I've been hospitlized for 6 days now - she's the consulting GI doctor and has tossed the idea several times that I have Ulcerative Colitis - yet, seems to refuse to confirm the diagnosis with a colonoscopy that even the attending phys and RN's here at the hospital are demanding. DO NOT - and NO this is not my first experience with this quack with the health issues I have but seems to be the only dr in Denton the hospitals use.

My experience with Dr. Vijaya M Dasari at North Texas Gastroenterology was extremely disappointing…read more I had called in advance to inquire if testing for food allergies or sensitivities was available, and I was told that it was. However, when I had my appointment on Friday, September 27th, things quickly went downhill. My appointment was scheduled for 5:15 PM, but I was not seen until 5:45 PM. When I finally met with Dr. Dasari, I expressed concerns about my digestive issues and potential food allergies such as lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity. Dr. Dasari informed me that there was no way to test for lactose intolerance except through elimination from my diet, which was both surprising and inaccurate. Upon further research and consultation with another gastroenterologist, I learned that their office offers the lactose breath test, a recognized method for diagnosing lactose intolerance. Additionally, I discovered that a blood sugar test and stool acidity test can also identify lactose intolerance. None of these were mentioned during my visit. When I asked more questions to clarify, Dr. Dasari simply responded, "Well, I'm a doctor," as though that should be the end of the discussion. Being a doctor does not necessarily mean all information provided is correct, as this situation clearly demonstrated. Additionally, I asked Dr. Dasari about gluten sensitivity, as I had taken a DNA test that indicated I am a carrier for celiac disease. Instead of addressing this concern thoroughly, she mentioned that a blood test could be done "next time." She then palpated my abdomen and said, "See that your stomach is soft? You're normal." As I continued to express concerns, she dismissed me, laughed at my face to all my questions, and ignored me, following with an awkward silence and failing to provide clear answers. Throughout the consultation, I felt as though my questions were not taken seriously, and I left feeling embarrassed for having raised legitimate health concerns. Dr. Dasari also emphasized "cleansing and eliminating" as a solution and prescribed GaviLyte, advising me to take Miralax daily after that. I understand this advice, but I was looking for a confirmation by a professional and a proper diagnosis. While I understand that this approach could work, I was looking for medical confirmation rather than a self-diagnosis. I have never experienced such a lack of attention from a medical provider. I left the appointment feeling dismissed, devalued, and frustrated with the overall lack of professionalism and attention to my medical needs. I understand that I'm young, but I still have concerns about my digestive system especially since I've had family members who had passed away from related cancers. It was a really sad experience, I still can't believe she laughed at questions of concerns and answering each of them with "I'm a doctor" and that "I'm too young to have any gastrointestinal issues." She told me to come back after I'm 50, which is apparently when gastrointestinal issues start developing. I would not recommend Dr. Dasari especially if you are younger than 50. This was by far the most unprofessional and unproductive experience I have ever had with a healthcare provider. I ended up seeing another gastroenterologist after. I felt heard and was not neglected. I was diagnosed with IBS and I was also given tests to determine my food allergies and was able to confirm all of my questions. Now that I got the proper diagnosis, I am now able to treat it at a younger age and know what to do to prevent potential future health issues to myself.

That is extremely important information that should have been communicated when my appointment was confirmed. Instead, I was left believing I would be seeing the provider I originally scheduled with. This wasted my time and created unnecessary frustration. I understand that providers retire and circumstances change, but patients deserve to be informed about significant changes that affect their appointments and care. Simply confirming an appointment while withholding such important information is unacceptable. I strongly encourage this office to improve its communication with patients. Our time matters, and we should not have to arrive for an appointment to discover information that should have been provided to us beforehand.

Having learned to be my own advocate for health care, I am extremely particular about who I trust to take care of me.

Also, his practice offers an after hours/weekend clinic that staffed on a rotation basis but he is there at least one night a week.

First, my gripe of all gripes regarding doctors; there was literally one other patient in the office and yet it took almost 35 minutes for me to see the doctor AFTER I was all registered and done with the paperwork. Almost a full hour after my appointment time! My primary doctor is a very well known doctor in Dallas and has been in business for many more years than Dr Leslie, so he has a patient list that is probably 3x the size of Dr Leslie's. But I never have had to wait there as long as I did in Dr Leslie's office, especially when there is no one else there! To top it off, I did not care for his manner as it seemed I was taking him away from something for the total of 8-10 minutes I spoke with him. Five of which was spent with him just reading to me all the info I had JUST filled out in the waiting area. I assumed he had looked that over before he came in to see me, but as it turned out that was the first time he was looking at it. What had he been doing this whole time? Now, I realize doctors do other things between patient visits and such. I just had the distinct impression that as slow as this office was, if I were to walk around and look at 3 or 4 computer monitors in that office, I would see a lot of solitaire, facebook, travel websites and online poker. I have only been one time and everyone is entitled to a bad day. It just didn't seem as though anyone other than the front desk person (can't remember her name but VERY nice) was doing anything but trying to get a paycheck and do as little else as was necessary. Maybe if you have chronic respiratory problems like emphasema or something, then Dr Leslie warms-up and you become a "regular" and the atmospere is better. But if you're here looking into sleep apnea, don't waste your time or at least don't have high expectations.

I went to a couple of pulmonolgists and was very unhappy until I found Dr. Leslie. He has a fantastic bedside manner, spends time discussing my condition when I am ill and gives me treatments as needed. One of the huge bonuses is his staff. His congenial and helpful staff is what caused me to go ahead and give five stars. The wait in his office has never been too long for me. So far I am very happy with Dr. Leslie and his office. For someone who is aware they will be dealing with lung issues for the rest of their life, and whose condition will only deteriorate with age, Dr. Leslie is a treasure.
