Note: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See Rule 13d-7(b) for other parties to whom copies are to be sent

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the acquisition by Andrew E. Gold and Ronit Gold, both individual citizens of the United States, of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Chindex International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 7201 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814.

(a) This Schedule 13D is filed jointly by Andrew E. Gold and Ronit Gold, a married couple (collectively, the “Golds”).

Mrs. Gold’s principal occupation is as a pre-school teacher. Mr. Gold’s principal occupation is as a self-employed investor.

(d) - (e) During the last five years, neither of the Golds have been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in or causing him to be subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting activities or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws on finding any violation of such laws.

On July 21, 2003, the Golds acquired 2,800 shares of Common Stock on the open market at a price of $24.56 per share for a total purchase price of $68,768. As of July 21, 2003, the Golds had acquired 38,866 shares of Common Stock on the open market.

The Golds currently hold 96,699 shares of Common Stock, all of which were purchased on the open market.

The Golds purchased all of these shares through personal joint trading accounts. The Golds periodically effect purchases of shares through margin accounts maintained for the Golds with Electronic Trading Group, LLC which may extend credit to the Golds as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the firm’s credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of the debit balances in the account. The funds used to make these purchases were not otherwise borrowed or obtained.

The transactions were solely for investment purposes. The Golds intend to review, from time to time, their investment in the Company on the basis of various factors, including but not limited to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities market in general and the market for the Company’s securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon those considerations, the Golds may decide to acquire additional shares of Common Stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or to dispose of all or a portion of the Common Stock that they own.

Except as set forth above, the Golds have not formulated any plans or proposals of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

On July 21, 2003, the Golds purchased 2,800 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which made them the beneficial owners of 38,866 shares of Common Stock accounting for, at that time, 5.262% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

On January 8, 2004, the Golds sold 9,818 shares of Common Stock reducing the shares they beneficially owned to 68,083 shares or 4.475% of the shares of Common stock then outstanding.
