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.

Knowledgeable doctor.

I liked Dr. Jafari’s sunny personality. He was kind and listened carefully. Asked questions and offered a few solutions and different approaches. When something didn’t work for me or was no longer needed, he offer other options and encouraged me.

Follow-up
Dr. Jafri is wonderful. My last visit he had an emergency he had to help out with a procedure. I saw his assistant which was very kind and thorough. The thing I loved is Dr. Jafri even called the next day to apologize for not being able to she me but his assistant took care of me. Wonderful doctor and very good bedside manners.

Go to another practice for care.
Contacting Dr Jafri through patient portal or leaving messages on phone line rarely results in them contacting you back. I have been without medicine refills or insurance authorizations being sent in unless I make a trip to the office. They will try to convince you that you didn’t call or use the portal. I walked out of my appt today when Dr Jafri’s asst and then later Dr Jafri tried to convince me that I hadn’t tried to contact them. When I got upset, said I was leaving because I felt they were gaslighting me, he tried to get me to stay. When I tried to walk out the second time, he put his hand around my arm and tried to direct me back to a chair. I sternly told him I was leaving and he let go. I told him, I would rather go without medication than deal with this office. He was recommended by my UTMB primary care person but after today, I will go to a gastroenterologist in the UTMB system. Up until today, I thought he was knowledgeable doctor and that his office staff wasn’t efficient.

Dr Syed Jafri
Dr Jafri will always be my choice when is comes to a gastroenterologist . For over 10 years he has been my physician. He will continue to be my choice as long as he is in practice. Let me say this, in todays medical treatment, few docs take the time to listen, well…….... he does.

Dr. Jafri is very good and through physician and I do not hesitate to recommend Dr Fafri to friends and family. I only wish it would be easier to get connected to the staff. Because regardless of when one leaves a message no calls would be received until the next day. I don’t what it is so difficult for someone to answer the phone?

His appointment was rushed & spent no more than 2-3 minutes in the room. What Dr orders a test without examining the patient? He seemed more concerned about teaching his PA than the health of his patient. Horrible Dr! Do not recommend!
