5.0 star star star star starSo refined. I was impressed the moment he walked in the room. Great at making a person feel at ease. Brain tumors and surgery are scary, but he made me feel so at ease and confident that I was making the right decision.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Chandler is an outstanding and very impressive Doctor. From the minute you meet him, his commanding, but welcoming presence lets you know you are in the best of care. He is prepared, thorough in his questioning, and a superb listener. Any documentation or imaging (CDs) you've brought, he examines and explains everything to you. Dr. Chandler creates an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable to ask questions and provide information regarding your condition and symptoms. Dr. Chandler explains the medical plan he believes is necessary and answers any questions you have so you can fully understand. Dr. Chandler is clear, direct and to-the-point in his discussions and extremely well-organized. From the minute you meet Dr. Chandler, you can feel his intelligence, competency and ability. As I listened to Dr. Chandler, I knew, for the very first time since my condition had been diagnosed, that I was in the BEST of care with Dr. Chandler and his Team. I feel so very, very grateful and, for the first time, peaceful, knowing I am now under such excellent care.
