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. Jathal is a kind and caring dr. He listens to his patients and doesn't rush us out like we're just a number.

Great experience
I’m a new patient of Dr. Jathal. His office staff are all highly professional and friendly. Dr. Jathal, himself, is very good at explaining in terms that are easy to comprehend. He not only listens, but he hears your concerns and addresses them accordingly. He’s kind, and also easy going, and puts his patients at ease.

Dr. Nathalie was great.
He was personable, patient, and candid about my particular case. He provided a clear explanation resulting in my not requiring treatment at the present time which is always good to hear! I am pleased to give Dr. Jathal my recommendation.

Non-positive experience
I had two appointments with the physician and had an hour’s wait (after appointment time) both instances. The second visit was to provide me the results of a test done at the local hospital. The doctor spent less than 5 minutes with me and he could have provided me the results remotely. Since test results were negative for cancer but didn’t show any other results to indicate cause of my GI problems, physician stated that I would need to be referred to Orlando for those tests. I will then make an appointment in Orlando with a known GI specialist. What a disappointing waste of time.

Reassured immediately!
In addition to being seen immediately by an incredibly knowledgeable 4th year med student with a great bedside manner, Dr. Jathal gave me a Ted Talk on my condition, the current research findings, and steps forward in terms that I understood. He didn't talk above my comprehension as a lay person. He was very didactive and patient with Michelle (who will make a GREAT doctor one day).I am so thankful for the referral to Dr. Jathal!
