Chams Albert N, MD

Billing department has its issues. We had two insurance my insurance and my wifes insurance they paid all of the bills the billing department could not follow up on the bills that were already paid it called a lawyer and taking this to court the sheriff came to the house and issued my wife the court order to appear in court. I follow up call to the doctors office to check on the bills and they told me it was paid 3 months prior I never followed up while my wife is pregnant at the time 8 months pregnant we decided to move from this doctor in his building department would never recommend him or his building department not my job to resolve their billing issues. But I was told that I should keep up with my bills even know what was paid.

I’ve been going to Dr. Chams for a few years now and he’s great. He’s older, very sensitive, and very caring.
And JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, his office staff is very attentive. My last OB-​GYN was also great but her office was terrible– physically dirty, rude staff, ridiculously long wait times, etc, and so it’s just not worth it. Dr. Chams office, however, is great in terms of cleanliness, wait times, attentiveness, and politeness! (I go to the Peterson Office).

I give Dr. Chams 3 stars because he is indeed A-​OK.
I went to Dr. Chams a couple times last year. I was newer to the area at the time and didn’t have a GYN yet, and, being the last-​minute person I am, I needed to see one quick. I could get an appointment with him within a day or two of calling.
I would normally go to a female GYN, and I was surprised at how comfortable I felt with Dr. Chams. He was, as I think another reviewer said, very grandfatherly in a way. His French accent adds to his endearing nature for sure.
The second time I visited it was because I was worrying about something I wanted him to look at, and after seeing me briefly he reassured me that there was nothing to worry about. Since it was such a brief visit (but I still had to pay the copay), he gave me three months of my birth control pill for free.
Even though Dr. Chams was really nice and accommodating, I didn’t feel like he educated me the way I would like to be by my GYN. I also felt like I wanted to develop a relationship with a doc who would ultimately deliver any babies I might have a few years down the road.

I am a sexuality educator and very particular about my GYNs. Having just moved here, I was dreading the process of finding a new one but Dr. Chams was amazing. I had a particular issue that I had to follow up on and he handled it beautifully. He answered all my questions, gave me thoughtful responses and I trusted his judgement. Even more important he didn’t try to pitch procedures or medications and in fact saved me money. The exam was comfortable and he gave me lots of good information about my body in particular. I really appreciated his time, care and sensitivity to my needs.

He’s old, but very professional. He keeps his knowledge up to date and he’s french.

I also LOVE Dr. Chams. He’s fantastic and extremely knowledgable.
I have a recommendation for anyone trying to get pregnant, though: Neither Dr. Albert or Dr. Joyce deliver babies anymore. They will tell you that they will get you through the first trimester and then refer you to another doctor. Don’t wait that long.
When the time came for me to transfer, even doctors I had been referred to were weird about taking me «so far along» (12 weeks.) Make it easy on yourself and start calling OBs at 8 weeks or so. As much as I love Dr. Chams, I’m bummed that transferring was such a pain.

I love Dr Chams. He is an older guy, but he keeps up with the latest procedures. This is probably because he practices with his daughter, who is also very good. I can always ask him about something I read about or saw on TV and he can tell me what is good or bad about it. He takes very good care of his patients! He is no longer delivering babies due to the high cost of malpractice, but he does have his daughter and another associate who do. Multiple locations and hours.
