Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Communications and Procedure
Dr. Dewanwala and her staff are very friendly, communicate well and made me feel so comfortable even though it was my first procedure with her. Dr. Dewanwala checked in on me before and after my procedure and her confidence made me trust her so easily. Highly recommend her!!

Long Wait Time
Appointment was for 1015, we arrived at 1000. At 1130 we had still haf not been called back. Talked to the receptionist and she said she is behind, I said so are we. No offer to check when we would be called, so we had to cancel. No offer to make a new appointment. So we had no opportunity to see the Doctor. The receptionist was rude and uncaring.

They messed up my billing, used the wrong codes, and instead of being apologetic I got a very rude receptionist who made sure not to help in any way she could. Still waiting on her office to respond.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Dewanwala for any gastro problem. This Doctor is one of the most caring and attentive Doctors' I've experienced in my 63 years. The people that know who the good Doctors are, are the nurses. Ask any one of the nurses and they will recommend this doctor. Dr D. takes her time during the case and inspects every part, she doesn't miss anything. She will spend as much time as you need to help you understand your situation. The other reviewer had an office visit problem but I bet that will not happen again. You are only cheating yourself if you don't choose Dr. D.

I made an appointment three months out. I negotiated a day off from work to attend the appointment by working all seven days the preceding week. I took critical time away from my 7yo with special needs and paid $150 in weekend childcare expenses to get the day off today to attend the appointment. I told the receptionist when I made the appointment that I’d have different insurance at the next appointment. While working a sixty hour week last week, I missed a call about the insurance change because I assumed it was an appointment confirmation. THEY GAVE MY APPOINTMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE. I’M SITTING HERE ON MY FIRST DAY OFF IN EIGHT DAYS WAITING TO BE SQUEEZED IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT THEY GAVE TO SOMEONE ELSE DESPITE MY HARD EFFORTS TO REARRANGE EVERYTHING TO ATTEND. SERIOUSLY?! Seriously. The receptionist wasn’t even sorry, she was positive snotty about it. “I wasn’t here when you made the appointment,” she said, rolling her eyes.
