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.

Outstanding GI doctor!
Dr. Nilesh is an exceptional gastroenterologist who provided a truly transformative experience for me as a patient. After a disappointing encounter with a previous GI doctor who was dismissive and condescending, I sought a second opinion from Dr. Nilesh, and I couldn't be more grateful. The moment he walked into the room, his warmth and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. Dr. Nilesh's thoroughness and intelligence were evident throughout our consultation, as he left no stone unturned in understanding my condition. What truly set him apart was his ability to truly listen and empathize with my concerns, never disregarding my emotions or symptoms. I felt genuinely heard and validated, and it instilled a sense of confidence in my treatment journey. Dr. Nilesh's compassionate approach and patient-centered care are a testament to his exceptional qualities as a physician. I am incredibly fortunate to have found him, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a gastroenterologist!

Dr is great , but I really can’t continue to wait 2-3 hours to be seen . It’s always a 2 hour wait and I always come back telling myself it’s an isolated event but it’s too really to time consuming

I cannot say enough good things about this doctor and the office. Every one is so nice, they make you feel so comfortable. I was a little hesitant because I had another doctor and was switching but if you are reading this review and have doubts, doubt no more... This is the place to go. I would never visit any other gastroenterologist other than Mr. Mehta. He takes the time to go over your concerns and genuinely cares about his patients. The entire staff is very attentive. Fantastic experience.
