    Excellent, professional, trustworthy. I've recommended Dr. Cheng to friends who also were very happy with their experience as well.

    I saw Dr Cheng for a second opinion after seeing an opportunistic digger who did my endoscopy and colonoscopy.

    Didn't listen, just a loss of money, and added stress…read more I was hit with the trifecta a) an unnecessary procedure (thankfully didn't go through with) b) an unreasonable cancellation window (Is 7 days a normal window??) and 3) a large ($400?!) cancellation fee I went in for stomach sensitivities and was recommended a procedure looking for celiac, when I made very clear I don't react poorly to gluten, but that is the one thing he focused in on. I later received a second opinion that agreed it felt premature, and not related to my concerns. After I cancelled I found a $400 bill in my mail because I didn't cancel within the 7-day window. Kind of felt like they were getting a payout regardless, just from my initial appointment happening. Be wary of the cancellation window, and make sure the procedure is actually necessary.

    Still ZERO stars, regardless of office's retort. This is probably the worst medical "professional"…read moreexperience I've ever had. Hosseini was worse than useless because I wasted 5+ weeks for a brief zoom session, the only option I was given, which resulted in absolutely no help. He seemed only interested in doing an endoscopy ($$$) after immediately jumping to the unsubstantiated conclusion that my upper abdominal pain was referred pain from my stomach. (It's not - it's muscular). In my opinion, seemed uninformed or just lazy about any gut bacteria information. Just said that's natureopathic care that he doesn't provide. (GI "doctor" doesn't know about dysbiosis or gut bacteria??? Gut bacteria is the foundation of digestion!!) I'd gone out of my way to hand deliver various previous test results including ab ultrasounds to the Walnut Creek office days before so he could refer to them during the zoom session but he didn't have them which wasted even more time.

    I was pretty nervous going here because of all the terrible reviews, but frankly the group in…read moreOakland also had awful reviews and this place was closer to my house. Happy for me, I had a great first experience with Dr. Omar Alshuwaykh! Unlike most of the feedback here, my front office experience was smooth. I called for an appointment, got one with less than 1 week wait. When I went in, I filled out paperwork for maybe 10 minutes and then the doctor saw me right away. We scheduled a follow-up procedure and I was out of there in less than 30 minutes total. Dr. Omar Alshuwaykh was kind and cordial and seemed like a pro (obviously it's hard to really assess medical skill from vibes, but I had positive vibes).

    My experience with Dr. Higa was extremely disappointing and negligent. During a period when I…read morerapidly lost weight and couldn't eat for months, and she dismissed me. I repeatedly asked for an MRI, SIBO breath test, any help in finding answers. She delayed treatment, and instead prescribed multiple mostly over the counter medications (very high doses of prilosec, miralax, gasx...) that made my condition worse. I continued to decline until I went to the ER twice, had severe tachycardia, lost income from work, and another doctor finally diagnosed me with severe SIBO and a hernia. Throughout this time, I received almost no communication--no responses to multiple messages or calls--and her staff would only offer appointments six months out based on her approval, which never came. As a long-time patient, it felt like she had checked out of caring for my health. I later learned from a second opinion that the colonoscopies she recommended for me weren't medically necessary every other year. Every TEN years was sufficient! My primary care doctor, who knows her personally, even told me she was nearing retirement and seemed "checked out," and that other patients had gone through similar experiences. From my perspective, it often felt like financial priorities were put ahead of my actual care. Based on what I went through, I believe her management of my case was deeply irresponsible. If I had the resources, I would strongly consider pursuing a formal complaint. I won't return and deeply regret recommending her to others. A terrible excuse for a so called doctor, and an embarrassment to the human race.

She thanked me for the transparency, and she did her best. Afterwords, she let me know that even though she didn't see anything concerning, that she wanted me to return, and expressed that she would make sure that the prep kit I use on the follow up will be a different one. I really her, her anesthesiologist and staff. Nothing but good things to say. Thank you Dr. Higa.
