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.

Wow. Looks like others had issues as well!
First visit I thought wow I’ve found me a great doc.Done scope on me and been sick ever since and his office couldn’t care less!I called last Wednesday and told nurse my issues I hadn’t heard back so I called back z Friday still sick.Nurse said hopefully we can get him to respond Monday and I’m thinking your kidding but no she wasn’t.I called back Monday and he still hadn’t responded she then tells me it will be Wednesday before he’s in office again!What good is a doctor u can’t get help from or has no one on call when your sick.After calling management he calls and tells me he will call back next day to check on me which never happened but made me an appointment for Wednesday.I was sick and waited an hour and 45 minutes stuck in that rm and NOONE checked on me.I left after an hour and 45 minutes

Dr Ezi-Ashi - Highly Recommended
Dr. Ezi-Ashi was excellent. Very attentive to my concerns. Very thorough in checking out all possible issues. Performed endoscopy and colonoscopy and presented findings in user friendly terms. I went to him because he had been my mother's doctor on call at the hospital and I was very impressed with his care for her. Will definitely recommend him.

He does not keep appointments
Have not been able to see him as he has rescheduled my appointment 3 times.. with no consideration of “working me in” since I have literally been rescheduled out months.

I would confidently highly reccomend Dr. Ezi-Ashi. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and is not a 'clock watcher'. He spends as much time as you need and thoroughly answers all questions. He is very caring and professional and interested in getting to the root of the issue. Excellent physician!

I don’t recommend this jerk! My dad has waited over a week for test results, he went down after they pushed his appointment back and waited a hour. The doctor never showed up for his appointment and my dad has to wait another four days to get his results with no apology or care from doctor or staff.

I have seen Dr. Ezi Ashi quite a few times, I don't feel as he truly cares nor does he want to find out what is causing all of my stomach pain and mucus bowel movements/incontinence. I have had years of trouble and don't feel as if Dr. Ezi Ashi really want's to help me get to the bottom of things for the simple fact that I'm not an older patient. He performed a colonoscopy and didn't find anything irregular which is fine however, I would've appreciated some suggestions on what to do next or him even trying to rule things out. I was sent home after the procedure and he didn't tell me to come back for a follow up or even recommend trying anything to control this. I feel as my visits were a waste of time and money.
