191 Ratings, 56 ReviewsThe ratings and comments seen on provider profiles are gathered from patient surveys, which are conducted by an independent patient satisfaction organization called Press Ganey. Star ratings are only displayed for surveyed Overlake providers who have accumulated 30 or more survey responses in outpatient clinical settings. While we are committed to publishing both positive and negative comments, we also maintain a rigorous process to review and remove comments that are profane, libelous, unrelated to the provider, or violate patient privacy.

I would have appreciated more empathy and reassurance.

As I mentioned earlier, Dr. Chawla is the best
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/18/2024
Disappointed that provider is going to the concierge program. I understand it helps the doctor provide more time with their patients but patients end up losing their provider because they can't afford to pay the membership fees! Not looking forward to establishing new relationship with another provider.

Dr Chawla is exemplary

I love Dr. Chawla

Dr. Chawla has always made me feel that my questions/concerns were important.

Dr. Chawla is the best PCP I've had. She is extremely knowledgeable about me and my medical and personal history. She is attentive, conscientious and caring -- as well as an excellent practitioner, of course.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/19/2023
Dr Chawla reviews my records before entering the room, addresses various concerns should that be necessary , provides advice and has a variety of tests that go along with my care.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/16/2023
Extremely disappointed that Dr. Renu Chawla is leaving Overlake Clinics Internal Medicine for Concierge care. I feel very anxious about what will happen next with a new doctor. I feel that Overlake Clinics Internal Medicine does not have enough Physicians nor are they looking at the big picture for their patients. After establishing my care with Dr. Chawla, it is a huge blow not to be able to go forward with her as my doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/14/2023
Even though we have differing opinions on certain issues, Dr Chawla is respectful and friendly.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/12/2023
I am very sorry she is leaving the clinic

Dr. Renu Chawla has been my doctor for years and has always showed exceptional care and knowledge of the multiple health problems that I have. She expertly facilitates the team of doctors that service me. My other doctors respect her knowledge level and expertise. During each and every appointment, it shows that she studies my cases and evals from other doctors. Doing that allows her to meet with me during each appointment with the communication needed to discuss conditions thoroughly and with her expert knowledge. Because of her caring and expertise, I have always recommended her to many of my friends.

Dr Chawla is excellent!!
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/11/2023
My appointment was very short and not a full physical. Dr Chawla said that her first appointment was getting to know me and taking history, which went very well. I thought I would be able to have a more thorough physical at our next appointment. I have made this appointment and the earliest I could get in is January 2024.

Dr. Chawla is very supportive and caring as I work on weaning off a medication. I appreciate her support during a difficult time. She is my hero.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/30/2023
Dr. Chawla is very thurough; I am more comfortable talking to her about my process of recovering from cancer & preventative care than I am with my oncologist. I feel like she cares and truly listens to me.

Dr. Chawla's options and words of encouragement are uplifting.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/11/2023
Compassionate care with the highest regard for my overall health! Dr Chawla has an Innate way of communicating that always reaches the root of my concerns & medical needs.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/10/2023
I have high expectations. What is important to me is not always the focus.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/8/2023
Dr Chawla has excellent communication skills with her patients and does explain what sees in regards to my exam and is quick to check back to my previous visit to determine if anything has changed . She is comfortable to ask appropriate questions and also to just provide explanations if I do not seem to be understanding after the explanation I do get what she is saying./
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/4/2023
Dr. Chawla's after visit notes often contain inaccurate comments about what I said during the visit. My major concern during this past visit wasn't even noted anywhere on my chart or follow up notes.

Very kind, considerate and a thoughtful physician.

I liked my doctor very much

My doctor really listened to my concerns. I am very happy that I've switched from my previous Care Team at UW.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/8/2023
As a new patient I didn't understand how your clinic did things or how the visit would be. I was expecting care but it turns out the visit is all about inputting info into a computer. Why not have online forms for patients to fill out ahead of initial visit and then discuss during the visit?
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/8/2023
Super nice and attentive
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/30/2023
I LOVE LOVE LOVE DR. Chawla, she is a very very good Doctor. She REALLY cares about her patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/25/2023
I have been seeing Dr. Chawla for around 5 years and I absolutely love her. She knows ME as a person, not just as a name on a list of ailments. I trust her judgment on all her decisions. She explains everything to me and we discuss if I have questions. I can't say enough about her. In my [many] years she is the best doctor I have ever had!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/18/2023
My daughter was with me, and we both felt the Dr. was very thorough.

*Dr. Chawla is an exceptional physician. She is thoroughly prepared before she enters the room, knows my medical history & follows up on everything. I cannot recommend her more highly.

*Dr. Chawla was amazing. She was warm, kind, patient, and attentive. She's exactly what I've been looking for.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/2/2023
Honestly, Dr. Chawla was rude. I made an appointment because I was extremely concerned about my cholesterol results and she had not reached out via MyChart to discuss them. So I made an appointment to go in to discuss them. I had a list of questions written on a piece of paper. When she walked in the room, before I could say anything, she saw the questions and immediately snapped at me that we were not going to be talking about that, and instead she would tell me what she had to say. I have no problem with her wanting to go first and lead the discussion. My problem is that she seemed annoyed that I had a list of questions. She was also very abrupt, dismissive in tone, and frankly just seemed overall annoyed. I don't need my doctor to be my friend, but I do need her to listen, be respectful, and at least pretend to care.

She is the best doctor I have had
