Dr Seetharam is a rare, special MD. He not only is knowledgeable and skilled, but cares for the patient. I highly recommend you see him. And his staff (both office and endoscopy center) are great, nice and caring too.

I’m so blessed to have Dr. Seetharam as my doctor. He truly cares about his patients. I always feel comfort and reassurance with him. He takes his time and finds the best treatment approach. Thank you for keeping me healthy!
Every detail of my procedure was completed with grace, kindness and respect. Thank you Dr. Seethram, your staff and the Scottsdale Endoscopy Center..
I have very little to add to the other positive reviews. Dr. Seetharam and I went to the same medical school (I went to the dental school) in St. Louis. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and spends time with patients and always asks “is there anything else you want to discuss”. I have found a GI Doc I truly trust. Doc, Chuck
Dr. Seetharam is professional and very kind. He explains everything very well and I recommend him highly!

I have been to numerous GI doctors over the years with some complicated health issues and I can say without a doubt, Dr Seetharam is the kindest and most caring GI doctor that I have worked with. He takes the time to explain things well and also has a great staff. I will use him for all of my future GI needs.

Staff was very friendly, I barely had to wait. Dr Seetharam was very comforting and built my confidence with the process.
Dr Seetharam is excellent! He spent 20 minutes with me explaining his treatment plan and answering all of my questions. I really appreciate the time that he took the time to listen and understand my health issues. Nice to be heard and not feel rushed.
