After 43 years of digestion issues Dr. Gourdji was the first to diagnose me with sibo. He prescribed ne three medicine to make sure it gets fully knocked out. I am so happy that I will finally have a flat and happy stomach again. I am also in shock how many doctors missed this and for so long I suffered. Going to the best doctors is a must!!!! read more

After waiting weeks for an appointment, my husband saw Dr. Gourdji for abdominal pain. He had a specimen sent to the lab. After waiting to hear from the doctor, I was able to get the report from the lab with a power-of-attorney. It indicated a terminal condition. Dr. Gourdji never spoke to me about the results. I left a phone message at the office but received no call back. I then personally took my husband to the hospital emergency room, and my husband was admitted. He passed away about a month later. From the time my husband saw the doctor in the office to the time he died, I had no communication with Dr. Gourdji - none. I realize it must be difficult to convey bad news to a patient or spouse, but I felt abandoned. I was left to manage my husband's care totally by myself. read more

This office is an absolute scam. I was charged $1175 for a 20 minute office visit and a routine office examination.

This is NOT a review of Dr. Gourdji or any other doctor in this practice. This is a review of the patient service at this office. They are corporately owned by Unio Health and the office treats you like a number, not a person. You can never get a person on the phone, rather it's leave a voice mail or use their web portal (that isn't the same name as the office--- Unio, a Genesis Health facility). If you leave a voice mail they promise to get back to you within 48 hours which is NOT acceptable. The phone tree is a time suck. They must be understaffed. Furthermore, they sign you up with a corporate "Health program" where an RN in Tennessee calls you to discuss and update your health. She's a generalist, not someone familiar with your chart. Then they charge your insurance (Medicare) for a "visit" when a doctor in this practice reviews some general information that the RN has sent to them. This reeks of unnecessary charges. Patient beware!! read more

If you leave a voice mail they promise to get back to you within 48 hours which is NOT acceptable. .When you call you get a bunch of buttons to press. If you know the extension you are in luck. However there is no button to push for front desk if you just want to ask a question. There are separate departments who call you to make an appointment or other service. I did the test for Sibo. There is only one person who does only Sibo Tests, When I finally got the result of my test they called me to tell me I was positive. She said I needed an antibiotic for this. I said ok please call my pharmacy. She said Doctor wants to talk to you first. I said ok. He can do Telehealth next Tuesday which was in a week. I said why - He can call me now and just relay the message so I could get the medicine and begin my treatment. No I have to wait a week for an appointment, Thought was very strange. Really this office is very difficult to deal with. Dr Gourdji is very nice and has tried to help me. But I don't feel well taken care of. I have crazy IBS with a lot of discomfort. Tried a lot of medicines that did nothing. I hope this treatment for Sibo will help my issues. read more

I saw Dr. Maurice Gurdji, he listened to me patiently & very professionally, I feel that I'm at the right hands to take care of my health problem. I highly recommend. read more

They call me the day before my appointment to tell me they sent an email that needs to be completed 3 days before my appointment. Why not send it sooner? Then she calls me and is rude and tells me my appointment is canceled ? Lol okay good if you're this rude I don't even want you to take my money. Bunch of incompetent assholes. I don't recommend. read more

Dr. Gourdji and staff of inSite Digestive Healthcare are the best team of medical staff. My Experience from the preliminary process of getting set up to meeting Dr. Gourdji was very pleasant. I am impressed with everyone. They offer very intuitive online portal in regard to medical records, inquiries, medicine refill, etc. I highly recommend! read more

This review only pertains to their office staff as I never got to see the doctor. First, they are booked really far out and when I called the soonest I could make an appointment was a month and a half out. They then sent me paperwork to fill out online and a link to set up an account with their online portal. I completed both of those within a week of receiving them. Fast forward to the day of my appointment and no call for confirming the appointment or answering Covid questions which is pretty standard at doctors offices nowadays. So I called them. They were "sent the wrong information for my appointment" and just marked it as confirmed in their system as they never tried to get a hold of me. And then the proceeded to tell me they did not have my paperwork. That it's emailed to them from the jot form system and they didn't get it. I even tried to submit it again and it wouldn't let me as it said I already submitted it. Both very concerning things containing my personal information which seems to go against HIPPA laws and does not make me feel comfortable working with this doctors office. The doctor may be fine but their office needs to get a handle on their process and find better ways to work with their patient's personal information. read more

My husband and I have gone to him for many years now and we have both had colonoscopies. He is the best ever and I would not think to go anywhere else! He is always caring and extremely professional. He is the best at what he does. read more

Horrible patient service at this office. They do t care about their patients at all. You can't reach anyone at the office when needed, they never answer the phone, worst office ever read more

**As an 'update' I would like to mention that after my one star review, he had suddenly received many 5 star reviews by brand new people/accounts, with zero prior reviews, and few newer ones. I find it interesting that these new accounts were miraculously made after my one star review was made....** My one star review stands, I do hope people take our experience into consideration when making a decision about procedures that are forced/bullied onto you by any doctor. How nice it would have been if he actually called to apologize for his incredibly bad behavior and treatment, rather than have his office write a reply pooh-poohing this atrocious behavior read more

Dr. Maurice Gourdji, is my gastroenterologist for years. Recently, I had a very severe case of colitis. It took close to two weeks to subside. Obviously Dr. Gourdji was my busy gastro-guy. The reason I am writing this review is the let people know about his dedication too. He has been in contact with me daily by phone and text, sometimes twice a day and on the weekends too. This shows the real interest that unfortunately some doctors may falter. He did not wait for me to call him; it was he who initiated the calls. So, if anyone needs a gastroenterologist who not only knows his craft but cares about his patients, he is the chosen one!! Gabriel Goren. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The office staff is unbelievably rude. Dr Gourdji mixed my chart up with someone else after my procedure and gave me the wrong information and never took notes about our initial phone consult so when I called a few months later there was no information in my chart about anything we discussed. The whole experience with him was horrible. read more

Dr. Gourdji has been my gastroenterologist for years. I have had many colonoscopies and endoscopies. He is the best and I wouldn't go any where else. very kind and caring. sandi N read more

DR Gourdji saved my life! Back in 2011 I developed symptoms that could have been anything from Pancreatic Cancer or Bile Duct Cancer to nothing... The symptoms came and gone, no Ultrasound or MRI revealed anything! DR Gourdji and my GP insisted that there was something! Further test found a tumor that was still benign but would have eventually turned to cancer. Tumor removed and I became a dedicated patient of DR Gourdji who took care of my digestive system ever since. He is dedicated to his patients and caring not to mention his staff. I will recommend him to anybody who needs a Gastroenterologist. read more

I recently went to Dr Gourdji for a routine procedure at his surgical center in Encino, CA. Dr Gourdji as well as his entire team were nothing short of perfect. Everyone on the team was professional, caring, and the center itself was immaculate. Following the procedure Dr Gourdji spent time with me explaining the results of my procedure, and then filled up with me again several days after. Again, the entire experience was perfect! read more

I found Dr.Gourdji through my insurance and one recommendation and I'm so glad I called . He is very kind , understanding , listens to your anxieties which to me is very important. I also didn't have to wait too long to get the procedures I really needed . I highly recommend if you are looking . read more

If I could give ZERO starts I would. The way he treated my elderly mother over the past few weeks has been unbelievable. My mother had a colonoscopy and he claimed there was a mass on her appendix. My mother followed up for two weeks with no response back. If this was not terrible enough, my mother decided to go into the office to get her results and the staff assured the doctor would see her. She waited over an hour and the doctor told the staff he was doing a procedure and to tell my mother that she DOES NOT HAVE CANCER( through the front desk staff). This was false information because Dr. Gourdji finally decided to call my mother to tell her that he thinks it is something but he does not know what? So, he suggested to take her appendix out and contact the surgeon. My poor mom on having to endure all of this at 84 years old- we felt awful for her. She should not have needed to go through such stress at her age. I want to warn everyone about Dr. Gourdji. I hope people read this before making an appointment with this so-called medical professional. Please say a prayer for my mom and BEWARE of this doctor. read more

The entire operation is effective, professional and reassuring. Pre- and post procedure staff are caring and supportive. I particularly appreciated that Dr. Gourdji took the time for a brief post-procedure preliminary chat and up-date so that you left the office with an idea on how you were/are doing and did not have to wait for days for results. read more

Every five years for the last quarter-century I have had a colonoscopy, and each time Dr. Gourdji did it. He's excellent. I've referred friends and family to him, and I can assure you that they too would be pleased to write highly-positive comments about him. Oh, and you can add very nice person to his medical expertise. read more

Everything and everyone rushed thru my procedure like a meat processing line. The doctor never even check to see how I was doing afterwards didn't speak to me about results or explained issues found in my colon procedure nothing I mean I engaged more with anesthesiologist, At the end of the line I asked for a doctors note to excuse myself from work lifting 10lbs and standing over 8 hrs after a colonoscopy and that was pulling teeth. This Doctor nurse some Asian lady that has orange blonde hair with blue contacts. Suggested that I get another job if I needed a doctors note and that they NEVER give next day excuses... I mean the level of care. I will never return here. Getting results was a waiting game just a terrible experience, the only positive that everything in the end was ok, I look back an NEVER want to do this or come here again. read more

My internist recommended Dr. Gourdji and he was wonderful. Caring, patient, and considerate of my fears of poor results of the colonoscopy, all was OK. So far he has performed three colonoscopies each for my wife and me. I recommend him with all my heart, he is the best! read more

Let me mention " Barbara " She is something else it really needs a serious case of training provided by Providence St. Joseph. She does not stand for the mission statement as a service provider which I am formally doing a complaint with Providence Saint Joseph sorry for Dr. but she does not meet his factory provided to patients at this facility. read more

This is what a doctors office should be. Scheudled my pre-surgery office visit. I was 10 minutes late, (called to let them know), they saw me promptly. Dr. Gourdji is very nice, I felt like he took a personal interest in me and was generous with his time. Scheduling the procedure was easy and efficient with his staff. The out patient surgery center was amazing, everyone from reception to the nurses were very professional, and courteous. Any medical procedure is stressful, however my experience with this doctor and his staff gave me zero stress. Highest recommendation. read more

I've been going to Dr Gourdji for several years now and I have zero complaints. He's done three colonoscopies and one endoscopy. He always explains things, is very nice and I trust his opinion completely. My only peripheral complaint is that his assistant Anna always seems to be noticeably unfriendly. I've never had any issues with her so I'm guessing it's just her manner but it is a bit off-putting. read more

Stay away! Get a Doctor who actually cares. If I could give negative stars I would. I went to get a colonoscopy a few years ago from Dr Gourdji and thought his bedside manner was lacking then. I decided to go back because I had an issue and didn't know another dr in his specialty. When I went back with a problem he was rude, inconsiderate, condescending and extremely unprofessional. I waited almost an hour to see him and when I got in the room he said it was almost 6 and he didn't have much time. I told him what my issues were and that I had seen another doctor previously about them, he got upset I had seen someone else and yelled at me to go back and see them! It was so strange and very unprofessional! I had to argue with him to examine me. I finally got so feed up I walked out in the middle of my appointment. If you want a compassionate caring doctor I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. read more

Dr. Gourdji completed a procedure on me a week ago. He explained everything thoroughly and gave me my options. When the procedure was completed he came by to discuss results and see how I was doing. I received a follow up call two days later. I found Dr. Gourdji to be kind and gentle. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Dr Gourdji has been taking excellent care of me for 10 years. I refer him to friends / family, all of us are very satisfied and continue recommending his care. read more

This doctor was abrupt, dismissive and condescending, "mansplaining" commonly known procedures. It's understood that having a proper, in person visit is difficult in times of COVID, but still cannot recommend. read more

Get a second opinion! I went to another Insite doctor facility and received a completely different diagnosis. Difficult to get an appt and he is always running late with no regard for your schedule. Even when you are the first appt! read more

Dr. Gourdji and his staff were very kind , understanding, and efficient during this time of covid and always. Dr Gourdji and I were able to do a zoom conference and he ordered a testing kit so that I didn't have to come into the office.

Dr. Gourdji has been my specialist for many years caring for all my gastrointestinal issues. He's kind, very informative and tells it like it is. He doesn't waste my time with nonsense and yet, he spends as much time as I need to help me understand what is best for me. I never have to wait long at my appointments and the office staff are nice and really efficient. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Gourdji and his office staff. Always professional to arrange an appointment and to obtain followup information. Few medical offices are run this well. Dr. Gourdji is informative, kind and non-rushed as well. read more

Doesn't seem like a very caring office, with rude receptionists - I'll just take my money elsewhere. Left a message and was promised a call back by the receptionist and never received a call back to at least tell me that she's working on getting my issue handled. Also, if you see another dr (even one time) at their medical group it's going to be a battle to see another one. I'm sorry, I pay a lot for my ppo and should be able to go to a closer dr to my home if I choose to. Just way too difficult to work with. Not going to keep chasing the receptionist for a status. Clearly the office stadf need some lessons on customer service. It's now been over a week and she still hasn't called me . read more

I've had no bad experiences with Dr. Gourdji at all, a couple years ago I had an Endoscopy done which went very smooth and I still see him from time to time.. The staff is amazing! They make you feel so welcomed when you come into the office, Corinne, Barbara, and Shelly... When it comes to writing on the portal, Barbara, Dr Gourdji, and Susan are very quick to write back.. I wrote something to them after my visit today and Susan got back to me after hours, now that's a true office! I would highly recommend going there! read more

My only experience is with Barbara. She is fabulous! read more

Been visiting Dr. Gourdji for almost 10 years. He is kind, sympathetic, and his entire staff always makes me feel comfortable in what is probably one of the least comfortable settings one can be in. I always rely on his expertise and caring nature. read more
