In patients' words
"I'm my 50 years of Crohn's disease and tons of complications, I've seen many Drs and hospitals and Dr Betteridge is the best."
— Healthgrades (Dr. John Betteridge)"Dismissive. Told me I should be seeing my PCP for my persistent nausea and significant weight loss and not be using their services."
— Healthgrades (Dr. Ketan Kulkarni)"Dr. Shih would not fill out FMLA papers in connection with my IBS condition... Clearly, he doesn't really know what IBS is and how it affects one's life."
— Vitals (Dr. Christopher Shih)"I wrote and asked for the reference going on 5 months ago now, and nothing. No concern for a patients health."
