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.

Terrible.
Office can NEVER answer their phone during business hours. They ignore multiple requests from pharmacies. Not to mention how long it takes to even get in with this provider, the be treated like dirt.

I’ve been going to this doctor since 2013 complaining about severe abdominal pains.... I have had two endoscopies and two colonoscopies and the told me I had ulterior Colitis . After several hospitals visits for the pain I requested a referral from my main doctor I begged them to give me a different gastroenterologist I was then sent to the gastro group where I was tested and was told I tested positive for HPylori and the new doctor pulled up my records and it showed on there that in 2018 during an endoscopy it showed I tested positive for HPylori during that procedure. He not only misdiagnosed me but was negligent about it. And treated me for the wrong issue.

Awful experience. The dr diagnosed my 19 yr old son with ulcerative colitis, but 5 months later said that he was doing well and didn’t need to be on any meds anymore - and 4 months later he ended up in the hospital with every inch of his colon inflamed and bleeding. Only then, from the hospital g.i. doctors and every other subsequent doctor he’s had since, we found out that it is critical for severe Crohns Disease and U.C. patients to be on some kind of maintenance med to stay in remission- a fact Dr. Menon never mentioned. He should’ve never taken him off all meds like that, and in doing so my son almost lost his colon.

He is a very good DR. however, It did take a while to be able to see him because he had a family emergency so they had to change my appt at least 5 times from the time I first made it. I don't count that against him though. He is a very caring Doctor and he listens to what I say when I ask him something about my health. I considered going to another office but the people in this office are so friendly and caring, I really doubt I would find that anywhere else.
