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.

Just a number, not a valued patient.
The ONLY reason I ended up using this practice is because I was assigned to Dr. Vachhani during a stay at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital for pancreatitis. I saw Dr. Vachhani just once during my week-long stay, but I saw his NP every day. In looking over my hospital records, post-release, I found that he was “supervising” her, even though he didn’t visit me, and that they were “discussing my case”, even though he wasn’t seeing me. Once I was released from the hospital, I was told to make a follow-up appointment with Dr. Vachhani’s practice, Texas Digestive Disease Consultants. I made an appointment at the Sugar Land location, as it is closer to my home. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at their tiny office, squeezed into their tiny waiting room, and was called for an appointment with the NP (not Dr. Vachhani). Given that I was 1.5 weeks post-hospital stay, I fully expected (and made) an appointment with Dr. Vachhani. You can see my full review on Google.

Man with a plan
Dr. Vachhani takes time to listen to my symptoms and asks appropriate questions that lead to a plan of improvement. He even responded to my phone call when I had a question about the medication he suggested.

Dr. Vachhani didn’t rush the visit even though I was over 1/2 hour late for the appointment. He explained things clearly and gave me confidence that he is the doctor that I will continue to use in the future.

Extraordinary Experience
I have been a patient of Dr. Vachhani for some time now. I could not ask for more from Dr. Vachhani and his staff. Professional, courteous, caring, and they want to meet your medical needs. What I like the most is the doctor takes his time in explaining your needs, options, and definitely encourages to ask questions, so that he may give you answers as needed. He points out that it is part of his job to have that open communication. I highly recommend Dr. Vachhani to anyone and everyone. Thank You, God bless

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Vachhani was excellent. He was easy to talk to; he listened and looked at me when addressing me or listening to what I had to say. He was very knowledgeable. He took the time to review a copy of my medical records that I had brought with me. He was informative and gave me the sense that he really cared about providing me with excellent medical care and advice. I have had contact with other doctors in the Methodist system and he is by the best I have encountered. I wish I could clone him and make him my primary care physician.
