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.

Very nice , informative, and caring. And beatiful too!

Dr Tina Pakala
I first saw Dr. Pakala when I was in the hospital with pancreatitis. We had used Digestive Health before and my husband requested one of their doctors to be my primary care there instead of the hospitalist. She was incredibly attentive to my condition and always informed my husband after her visits - she was able to answer all his questions and that speaks volumes since he had many questions. She visited me every single day, weekday or weekend. She explained my condition in ways I could understand and let me know why things were being done. She was a comfort to see each day. I have followed up with her and she is equally as concerned with my well-being in those visits. I feel like she listens to my concerns and addresses those fairly. From my experience I would highly recommend her.

I would certainly recommend Dr. Pakala and DHS to family/friends. My Colonoscopy performed without a hitch - made an awkward "necessary" event less embarrassing. Staff professional and courteous.
