Dr. Mehrdad Saliminejad, MD

Dr. Saliminejad may possibly make an effort to help or treat you if you have an appointment, but it's more likely you'll have to wait months to see him and never hear back if you have follow-up questions. I have left several messages with his office because I was experiencing intense pain for weeks following an endoscopy, and I still haven't heard back from the doctor, more than a month and a half later. It's been very frustrating to try to communicate with the doctor. Also, so much of his staff can be condescending over the phone when you try to leave a message. They act like it's not their problem if you are in pain or have questions about insurance coverage. Is everyone too busy to give proper time to each patient, or do the staff and doctor simply not care? Either way, I had to find a new gastroenterologist to help with my abdominal pain.

This place is like a factory but not in a good way. I had a colonoscopy and also a endoscopy ( also called upper GI ) last week. The next day the unimaginable pain started and now a week later I am still in pain. I have NEVER been in so much pain in my life! While I was asleep during the procedure my teeth got a trauma. I have had so much pain for a week now and when I called the office they said the doctor was not in and to just come back to the follow up appointment in 2 weeks. Wow...... Today I went to the dentist because the whole side of my face was swollen. After the dentist did the X-rays I got the bad news. I had to have one emergency root canal and might night 2 or 3 more on the teeth right next to the one. I have never had a root canal until now and my teeth are in top shape or they were until I went to get the endoscopy done last week. Stay away from this place if you don't want to go through what I have gone through. Do your research and read all the reviews. I wish I did… some more research after I was referred to this place.

Very caring, explain everything on a way that is easy to understand I miss him wish he did not live SIU

Did a bunch of tests but I cannot get ANYONE to call me back with results. I have called about 7 times. On top of that the doctor does not make sense. I went in complaining of acute pain immediately after eating a few bites of food. He wants to blame it on IBS. Ummmm....4 bites into a meal? Never when I am not eating. Does not make sense. Asked me if I have heavy periods. I said no in fact they are very light. He said, maybe they are heavy and you do not know it. Ummmmm...again, I am not a moron. All that aside, the lack of information being given to me about my medical information makes it ridiculous. NEVER AGAIN!
