About Sandhya Chanda, MD
My goal is to provide personalized care to my patients both in the office and in hospital settings. As a board-certified internal medicine physician with more than 22 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient medicine, I am one of only a handful of doctors who provide care not only in the office, but also in the hospital when you really need continuity of care. I believe in taking the time to carefully listen to my patients’ concerns and developing an individualized plan for them to achieve better health and well-being.
I also believe in preventive care so that we can seek to achieve good health and wellness. I enjoy taking care of patients with complicated medical conditions, but my effort is to always try and improve wellness so that many chronic diseases can either be avoided or treated early with as few medications as possible. I have a special interest in women’s health, nutrition, preventive health and wellness. I speak fluent English, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali.
I look forward to being your partner in your journey so we may work together to reach your healthcare goals.

Dr. Chanda was very helpful in managing my 10 medications after heart surgery. The main problem was with the Beta Blocker medicine. It was driving my blood pressure to a very low level that was incompasitating me. Once I stopped the Beta Blocker medicine my recovery went very smoothly.

Dr. Sandhya Chanda is the best doctor I've ever had. She is extremely professional while being quite caring and kind. She is a true problem solver in her diagnosis of issues. She always makes herself available if not in person, by text. Her staff is excellent and extremely accomodating. I have referred several friends to her and her practice.

I have struggled in the past and now I’m feeling so much better.

Dr. Chanda is an excellent doctor with a kind heart. She is very supportive, listens intently and gives you time and her undivided attention so you do not feel rushed. She does not try to minimize or invalidate your concerns.
I originally chose Dr. Chanda for my mother and found her to be very empathetic and caring not only to my mom, but as my mother's caregiver she extended that to me. Dr. Chanda communicated very well and understood the complexities of our situation.
I am very happy that I have now chosen her to be my doctor and feel safe in her care.
Thank you to Dr. Chanda and her wonderful nurses and support staff

My late wife and I have been patients of Dr. Chanda for several years. My wife died recently after a lengthy declining health. Dr. Chanda is not only an outstanding physician, she is also kind, compassionate and understanding. She was always available to us 24x7. She is a wonderful human being. My wife was always boosted in her morale after a visit with Dr. Chanda. I hope to continue to be Dr. Chanda’s patient for a long time.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chanda’s for 6 months now and wanted to write a few words to share my thoughts.
Simply put, Dr. Chanda is an extraordinary physician, skilled and deeply knowledgeable. She is gracious and caring, attentive (listens carefully) and recognizes that healthcare is a true partnership between provider and patient. Compassionate and empathetic, Dr. Chanda is an exceptional individual.
I have been extremely pleased and immensely grateful for Dr. Chanda’s care and support. I am very fortunate to have found her practice.

Dr. Chanda and Dr. Gill, with their exceptional team, are the best of the best! They’re deeply knowledgeable, very responsive, and spend however long it takes listening to ensure every patient is heard. Their care has been absolutely critical to maintaining my health. I’m lucky and blessed to have found this outstanding practice.

I have a great experience with Dr. Chanda so far. Before coming here, I had pretty much avoided going to the doctor for several years because I felt I was healthy enough and most did not really give me any actionable answers to any health issue I would face. I feel like Dr. Chanda not only listens but is in a problem solving mode and works with me to help find solutions to get to my best health. I am so grateful to have found this practice and would highly recommend her. She truly is a wealth of knowledge and caring person.

Until I started seeing Dr. Chanda, going to the doctor felt like a 10 minute rubber stamp process - no actual care for me as an individual. I was amazed after my first appointment with her. There was no rush - we actually spoke to each other. I felt heard and understood as a whole person - not an assortment of stats and symptoms. After that first experience I arranged for my family to see Dr. Chanda as well - all of whom are impressed with her care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chandas for many years now and I will never go elsewhere. From my very first visit with her, I have felt that she truly listens and values her role in not only my sick-care but my overall health-care. She is a highly skilled physician who seems interested in learning and applying new knowledge and treatment. Her proficiency, professionalism and compassion are traits that seems to be diminishing with some other providers that I have encountered. I have referred many of my friends to this practice and will continue to sing their praises.

My husband and I began seeing Dr. Chanda in the spring of 2023 when our former doctor retired. We have been very pleased with the excellent service she and her staff continue to provide. They have been unfailingly kind, knowledgeable, caring and available quickly when we have needed their assistance.

Dr. Chanda is an amazing doctor. She is always available when I need her, and she goes above and beyond to provide me with the best care possible.
One example that stands out is when I suddenly came down with a very high fever on a Sunday. Dr. Chanda made time to see me the first thing on Monday morning, and she immediately gave me an injectable antibiotic. I continued to get injections and IVs in her office daily all week, which allowed me to avoid going to the ER.
It turns out that I had a horrible bacterial infection, and Dr. Chanda's prompt treatment was essential to my recovery. I am almost positive that without seeing her so quickly I would have had an extended ER stay. I am so grateful for her care and expertise.
In addition to her medical knowledge and skills, Dr. Chanda is also a very caring and compassionate doctor. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns, and she explains everything to me in a clear and concise way. She also makes sure that I understand all of my options before making any decisions about my care. She even will check in with me (unprompted) when I am not feeling well. I've never had that before!
I highly recommend Dr. Chanda to anyone looking for a caring, competent, and thorough doctor. She is one of the best doctors I have ever had.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chanda's for several years. I began seeing her after being diagnosed with a chronic condition. Dr. Chanda is the very best PCP I've ever seen. She takes her time to understand the issues and concerns and asks lots of questions. She is thorough, listens carefully, and is never rushed. She has such a warm personality and possesses excellent bedside manner. She seems to really care about her patients and keeping them healthy! I highly recommend Dr. Chanda to anyone seeking a skilled and caring PCP.

From the first appt., Dr. Chanda actually listened to what I was saying and took the time to try and understand the bigger picture of my health, not just “what hurts today?” She is trying to help me navigate getting the healthcare I need. She does not have all the answers, but she connects me to the right people. She is caring and compassionate and always willing to listen, even if she can only offer advise in the moment. I appreciate that she shares successful best practices between her similar patients and she is always willing to look into new ideas that could help her patients. It is really nice to work with a Doctor who I feel is honest and realistic who can also relate to me as a person… not just another appointment. ❤️

Dr. Chanda is one of the best primary care physicians I’ve had the privilege to meet along my health journey. She is happy to not only hear but thoroughly LISTEN to your medical concerns and be actionable about doing what can be done to alleviate them. With each visit comes improvement in health. She is patient, kind, attentive, thorough, knowledgeable and passionate about her profession and it effortlessly shines through. Her staff is equally as phenomenal so overall, 10/10 recommend. Thank you Dr. Chanda!

I feel very lucky to have Dr. Chanda as my PCP. This is the first time in my life that I have a doctor who is looking at me in entirety and offering suggestions, advice and a plan for my overall health. She is also super kind and knowledgeable in the latest treatments and tests available.
Dr. Chanda is also the PCP for my two daughters who are both in college. Her virtual option and responsiveness have helped them while they are away at school - and they love talking to her. I really cannot say enough good things about Dr. Chanda and the wonderful people in her practice!

Dr Chanda is very caring I moved to Ohio in December and I called her when I was sick and she ordered Blood Work and medications for me …..I was diagnosed as having Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia and she assured me and explained that I’ll be OK.
I still text her when I’m feeling bad and Dr Chanda calls or texts me…

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Chanda for six months now. She, and her staff are terrific. We're so glad we found Dr. Chanda when we did. It makes a huge difference to be able to see our doctor when we need to, not two months from now. Plus, Dr. Chanda takes whatever time is needed to listen to you and explains things in a simple way , but not condescending.

Dr. Chanda and her staff are amazing! It’s taken only two visits to address and find solutions for ongoing issues that my previous doctor chalked up to “getting older”. The front desk staff are kind and friendly. The medical staff makes you feel comfortable. They take their time and you never feel rushed. They don’t judge but offer solutions.

Dr. Chanda is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had. She is compassionate and approachable while maintaining her professionalism and open-mindedness. Her communication skills are outstanding - she listens carefully and explains your treatment options thoroughly. She is constantly searching for new therapies that may better suit your condition and lifestyle. Perhaps best if all, she takes her time. I have never felt rushed nor have I left her office with open questions.
I am fortunate to have found her at a time when my medical needs are increasing. She closely followed my progress through a recent hospitalization and coordinated my care with various specialists. If you are searching for a Primary Care Physician you can’t do better than Dr. Chanda.

I recently switched over to Dr Chanda after my PCP left my previous practice and recommended her to me. I could not be happier the recommendation. Dr Chanda has gone above and beyond with my care, when I had a medical issue out of town she helped me manage that situation via text and phone and when I need to see her, she always finds a way to get me in. The virtual option has come in handy on days that I could not get to the office and her in-office care is just exceptional. She ALWAYS finds a way. I was with the same PCP for 13 years and I loved her, when she left the practice I was at before I was very concerned that I would not find a PCP I felt was as attentive, thorough, and caring but Dr Chanda is just wonderful, as is her office staff. Cannot say enough good things about her!

I have been a patient of Doctor Chanda for a little over one year. She came highly recommended to me by my daughter, who is also a doctor, and a patient. Doctor Chanda does not rush through my time with her. Her office staff is pleasant, friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a new GP, I would highly recommend this practice.

I chose Dr. Chanda as my PCP shortly after an extend visit to the hospital. Dr. Chanda has been an amazingly compassionate physican from the very beginning. She takes her time during visits, goes over lab results in detail, and focuses on my concerns not just the results of tests, all without judgement. Scheduling appointments is quick, the entire office is incredibly nice, and location is convenient. I highly recommend Dr. Chanda and her practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
