“Wholeheartedly I recommend Dr. Ritu Nahar, who is a caring and thoughtful doctor with good knowledge and treatment advice. She has been great with all my visits, patiently answering questions and addressing concerns.
However she deserves a better admin team to support this practice. Minus star rating for the unprofessional front desk staff. They are impolite and careless in billing process. A wrong billed amount is sent to me without explanations and they even did not want to listen to me. They rudely asked me to call insurance company for coordination of benefits. I am like what? I only have one insurance? What is there to coordinate?
It turned out they wrongfully billed to my old insurance, though my new insurance card provided to them and saved in the system.
This is VERY unacceptable!”

My experience with Dr. Nahar was wonderful. She was very exact on what was going on and provided remedies to ressolve my issues. Additionally the staff was very nice and I did not have to wait too long since all my paperwork could be filled out prior to the appointment.

The physician provided excellent care and was very attentive. However, the supporting staff (specifically the technician/nurse who took vitals and provided procedure instructions) was curt and showed a clear lack of patience. Despite my efforts to be pleasant, the interaction felt rushed and impersonal.

I was very displeased with the wait time. My appointment was scheduled for 2:15 pm. I had another appointment at 4 pm to make to. Only after I expressed my displeasure about their wait time and concern about getting delayed about my 4 pm appointment and charges if I got delayed, I was taken in at 2:55 pm. I was seen around 3:15 pm and I was able to make it back for 4 pm. I cut it close to my 4 pm.
October 21, 2025Sona S.Verified patient
Dr. Nahar was wonderful to talk to and listened to my history of the problem. It was a two-way conversation which I appreciated very much.

This provider and the entire staff was very professional and friendly. I was able to be seen in a timely manner after searching for a Gastroenterologist on the internet. The office sent reminders and forms sent ahead of time to speed up the wait time and registration process. The doctor was excellent in her communication, knowledge, and recommended next steps. I would highly recommend this practice.
July 24, 2025Maria S.Verified patient
My experience was very pleasant the staff was very pleasant. Waiting time was short and the doctor was very attentive, informative and empathetic with my mom. I was pleased with how the doctor assured my mom for her up coming exams. Would definitely recommend my friends and family to this doctor.
July 17, 2025Gladys V.Verified patient
Great doctor. Very clear guidance and instructions for treatment. I am happy with her service. The only hiccup is that the office says they never receive pre-appointment registration forms. I filled them out on zocdoc and twice on doctor’s website.

Dr. Ritu N. Was truly kind. Knowledgeable of my issue.
Took the time to examine me and then explain ways to resolve.
Have a follow up visit to see if resolved or if further treatment is necessary.
Thanks Dr. Ritu N!!!

Had a great experience with Dr Nahar, can't say enough good things about Dr. Nahar and the incredible staff at the clinic. From the moment I walked in, the nurses and staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Their professionalism and kindness turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something I’m more than willing to do again for preventive care.
Dr. Nahar’s expertise and reassuring demeanor made the procedure seamless and stress-free. I truly felt cared for every step of the way. If you’re looking for top-notch gastroenterology care, I highly recommend Dr. Nahar and his amazing team!
