Reddy GI

"Should've checked the reviews. Saw Dr. Kalfus about recurring GI pains, and was prescribed general symptom reducing medication and a test to see if I had bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine. Infection confirmed at the time of a follow-up two weeks later, and I have an antibiotic prescribed for it over telehealth, and a refill on the backburner in case I felt I needed it. Fine and dandy. Come some time later, I realize I don't actually have any information on what my infection means for me, and call back to request the notes for our visit - I hadn't received anything. First told they'll be escalated over to someone who can, and then informed I may see it day of, if not the following day and to call if it didn't happen. Finally got a chance to check over the notes, and there is nothing about my test. There's no information about it at all! No notes, what I need to know, any education, nothing. The doctor was apparently content to leave me with minimal information about my infection and to just take medication to get through it. Medication that conflicts with my pulmonary medicines, which I know I shared with him. Perhaps it's on me for not asking, but I think it should be common sense to inform your patients about the conditions they have. I also asked the doctor if there would be any further follow-ups: Only if I needed to have one. If you're thinking about coming here please seek out a different GI."

"I was told after paying a co-pay for my initial consult that current staffing upheavals preclude scheduling ANY diagnostic procedures in the foreseeable future, and that I may ultimately need a referral to a different GI provider altogether. So, what did I just pay for??! The office should have phoned me with this information before I paid for a costly, worthless appointment. Do NOT waste your time or money on this disorganized, unprofessional outfit."

"Horrible they just want your money by doing procedures. Don’t recommend!!"

"I truly wish there was a 0 for a rating. Absolutely the most unprofessional medical office I’ve ever been to. Amber Senator called me and left a message she had my test results after enduring extreme sickness and many many test and I called her back 7 times during the duration of the day. The office front desk to assured me she would get back to me before end of day. When I still hadn’t heard back by 4:45 I drove to the office to speak to her in person and get my results only to find the office closed and the door locked even tho the sign on the door stated they were open until 5pm.I called the main number and was hung up in by the receptionist who I was talking to. Unprofessional , rude, and completely menacing. This is how they treat a patient who has had ongoing issues for over a year!!! Run! Find ANYWHERE ELSE!!!"

"I went in with all GI symptoms of "long COVID" (or post-COVID syndrome). The doctor did conceded that she thought I had COVID months ago, but instead of looking into how to treat ongoing symptoms, she wanted to remove my gallbladder, then do a colonoscopy, neither of which I wanted done. My gallbladder ultrasound was clear. I had some aching at that time, but upon palpation, no pain. Doctor conceded the gallbladder was stable, but she still wanted to take it out, without any further testing! It could have been a simple matter of damage to cells in the duodenum causing a lack of release of CCK, the hormone that stimulates the gallbladder to release bile, but no other testing was offered. (There are plenty of cases showing the gallbladder can be affected during COVID infection). She would also not agree to doing the "virtual colonoscopy" for me instead of a regular colonoscopy. I get the pros and cons of each, but now I'm having NEITHER because she refused to work with me. My naturopath has gotten my gallbladder functioning well; I'm very glad I didn't listen to the GI and have it removed. After already being frustrated with doctors, my experience at Reddy GI has only made it worse. I felt like a piece of meat, just there as something to make money from. If a doctor can't think outside the money-making box, I'm not interested."
