Dr. Vijayalakshmi Pratha, MD

She asked me 4 times about my childhood and relationship of my parents. I told her I had a happy upbringing. She insisted that my SIBO is due to childhood trauma.Her team took 2 weeks to send in the prescription to the pharmacy. They're slow to taking action.I called and asked 3 times about gastritis protocol vendors for a specific test and they did not get back to me. I think going on reddit and talking to other SIBO patients is better than seeing any GI doctor especially someone that will tell most of her patients their GI issues are due to childhood trauma.

A very disappointing experience. I should have listened to the reviews I had read prior. Long wait times and inconclusive results. See someone else

Pros: listens, provides excellent customer service, both staff & dr. Doesn't prescribe harsh meds. Practices integrative medicine. Cons: some of her practices are quackish. Preaches a modality that your sickness is solely psychosomatic to the point that she's neglectful. If you have gi illness beyond Crohn's or IBD, I'd say seek a different gastro.

She is the most wonderful lady who spent more than an hour and listened to my problem instead of shoving medication. She is not controlled by pharmaceutical co.pany she cares no

She is a great doctor and her medical expertise and her diagnosis is excellent. She is very considerate and listens and explains patient the conditions and how she is treating. She takes adequate time with the patients. I recommend her to family and friends.

After months of different doctors misdiagnosis of my daughter's digestive problems. Dr. Paths quickly diagnosed and cured her.

Cancelled my appointments several times. Did not clearly tell me that my colonoscopy was not at a Scripps facility. Sent the biopsies to a laboratory that is not in my insurance network and I have ended with a $1000.00 bill
