    5 Stars I've been a patient at Digestive Disease Consultants…read moreof Orange County for many years and have always received excellent care. Recently, I had a health emergency and needed a prompt appointment and procedure. The team scheduled and completed everything within 24 hours -- truly impressive! Dr. David Choi was warm, funny, professional, and made me feel completely at ease during a very stressful time. The entire staff is courteous, prompt, and highly professional. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Choi to anyone seeking top-quality gastroenterology care. Thank you, Dr. Choi and the DDC team!

    So I went to this place for a consultation appointment at 2:30 pm yesterday. I was there on time,…read morethen I checked in and signed a bunch of paperwork that makes medical care so expensive here and exonerates everyone in the process in case I get screwed. Then, I sat down in the lobby patiently awaiting to get my name called. A little later, another gentleman came in and told the front desk that he had a 2:45 appointment, and he did pretty much the same things as I did. After another 5 minutes or so, his name got called and he went inside. I didn't give it much thought thinking he could be seeing a different doctor than mine. Then later, another old lady came in for her appointment, I didn't hear what she said about her appointment time, and she got called rather quickly, but I was still waiting. After half an hour of waiting, my patience was running out, so I went to the front desk and asked them why people who had come after me went in before me. Well, my complaint kinda worked, my name got called and I was put into a room to wait. While I was waiting, I heard a doctor speak to a patient in an adjacent room, and it was a female doctor. I happened to know that my doctor was a female too. So I patiently waited for a good 5-10 minutes, and when I had a pretty good idea that the doctor was done with the patient and was walking out, I opened my door and saw the gentleman with the 2:45 appointment accompanied by a female doctor, who was the very same doctor that would finish me with my consultation in a few minutes. At that point, I was beyond being upset, but I kept my cool. Before I left, I requested a meeting with their office manager who patronized me with some bogus reasons that the front desk young lady was new, it was her 2nd day at work, lack of training, blah, blah, blah. Come on, I had been waiting in the lobby for over half an hour, and she was obviously the more senior one than the other dude. What really troubles me is why they would arrange not to see me with an appointment at 2:30 for a 5-minute consultation, instead they chose to see a patient with an appointment at 2:45 1st for a half an hour visit. Could it be that they enjoyed keeping a foreigner-looking individual waiting as he didn't look he belonged in the 1st place? That I don't really know, I certainly hope not. But isn't it an interesting time in which we live. Full disclosure: I am a Chinese, the gentleman is either a hispanic or southern Asian, the lady is white.

Kavita Singh was awesome - I had no stomach cramps whatsoever from her doing my procedure - she listened to me and removed all of the excess air. It was the best experience I could have asked for with Dr. Singh. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing this procedure.

    Dr. Riff is an excellent physician with outstanding bedside manner. I've been a patient since 2020…read moreand have always trusted and appreciated the care I've received from him. Unfortunately, my recent experience with the office's a staff from their billing department was extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I was blindsided by a past-due bill after two years with no prior notice. When I called to make a payment and understand the delay, I was told that multiple statements had been mailed and voicemails left--none of which I ever received. What was most concerning was the conduct of the billing representative.( I have the name but, not mentioning here) When I calmly asked for an explanation as to why I was being notified after such a long delay, she became defensive, raised her voice, and spoke to me in a disrespectful and aggressive manner. She even threatened to send the account to collections--despite the fact that no such action had been taken during the past two years while the balance was apparently outstanding. This kind of behavior is completely inappropriate and unacceptable, especially in a healthcare setting. When I questioned her tone, the situation escalated further. I was eventually transferred to a supervisor, who took my payment and presented herself professionally; however, the explanation provided still did not justify the delayed billing or the way the situation was handled. While I hold Dr. Riff in very high regard, this experience with this associate with the billing department has severely impacted my overall trust in the practice. No patient should be treated this way. Unfortunately, this has led me to seriously reconsider continuing my care here.

    Dr. Saad is the best physician I have been a patient of by far. I have been going to him for a few…read moreyears. It started when I was desperate for a doctor who could diagnose my complicated GI issues. After going to a few other GI specialists and getting no results, a doctor friend of mine referred me to him. He spent time and did everything he could to first make the right diagnosis. No jumping to prescribe medications or procedures without first confirming he knew what the disease is. Then started a methodical approach until got my complex auto-immune disease under control. I know so many friends and family who have similar problems and most suffer on a daily basis. Some had to do extensive surgeries to treat their problem which often results in many post-op complications. Me, on the other hand, have been back to normal life for years now. I should have written this review a long time ago. The reason I am writing this review now is that he still impressed me again today by his individual attention. I just asked him via a message about referrals and other questions and he responded in minutes! Find another doctor who responds to patient questions this way. You are lucky if you get any response, mostly from an assistant a week later that tells you to make an appointment. You will not regret changing your GI if you are not happy with him/her. If you have an issue that is not resolved, chronic or acute, don't hesitate. He is now part of the UCI health network that is in Tustin. Get a second opinion. You will be happy you did. Sean F.

When I questioned my results and something else in mychart, he sent a short rude response and then hinted at cancelling another test and a follow up. Feels condescending and egotistical. Would NOT feel safe in someone's care that mades you feel this way.
