Patient Success Stories & Reviews | Citrus Valley Gastroenterology

Stephanie Forrand

Every staff member was so kind and helpful! The front desk staff, the nurses and the Dr. were so present and compassionate. My one request would be to allow one person to wait with you in the back. It’s a hard time to be nervous and alone and it would make the experience so much better. Thank you to the Dr. and all staff for treating me so well!

Anthony Crane

Patrick is a affable person and a great doctor. He's taken good care of me a few times now. The medical group services and people. Are always very positive, professional and knowledgeable.
My wife and I feel so blessed to have such great medical care here. Thank you.

Evelyn Grey

Dr. Synder does listen to me and I appreciate that, but I don't think he was as concerned about my growing hemangiomas from 5 cm to 7 cm as I have a bulging stomach and feel like I'm 6 momths pregnant.

Maybe after some test results, he will have a more strategic plan of action why they are growing. I wish the follow up was sooner than 3 months out, as his schedule appears to be full. My concerns are more urgent to me, as I do research, and I'm really involved in my own health status. The facility is really clean and the staff is really professional

Dr. Sharma met with me to continue ruling out pancreatic problems. He was reasonable, knowledgeable, straightforward. He had an excellent bedside manner. He walked into a situation with little information and compassionately took the time to get my care back on course. doctors don't have enough time to do their job properly these days, so I respect that he took the time and was not rude or dismissive. Thank you!

Dr. Patrick Truong and his Assistant, Tina Marie, make an excellent team. Dr. Truong has given my 93 year old mother the most exceptional care. He is such a compassionate and professional doctor and his expertise is without compare. Tina Marie is quick to return our calls and she has such wonderful communication skills. Her kindness has meant a great deal to us. We have the highest confidence in Dr. Truong and his staff.

Went in for a consultation for an endoscopy. The front desk people were nice. And they called me in right away. Johana was very helpful she helped me finish filling out my paperwork. Dr. Sharma explained how the procedure was going to be and how long it will take. Overall all the nurses and receptionist were nice.

I went in to discuss about my liver and stomach health. Dr. Wu was very professional and very nice and answered all of my questions very patiently and it did not feel rushed. I hope this place stays this way, I will always come here! Meghan was also super professional and was efficient at her work. 10/10 would recommend coming here! Thank you to Meghan and Dr. Wu for making my visit welcoming and comfortable.

This was the first time I ever had to have a colonoscopy. I was very nervous. Didn't know what to expect. Just things that you watch on YouTube from the time. I was there only had a wait a couple minutes before I was in the room. They are very nice staff there. Doctors stood real good care of me and I even got a nice warm blanket. Dr. Sharma was very nice. Took real good care of me. I was in and out less than 20 minutes and honestly, I did not feel any pain whatsoever. How surprised how fast everything went and I give him a five star after it was thrill he comes out and greet you and shake your hand and then you're off and you're ready to go home. Thanks a lot nice staff also I would definitely be going back when it's time for my next visit.

I was referred to Dr. Patrick Troung back in 2022 and had an impressive and thorough interaction. Dr. Truong listened to my concerns and validated my wants. As a result, I had an upper GI completed that went very smoothly. Given the findings, I have returned for follow up as my former gastroenterologist did not impress. Again, Dr. Truong listened and provided solutions to my requests. I emphasize Dr. Truongs thoroughness as many doctors are quick to brush patients off and disregard concerns simply because of "age," I am 34, or lack of symptoms. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Dr. Troung if simply wanting to learn more about your concerns or for procedural purposes.

Terrence Langlois

The staff is so considerate and kind! Dr. Sharma is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Very thorough with both procedures and follow-up. If I could give higher tha a 10 I would. Highly recommended!!!

This was my second visit to Citrus Valley Gastroenterology. Dr Sharma and his team are wonderful. The front office staff always make you feel so welcome when you arrive and check in. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and his back office staff are comforting and supportive. Dr Sharma always takes the time to make you feel comfortable and listens to your questions and concerns. Couldn't be more happy with my experiences.

Dr Wu was very kind and helpful. All of the office staff were friendly. The medical assistant was a young man and I'm sorry I don't remember his name but he was very nice and quick as well. They were helpful with processing lab slips as well.

jardine D

Tina is the best! She will do all she can to accommodate requests as appropriate. Very pleasant, cordial, respectful, and very personable. She arranges for samples and work with insurances to get lowered Rx med cost. You will love going there with Dr Truong because of this lady. Dr Truong explains in details the results, plan of care, and makes me feel really cared for. I recommend going there, because of these 2 make a difference. The front desk team as well, I arrived 5 mins early and i was called into the room immediately without even waiting. They let me wait inside for privacy. They are all very prompt and professional.

Zaira G

Citrus Valley Gastro has very professional staff. The people who check you in, like Johanna are very knowledgeable and make sure you are taken care of. The doctors are sure to take all my concerns seriously and give me recommendations accordingly.

Zandra A

If you are looking for a GOOD GI team. This is it you found it. Very thorough and informative.. both the doctor (s) and their assistant or secretary not sure Megan's title but she was awesome. She followed up and searched what was needed on the spot. Everyone from the moment you check in to the nurse that takes your vitals , doctor and check out with Megan. So happy. Wish they accepted my insurance. Lucky enough to start my treatment with this office l. I started bring my son here. Medically challenged and Dr. Wu listens, and very informative. Thank you all for an amazing experience. Going on over 5 visits and they all have been a great experience.

Eddie Martinez

Dr. Wu is an excellent doctor. She is professional, caring, and took the time to listen to my concerns. The office was very efficient, and I was seen promptly and in and out much faster than I expected. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the entire visit was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Wu to anyone looking for outstanding medical care.

Sheil Dominguez

I have to give the medical office a AAA+, for reminding their patients about their appointments! I had an unexpected hour wait, but Dr. Saghir is well worth it!! Not only is he on top of my health, he appears to genuinely be concerned for my questions and input. I trust all of his recommendations that help me live a healthier life. His staff is also super nice and very personable.

5 stars for all of my visits and would totally recommend him to those who need his specialty.

Gregory M

I received superior service in every category. I usually like to cite specific individuals who have provided outstanding service. However, since EVERY person with whom I interacted during my entire treatment was truly top tier, that list of names would be very long. The professionalism, courtesy, efficiency, expediency and all around friendliness of each person who facilitated my procedure far exceeded my hopes and expectations. I highly recommend this medical group to anyone seeking this type of specialty medical group.

At the physician level, I was very fortunate to receive the services of Dr. Snyder. He genuinely cares for his patients. He listened to and addressed each of my many concerns. In addition, he went far above-and-beyond to accommodate the specific needs and personal concerns of my reason for treatment. It is so comforting to be in the care of such a knowledgeable, capable and caring specialist.

Jesus Tequierez

Dr. Arora was great with my father. He spoke to him in Spanish and was thorough, knowledgeable, and attentive to his health issues. He was able to schedule necessary tests for my father in a timely manner prior to his surgery with another doctor. My father was very pleased and satisfied with the care he received from Dr. Arora

Shriley Criner

Tom Ka

Extremely satisfied. From the excellent nursing staff to the physician, it has been a very good experience. Highly recommend.

Ginny Ray

I’ve been seeing Dr. Arora since he was a newbie. He’s a great doctor and explains everything in layman’s language. He’s always very pleasant. I’m glad he’s young enough not to retire and I’d have to look for another doctor. He’s the best!

Virginia Luna

I love Dr. SIDHOM.I have been his patient since 2004

Angela Alarid

Dr. Patrick Truong is a great GI doctor who takes the time to hear your concerns, helps find real solutions for your lifestyle. Thank you so much to him and his nurse who helped me get my meds and even provided samples!

Betty Taylor

Dr Truong’s front office gals are quick and efficient in checking you in. I only waited admit 4-5 minutes before going in to the exam room. Within 5 minutes Dr Truong was in there to see me. He’s very thorough and has a calming demeanor. I love that he took the time to listen to my problems and had suggestions on exams and treatments I need. I left there with peace of mind regarding my health issues.

Robert Aye
