Steer clear of this doctor. Did not even check my stomach. Gave me a diagnosis while looking at the screen. He barely looked at me.I could barely get two questions in. Was out in less than 5 minutes. I even cancelled my endoscopy with him because I found out he was performing it. I am seeing another doctor. First time I have been to a gastroenterologist who doesn't even perform a basic abdomen press check.

I have mixed feelings about this doctor and staff. Most of the staff is professional, but sometimes they're so busy, they become a bit testy, rude, and let you walk out by yourself after a procedure. It's a colonoscopy mill.

He is one of the best GI doctorâ??s I have ever gone to! He was very concerned with the patientâ??s health and very easy to talk to. His staff is very friendly and concerned as well; they are thorough and are on top of their game. I feel cared for medically and cared about as a person , and I can't recommend him enough.

Dr . Durzieh is not only a great doctor , he is a great human being. This is a very rare and special combination. From the moment I switched over to him I felt hopeful for the first time in a while. I have been to many doctors and but to have a doctor special and devoted as Dr.durzieh is priceless .

Dr Durzieh was one of the most thorough doctors I have ever met, he took his time and ask me a lot of questions about my condition, after having my procedure done by him he put me on the diet and medication, which help me to feel back to normal .I highly recommend this doctor. the only downside was the waiting time, however it was worth it.

I waited over an hour to see him. As soon as he walks in the door, he acts rushed, speaks in a rude manner, and does not listen to my concerns. He is only concerned about getting you out of there quickly. I asked him questions and he made a smirk as in I don't know what I am talking about and just brushed it off. I felt offended. I waited so long to see him. He could have apologized for the long wait. He paid more attention to his young, female assistant than me. Trust me when I say that you should NOT waste your time there.

Dr. Durzieh seem competent enough and has a nice office. Wait times are always too long though, even for the first appointment of the day. His bedside manner was pretty poor, he didn't seem to care too much about the discomfort I was experiencing and always seemed in a rush to be done with the visit. Thankfully, he did finally refer me to another doctor who was able to able help me.
