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.

They dont have a low enough score for her !!!!!!!
They called and cancelled four days before my appointment and refused to see me after i waited months for my appointment. Reason.... because I had seen another doctor a full year before whom I was unhappy with, as I my new Cat Scan per my Primary Doctor had ordered was worst and she recommended this doctor.

Worse doctor ever! Terrible bedside manner and does not listen to you. I have been going on almost a year of stomach issues. He told me “it’s not a stomach problem.... it’s a ENT problem” “Stomach doctors don’t work with ENT doctors” Those where his very words! I went to ENT and was diagnosed with LPR and it has now affecting my stomach below. I was told it originates in the stomach. I went back to him for the stomach problem and he refuse to even consider the reflux.... put me on a stomach relaxer and it has come back with a vengeance. He is arrogant and has left me scrambling to find someone else to help. 0 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Lodhavia for 3 years. I am in the health profession myself and find his professionalism beyond reproach. Rather than prescribing unnecessary exams and procedures, he treats based on his medical knowledge and experience. Prior to Dr. L., I was using someone just down the street who I couldn’t understand, kept me waiting forever in the waiting room, ran a conveyer belt type practice and was violating HIPPA laws. Glad to have found someone better.

Dr. Lodhavia has been my Gastroenologist for years and I would of loved to continue with his services; however he started out good and ended up as though my health is not important to him. I could of been treated for one condition I have but he would not file the papers to get approval from my insurance company. As though he pays my insurance. I will not recommend him to anyone. If you start out good you need to end up the same way. Never give up on the employer ( your patients health).

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. I do not get a feeling from this doctor that he cares about me as a patient. My wait to see him is always longer than the visit itself. The prescription for a medication that I am required to take was not filled after several requests from my pharmacy.Previous Gastro doctors I have had in the past at least checked my vitals, BP, weight , ankles and such through office exams. Not this doctor.

There is a medication that could clear my Hep C. This dr. did not even attempt to call my insurance to request that I be put on it. I've had this disease for over 30 years and it has effected my ability to work and do things I want to do. Do NOT see this doctor if you want compassionate, understanding medical care.
