Dr Kochhar is such a pleasant and outstanding physician in his field of expertise. I have had multiple surgeries from a facial tumor I had that caused facial paralysis and facial drooping. Dr Kochhar is very compassionate, caring and encouraging. I'm happy to have him as my surgeon. I'm happy to have found Dr Kochhar.
