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.

Dr Navaneethan is a very knowledgeable Dr. He cares, listens and his staff is very helpful an d professional. I would not want to go yo any other Dr or office. They are a top team. 13 years with him.

Uncaring
Compared to the other reviews online for this doctor, I almost feel like I saw a different person. He was short, didn’t listen, and didn’t take my personal feelings about my treatment into account. I felt like just a number to him on a production line of IBD patients.

I was referred to Dr. Navaneethan by a doctor at Univ of Tennessee because they could not fix my issue with my colon. My ulcerative colitis was very complicated. He brought me for a clinic visit followed by 2 procedures and was able to fix my problem. I appreciate all your expertise and we were lucky to find you. I do not mind flying in to see him every 6 months for follow-up. He is worth it.

I had early cancer in my colon from my colitis and my doctors had recommended surgery. I self-referred myself to see Dr. Navaneethan and he did a special procedure with a color dye and was able to remove the early cancer. I heard that he is the only one of 2 doctors in the entire state of Florida who can do this special procedure. Thank you so much Dr. Navaneethan.

I had seen a number of gastroenterologists for my Ulcerative colitis and was sent to Dr. Navaneethan for a fourth opinion. He is really a magician with medications and has numerous tricks up his sleeve. He combined 2 different medications and was able to avoid surgery for me. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Navaneethan for saving my life.

I have Crohn’s disease and I was referred to Dr Navaneethan for severe narrowing in my intestines from Univ of Miami. He was very personable and professional and the procedure he did avoided surgery for me. Really grateful to have found such an amazing doctor.

My husband had a procedure with him. After the procedure he came to the bedside to tell us what he found. He told us that he saw numerous gallstones and that the gallbladder should be removed. When we went to see the surgeon, he stated that the fact that he saw stones was not on the report. Now, if he saw stones, I would think it would be in his report.

I question the validity of his results after I saw his documentation in my chart. He frequently ordered expensive tests/drugs over normal testing and medications...he would not listen when he was told the treatment wasn’t working. He even went as far as saying I refused to be scoped so He can order more expensive testing. By the way, I did not refuse; he said he did not recommend a scope but wanted to do this blood work instead.

DO NOT GO HERE! Most disorganized office I have ever seen. My 1st appt was to transfer care from my old GI doctor. After assuring me everything in order, I left to later find out he never booked a follow up appt, did not transfer prescriptions into his name, failed to get my old records, and gave me no orders for lab work. On my second appointment, he gave me 2 written prescription. I took them to the pharmacy which could not be filled because both had errors.
