Chaudhuri has achieved significant success. To his great credit
maintains a very modest attitude, makes himself accessible to friends and
countrymen and retains great pride in his Bengali Heritage. He does not dwell
on his success- far from it. He prefers to maintain a low profile. However,
when one realizes that it was only in 1982 that Dr. Chaudhuri achieved his
Orthopedic Board Certifications and did not move into his current environment
until 1985, one can comprehend the significance of his accomplishments in
attaining such prominent position (and success) as Orthopedics surgeon and
Heath Care Businessmen, and developer and political adviser, Philanthropist –
Both in the U.S.A. and abroad while being admired and respected by his patients
and peers, his family and community. These are qualities what make him a
