Dr. Anjali Basil, MD

I started having severe GI symptoms four years ago (think IBS in overdrive). At first, Dr. Basil seemed compassionate and concerned. She ordered labs and performed a colonoscopy. When the tests came back inconclusive, she basically wrote me off. Over a two year period, I lost 30 pounds, when I really only had ten to lose. At my last appt. with her, she suggested that because I have anxiety, that it might be the cause of my weight loss. It was definitely not the cause, as I had my anxiety well under control and had for a long time. With that being said, the growing severity of my symptoms would make the calmest person anxious. At that point, I knew she was done looking for the cause of my symptoms, which had grown increasingly worse (she was not interested in hearing about that). From my own research, I learned that not enough biopsy samples were taken during my colonoscopy to rule out Celiac. I follow a gluten free diet, and it helps, but I don't want to live that way if it's… not the true cause. I still have flares, but being at home during the pandemic has allowed me to put back some of the weight. My primary care now manages my symptoms, prescribes meds that help day to day and is sympathetic and understanding. I just got the name of another GI who is supposed to be amazing, but he is retiring soon, and may not take on a new patient.

I would never use Dr. Basil again. Never calls the patient back, I honestly can’t comprehend how she can let a patient suffer for days and not call in a prescription. It four days of calling her office to finally get a return phone call. My week turned into a nightmare. Of course, I will be looking for a new doctor Monday.

I have had nothing but trouble dealing with Dr. Basil. She does not return phone calls, I have IBS and the past week I suffered at home for two days! She never called me back. I also blame her office staff, they don’t communicate at all and everyone tells a different story. I ha e never encountered a doctor like her. So yesterday after a lengthy conversation with her office, I finally gave up and will find another doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Basil's for almost a year. I have been diagnosed with some gastrointestinal issues. I was waiting on labs before she would prescribe me medicine for these issues. I left a message with her staff on Thursday of last week. It is now Tuesday of a new week. Not acceptable. Basically when she gets around to it. I am suffering and in pain now. I told them I will wait patiently like I have been. What else can I do. SMH

I have never been treated this awful by a doctor in my life. I had to walk right out on her that’s how rude she was all because I had a no call no show 2 years ago... she should not work with people

I've seen Dr. Basil a couple of times in the last year or so, and thought she was a good and caring physician. However, two days ago (Thursday)I contacted her office to request a prescription to treat a flare up of my Ulcerative Colitis. I explained to the person on the phone that I was in discomfort and would appreciate the script filled as soon as possible. I was told she was at the hospital doing procedures and that a message would be sent to her. Yesterday (Friday), no sign of a prescription being sent to my local, or mail order, pharmacy, so I called back and spoke to the same person on the phone. And, I got the same answer; the doctor was at the hospital, she was sent the message, and there was nothing else that could be done until the doctor was able to "access the system and retrieve her messages"! Oh, and, that might not be until Monday when she is back in the office. It's 2019! She can't get her messages and authorize a faxed prescription for 4 days?!? What kind of… doctor allows a patient to be in pain for 4 days waiting on a script authorization?

Not a nice person .. demeaning to patients.. doesn’t answer questions .. has superior attitude with respect to others.
