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.

very unhappy with him. I told him I wasn't ready for a colonoscopy, but he went ahead with the procedure anyway and told me I needed to repeat the procedure. I think he should have known because I told him, thinking there'd be something he could do. I also had a hard time shaking the anesthetic when it was over.

Dr. Bajaj is an excellent gastroenterologist. He has performed colonoscopies on me, and today he removed a gallstone from my wife. He's great and we trust him. Highly recomended.

I had a very rare surgical procedure that truly saved me. I was admitted through emergency at Highland Park Hospital My regular Gastro Dr. didn’t do this procedure. Dr. Bajaj was called in, and i am very grateful to Him. It was serious surgery- he answered all my questions, and did a perfect procedure. I would recommend him to anyone with complicated Gastro issues or histories.

1.Ordered a test which was not justified for the symptoms faced. I am waiting for an explanation from his office since 2 months now as of Jan 2017. 2.Did not provide all information proactively. Ex. Didn't inform me that I wont be able to drive home after procedure because of anesthesia. So I should take a cab that day. When I pointed it out, he smirked as if it was a test of my presence of mind. 3.Before procedure, he was unavailable and came in only for a quick visit for getting signatures.

Had a Colonoscopy Screening with Dr. Bajaj. Very Efficient Doctor and demonstrated good bedside manners. The entire process was made easy with Prep and Scheduling. The location was convenient and the appointment time was available when I needed as I scheduled well in advance.It was end of the year with a day of nasty weather. Even then the wait time was not too bad. Would recommend him to my family and friends.
