Ramesh Ashwath's Online Review Report Card

Reviews don’t lie. Look at them before going to this facility. Made an appointment on a day off to see this Dr. arrived at office to find about 20 people waiting. They are not professional and god forbid they call you to tell you that they cannot accommodate you. The receptionist lacks any and all empathy…she should not be working with the public, but rather stay in a cubicle at a call center. Run don’t walk away from this place! They have no etiquette and going there is a waste of time.

Dr. Ashwath is splendid. He is always courteous, professional and insightful. The office staff is very accommodating and cheerful.

Dr. Ashwath might be a good doctor, but the service offered by Bay Area Advanced Gastroenterology is very disappointing and terrible. There has never ever been any follow-up to check on the patient's well-being after a procedure. If the patient tries to setup a follow-up instead, never gets any call back or timely response. I had a procedure done on Jan 16th, 2023, by Dr. Ashwath, been having complications since the procedure was done. To make sure there is nothing serious going on and to get some advice to handle this complication, have called multiple times to talk to the nurse or get advice from the doctor, with no response till date. After constant running around for last 2-weeks, finally I was given a tele-appointment for 4:15pm for today (2/07/2023). The lady who set the appointment, collected the service changers promptly ahead of time, its 5:20pm, MORE THN HOUR PAST SINCE THE APPOINTMENT TIME, here I am sitting by the phone, waiting to be called. Why it's always having to be the patients that gets dinged - if we run late or miss our appointment, aren't we are charged a penalty? What if the doctor or the practice miss the appointment given to the patient, make the patient wait with no show from the doctor + with no timely communication justifying the no-show, will we be refunded the advance? or can we not demand a refund and collect a penalty from the doctor's office for wait/no-show? It's really frustrating... I will never recommend this practice to anyone even though the doctor seems to be nice. NEVER EVER.

I was referred to Dr Ashwath from my primary doctor and I'm do glad he referred him because this doctor is great, he is very knowledgeable, has great bed side manors, takes his time and listens to your concerns and does not rush you and he doesn't seemed rushed for time like most doctors, I also love the fact he does thorough testing to make sure everything is good and to ensure proper diagnosis. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a Gastroenttrologist.

Dr. is kind, humble & empathetic. I would definitely recommend this practice.

Rapid appointment and follow up

Dr. Ashwath takes time to listen to patients and patiently explains.

Loved the staff, Dr. Ashwath and everyone for their caring and professional manner. You all rock!
