I had a really positive experience with Monmouth Gastroenterology and Dr. Shah. I found her through my insurance network, and scheduling an appointment online was very easy. From the moment I met with Dr. Shah, I felt heard. She took the time to listen to all of my symptoms, walked through everything with me, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. She was professional, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire appointment. Based on my symptoms, she recommended a colonoscopy and endoscopy and made sure I understood the process and what to expect. Navigating new medical concerns can be stressful, but Dr. Shah made me feel comfortable and confident in the next steps. It was a great experience from start to finish, and I'm very grateful for the care I received. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shah and the team at Monmouth Gastroenterology. read more

Dr Baig and Nurse Practitioner Shannon Khulusi have provided me with excellent care for years. The office staff has also been excellent. I would recommend them highly to family and friends. read more

I started off with one doctor in this practice but I felt like he wasnt taking me seriously. So I switched to Dr. Meriki. She is very personable and actually listens. I recently had an endoscopy with her and all the staff at the center were amazing! The anesthesiologist was great also (sorry forgot his name). I definetly recommend this gastro group. I have been through so many gastro doctors in the past and now I finally have found the right one. read more

Good experience once I got in the office, but multiple issues with "administration." The ADH patient portal is primitive and does not provide info that I receive in other patient portals. Trying to get medical records to another provider was difficult. I had to request multiple times. Dr Mehriki, PA Katie Bacci, and Nurse Chelsea were very professional and helpful. read more

Dr Shah was very professional, listened to my concerns, and offered testing to forward a diagnosis. She was easy to speak with and did not oversell on unnecessary measures. Basically, you could choose btwn a few options... not pressure, decide which you're most comfortable with... and we go from there. In my case, I wanted definitive answers and chose to have an endoscopy. That could not have gone easier/smoother. At the time, Dr Shah was VERY pregnant and a week from maternity leave. Yet, despite what could've been a difficult time for her to work comfortably, she was energetic, empathetic, and thorough. I hope the childbirth goes, or went, smoothly; and, that she is able to return to seeing patients when she decides the time is right. Why? She's an excellent physician! read more

I had a test that was fairly uncomfortable to go through. However, the nurse explained every step of the way very calmly and very nicely. She's a great asset to the practice. I find that when I go to a doctors office and the staff are friendly and very helpful, it makes the visit that much nicer. The staff clearly show their happiness with their roles. I would credit the physicians with the overall attitude of the office! My physician is terrific. No wonder the staff is great! Thanks to all! Thanks to Dr Tom Fiest! read more

I was a patient of Dr Feist for over 25 years with this group. Everyone is always so pleasant and helpful. I looked at the website and chose Dr Baig. I was very impressed with his manner and attention to detail. I am assured that my choice was the right one. I've already received a few calls from his office to check up on me. I'm very happy and definitely would recommend Monmouth Gastroenterology. read more

I loved that the doctor was personable and didn't try to prescribe medications! He gave me alternative suggestions in diet instead of pharmaceuticals. That is important to me and the problem resolved itself. read more

Dr Baig has been my doctor for 10 years. He goes above and beyond, wonderful personality. extremely knowledgeable. Genuinely cares about his patients. Dr Baig talks WITH YOU, Not TO YOU. He listens and works together with you on your care. He is an incredible doctor. He takes his time , you never are "rushed" out of the office. I can't say enough good things about Dr Baig. zi highly recommend him read more

I hope this message gets to Dr. Belitsis. I have been a patient of his for over 10 years, and he found my gastric cancer and will always be indebted to him. We also share an affinity for Brooks sneakers. However, the front office staff and med techs (as noted by other reviewers) are the most impertinent, sanctimonious, insolent group of human beings on Earth. How this practice was blessed with so many is beyond comprehension. There is a warm place by the fire for these individuals. I tried to make an appointment to see Dr. Belitsis, but I was told to call back in December (next Monday) for a January appointment because apparently the schedules are only released then. What medical practice only books 30 days out? My PCP and Cardiologist are a minimum 3 months out for a wellness check. If you can get to see the good doctor, I would recommend him, but you'll need to get past the hounds of hell first. Happy trails! read more

So that unpleasant receptionist did make the appointment. Then I get a confirmation email, and AGAIN they switched the doctor from Dr. Baig to another doctor. AGAIN. I think this is a sign from the universe. I used to recommend this place because of Dr. Baig, but not anymore. They need to do something about their staff. Why are they changing your appointments without any consent, then trying to gaslight you that it didn't happen? Time to find a new doctor. read more

Dr Kaswala is the best! Takes the time to talk to you and get to know you. He is friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

Great Dr! Dr Belitsis is the best. I recieve the best of medical care from him. Although you some time have to wait to get to see him due to the schedule. Great office staff as well. read more

Dr Baig allows you to be part of the conversation. He listens and tries to understand what you are saying. The staff shows competency.

Dr Mehriki is a wonderful doctor. She does not rush your appointment. She is knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend her,

Dr Belitsis is great! Knowledgeable, thorough and great bedside manner. I highly recommend!

I drove to this facility for the first time today, and I was treated with nothing but the upmost respect, and the wait time was minimal. Nicole, is the first person that spoke to me in the room and what a nice relaxing, calming woman she is. When the doctor came in, he was very pleasant and upbeat and they both seem to think that they will get to the root of my problem and save me. I believe them. For the record, I googled yelp to see if this group was on here and how disappointing of the comments because I did not have that experience at all so that is why I am doing a yelp comment because I don't want you to be as afraid as I was to go there, they are wonderful, calm, sweet Understanding and intelligent. I think those other reviews were just from people that have no patients or can't read and follow directions. Thank you for taking the time to read this very long yelp. Stay well all read more

Outstanding knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend them for all your gastro needs and concerns

I had an appointment for 10a and was told to be there by 9:30, which I was. At 10:30 I had still not been even asked to provide my insurance card / pay copay. I asked the receptionist how long it would be and she said that there were a lot of people ahead of me. I waited 15 more minutes and was still not called. I ended up leaving after waiting for an hour and 15 minutes. read more

doctor is always friendly, knowledgeable and listen to on your concerns and stuff seems friendly.

I was highly impressed with the overall cleanliness, proficiency and professionalism of the office and staff {spoken by a retired supervisor in medical offices/hospitals/ASC's over forty years myself}. I will highly recommend your practice in the future. read more

Office staff is extremely unprofessional and rude. Thay could care less about the patients.

I agree wih negative comments on the waiting. why schedule a time if you won't be seen on appointment time. Also, front desk personnel is rude. Needs a little kundness on this type of business. read more

First time here visiting my new gastroenterologist Dr. Rajiv Uppal (so far he seems like a great doctor, I'd highly recommend him). The staff was very friendly and efficient. I arrived just a minute after my appointment time and had a bunch of paperwork to fill out (I absolutely detest those forms). I could see my doctor around 30 minutes after my scheduled time, so I wasn't too happy with the wait time but I can't really blame them for that since I had to fill out the paperwork. I will be coming back here soon for a follow up - can't really say I'm looking forward to coming back here (Lol!) but I definitely like the people here so far. read more
