Did not write down some symptoms I reported in my medical notes. Seems nice to talk too and recognizes my main diagnoses and any questions.

I'm hoping something is not missed and that my past psych diagnoses did not affect decision making with me. She's aware of my conditions although felt not much time for them in relation to gastro. My neuro muscular doc was trying to get details on her notes, on our consult, and he noticed not much details although found the test he was looking for.

After tests came back normal I was dismissed to getting any resolution to a root cause. I have a few really good DR's in my corner but had yet to find a good GI doctor that actually cared. I came across Dr. Takyar on a Google search and he had good reviews. He put a plan of action together, followed up and has been super supportive for treatment. I am very thankful that I came across him. He answers messages quickly and I don't feel like I am dismissed with him. I feel relieved that I finally found a good GI doctor that can help me. They are a rarity. His office even sent me a follow up card after surgery. Great experience with him, the Sutter location on Lone tree and his staff.

I now got a bill for $500! Do not go to this office! They lied to me about the price and are defrauding insurance companies. I am not paying $500 to be told to take Metamucil during a consult.

Dr. Igbal was very polite as he asked questions and he was receptive as I asked questions in return. I had my Colonoscopy today 11/6/18, and the staff as well as Dr. Igbal provided "excellent" care. I have no pain at all and I cannot say enough about the outstanding care I received from start to finish. I am now questioning the previous reviews as to the validity. I almost did not come due to the prior negative reviews. Overall, I am more than happy that I took a chance. Dr. Igbal knows what he is doing and I do not have a preforated bowel like some may have had from other GI doctors. I am grateful, I will refer other's and I will return. I do not know if Dr. Igbal reads these reviews. If he does, I thank him dearly.

If this is the case, there is a complicated form for referring physician to fill out to get accepted to his office. This office gets 600 referrals a month, so, if they do decide to see you, the first appointment might be in 3 months. They should just say they are not taking new patients instead of giving you the run-around. I spent over 2 hours with this office trying to get an appointment.

I was trying to be very careful about avoiding gluten but I was still so sick and my doctors had me on so many different medications. I believe side effects and drug interactions were adding to the problem. So I took a chance and contacted a fellow integrative medicine doctor of Dr. Burkhart's, Dr. Jessica Madden. I explained all the symptoms I was having and how I would often end up in the ER with acute lower abdominal pain. Since her practice was located too far away she felt Dr. Burkhart, who is located in Napa, would be more accessible. Although the trip from Bakersfield, where I was living at the time, was still a bit far I decided to contact her and set up an appointment. I was so glad I went because she helped me learn better ways to avoid gluten and manage the disease. I felt a lot better by the time my next appointment came around and I was taking a lot less of the medications I was prescribed. She specializes in all kinds of digestive disorders, like IBS and Chronn's disease, and has Celiac herself. So she can also relate to her patient's health issues, really cares about her patients and knows how to help. I would recommend her to anyone who is suffering from Celiac or any other digestive problem because I can confidently say you'll start feeling so much better once you do!

I had been to a doctor who "thought" he knew how to heal leaky gut, but it continued to get worse over 10+ years until my IBS and leaky gut sent me to the ER. At that point I started going to a Naturalpath, as it was obvious I was not on the right path. She ran many many tests at a lot of $$ since neither she, nor the tests, were covered by insurance. The tests gave me a lot of great information and I was able to continue with the supplements she had recommended. It helped immensely that one tests identified 5 major food sentivities and removing them from my diet help alot. But a couple years after that, my gut got really bad again and I was always in pain, exhausted and sick. I had 4 friend who had been seeing Dr Varon and at their recommendation I finally made an appointment with him. His healing protocol for my leaky gut, the cause of my belly pain works. It isn't cheap, but it is way cheaper than getting cancer and digestive cancers run very strongly on both sides of my family. Again I am feeling much better and evey time I have another followup with Dr Varon he makes a change in my morning shake which makes my feel a little better still. The only thing I can figure on why he has so many bad reviews are due to preconceived expectations. Just because another doctor, or your own research shows other supplements may help, they are not generally part of a full protocol for healing. If you see him, are open to what he says, respect his knowledge and ask questions at the end of your appointment you will find healing without big pharma and a wonderful doctor. If you just want surgery and/or pharmaceuticals, he is not the doctor for you. It's obvious in our society that many people don't want to do the work, they just want a quick fix that doesn't inconvenience them, but that doesn't generate health

The doctor himself is acceptable... Nothing special ...good or bad. However, we have found his…read morestaff to be completely incompetent. We sent a specific email indicating what type of feeding tube he wanted installed on the next appointment and gave the date and the specifics. When we arrived for the appointment at his office they said sorry, we cannot do this in the office! You need to have an outpatient procedure at the hospital. And the next appt was three weeks away. Meanwhile his feeding tube has been leaking. What a waste of money and time for them to do it as an outpatient. It is a five minute swap of a feeding tube! So, the date came for the appointment at the outpatient clinic and they called the night before and said "Ooops, we don't have the right feeding tube for you." If Napa had more choices in Specialists... We would certainly move on to someone else. We have been attempting to get a feeding tube change since October and it is now the middle of January!

That procedure killed my husband. Everything went wrong. The doctor had nothing to say or do while I was panicking. I asked him, if this was your dad, what would you do? He said everything would be fine, but it wasn't. After everything went wrong, this doctor didn't even bother to do anything. Within minutes, my husband was gone. A mistake like that will never bring him back. He was too busy seeing 25 to 30 patients a day and doing procedures. He had no time for serious patients. I tried to talk to him when I knew my husband was not going to make it, but there was no care. I filed a complaint with the medical board and received documentation outlining concerns about his care, although I was told there was not enough for stronger action. After that, he moved his practice from Lodi to another location. There is so much more to say, but I will leave it at this. I hope no one else goes through this. I hope I'm not too late writing this.
