"Love the staff here. From the first consultation to the procedure to being released, it was smooth as silk. Everyone is so caring and nice. Kory the anesthesiologist and Debbi and Fernanda are all-stars! And of course Dr. Kavathia is tops; he’s caring, professional and communicative. Makes you feel at ease and special. My wife, mother in law and myself have all been here and highly recommend them."

"Doctor Mahajani is probably one of the best and caring doctors I've come across in a long time. He did not only helped me with my health symptoms but helped me understand how stress and anxiety affected my health. He asked the right questions and most of all listened to what I had to say. The staff always friendly and professional. Roxeanne calls me the next day after my EGD to find out how I was doing, not too many Doctor's practices do that.... I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED! Keep it up Desert Endoscopy Center! I am thankful for such a wonderful team, I will refer family and friends as I'm sure they will be treated with equal professionalism and warmth."

"I am thankful I have been given the opportunity to complete a survey for Dr K. The first time I met him I felt instantly connected with him. He seemed genuine, sincere and very laid-back. I remember talking to him and thinking this is a really cool guy. Every time I’ve interacted with him he seems more like a friend than my doctor. I know Dr K cares about my health and me as a person and that means a lot. I tell all my friends about Dr K and if they need a good Gastro doctor he’s the man."

"I have now been to Desert Endoscopy Center 3 times and always received the best of care and respect. Dr Grade and his staff makes you feel welcomed and relaxed for the procedure. Dr Grade makes a point to talk with you prior and after the procedure to give his feedback and answer any questions you may have. I only wish there was an alternative to the cleansing process. Perhaps in 5 years there will be something a little more easy on the system. Thanks to the great staff!"
