I can’t say enough about Dr Pillai and his staff. They are unusually kind, helpful and got back to me very quickly with a return call, letting me know labs were ordered etc. Dr Pillsi himself was amazing….during Covid and during Christmas week willing to get me in for endoscopy at the last minute because we were leaving for vacation, calling me at 6 and 7 pm to confirm things. I have actually never before experienced this level of medical treatment before. Just exceptional!
