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.

Dr. Saini Cured Me
Dr. Saini was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so grateful I met him. I had been suffering from chills, fever, severe abdominal cramping and diarrhea for weeks. I had gone to ER but was released without treatment other than IV fluids. Upon my release, I called Dr. Saini’s office and was able to see Dr. Saini immediately. He met with me, took my medical history, and spent a long visit finding out my issues. He instructed me to provide a fecal sample to the lab immediately which then tested positive for “Toxin producing C Diff”- the short name of a very serious intestinal bacterial infection that can cause sepsis and death.Dr. Saini explained that C Diff is very difficult to eradicate but to have patience and faith in him. I placed my trust in him and followed regimen and meds he prescribed and eventually tested negative. I was very ill at times but Dr. Saini continually met with me and monitored my progress. Dr. Saini is a fantastic doctor.

Just letting all of you reading this, Dr Saini was terrible at caring for me. I’m in healthcare and received well under average care. It took him three months to diagnose my non functioning gallbladder and that was only after my persistent complaining. After relentlessly complaining of nausea with no help from him. Worst experience ever with a Dr. I would never recommend him to anyone. Beware.

For the start just want to say I usually dont write any positive or negative comments unless I'm 100% sure about it. Bcuz of my health condition since childhood I went to so many doctors and after 44 years I have to say Dr. Saini was the best experience. He was so caring ,professional, knowledgable and polite and He answerd all my concerns. I had 2 procedures with him and I must say im 100% happy with it. Also this was actually the first time that I see the office stuff were exactly as what you expected. I'm not sure if they are going to read this or not but thank you all again.

I have been Dr. Saini's patient for a number of years. He is an excellent doctor. He is patient and knowledgeable. I see him on a regular basis for digestive issues and never leave his office disappointed. I recommend him in a heartbeat. My sister and brother-in-law are also Dr. Saini's patients.

I have been dealing with severe digestive issues for the past 4 years and have seen to so many specialist and gone through so many specialists with hardly any results. Dr. Saini is the first Dr. who actually listened to me , had a real plan of action that was holistic , diet based and western Medicine based. He truly cares about his patients and offers great advise. I don't feel that I am just another "case" with him and that he sees there are a lot of gray areas with digestive disease and issues and not everything is black and white . I have improved not perfect yet and I know my issues are an ongoing chronic problem . It is great to know for once someone is on my side and i might have chance in a better quality of life.

I have been a patient of Dr. Saini's for almost twenty years. He saved my life in 2000 when I landed in the ER for vomiting blood. He did an EGD and banded varices in my esophagus. I was diagnosed with hepatitis C and cirrhosis of the liver. Under his care and treatment, through the years, I became stable. Eventually, overcoming the disease. Today I am cured! There is no other doctor I would recommend. His professionalism and compassion continue to touch my soul. He is a godsend.

Dr. Saini is a thoughtful, experienced, and patient doctor. I have struggled with IBS for a few years and have gone through 3 doctors before a friend referred Dr. Saini to me. He is the only doctor that took the time to listen to my symptoms completely and he was very focused on quality of life which is exactly what a doctor should do! I would highly recommend him to anyone facing gastrointestinal issues as he will work with you to solve your health issues!
