Highly Recommended !!!!
Dr. Nigar has been my gastroenterologist for the past 6 years. I find her bedside manner, her attention to be excellent. If I have questions that I leave on the patient portal she answers them. I am very pleased with her.

Dr. Nigar was recommended by a friend after I expressed extreme dissatisfaction with my primary doctor. I found Dr. Nigar to be knowledgeable, communicative, and personable. She answered all my questions and gave very worthwhile suggestions. Would give her the highest rating and more.

No Follow up Care, very difficult to reach
I trusted Doctor Nigar based on previous reviews from WestMed to preform my upper endoscopy. She was very kind at bedside during office visit however, once my endoscopy was over it became incredibly difficult to understand my diagnosis. I would call her office to try and understand if she could explain what my treatment plan was and what happened was her physician assistant would leave messages on my portal such as this "take nexium twice daily" without any additional information about what was going. I ended up switching medication three times to find the right one through my general physician. I tried calling again for follow up once I started medication to see how long it would have to be when I called I found out she had no idea when I started taking or how long I had already been taking it which was extremely concerning. This is truly a poor example of patient care and treatment follow up so disappointed in the level of care my general physician suggested leaving her which I did.

Best Gastroenterologist
Dr Nigar is very thorough in her approach, she is caring , goes the extra mile to make sure I got the best treatment, sometimes even when it’s not part of her field she made sure I was taken care of . She reviewed my whole history and found things that other doctors had missed.

She was the only gastro doctor who looked at my history of fatty liver, obesity and type 11 diabetes. She immediately sent me to a liver transplant specialist who found out that I had level 4 of 8 non alcoholic liver cirrhosis. I went for bariatric surgery and lost my excess weight to try to prevent cancer or the necessity of a liver transplant. I trust her with my life. She is brilliant and caring.
