My child was in NICU for 8 months. 6 & 1/2 of those 8 we dealt with Dr. Jalili. He is absolutely terrible. Had I not consulted another GI in New Orleans my child would still be in the hospital or possibly deceased. My child isn't an easy case, I understand that, but if you don't know then you don't know. That's when you just have to man up and refer the patient to a more experienced GI. The best decision I ever made for my child was getting away from him and seeking a second opinion. It saved my child's life.

I like Dr Jalili...I find him caring and Professional. It is rather hard to get an appointment but I understand he is busy. Satisfied after 8 years of going to him with my Home Health Patients.

He should not be working with children. Very abrupt and unfriendly. Staff is same. Wait forever! Only wants to scope, etc., before trying anything. Not available in any way unless you are in his office. Very hard to understand. Again, NOT child-friendly!
