I recently had my gall bladder removed by Dr. Agaba. His staff is very pleasant and easy to work with. He is a jewel. Very upbeat and reassuring. I had zero complications after my surgery and am doing well!

Dr. Agaba saved my life. If he wasn't there that day I would be dead. And this isn't the most important reason I deeply love this man. He went above and beyond the requirement for his job. He came in on days off to help me when my mental strength to keep fighting waned. The stories on here of people with bad reviews are absurdly made up. I know for a fact Dr Agaba would never do what they say. Some people are so bitter they can't be pleased. Dr Agaba is the best doctor I have ever been around (and I have been around hundreds if not thousands) and he is one of the best human beings I have ever met. You do yourself a disservice if you don't have him as your doc for any and all GI issues.

have been seeing Dr Agaba for about a year now. Hawe never waited more than a few minutes in office. If he finds his schedule is changed and he might be late, office calls and reschedules your appointment. He so so kind and patient with all questions. And, follow up after bariatric surgery has been great. I can not recommend him enough.

DR . AGABA IS OUTSTANDING !!!! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND DR. GUPTA .. THEY BOTH TAKE THE TIME AND NOT ONLY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO YOU BUT THEY LISTEN AND HONESTLY CARE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU... YOUR NOT JUST A PATIENT . YOU ARE A PERSON THAT MATTERS .. AND NOT EVERYONE TREATS YOU IN SUCH A MANNER .. THEY ARE THE BEST IN MY BOOK ..

I went to see Dr. Agaba to have a lipoma removed. I never saw him before the day of surgery. After waiting on a gurney for 4 1/2 hours, he finally came in. He had never reviewed my tests. He left the room to look at them, came back, stated he wanted another test and instead of sending me for it immediately, told me his staff would schedule it and call me. The lack of communication between him and his staff and hospital is disgusting. This all should have been done before I went in for surgery, not the day of. I'm not sure if I will let him operate on me at this point because I'm not sure I trust him.
