    The 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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?

      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.
