Dr. Chokshi, who stayed on in the role for the first few months of the Adams administration and is now departing city government as planned in mid-March, explained recent decisions, spoke about the challenges of being the city's health commissioner, especially during a devastating pandemic, and discussed his biggest regrets and accomplishments.
