Dr..Rahal is an amazing kind thorough doctor who explained my condition in terms that I could understand. He talked with me reassuringly in the procedure room before performing my endoscopy & came to the recovery room to explain his findings. . This was a calming reassurance since my dear sister died from stomach cancer. I would recommend Dr. Rahal to all my friends & family.

Rude and dismissive. I waited until my 2nd visit before deciding to find another doctor. Every concern or question I posed was responded to with rudeness and as though I was bothering him. Found a different gastro who has a much better attitude toward his patients.

After reading some of these reviews I almost cancelled my appointment.....but I wasn’t able to and glad I didn’t. I found everyone at the surgery center to be very kind, helpful and, most importantly, thorough. Dr. Rahal and his team are top-notch! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
