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.

He was very disrespectful. He is trying to make his own rules for dispensing medication. How did another Dr give me medication with no issues, Dharel had not gave me one good reason why he wasn’t going to treat me.

Dr. Dharel was so wonderful helping me with my UC. He got me in for an appointment and procedure with ease and made the process of being put on a biologic easy! I have never felt better. He picked the best treatment for me on the first try and really understood my concerns and issues.

Have been dealing with stomach issues for years. Dr. Dharel has taken the the time and gone far a beyond what most doctors would. He listens and will go out of his way to figure out what is going on.

This doctor was utterly pointless. He didn't listen to symptoms, didn't run many tests, and misdiagnosed me. He ended up telling me that i 'just had ibs' and 'needed to learn to live with it'. Yeah. I left his practice, saw a doctor who listened and actually cared about patients, and was appropriately diagnosed with Celiac disease (and a rotten gallbladder, thanks to the extended duration and damage from the untreated Celiac). Don't bother wasting time or money with this waste of space.

I had been shuffled back and forth between specialists and the ER,when I was finally referred to Dr. Dharel. He was the first doctor to offer to help with the pain instead of just prescribing narcotics. It turns out I have several complicated issues that are very commonly overlooked until they become almost life-threatening. Yet Dr. Dharel wasted no time in ordering the necessary tests. I'm very grateful that he listened, rather than just passing my concerns off.

I had the same experience as the other comment shown. I needed endoscopy and colonoscopy and was not to worry about insurance as the staff will take care of it all. well I phoned to find out about cost but the biller Jennifer told me it was my responsibility to get the cost from insurance and gave me a bunch of codes. I went to another office who gave me a cost and was much nicer. The office manager would not even refund the prep kit.

Dr. Dharel was more interested in promoting other procedures (non-surgical hemorrhoid) than getting to know why I was in the office - routine colonoscopy.Front desk personnel were very energetic/friendly. Practice streamline the check-in procedure with tablet, but still use 4 page paper questionnaire for history. Nurse repeats questions/types answers in computer. Scheduling staff should have been fired - no knowledge of cost, promote practice prep materials only, nasty in general.
