C. Prakash Gyawali's Online Review Report Card

I have had one Endoscopy and three Colonoscopies over past almost 12 years. Very good bedside manner. Explains well. Reassuring. Wonderful Dr. I recommend him to my friends.

They’ve helped me out of some bad vomiting cycles. They get right back with you quickly.

He misdiagnosed me with Functional Dyspepsia when I had Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS). If I could give no star I would. For 6 months a had pain in my stomach that was so bad I could not eat. He told me to go to therapy, medicated me, and then diagnosed me with Functional Dyspepsia (stomach pain that can’t be explained). I did everything he asked .. including going to therapy and after all that and all the meds .. he told me to try acupuncture. Luckily, we got a diagnosis from other doctor before I continued on with pain.

I was desperately looking for a physician to diagnose and treat my gut issues I went through 7 doctors and none could diagnose, much less treat me. The last MD of the 7 did exhaustive testing but again said she could not help me . She gave me Dr. Gyawali’s name and phone number saying he was the best and if I could get in, she felt he could help me It’s been 11 years and although my gut issues ...

Dr. Gyawali was very nice. His son and my son went to school together, which made my son feel very comfortable. When I called to set up an appointment today, I made the mistake of calling the number listed on Google, which I was informed was incorrect. It seemed to greatly displeasure the person who answered the phone that I called the wrong section of the practice, so you might wish to update that. I have attached a photo for reference. The correct number has the same prefix but ends in 2066.

Great bed side manner and knowledgeable. Would recommend

IT WAS MY FIRST VISIT WITH DR. GYAWALI. I WAS IN A VERY BAD WAY WITH SEVERAL YEARS OF GI PROBLEMS. OTHER DOCTORS TRIED THEIR BEST BUT I WAS LOOSING THE WILL TO LIVE WITH MY QUALITY OF LIFE. AFTER THE FIRST EXAM THE DOCTOR HIT THE TARGET WITH 3 MEDICATIONS. WITHIN 2 MONTHS I AM MUCH BETTER AND WAS ABLE TO STAY IN CONTACT WITH HIM AND HIS STAFF OVER THE INTERNET. I MUST HAVE CONTACTED HIM OVER 50 TIMES WITH QUESTIONS AS MY CONDITION VARIED AND IMPROVED AS HE FINE TUNED THE MEDICATION. HE ALWAYS RESPONDED QUICKLY. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A DOCTOR WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE IN ST LOUIS. HE IS A VERY KIND AND UNDERSTANDING DOCTOR.

Dr. Gyawali was super, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My son has a rare disease and he was in for his scope quickly.

I have seen Dr.Gywali for about 4 years he saved my life i have achalasia rare thing but this dr was quick to take me as an emergency patient i went from 314lbs to 162lbs less than 8 months i couldnt eat or drink i wpould try n i would get sick everytime so i have to thank him for saving me he was friendly every visit we had explain everything and made sure u understood what was going on

Waited 9 months for first appointment with Dr. Gyawali. My first (and only) appointment with Dr. Gyawali has been, by far, the most horrible experience I have ever endured with anyone affiliated with Wash U. Descriptive terms that come to mind: condescending, dismissive, awkward, incoherent, irresponsible. Bizarre, actually. Refuses to listen, contradicts himself, becomes irate and offended when you ask questions or don't immediately and enthusiastically accept everything he says. Makes it clear that in his expert medical opinion, if you are not hospitalized and clearly dying when you see him, you are perfectly fine and you are wasting his time. His approach to medicine is to treat individual symptoms and ensure that you are aware that he has no responsibility or desire to determine the actual cause of your symptoms. I left having absolutely no idea what I had just paid for after waiting 9 months. To top it off, office staff are unbelievably rude.
