Dr. Gandotra is a soft spoken, gentleman who in my opinion is wonderful. Upon my initial visit with him he listened and asked questions as well as doing an exam. He determined that with my symptoms we should take a bit of a wait and see approach. Well, three months later when a test revealed the problem was still there I called for another appointment but that was not needed as he had written on my chart that if symptoms persist I should be scheduled for a colonoscopy. The day of the procedure - at Valley View Day Surgery (the best!) - he greeted me in the OR with a good morning and a big smile, I personally consider his bedside manner to be exceptional. I had no after effects, pain or any problems at all. I would highly reccomend him to my own family and that is about as good as it can get....
