Dr. Martyak is what I wish all of us in the profession could be-very current on knowledge, thoughtful, empathetic, and deeply caring. Dr. Martyak treats me for GI complications caused by other medications that I have to take despite their horrible side effects. She thinks outside the box and goes the extra mile to make sure I'm okay. I go years without needing her aside from the recommended GI maintenance, and then there are times during which I desperately need her help. She and her amazing front office are there every time. Dr. Martyak recognizes that this stuff is hard for most of us to talk about, including me. You can say anything and she will receive it with concern and a deep understanding of how important personal dignity is. I love that she keeps both short term comfort and symptom management as well as long term plans front and center. I cannot recommend her highly enough. My husband is also a patient of hers and would agree wholeheartedly. I take tremendous comfort in knowing that she is ready and willing to take on my rather complex GI issues with a true understanding of how hard this stuff can be on your quality of life. There are not enough stars to rate her as I'd truly like to. She's a godsend and I feel so much better both physically and emotionally in her care.

    I'm keeping my original review for continuity. This update is to show, using my own documentation,…read morehow biased and prejudicial language in medical notes can permanently distort a patient's credibility and access to care. I count myself lucky I met my new GI doctor, although treatment is complicated now because of my worsening injuries. Over the past four years I've had time to study what happened, review my records, and talk with professionals who helped me understand how the bias in my care took shape. The pain I was in left me cognitively impaired for a long time, which made it hard to see how dismissive the treatment really was while it was happening. Because of the wording used in my chart -- phrases like "patient is convinced" and "very likely psychosomatic" -- it's very likely the kind of language that led other doctors to dismiss my concerns and assume the problem was psychological. My injuries worsened, the connective tissue in my abdomen continued to tear, and I lost muscle support through my torso. A genetic condition was also upregulated and my skin permanently traumatized. That language still follows me through my medical record and continues to influence how I'm treated. Nearly four years later, I'm still trying to recover from my injury and the physical and psychological damage caused by dismissive, biased documentation and the prejudice that began in this office. I'm including Dr. Nowain's original notes, and other records that corroborate both the intense pain I was really in, the celiac artery compression and soft tissue damage, and the continual gaslighting using prejudicial language to dismiss my accounts and leave me in pain and suffering. These are all before the injury worsened. I can still hear Dr. Nowain's voice from that day in his office -- angry, certain: "You're having a panic attack!" When I said I wasn't, he replied, "That sounds just like something someone having a panic attack would say." It still plays in my head like I heard it yesterday. So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. Best of luck in all your health journeys, and remember: "One foot in front of the other, bravely forward. Always."

    I really hate to leave this review because Dr Dixit is very kind…read more However, I can't give him 5 stars for his medical ability. If you need a colonoscopy or an endoscopy and that's it, then I highly recommend Dr Dixit. If, however, you are having mystery symptoms and need help diagnosing them, I would not recommend him. He is not a very skilled diagnostician in the GI field and regularly wrote me off when I tried to broach concerns with him. He left me in limbo about Barret's Esophagus for a year (when another GI was able to clearly tell me I did not have it.) Despite being hospitalized 5 days in a row, his office refused to squeeze me in and wouldnt see me for a month. If the doctor is truly that busy, then that's fine, but I just cant see a doctor that refuses to see established patients who are having emergency level symptoms. When his office refused to see me, I sent him images, which he said he couldn't read and suggested I wait until my liver starts to fail before I remove my gallbladder. Needless to say, I found another doctor who was able to see me quickly and help. Take the feedback for what is is - if you just need a basic colonoscopy, then I highly recommend him. If you need a doctor who will help you resolve/solve/diagnose issues, I'd search elsewhere.

When a doctor enters the room and starts asking about you , where u are from and about your family instead of just looking at paperwork and getting right to business you know you are on the right path. Dr.Dixit is very personable and clearly knows what he's doing. Even on the day of the colonoscopy he was in the procedure room talking about puppies and making me feel at ease. You can't find doctors this cool nowadays. Would be nice to have Dr.Dixit as my GP. Trust me, you can't go wrong here for a colonoscopy with Dr. Dixit. As far as the office goes. Everyone there seemed quite nice. Very quick and quiet with Covid-19.

UCLA Gastroenterology, please get your act together. How did you guys book me with a doctor who doesn't do this procedure, and you just caught it after I booked the appointment almost 2 months ago? I just wasted 6 months going back and forth with UCLA. The next available appointment isn't for about 3 months for now. Word of advice to you if you're reading this: call UCLA to make sure they actually set you up with a doctor who is authorized to handle your procedure. Look elsewhere if you want to get care from a team that has their operations set up effectively. This feels like a terrible April Fool's joke.
