I felt as if what I was going through didn’t matter to her. She just wanted me to get the easiest way to prepare for the procedure. She has no knowledge of how to contact my PCP, and/or my pharmacy. Unheard of … I had to give her the phone number, and then instructor to thorough props. I felt like she didn’t want to go the extra mile. Otherwise I would’ve gave a 5 star."

Then the nurse was so sweet and explained everything that would happen from beginning to end. Both anesthesiologist and Doctor (Nilay Kavathia) greet you and explain what they do as well.

"I've had 2 colonoscopies with Dr Kavathia over the past 8 years. I cannot stress this enough : the whole procedure, starting with the prep the day before, all the way up to waking up in the recovery room, was as smooth as could be. I did the Gatorade prep the day before. No cramps, no nausea, no problems. Maybe 4 hours in the afternoon where I needed to be at home, I just watched TV, it was a great time to catch up on my shows. Early in the morning of the procedure, I had to drink a small bottle of a different prep. Mixed with Gatorate and ice, consumed slowly, I had no problems. No cramps, no nausea. 2 hours later I was ready. The nursing staff was, super friendly, they all knew what was going on and bantered with me (I was a little anxious). One they put the drip in you, you are immediately relaxed...and then you wake up in the recovery room. Boom. Done. No headache, no nausea. On the drive home, we stopped at Bosa Donuts and had the most amazing Boston Cream. A short nap later, I was right as rain. 2 polyps detected, both removed, No post-procedure pain, no bleeding I'm scheduled for my next procedure in 5 years. I recommend that anyone who wants to get a colonoscopy see Dr Kavathia. He's super friendly and warm, and the prep his office prescribed was very, very easy to tolerate. The procedure was quick, and post-care involved a donut and a nap."

"I think doctors are spread pretty thin these days but Dr Kavathia took the time to explain about medications and procedures that pertain to my problems.

My first two doctors retired, and I was placed with Dr. Kavathia approximately 5 or 6 years ago. He is extremely knowledgeable, always up on the latest treatments, willing to think outside of the box, and knows just how urgent matters are. In addition, his assistant, Debbie, is the most competent medical assistant I have ever been lucky enough to have a doctor working with. She understands priorities, always gets, back to you, and is very kind and compassionate, as is the entire staff. I can’t say enough about this great doctor and his wonderful staff."

I would not be where I am today of it was not for him. I am extremely grateful to have him as my doctor!"
"Have seen several gastroenterologists over the past 15 years and Dr. Kavathia is the "best of the best." Not at all surprised that he is a recurring "Best Phoenix Doc." He is kind, he is personable, he is EXTREMELY knowledgable and he is a wonderful listener who pays careful attention to all of your symptoms and history to arrive at a suspected diagnosis and schedule appropriate testing and procedures. In addition he explains everything clearly and thoroughly and answers all questions. I can't praise this physician and the Mesa office and staff enough. Dr. Kavathia is another one of the doctors I have found here that truly practice the "art" not just the science of medicine. PS: It is now 9/3/2019 and I am adding to his review that I wrote over a year ago now that I have been seeing Dr. Kavathia for almost almost a year and a half. He continues to provide excellent care. I have to also add that his medical assistant Debbie goes above and beyond--- always responding to calls in a timely fashion, always with great information and a kind and supportive demeanor. Also a shout out to the entire office staff as well from appointment making to check in to vitals. Everyone is friendly, efficient, and works towards creating a very pleasant in office experience."

"This guy is the BEST! #1"
"This guy is the BEST! #1"
"In summer of 2017 I had 2 doctors tell me there was nothing wrong with me and I simply had the flu, as my health continued to decline my primary doctor and a friend put me in touch with Dr. Nilay Kavathia. Had I not seen him that summer I may not be writing this review today. Dr. Kavathia not only examined everything possible for his field but also demonstrated a compassion and empathy that will assure you that you are in the right hands. After countless visits to doctor's, hospitals, and surgical centers I am happy to say I am now completely healthy, on no medications, etc. Dr. Kavathia played a huge role in that. He is the best. If you ever read this, thanks doc!"
