Since this whole summer has been me dealing with being sick, I figured this would be the perfect…read morereview for my 500th! My regular gastroenterologist referred me to Dr. Desai because I guess I have unusual anatomy. I went in for an ERCP but my regular gastroenterologist couldn't complete the surgery and called Dr. Desai to come in and he suggested he try and do the surgery again later that day. I loved that he sat and explained everything that happened and would happen to me and my husband and even allowed my husband back in the surgery room for a few minutes as he knew I was pretty nervous. My husband said while I was in recovery he came out and explained again what he did and actually gave him his direct number with any questions we might have later. Fast forward a couple weeks and I went back to see Dr. Desai as I still wasn't feeling well and he suggested another surgery but he explained everything and why I needed it and totally calmed my fears about everything. He has a wonderful bedside manner and really listens to you and answers your questions in a down to earth way. The office is convenient for me too, located on Blossom in the same building as my primary care doctor so that's awesome! I also adore his office staff! They are so friendly and they get stuff taken care of! I was going to a different gastroenterologist and I like him ok, but I'm not going back to see see anyone but Dr. Desai now!

I was sent to this facility on a referral from my primary care doctor. I was assigned Dr. Bala. I…read morewaited over an hour past my scheduled appointment time. I found him to be quite rude. He would not listen to me. I tried to explain to him that I was sent there on a referral for some very severe problems. I explained to him what I have been doing the past two weeks. He basically told me to go home and keep doing what I was doing that I would be OK. Are you kidding me? If you don't have Covid you don't exist in the world right now. I wouldn't recommend this physician to my dog.

If giving zero stars was possible that's what Gastroenterology Consultants deserves. Horrible…read moreexperience. Chided me for not going to the ER (during COVID). Told me to wait 6 weeks for an upper & lower GI that I was able to do elsewhere in 48 hours. No one EVER returned any of my 10 phone calls until after I'd already moved on with a different practice. Using GC's online appointment option, I waited 13 days to hear back. Their excuses were: the system went down and we're understaffed. Pathetic. Avoid this practice.

[This is a Google post that won't show up - Google hates my mean reviews]. EXTREMELY HORRIBLE…read moreCUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!! The staff here absolutely could not give f**k about their patients. I was supposed to do a "Telehealth" visit with Dr. Kafrouni, and a couple of hours before the appointment I called the office to inform them that I never got any instructions or emails on how to do this "Telehealth" thing. Well, the operator answered and proceeded to help me (don't know why I wasn't referred to a regular office staff). First of all, she told me I wasn't registered with their portal (wrong, I was registered 7 years ago). then she tells me that I already got emails telling me about the Telehealth procedures (wrong, never got them). Then she tells me she will send them again (I still did not get the emails). I kept telling this IQ challenged (i.e. extremely retarded and deaf) person that I still haven't received the emails. This imbecile of a twit of an idiot keeps telling me that I should have them. I repeated to this moron 5x that I did not get the emails nor ever have that remotely resembled instructions on Telehealth. I then asked to speak to the office manager who basically was too busy to trifle with patients (I was on hold over 10 minutes). Once she finally came on, I told her about the "operator's" incompetence, and then she then wanted to slowly walk me through the portal at that point. I told her that I did not expect to wait on the phone so long, and told her that I had to go, and that I probably wouldn't want to be a patient any longer. In summary, just look at this business reviews at their various locations. The reviews don't lie; their practices suck big time, but I guess they make enough money so they really couldn't care less if they piss off a 1000+ patents or more.

I still to this day have never heard or seen Dr Du not even at any follow up appointments. I will keep reposting because somehow it is always taken down!

I met Dr. Yo when I was in the hospital with gallstones. They wouldn't take my gallbladder out then…read moreas I was too sick, so here I am back a few months later. I made an appointment online which was nice and easy and quicker than waiting on hold to do it. There's a few doctors in the office, but you go to his window and sign in and they take your copay and then you wait. And wait. There weren't many people in the waiting room but I waited about 45 minutes past my appointment time which is frustrating but not really surprising. I finally saw his physician's assistant but still has to pay my full co-pay although I didn't see the doctor. So. Huh. The PA was super nice and explained everything well so that was awesome. I needed to schedule my gallbladder surgery for a pretty specific time frame due to vacation times, coworkers vacations, etc. The scheduler said she would get that booked and call me the next day. She didn't. So I called her the day after that. Got her voicemail. Called again. Got her voicemail. This went on for a few days all the while I'm worrying that I can't get everything scheduled. Finally we connected and got things set up but I still had to wait on confirmation. Finally, finally I got the confirmation and could schedule my vacation and my husband's vacation so he can be with me. Ka-chow that was a pain!! I like Dr. Yo really well, and my gastroenterologist recommended him but man his office staff is a little trying. Hopefully I won't have to see him or his staff that often!
