Dr Challa was very thorough and I felt very safe in his hands. He is very calm with a cute since of humour. He explained diagnostic procedures and performed them well. His office staff was helpful and polite. Other doctors and staff in Methodist Hospital spoke highly of him. I would and have recommended him to others.
