Shilpa Chitnis Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Chitnis is an *exceptional* provider. In my opinion, she is by far the best MD that I have seen in the UT Southwest Health System. She listens deeply without interrupting, is very knowledgeable, takes her time during the appointment, does a thorough review of medical background in addition to the in-office assessment, communicates clearly, has a collaborative approach in making her treatment recommendations, has an encouraging as well as calming demeanor with a touch of humor, and genuinely cares about overall-wellbeing (in my specific case, by making recommendations within her specialty that best fit me as an individual while also checking on my wellness in other areas). The first visit that I came in, she asked me an extensive list of specific questions after her evaluation and took her time listening to me describe what the problem was; at the end of that appointment, I had a clear answer and was left with all questions answered as well as a clear plan/ path forward. In addition, she was even kind enough to make recommendations about maintaining wellness in other areas by continuing practices and following up with providers that could help in other areas of my health that were outside her specialty. She truly cared about not just what I was coming in to be seen for, but also about my wellness as a whole and I truly appreciated this multi-system approach. She even left me with words of kindness/ wisdom about not letting this hinder me from pursuing my dreams. Dr. Chitnis is a provider who is diligent and will put you at ease. I would highly recommend her.

I appreciate Dr. Chitnis. I found her to be very professional, caring, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. She never hurried And took time to answer all questions

After going to 4 neurologists, including one recommended by the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Chitness was the first to perform the test needed to determine my diagnosis of Bradykinesia. Dr. Chitness and those who work with her are amazingly brilliant, kind, and effective with patients.

Dr. Chitnis gets ten star's from me she gave me such a warm feeling, Look in too eyes and you can tell she cares. My primary doctor did me great justice when he gave me her name. I had seen two other doctor's before I came to see her. Dr. Shilpa R. Chitnis thanks for doing your best with my life..

She is amazing clinical who cares about her patients. Very knowledgeable and upto date with late else research.

Dr. Chitnis is simply a fantastic movement disorders doc. She is somwhat difficult to get in with, and takes alot of care and time with her patients, and thus is often behind schedule. But that's justbecause she is sooooo good! Well worth the wait, particularly if you have Parkinson's. Also, she is among a fairly small group of focs at UTSW (or iin the city for that matter, todo DBS system programming). Shehas a tremendous amount of compassion, encourages family involvement, is extremely nice, and is simply a wonderful Human being. If you are considring using Dr. Chitnis, consider yourself to be blessed if you become one of her patients. As a local Neurosurgeon said to me recently "Dr. Chitnis really is the complete package!"
