"From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the most kindest, helpful $ respectful receptionist. I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for Dr. Verma’s nurse. Although the nurses have changed over the years, each one have always been kind & sweet. Dr. Verma respects your time and never keeps you waiting. He listens, he understands , he takes his time with you, and always treats you with kindness and respect. I’d say the only downfall is the person who checks you out. I’d give them 9 out of 10."

"It’s truly my 1st experience ever, as long as you follow the steps , pay close attention to what you’re supposed to do , YOU CAN insure a safe and speedy colonoscopy , with it being my 1st, Dr.V was very warm and compassionate, introduced himself as the chief physician who will be performing the procedure, explained everything clearly and his staff so gentle, walked me through the process completely, Afterwards, , Dr.V came to check on me post-op asked if I had any questions and just a nice human being over all. Granted , I was very scared out of my mind , not knowing what to expect; absolutely terrified , although colon cancer doesn’t run in our family… but there is always a first. I am glad to say , I don’t have to come back in another 10 yrs, but they encouraged me to take healthy steps for the next go around. And to think , when I was little , I thought Diverticulosis was a form of swimming style , I was 9yrs old at the time ,don’t judge me - lol Indeed made Dr. V laugh, Rest assured you will be in the best of hands coming here 🙏🏽 Cheers to Dr. V and to incorporating a high fiber diet"

"Dr. Shiv Verma is great!!! He's knowledgeable in his area of expertise! Beyond that, he is humble, kind, caring, compassionate, thorough, personable, encouraging, etc, etc. I like him a lot, 5 stars for him! He made me feel heard and connected as a person. ----------------------------- On the other hand.... the scheduler, JoAnna, was just the opposite - she's good at pleasing her bosses, but she's very rude to the customer. She's pulled her superiority game on me. She told me to put away my phone with a condescending tone of voice; loud and angry. I reported her to her supervisor... But, her boss, Denise, doesn't even know about her rudeness. She should be monitored on video. Obviously, there's a lack of customer care training happening there. She's been working for 11 years and has mastered her job, but rotten in customer care, no respect for elders. The management there is evidently lame. I'm not going back there because it's not a safe place for me. Please cancel all my future appointments."
"Dr.Verma is a very proactive, patient centered physician. He takes extra time to listen.. and has a great sense of humor!"
"Dr. VERMA IS A DOCTOR I WOULD RECOMMMEND. HE IS PERSONABLE, THOROUGH.AND WILLING TO ANSWER ANY C0NCERNS."
"My appointment with Dr. Verma was fantastic! He was so kind and explained my upcoming endoscopy procedures thoroughly and answered all my questions! He also has a great sense of humor and genuinely cares about his patients, which has become more and more rare in this day and age. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Verma!"
"I had my first appointment with Dr. Verma this past week. I had been having bowel problems for a month+. I was nervous to be seeing, yet, another doctor, a specialist. Dr. Verma has a professional and calming demeanor. He asked questions and gave reassurance of his experience when asked. He recommended a procedure and I scheduled my appointment, feeling more confident. Sat this time, I would highly recommend him. I plan to give an update review after the procedure. Update: I went for my colonoscopy at Desert Endoscopy Center where Dr.Verma performs these procedures. I had heard the horror stories of others in the past who had problems with their doctor and/or clinic procedure. It was professional, personable and organized from start to finish. The anesthesiologist even talked with me and put my mind at ease. I was very comfortable and everything went well. Dr. Verma said I wouldn’t have to see him for 10 years. I even received pictures of the inside of my colon which, some of you wouldn’t appreciate but they were interesting to me. I say again, I would highly recommend Dr.Verma AND Desert Endoscopy Center. Great experience!"

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Verma for several years now. Both he and his office staff are absolutely wonderful, which is a hard combination to find! It seems like if you love the doctor, the office staff are horrible, or vice versa. I know it’s not really comfortable talking about your rectum, let alone someone scoping there. Dr. Verma makes you feel at ease, no embarrassment. Takes his time to answer all your questions. I highly recommend him, and have to both family and friends. Kathlene Starkey LGBTQ + Friendly 🏳️🌈"

"My doctor always keeps me in the loop of my diagnosis."
"Dr. Verma made me feel at ease as I suffer from white coat syndrome. Explained what the issue was and what we were going to do to fix it."
"Very Good on diagnostics, but his communication skills could improve. He has an accent from his India roots and also speaks from that language verbal basics. Also I have not been as insistent on following up on my cues for getting improved info from him. I will be getting another provider at that practice."
