After graduating from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry in 1990, with a fascination of the mind, I specialized in Psychiatry and have been practicing for over 28 years. I have channeled my love of teaching towards an academic posting as a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alberta and act as a preceptor for students and residents.

I only had to see Dr.Chokka once but based on what he told me I'm super impressed his approach to figuring me out. I found him to be caring in wanting to understand my struggles yet upfront about where my problems were in moving forward. If he is in fact correct in what meds to take and treatment plan to follow in terms of behavioral therapy well I only wish I had met him sooner. Past psychiatrist specifically went off family history and the meds never worked for me ... I felt Dr.Chokka took proper time to understand me as a person from the time I was younger until now... We went through every

Dr. Chokka saved my life. I had been diagnosed with various things through out my childhood, teen years, young adult hood. I came to Chokka in a very dark place with little hope. I had been around the block and nothing had helped me stabilize my life. Dr. Chokka assessed me, saw my pain and helped me seek the treatment I needed. I followed through with everything Dr. Chokka ever suggested I do and my life proceeding got a lot better. I am now on my way to a very happy lifeDr. Chokka is a kind, understanding and eager Psychiatrist who has given me a new lease on life. I highly recommend the Chokka

Dr. Chokka at the Chokka center has been of great help. He has a lot of knowledge and he is trying his best to have treatments work as soon as possible for my most urgent mental issues. I see a lot of negative reviews on here which I find somewhat saddening, given the fact that my rereferral to Dr. Chokka has been of great assistance because the family doctor was out of their wheelhouse when dealing with my mental illness. Dr. Chokka himself has been taking my illness seriously and not undermining its significance. He has also been kind and understanding by asking certain questions such as how

Really positive experience. Dr. Pratap Chokka really knows his stuff. Im am so in awe of his expertise. Diagnosed within 1 1/2 hours and what a relief it is to find this psychological/emotional freedom. It all makes sense now. Thank you so much for freeing me of this struggle since childhood! I can now carry on without this obstacle in my life. Very professional staff, courteous, and engaging. I definitely will be staying connected with the Chokka Centerfor integrative health! 5 stars!

Couldn't be happier with the treatment I receive here! Went through so many doctors for years and they couldn't find the answer, then finally I had my 1st visit with Dr.Hamill almost 2 years ago and hes changed my life. He takes the time to listen to you and not rush your appointments, genuinely cares about your health, and remembers things weve talked about in the past. The front staff is also very kind in person and over the phone. So overall will continue to be a patient here and have absolutely no plans in switching psychiatrists. Thank you for all you do!

He had a prescription printed off, sitting on his desk before I even sat in the office. He didn't help with possible ways to ease my issues, just gave me a prescription and requested I see one of his colleagues. When introducing me to his colleague the colleague actually swore in front of my toddler like it was no big deal. The medication that was prescribed was not to be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding. At the time I was breastfeeding. But he didn't bother to ask even though my newborn was with me. Ultimately I was very disappointed with the appointment that started off with a 3-hour wait

I know some reviews are unhappy with having medications prescribed but that's what psychiatrist work with and why I went to see Dr. Chokka.
When I first wrote this, my appointment was cancelled. But they got me rebooked within a week!
Chokka was very kind and listen to me carefully. He even asked to see my art!
He diagnosed me with 2 things. 1 was something suspected that no one believed me about. The other was something I never thought of but made so much sense when he explained it to me. He believes I was misdiagnosed and gave me new medication and suggestions for things to work on with my
