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.

Colonoscopy Procdure
My visit for a colonoscopy at CJASC went extremely well. The facility was very clean. Dr. Barghash had excellent bedside manners and she explained how the procedure went to me in the recovery room. The entire staff was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend.

I saw dr. Claudia Berghash a year ago. I wanted to write a review back then but I changed my mind. But lately they have been nagging me with phone calls. This behavior is propostures. I had one video call with her. Before the visit I sent all my test results to them. During the visit dr. Bargash told me I need a colonoscopy because I had not had one. I told her that the results of my colonoscopy were with other tests I sent her. She told me she didn’t have it and I made a mistake, so I told her it did not make sense that she received the other results but not my colonoscopy since it was all together and I had the email to prove it. She continued not to listen to me and had the nerve to ask for another colonoscopy done by her, even though my last results were only 4 months old and it is not recommended to have a colonoscopy done more than every 1-2 years with my condition. Especially at that moment I felt pretty good. When I told her that I heard that doing colonoscopy so often is not g

She doesn't give consistent medical advice and contradicts what she instructed from the previous appointment. She doesn't listen to the patient's concerns and continues to repeat what she wants to say. None of my actual complaints of the condition I originally came to her appeared in my medical records, which explains why she can't remember how she answered your questions to your concerns. Sadly, I can't trust her, so I have sought out another doctor. I don't recommend her.

Dr. Bargash took no time to review my medical history nor asked related questions and yet recommended a major life changing surgery that was very irresponsible and outside her domain as a Gastroenterologist. The fact that she did not ask any pertinent questions nor reviewed my chart properly is disturbing. She was brash, neither compassionate nor competent. I ended up seeing another doctor in their practice for this reason and for convenience.
