Dr. Chhatrala has a patient-first philosophy, which helps him develop strong bonds, openness, and trusts with patients and their families. “I love when I’m able to use my training to demystify and explain the process of treating cancer and blood disorders,” says Dr. Chhatrala. He continues, saying:
“In doing so, I’m able to help turn their confusion and fear into courage and resilience as they battle cancer. It’s always gratifying to see patients go into remission, or even be cured, after treatment. I hope that my patients always remember that I am their ally in this fight; I’m someone who is frank and will explore all available treatment options and help making choices that work best for them as individuals.”
