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.

Highly recommended
Dr Iqbal is a wonderful doctor. She seems very focused and is a very good listener. She takes the time to answer your questions and thoroughly explain things. You never feel like she's in a rush to finish with you. She seems to care very much for the patient.

I chose Dr. Iqbal for my first colonoscopy. Dr. Iqbal came to talk with me before starting the procedure and asked me if I had any questions. She listened to me and explained how long it will take. Overall, I had great experience with the whole team as all people were very friendly, sympathetic, and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Iqbal as she is competent, caring and thorough doctor.

My experience with this office and Dr. were so bad that I'm frankly stunned that anyone had an above 1-star experience with her/them. My first problem was that she must have confused me with another patient because the notes on my record didn't sound even close to what I had told her. In fact, they were the exact opposite of what I had told her in several cases. My colonoscopy & endoscopy were without incident. After the procedures, I was diagnosed with a (surprise) ulcer and another rare condition. A nurse from their office called to tell me this, but also said she "couldn't talk about it anymore right now and I'd have to call back and schedule an appointment with a PA to get next-step instructions". I did call back and was told that I couldn't be seen by anyone at all for 3 weeks. I asked what I was supposed to do or how I was supposed to treat the ulcer and they said they "didn't know what to tell me about how to treat it, but would be happy to help in 3 weeks.....

Very impressed with her ability to listen to issues and discuss various options for care without jumping immediately to prescribing medication. She is caring and competent.

my husband and I have been patients for 15+ years, my RX ran out and they refused the. Refill, after I called they called back while I was at lunch with family said they would refill when I made an appointment. I asked for one month and I'd call and make the appointment when my family left. That was a week ago! I called today. They didn't refill even 1 month! Will not be back. I also only saw the dr during a colonoscopy. Only saw the nurse practitioner during regular appointments.

We set an appointment with Dr Iqbal. Unbeknownst to us we were scheduled with the nurse practitioner. Everything went well and then we received a call from NP. Letting us know that they referred us on to Anchutz. When we called Anshutz to set up the GED they said that we were referred over as a second opinion of which we didn’t ask for. We called back to the office to get them to change the orders. They were to call us back in 24 hrs but we were banned instead. Insurance bill beat us home. Sad

Both my husband and I have seen Dr. Iqbal--me for routine colonoscopies and my husband for colonoscopies and celiac diagnosis. We have found Dr. Iqbal to be very friendly and thorough in her explanations. When my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer, she went out of her way to make sure that he was introduced to the surgeon and scheduled for surgery as soon as possible. We have not hesitancy in recommending her highly.

The doctor was uninterested overall and uninformative. The post-procedure customer service was horrible. The nurse refused to give me any information over the phone, insisting instead I make an appointment. The entire staff were exceedingly rude when it came to a billing dispute because the doctor, without letting me know up front, submitted my procedure under a code my insurance declined to cover.

Dr. Iqbal provided me with effective and thoughtful care for a stomach/intestinal problem I had several years ago. She seemed more willing to listen than the two other gastroenterologists I went to around the same time.

Spent less than 5 minutes discussing treatments and options. Offered no suggestions and was very dismissive. Extremely disappointing bedside manner and very cold.
