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 Kakati is a very caring and very concerned Dr
I would totally recommend Dr kakati for he takes his time to listen to you about your concerns and he explains everything to you for you to totally understand what is going on and what he’s going to do about it to help you, he’s very polite and he cares very much about his patients.. My husband said he never seen a doctor who cares as much as he does about his patients because he takes his time not a in and out doctor like most. So if your looking for a Gastro doctor then differently see Dr Kakati you’ll be glad you did ..

Dr. Kakati is an excellent doctor with compassion for his patients. He has been my son’s GI doctor managing his Crohn’s Disease for the last 6 years. I am most impressed with the time and care Dr. Kakati has taken with us over the last several years. He truly cares about his patients and that reflects in the relationship we have established with him. I highly recommend him to everyone looking for a GI dr.

Great Doctor
Dr. Kakati, was very caring and listened intently as I described my symptoms. He made time to see me at the end of the day as a work-in and scheduled my upper endoscopy within a few days. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kakati.

Great Doc
Smart, compassionate, present, thorough, patient. Dr Kakati is a partner in my healthcare. He teaches me the etiology and management of my GI issues and together we evaluate the results. I looked long and hard for a new GI doc when mine retired. I hit the jackpot.

Dr. Kakati was pleasant but didn’t have answers for anything. He suggested I see someone else without checking to see if it was a GI issue. He even went so far as to act as if he remembered me but didn’t. He even told me take medication I was never prescribed. I’m still dealing with the same issues.

Dr. Bobby Kakati sees my husband and three of my adult children including my special needs son, Caleb . We could not ask for a better doctor. Dr. Bobby makes sure we understand everything. This is extremely important since my family is not only a high risk for colon cancer, but has esophagus problems too. He is a busy man but takes awesome care of his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Kakati.

Dr. Kakati is an excellent physician. He goes above and beyond in the care of his patients. Dr. Kakati is one of the only physicians who will call you to discuss your results instead of having a nurse contact you. He leaves no stone unturned in determining a diagnosis. I highly recommend Dr. Kakati.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kakati?
Absolutely terrible. I complained and complained of problems and could get no help. After an endoscopy and colonoscopy they would not help me anymore. They would not see me in person. They would not listen to anything or treat anything I was complaining about. I went and saw someone else and they figured out some of my problems on the first visit. Absolutely some of the worst care I have had. They left me in soiled linens after my procedure and forced me to get up as soon as I opened my eyes even when I couldn’t stand up on my own. The nurses were terribly rude and no one cared how much weight I had lost or how bad I had felt for months. Horrible care, horrible treatment. I would never tell anyone to go here.
