Ashish C. Chaudhari, MD

When I was young, I had significant difficulties with allergies and asthma. I also had my fair share of orthopedic injuries. I was fortunate enough to have a caring team of physicians (a pediatrician, an allergist, and an orthopedic surgeon) caring for me. This early experience and my mother being a nurse pointed me in the direction of medicine. My older sister had a similar calling, so I chose to follow the path they forged. As a physician, I work with my patients and at times, their families and loved ones. Often, my patient's family members need care, comfort, advice, and support as well. Very seldom is someone treated in isolation. In family medicine, taking care of all family members gives invaluable insight into the entire family. In primary care, we have an advantage over those seeing isolated individuals. We know the back story which illuminates things that might otherwise be unexplored. To me, a successful outcome is: Seeing healthy, happy, well-adjusted children Treating someone for anxiety, depression, or grief and helping them arrive at a place of peace Watching children engaged with and enjoying their grandparents Helping my patients to live with the highest quality of life possible My wife and I are involved in the Concord community through Concord Crew and the local soccer scene in Bow, NH. We homeschooled all 6 of our children. We love camping, hiking, skiing, and bike riding. I enjoy this community and I am excited and grateful to join the team here to continue serving patients in Concord.

My care begins with being a good listener and giving patients the time they need to explain their concerns. I answer their questions with language that is clear, honest, and without using too many medical terms. My goal is to help my patients feel empowered to improve their health. I go beyond doing my patients’ routine obstetrical or gynecological care. I do whatever it takes to help my patients find the answers to their questions, including doing extra research and reaching out to colleagues. I help them navigate the health care system by finding specialists, getting them the prescriptions they need, or writing letters to get approval for a much-needed surgery. It gives me so much joy to see my patient's health improve. I am proud to be a strong advocate for my patients and go the extra mile for their well-being.

My goal is to work with families to do what’s best for their children. I went into the field of pediatrics because I enjoy taking care of kids – they are all so creative, funny, and unique. I love caring for children as they grow and develop through the stages of life. It’s an honor to work with children and their families each step of the way. I am patient and easy to talk to, and I will treat your child with the same compassion and commitment that I would want from someone taking care of my own children.
