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 am unable to locate Dr. Gandhi. Phone number doesn't work? I had surgery several years ago and in need of surgery again. Where can I locate him?

I work in the medical field and was very happy with Dr. Gandhi. He is professional and knows what he is doing. He took care of my issue in just a few visits. I am glad I went to him rather than the general surgeon i was referred to. All better with no surgery, Thank you!

Dr. Gandhi has great bedside manners, he is humbled, and extremely approachable. Dr. Gandhi is as kind as he is skillful. His quality and integrity as a surgeon is what he is known for, but more fundamentally as a person is what makes him different from other doctors. I ended up staying 6 nights at the hospital and Dr. Gandhi himself checked on me every day & that made me feel at peace.

Dr Ghandi performed life saving emergency surgery on me in April 2019. His manner is not only professional, but extremely personable. He is obviously very genuinely concerned about the well being of his patients; even if he's just come across them in the local ER, as he did me. His skill as a surgeon is remarkable, as evidenced by the comments of amazement from every doctor who has examined me since. His courage in taking on an extremely difficult case (I had been refused service by no less than 6 other surgeons; each of which had assured my husband & I that I would "die on the table" if they attempted surgery) and his confidence in his own abilities as a surgeon were extremely attractive to me. I came through the procedure with flying colors, due solely to the skills and courage of this very capable young man. I would trust him with my life again in a heartbeat, and would encourage anyone else to do the same! There are not enough adjectives available to declare his worthiness!

Dr. Gandhi is an outstanding surgeon. More importantly, he is kind and compassionate. My recent colon surgery was completed successfully with a brief hospital stay of 2-1/2 days. I appreciated his wisdom in following the new protocol of not using opioids for pain control which can have severe side effects. My recovery was swift and without complications. He is a master in his field, and I gladly offer a sincere recommendation to anyone in need of the services he provides.

I was very happy with the care I received with Dr. Gandhi. He is very gentle and caring. I read one review that said he was a gentleman and that does sum him up. He has a ready smile and shows that he cares about his patients. He always askes if you have questions and when he answers one he follows up for any more questions. He gave a complete explanation of what he would do, the steps involved and the possibilities that could occure.

Dr. Gandhi is a beautiful soul! Naturally I was scared when I learned I had rectal cancer and would have to endure 14 months of treatments and surgery to hopefully rid myself of disease. I am halfway through the process and the surgery, performed by Dr. Gandhi, went very well. He has been honest and straight forward with me and does not mix words... he tells you how it is. I had minimal side affects from the surgery and am doing very well. Dr. G is an man with a caring heart.

Dr. Gandhi is a highly trained and superb surgeon. From start to finish, through the entire process, Dr. Gandhi demonstrated why he is so respected within his profession and by his patients. The process was easy; appointments were on time; the atmosphere was one of cleanliness and competence. Highly recommend Dr. Gandhi. The dreaded exterior hemorrhoid surgery and recovery was far easier and much less uncomfortable than anticipated.

Dr. Gandhi removed my gallbladder and does exactly what he tells you. Explains everything, answers your questions and lets you know what to expect. I had no post-op problems and have recommended him to my friends. He was referred by my Gastroenterologist and I am thoroughly pleased with both.

What can I say? Dr Gandhi gave me my life back! I feel 20 yrs younger after hemorrhoid surgery! I've had 3 other (unrelated) surgeries in my life so I know from experience that some surgeons have that magic touch, some don't. What do I mean? Well, if your recovery is speedy and relatively painless, and the results are what you hoped for -or even exceeded your expectations- then you know your surgeon has the touch. Dr Gandhi definitely has the touch! And his staff great too! I highly recommend.

I was referred to Dr. Ghandi after a medical exam revealed an aggressively growing polyp. He is an excellent and caring doctor, calling me personally to schedule an appointment. At our meeting he explained my issue and the need for surgery. He then took time and care to answer all my questions fully. He later performed the surgery using the DaVinci robotic assistant with no complications. I was up and walking that afternoon, discharged from the hospital 2 days later and now fully recovered.
