Has anyone seen Dr Bela Chheda at Kogelnic's office in Mountain View. Can you speak to your experience with her? Is she competent and experienced with ME/CFS? Will she work with you in preparing for disability? Will she work with you as your primary care physician? Any other comments or observations about her practice that might be helpful. Thanks very much!

1. She is very nice and competent. She's been at OMI for a year now, so she's experienced with ME/CFS.
2. I don't know about preparing for disability. Sorry.
3. I don't know if she will be your PCP. BTW, this clinic is very expensive.
4. Although I like her and consult with her, you'll still have to do your own research as ME/CFS is still so hard-to-figure-out. I do disagree with her on a few things, but I'm just a layperson.
Good luck.

I honestly do not know and did not know andreasvq or anything about his circumstances. But I agree, it was very heartbreaking to read at the time (and still is now).
