need help over the phone. Never had a problem getting in right away if I had something urgent. Update: I removed a star because the office has kind of faltered at handling phone messages. It can take days to get the Dr. call you back when you phone her. Also, the office messed me up once by not providing the refill for a prescription for A WHOLE WEEK. I requested it on Monday and come Friday I called and asked what happened and they told me it would be done. Well, it wasn't. I had to go into the pharmacy over the weekend to get an advance of a 3 pills to tide me over until the Dr.'s office was open.on Monday, which meant another trop to th pharmacy. EDITED TO ADD: Only problem is getting the doctor on the phone. Sometimes the support staff is subpar, meaning they neglect to call in a refill and don't call back when they promised to. read more

ITA with the previous posters. Dr. Chaudhary was assigned to me as a PCP and she actually called me as soon as she reviewed my chart because the asthma treatment I was on wasn't working. She was concerned and brought me in and put me on another treatment that has made a world of difference. My husband and I are pretty tough to impress but now he's also her patient because we both think she is a wonderful physician. She followed up after recent analysis and made sure my specialist knew about the results from her office. When my kids outgrow the pediatrician, hopefully Dr. Chaudhary will still be practicing locally and you bet they'll go to her. read more

Dr. Chaudhary has been my PCP for more than ten years, and continues to demonstrate her professional and skilled patient care. She does not seem rushed and listens well to what is sometimes a long list of symptoms. She identifies and is ready to provide referrals to specialists when needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Primary Care Doctor. read more

Long overdue review. I have seen Dr. Chaudhary for many years. She listens and understands her patients. There are times I had to wait because she was running behind, but she is a great physician. That's why she has lots of patients. Totally recommend her. read more

She is one of the best doctors in San Jose! She will go out of her way to try to help you as a patent and make you feel cared for.

very bad doctor she doesn't care about her patients she's very inconsiderate, does not listen to your issues and only wants you to follow her way. doctor Joceliza G. Chaudhary was trying to make her patient feel crazy and she did not respond to his calls and made more stress for my husband who was already on stress leave and she didn't do her paper work right and also never filled out the EDD forms and the advice nurse wasn't very helpful we called them for weeks got the same response and never a call back , cause we are regular people with bills and a life too. SHE SHOULD RESIGN read more

Dr. Chaudhary has been a wonderful doctor. She was my husbands GP and I switched to her in an emergency situation where my own doctor was not responding to multiple emails and messages. Dr. Chaudhary was able to fit me in the same day I called. She has been responsive, understanding and caring. It is nice that there are multiple doctors in the practice including a few specialists so you don't have to go far for a referral. I am so thankful I switched to Dr. Chaudhary. read more

I give Dr Chaudhary NO STARS the only reason it shows 1 is because you have to pick something. She needs to go back to school she does not care about her patients she is just in it for the money. I went to her for over a year . Telling her I had heart palpitations and that I was always feeling tired an had flu symptoms ,She told me that I just need to exercise and lose a little weght . How can I excercise when somedays I could not even get out of bed.I finally had to go to emergency because My heart was racing I thought I was having a heart attack , With just them hearing my symptoms they ran test to check my throid and founsd that I had Hypothyroidism . And Dr Chaudhary could not figure this out? So I suffered for a year because she could not figure it out? She would tell me its just a virus... Then I took my 10 yr old daughter in for a sore throat and it would not go away after 2 weeks so I took her in again and She said it was just a virus (her favorite word). So I took my daughter to acute care and they found that she had strep throat . This is serious,if untreated it could effect the heart later in life. Then the worst of all I found out that my Niece was seen her, she had just found out that she had stage 4 cancer , And again after a year of going to doctor Chaudhary telling her that something was wrong and she did not feel well ,She told my niece that she needed to exercise and AGAIN she told her it was a virus. ........ And they way she found out was from her dentist ,she described how she was feeling and after 10 mins her dentist told her that she had a tumor in her nasal passage maybe if Dr. Chaudehary had paid more attention maybe they could have caught the Cancer before it was stage 4. she should have sent her for some kind of testing . My niece told her she had ringing in her ears and that she had sinus trouble and she did not send her for any test at all .. This is outrageous and she should not be practicing medicine . I hope there are not more victims out there . It angers me that my nie ce is dealing with cancer now which may have been prevented if only the Dr had paid more attention... This angers me these are live she is dealing with.................Ugh! read more

Dr. Chaudhary has been my primary physician for 16 years now. Recommended to me by a satisfied friend, she has provided excellent care to both me and to my daughter over the years. I can always count on her to listen carefully to what I have to say and to do her best to diagnose and treat my problems. When on occasion she is uncertain of the exact nature of an issue, she makes appropriate referrals. To me, she is the perfect mix of both congeniality and professionalism, which makes her both approachable and effective as a physician. I notice in some other Yelp reviews that there have been complaints about the office staff and delays in getting call-backs and assistance. While I believe there were indeed issues with this in the past, Dr. Chaudhary's office has addressed these issues very well in recent years while under the umbrella of Stanford Medicine. It is now easy to get through to the office, and I can make my own appointments and send occasional brief messages to Dr. Chaudhary myself through the MyHealth site. She responds promptly, always to my satisfaction. When I do have to interact with her staff at the clinic, I find them to be courteous and efficient, particularly Christopher. All things considered, I would highly recommend this physician and this practice to anyone. read more

Maybe this review is unfair as I didn't actually see the doctor. I called twice to try to make an appointment. Both times, the person I spoke with was indifferent. Appointments were two weeks out and when they found out I was a new patient, that moved it out even further. I just didn't feel they wanted my business. I hope this review will encourage the doctor to review her office staff. read more

My parents recommended me to come here to deal with social anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm, and potential panic attacks. I met with this doctor for maybe 15 minutes. She smiled maybe once, never looked concerned, never asked a second question after the first, just checked off whatever was on her clipboard, and moved on. Their "preliminary paperwork" for communicating that you have anxiety, is a carbon copy of the page behind it asking if you have depression. My parents told me she would be able to point me to a psychiatrist and maybe have some medication to overcome my lack of sleep and loss of appetite (I've lost almost 12 pounds in the past month.) Constantly waiting for me to stop talking. At the end, she told me despite years of anxiety symptoms, that I don't have anxiety and actually when I'm scared shitless in a store and can't ask a clerk for help, it's actually just me pretending. She told me I'm not depressed, I'm just sad. And then she gave me 3 pieces of paper that boiled down to, take a fucking walk and take a nap per day. Then she look at a list of 30+ psychiatrists, confessed she had never heard of ANY of them, and then circled 3 random ones. I am so appalled because it took so long to even work up the courage to make this appointment and my parents essentially made me go to confront my issues. There's no way I'm taking any of her doctor recommendations. I left in tears and with worse anxiety than walking in. read more

Dr. Chaudhary is an angel. She is one of those special family doctors who treats you like a human being, not just another "chart". She listens, she advises and she is open to your knowledge and feedback about yourself. I initially found her on another site (rateMDs.com), and she has a bevy of loyal patients. She has a gentle touch and caring demeanor and you don't leave feeling "violated" after a pelvic exam (I am sure she is gentle with the fellas too ;-). She doesn't mind following up with phone calls if need be. She is okay with you having more than one issue to discuss per visit (I think I had a dozen issues to discuss on my first visit). She is knowledgeable, but isn't a know-it-all kind of physician (you know, those types that think they know more about you than you do and they aren't willing to listen or worse, they just dismiss your input outright). She will not only listen to you, but will go do research or ask her peers for advice if need be. And she is in with my insurance (Blue Cross)! There is some room for improvement in the practice where she works(Samaritan Family Practice). The front office staff is always young and on the unprofessional/inexperienced side. Generally, I think this office sees too much staff turnover, but there are at least a couple familiar faces each time I go. They have done some remodeling that has made the place look much better, but they can't seem to keep up with the mystery stains on the waiting room furniture. It sort of reminds me of movie theater seats (you know, you don't really want to look at them that closely, just sit down and try to forget about it!) However to have such a fine doctor caring for me is worth a few "aesthetic" sacrifices. read more

As I've seen Dr. Chaudhary more, I'm not as impressed as I was before. I feel like she expresses too much of her person opinion rather than her professional opinion. Although I do appreciate different points of view on a topic, I don't want my doctor's personal opinion to get in the way of what I think is right for my body or for taking care of my son. read more

I made an appointment to see Dr. Chaudhary a month in advance. A week before the appointment, the office called to reschedule. I did not mind, because I had been recommended to Dr. Chaudhary by another physician. I arrived early to my appointment and was greeted by a receptionist that possessed the qualities of a robot. He lacked social skills. When my name was called, I was taken to the wrong examining room. My temperature and blood pressure measurements were taken and recorded. After I read through all the magazines in the examining room, I checked my cellphone and decided to wait another 15 minutes after my initial investment of 45 minutes. Another physican came to the examining room, looked at my file and realized I was not her patient. I was taken to Dr. Chaudhary's side of the office and was told to go back to the waiting room. It was almost lunchtime and I decided to leave, because I did not want a rushed appointment with Dr. Chaudhary. The back office was chaotic, disorganized and did not offer an apology. Can this office be trusted to handle my medical information with care? Unfortunately, I will not have the opportunity to be treated by Dr. Chaudhary. read more

I love the doctor but now am having doubts because I have called and no one gets back to me. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Dr Chaudhary! She is the Dr for our two young daughters. She has been everything I would have wanted in my children's physician....caring, informative, and asks me questions about them and listens to my concerns. read more

I must echo Kar B. and just give kudos to Dr. Chaudhary but pass on the staff. I am hoping now that they have joined Daughters of Charity foundation, maybe they will be less stressed. But this is about Dr. Joc, so here goes. She is kind, funny, and always seems to have time to listen. She really listens, and I am shocked to see how little she gets paid by my insurance (SCCIPA) for all the time she takes with me. She really believes in the doctor-patient relationship and I treasure her for that. I am also very impressed at the specialists she has sent me to over the years for a variety of issues/concerns. Thank you so much for everything!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chaudhary for over 5 years, and my family sees her as well. When my fiance started to experience excruciating headaches that were completely debilitating, I took him to Dr. Chaudhary right away. While in the process of finding him the correct medication, and treatment options, he had to go on disability. As his primary care physician Dr. Chaudhary was responsible for getting all of the correct documentation to his agent, so that he wouldn't loose his job during this very scary time. She completely neglected to meet the deadlines needed, and his claim was denied, not to mention that she was charging us for the paperwork. We are still unsure and worried that he will loose his job, and I only have her and the staff to blame. I am a patient care coordinator myself, and I could never imagine letting something like this slip through the cracks, especially when the patient is calling to check in on it every other day. Terrible customer/patient service. I am so very disappointed and will not be returning to the office. read more
