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.

Best GI in town!
I absolutely love dr. Nagaria! He is so kind, funny, thorough, and personable. I am so glad to have found him. It can be a little embarrassing to have to go to a gastro doctor but he made me very comfortable, eased all my concerns. Thanks doc! Sincerely, one happy patient

TRYING to get in to see him
long story short - made appt, showed up early for appt, while waiting 2 other people walk in & say they're there for same dr for same appt time. I'm sorry, he's good but even he can't see 3 different patients at the same time. Scheduling seems to be a real issue at this office... I have a full time & part time job. When I schedule an appt & make sure to show up for it on time or early, i don't expect to wait more than 15 minutes. My time is just as important as his.... I totally understand running behind schedule at times... but you're already running behind if they're scheduling 3 patients for the same doctor for the same time slot.

Caring and Personable Doctor
I have already seen Dr. Nagaria on a handful of occasions, to which he explained all of my test results in a caring and compassionate manner. Not only that, but he set up a great treatment plan and personally returns my calls when I have called the office with a worry. Not many doctors will personally call you anymore. He is a rare gem, highly recommend. His staff is also very friendly, responsive , and helpful.

Dr Nagaria is an outstanding physician. I have been his patient for several years and have always been very pleased with the level of care. Dr. Nagaria listens to what I say, understands my concerns and how I feel, always takes the time to ask if I have any more questions. Dr. Nagaria sincerely cares. His nurse practitioners are also excellent, listen to my concerns and are very caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Nagaria and his staff.

my husband and I both love Dr. Nagaria. He is kind and listens to you. he is not alarming! He explains in laymans terms what your condition is. We moved to Florida and we miss him alot. I only hope that I can find a caring competent Dr. like him. He also has a wonderful gal, Isabel, who has been working with him for years. She is also very competent and an asset to his office. I hope she never leaves him. J and C Cruise

After our initial meeting an endoscopy and colonoscopy was completed. The issue is reporting the results. After several attempts to contact him, he called to tell me I had a very severe case of celiac and I had it all my life. He never suggested a follow up appointment or sent me a report. I asked my GP about the condition . After reading the report he said, “you do not have celiac, nothing in the results indicate this.” Poor practice in patient follow up treatment.

Dr. Nagaria was very pleasant to deal with. He took the time to explain test results making sure to answer all my questions and concerns. Day of Colonoscopy, he went through the procedure and again was there after the test to go over results. The office staff was like none I've encountered before. Everyone was pleasant with a friendly greeting and were very helpful, even their interaction with other patients and with phone calls. I would highly recommend Dr. Nagaria as a gastroenterologist.
