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.

I really liked the Dr. I thought he was very efficient. [...].

The doctor spent a good deal of time with me, listened to my concerns, and addressed them. He explained the issues and treatment well - one of the few doctors I've encountered in awhile who provided thoughtful care.

Dr. Theethira is the best gastroenterologist that I have had over the past 12 years, since I developed a gastrointestinal problem. He is very professional and very intelligent, but at the same time never arrogant, always willing to listen and explain. He is very, very thorough, both during procedures and afterward when writing reports and also checking to make sure any drug he prescribes doesn't have an contraindications with medications I am already on.

Dr. Theethira was very good. This was my first appointment with him and I was very impressed that he discussed both of my GI issues and gave me additional information to take home with me. He spent more time with me than I expected and later took the time to look up my records and send me an e-mail through MyPortal regarding an issue we had discussed.
