9 months agoDr. Kalaghchi is one of the best doctors that I have ever seen. He is so knowledgeable and reliable. He listened to my medical history patiently and was not in rush at all when reviewing my procedure findings and test results. His nurse, Nafiseh, was very nice and responsible. She transferred my concerns/ questions to Dr. Kalaghchi, and provided quick feedback. I am really satisfied with Dr. Kalaghchi and his team and recommend him to any patient. I'm pretty sure that after visiting Dr Kalaghchi you will do the same as me and encourage the other people to visit him.

12 months agoThis was to be a telehealth visit but actually turned out to be phone call to me . Dr. Kalaghchi was very kind and considerate. A good listener. I feel much better going into my procedure, which is to be scheduled soon.

3 years agoMy husband visited Dr. Kalaghchi in September of 2020. He quickly wanted to do an endoscopy and then basically just did not care about treating him. We contacted his nurse and his office multiple times. We made followup appointments about my husbandโs symptoms and every time it was no help at all. I get the general feeling that he is the type of doctor that can only treat obvious things that show up in an endoscopy or that he just has found a way to make money through endoscopies and orders them for every patient without care or consideration of how to treat them. Itโs unfortunate when doctors are driven by money and lose their ethical obligations. I am not trying to judge here but Dr. Kalaghchi this is no way to treat people.

2 years agoDr. Kalagchi explained my situation in a very simple and effective manner and assured me what I was experiencing was minor and treatable . Leaving the office I felt very confident and was very happy in my decision to come to Gastro Health.
