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.

Excellent doctor
I have been treated by Dr Girgrah for well over 10 yrs for liver disease. I am 72 yrs old and have been treated for many medical conditions. Of all of the doctors that I have been treated by, Dr Girgrah is by far the best doctor that I have ever had. I can honestly say that I owe my life to him. He is very professional, intelligent, caring , the best in his field and all around great doctor. I would HIGHLY reccomend him. There is not a better liver doctor anywhere near Louisiana.

Fabulous Doctor!
I have been traveling to see Dr. Girgrah for several years. My health has improved greatly under his care. He is an excellent doctor and is both thorough and compassionate. It is well worth the trip to see him!

He followed my son for Wilson's disease and left him copper deficient for an extended period of time despite my concerns. Danny now has a colostomy and a tricuspid valve leak. He fought for his life for a month and a half in the hospital. For the follow up appointment I asked him if he had spoken with the Wilson's disease specialist. His excuse was that he had called him but the specialist had not returned his call. He is head of the gastroenterology department and lacks compassion.
