Asif M Chaudhry, MD

First shot went well. Dr. switched locations for second procedure. I didn’t receive enough anesthesia. Felt the needle and jumped up in the air. No relief. Dr. never visited with me nor called after this happened. His office did, to schedule another paid visit. Went to another doctor and procedure went smoothly.

Dr Chaudhry is likely one of the most unprofessional individuals my family has encountered. My wife broke her back years ago and has rods, pins and screws in her back. She has herniated discs and her neck is getting worse.
The arrogance of this man is unprecedented. My wife was receiving pain medication while in NJ and injections and adjustments to her back. So when we moved to Texas we gave this man an opportunity to shine or fail and he failed right out of the gate. He declined to provide my wife with the same quantity of medication so she runs out early and then spends a week taking Tylenol, Motrin and over the counter pain relievers.
The doctor wants her to have some procedure done to her neck while rehabilitation he sent her to said they are afraid to have her moving her neck in the required motions for their exercises. We have two small children that my wife cannot pick up and both had to be cesarian section as she is unable to push.
My wife jumped through all of his hoops and this doctor has literally belittled her. I need to help her find someone to fix and manager her pain. He is obviously not engaged enough to care.
Embarrassingly enough, he walked out of the room on the last appointment and very loudly said «I’m in the business of fixing people not prescribing medication.» Is shouting my wife’s business across an office a violation of HIPPA laws?
Bottom line, he’s arrogant and thinks he’s a god. My wife’s back is so out of whack each time you fix one thing it moves to another disc. Because of this as@@&le, my wife lives in pain. It’s time to find someone reasonable that will spend time and work with her and understand we have an autistic non verbal 6 year old while I travel a lot. We don’t have the luxury of her spending 6 weeks in bed after a surgery that may paralyze her. Some doctors have even said they are afraid to touch her neck. I wouldn’t drive through this idiots parking lot if I required a vasectomy and he was the only man that could provide numbing agents. The way he has treated my wife is infuriating and it’s best we don’t meet one another. I sincerely wish you could give a negative star as this man deserves none.
Right now, my wife is in bed taking huge doses of over the counter meds to get her back to where she needs and saving the narcotic for when it gets unbearable.
If you want to be treated like a drug seeking junkie even with MRI documentation, a long history of physical therapy and a decade of proper treatment from other doctors this is your man. He will treat you like you’re a dope seeking looser if he can’t fix you. This man couldn’t fix a sandwich.

I visited Chaudhry four times, including the procedure on my 3^rd visit for lumbar cortisone injection. Each time, someone else’s paperwork was in my file. This also included the anesthesiologist’s paperwork during the time of the procedure. Every single time, paperwork was mixed up.
During the procedure, Chaudhrys office packed the patients DEEP into the waiting room. My appointment was scheduled for 11:00, and I was to arrive by 10:00. I was prepped for surgery and waited in prepped state until around 4pm when the procedure finally took place.
The procedure was quick. I was wheeled to the car and went home. I was told I should be good to go. There was no mention of possibly requiring crutches, wheelchair, cane, etc. The rest of the day I was in bed. I woke up the following morning, and the pain from the procedure was far worse than it was immediately after the procedure. I literally could not walk for 6 days. I stayed in bed for the duration. The procedure was done incorrectly.
On the fourth visit, doc showed concern about a car crash I was never in, and welcomed me to his practice, because he had someone else’s paperwork. I let him know this is the fourth time seeing him, and I had a procedure that HE did just a couple of weeks prior. He had nothing to say other than a referral to surgery.
I attempted to get my MRI diagnosis from the front desk for the purpose of a second opinion, and the lady at the front actually got argumentative that I’d want to do that.
I went to another doctor for the same procedure, and the real doctor was able to perform the procedure successfully. This confirmed that Chaudrhy did it wrong.
Bottom line: These guys are another Houston quack-​shack that is more concerned about the number of patients going through, rather than the quality the patients receive. Unless you have no other alternative, avoid Chaudrhy’s practice.
