This review is overdue, but I recently drove by Dr. Eshaghian's office again, and I knew I just had Yelp this place like yesterday. I am not prone to rating doctors unless they are truly amazing and trustworthy, and I can say he is one of them. I was in a really dark time both mentally and physically, and he was able to bring clarity without dismissing how I felt and that made me realize he actually cared about me as a patient.
Growing up, I was the girl with constant stomach issues. The doctors I saw back then always told me I had gastritis; so I received many meds for it, on and off over the years. However, I experienced new and increasing symptoms months before coming here. I was told by my insurance I had to wait close to a year for those procedures because that's the reality for many with medical insurance. I felt horrible every day and the pains were more frequent, so I decided to search for another Gastroenterologist and that's how I came across United Gastroenterologists and of course, Dr. E., and I highly recommend seeing him for the following reasons:
He listened to my symptoms and concerns without dismissing any particular worry or interrupting me with the usual "You're too young for that" or "Just take this medication for your symptoms". He always kept a professional and respectful bedside manner, plus he made me feel comfortable and at ease while discussing my issues and never rushed me out the door. He scheduled me for my procedures less than a month after I first saw him, and I had no complications during or after any of the two procedures.
Since neither of the two procedures showed further issues (I didn't even have Gastritis!), he suggested I take a Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth test (which no other doctor had ever mentioned before) because many of my symptoms overlapped with SIBO. Well, I eventually got the SIBO test through my referral with the other GI specialist and I tested positive! Despite that, I'm glad I came across Dr. Eshaghian and he was able to perform those procedures ahead of time because no one should have to wait A YEAR for such crucial and potentially life-saving procedures!
I also believe every person with chronic gastrointestinal issues should definitely see a gastroenterologist (Dr. E) because there's nothing better than getting a proper diagnosis with the right specialist. read more
