Dr. Janu was everything you want in a surgical specialist. He asked great questions and really listened to our answers. He's not in a hurry to perform surgery, but insists on careful testing first. He has more than one option for possible solutions as well.

Dr. Janu is kind, always takes the time to explain all treatment options in a way that is easy to understand, and has a plan. He is absolutely phenomenal. I have been working with him for 6 years and he is not hesitant to order diagnostic tests when necessary. His expertise with gastrointestinal disease and complex GI issues/surgical interventions is impressive. Dr janu and his staff are amazing.

Dr. Janu is professional and down to earth at the same time. He takes the time to explain everything and answers your questions. A very good doctor. His office assistant Christi is knowledgeable and gets things done. She doesn’t miss a beat. In healthcare that’s a wonderful attribute to have. Dr. Janu has a great staff. They all compliment each other nicely.

Dr Janu was very thorough with his explanation of the results. I thought the 3 weeks after the procedure seemed like a long time to wait for a follow up… other than that, things went smoothly.
