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. Ghanekar is an excellent listener and doctor.
Very pleasant & very satisfied with my visit. Dr. Ghanekar he is an awesome doctor.

Colonoscopy
Dr. Ghanekar explained need for colonoscopy in an easy to understand manner. He's a great listener and did not hurry the consultation. Before the colonoscopy, he explained the procedure. It may have been an oversight on the staff's or his part, but I would have liked having my wife in the post-op room when he reviewed the results.

Very nice
I love Dr. Ghanekar. He always listens and has great advice. Talks to his patients after procedures. Definitely more rushed than he was 10 years ago, but that’s not fault (insurance pays so little per patient that they all have to see more of them).

The doctors are fabulous! They have both taken care of me, while I was hospitalized. I made a follow-up appointment, after being discharged from Trinity hospital, 09/21/21. The SOONEST they could get me in was 12/14/21, at 10:30am, okay I took it! In the meantime I was hospitalized twice,regarding my colon. On 11/14/21, a section of my colon was removed, and I have a colostomy bag. I was to schedule two appointments, one with the surgeon, no problem. They completely understood my need for an afternoon app't, my body empties out all morning, which has become the "NORM" for me. Then I tried to change my app't time, with Dr Ghanekar, to an afternoon app't. "Shelly" the appointment maker, returned my call, THREE times she told in order to change my app't, she would have to rearrange three patients appointments. Well, that was enough for me, I certianly don't want to be an inconvenience, for three other patients, and let's not forget ALL the work, Shelly would have to do. So I canceled.
