"I have history of cancer in my family and so knew that I would likely need to start preventative screenings earlier than many people. Dr. Arastu listed to my family history and suggested a proactive approach to make sure we are watching as closely as we can, for which I was grateful, including my first colonoscopy, and also recommended an MRI and genetic testing. I appreciate her listening to my concerns about everything and her communication the day of the procedure, both before and afterwards. I am already recommending her to friends and coworkers. I also had an all woman team for my procedure, which I just loved."

"Dr Srastu is very thorough. As a new patient she has ordered many different blood labs, sonograms, and.MRIs so she has a baseline and finds all possible side effects from new medications. She has an excellent triage staff to ensure all possible concerns get addressed. I am very pleased with her."

"Dr. Arastu is amazing!! After years of gut problems and not being satisfied with my internist’s recommendations, I sought out a gastroenterologist whose reviews made me schedule an appointment. I had faithfully had my required colonoscopies but needed someone who would listen to my concerns and, luckily, I found Dr. Arastu. I highly recommend her."

"I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Arastu. She never seems rushed and she explains everything clearly. She doesn’t sugar coat things, but she has a very warm manner and she’s very approachable in terms of questions. I’ve already referred my BFF to her for a colonoscopy. I would highly recommend Dr. Arastu."

"Dr. Arastu is an amazing care provider. She is patient and an excellent listener. As a recent breast cancer patient, I appreciated her compassion and empathy. She understood my anxiety at yet another screening and allayed my concerns. When the results indicated what seemed to be a small polyp but was actually some kind of benign growth, she took the time to call me personally to explain. Her professionalism and credentials are impressive; her compassion is why I will remain a loyal patient and recommend her highly."

"I’m a massage therapist and I’m comfortable with body stuff but even I get a little nervous talking about my stomach and digestion problems (and what happens after) but this doctor was so professional and realistic. Plus she listened. She’s a mom. She did not flinch at the words blot clot. Her staff is smart and efficient. I didn’t love the treatment at the only other place I could find in town so I’m lucky she turned out to be so helpful!"
