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.

Awake during colonscopy
I had a colonoscopy from this doctor in 2021. He used inadequate sedation and assumed that his altered protocol with reduced fentanyl and diphenhydramine is adequate. I am tolerant to both drugs. I remember him using the little claw to gather samples and speaking to his assistant. I also remember massive bleeding visible on screen. I felt incredible panic being this aware despite it being my third colonoscopy. I suffered from extreme chest pains at the end of the procedure as I experienced panic from being immobilized from the sedation and tortured on the table. I still suffer from panic attacks when I recall the procedure. This man should lose his license.

Horrible colonoscopy experience!
Dr. Ditah performed a colonoscopy on me which was extremely painful. My sedation did not work. I was completely aware of everything. I was crying out and the nurses had to hold me down. Afterward he was cold and unfeeling and seemed put out that the exam was difficult because I have a tortuous colon.

Horrible Experience
Horrible experience. Was awake throughout my colonoscopy. Excruciatingly painful. No one seemed to care that I was awake. I filed a complaint with Healthpartners and have heard nothing back from them. Wish I had read the reviews before going in for the procedure.

Horrible painful experience. Wouldn't recommend.
He didn't listen when I told him I was in terrible pain and clearly awake during colonoscopy. I heard every word , felt excruciating pain, asked him to stop, asked for more pain meds, no communication, he even told the nurse to 'calm me down'. I was writhing in pain for 40 staight minutes. I literally thought I was going to die. Most horrific traumatic experience I've ever had. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Dr. Ditah is a nice person, did a sigmoid on me. Wish questions would be answered regarding gastro issues I have. Trying to get appt is close to impossible. HealthPartners prides themselves on taking care of patients and they do, but trying to see my gastro guy gets a 0 from me.
