Anupam Aditi Md's Online Review Report Card

Great experience with Dr. Aditi Dr Aditi has worked with another one of my doctors to put a care plan for myself given my conditions. The level of care has been excellent!

Dr. Aditi cares about his patients. He has an excellent way of explaining things and I never felt rushed. Very thorough.

Excellent treatment.

0 STARS!!!! BEWARE: This doctor is unprofessional and is not responsive. He performed an ERCP to put a stent in my mother's bile duct and perform a biopsy to confirm that she has cancer. The first biopsy was inconclusive, and he need to do another biopsy. He did the biopsy but in the meantime, my mother was having severe pain in her stomach. She became constipated but instead of asking more questions, he told her to take Miralax. We called and emailed several times over the next couple of weeks because 1 - we saw on her portal that her biopsy results were in, but 2 - her pain was getting worse. We talked to his staff, emailed through the portal, but go no response from him. Once, he answered through his portal to take miralax, but nothing about the test results from the biopsy. Finally, after several days, he calls to tell her to keep taking the Miralax, but my mother at this point was jaundiced and was delirious. We asked him to call us back so we can fill in the details and get his advice. We were desperate to see our mother in such pain. After two weeks, my mother screamed in pain from the bathroom, and we said, that's it! We are going to emergency, and took her to Stanford, where she was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, that has metastisized to her lungs. Not only that, the stent he put in was infected and there was puss all around her bile duct and irritating her gall bladder. They also found clotting in the biliary tree (not sure if this is the right term) around her liver, and all of this was causing her pain. If we had waited one more day for his call, the worst could have happened. Guess what? He called me the next day, while I was at the hospital room. He did not call to finally update us or ask how my mother was doing. He actually called to chastise me for calling and repeatedly leaving messages with his staff. He also said I was discourteous to his staff and to him for calling so much and that he has other patients to attend to. After he told me off, he then asked what my questions were. First of all, I told him I did not have any questions because we got all of our answers elsewhere and listed all of the things that were happening with her that he could have at any point returned ONE of those messages to ME or my SISTER (because I wasn't the only one trying to get answers). I also said that it was discourteous and unprofessional of him to not let us know the results of the biopsy. He said he told my mother (who could barely finish a sentence at this point), and my response is to him...if you were dealing with her family, you felt it okay to tell an elderly woman she has stage 4 pancreatic cancer without her family present? By the way, my mother said he never told her she had cancer. If he did, she probably doesn't remember it. She doesn't remember to much these days. Anyway, he tried to yell at me some more, if you can believe that, but I did not have any more time for his foolishness. My mother is dying. He is no longer her doctor. I am relieved for it. I write this review two months after the incident because we have been dealing with the fallout from my mother's diagnosis and I write this from her hospital bed. I wasn't goint to say anything and just move on, but everytime I tell the story to our friends and family, they all tell me to report him to the medical board and Yelp because how he treated us was wrong, and who knows who else has been mistreated by him? I put it off because it is so much work and I have so much to focus on. That said, I now feel it is important to at least start here on Yelp. Had I read the previous reviews about him, I might have gone somewhere else too.

Very likely. I have recommended him. I was seen exactly at the time of my appointment. Dr Aditi always takes the time to answer all my questions.

Good

Dr Aditi was very friendly and straightforward. Showed real interest and understanding. I will be following up with him for my GI needs.

Thank you Dr. Aditi for all your help in taking care of my problem. Always explains everything. ??

When a Doctor that I know had a treatment from Dr Aditi? I can see a successful treatment on my next visit

Very nice. Very knowledgeable about his work; gave out useful information and practical advice
