“He is kind and clear. The most important part that I wanna stress is… He knows what he’s talking about. If you need a doctor to actually diagnose you and not just hand you medicine, if you need a doctor to try to find the root cause, and if you need a doctor who doesn’t just stick with what was the best knowledge 20 years ago - this is the right guy for you. He’s smart and updated and knows what he’s talking about.”

Dr. Eshaghian was unprofessional and creepy
Dr. Eshaghian was, without a doubt, the best office visit I've had with a doctor in YEARS. I was dreading this appointment and not only did I feel heard but he talked to me like a human who understood me as a human and was able to address my concerns with valuable insight. Wish that wasn't such a rarity but I'm floored by how well I was treated (including by his staff!). Thanks again!

This was one of the best experiences with a doctor I have had! Dr. Eshaghian listened to my concerns and was very personable. I was treated with respect and understanding.

First appointment and I highly recommend this office and doctor. No complaints about any of the process and a lot of positives. Great friendly staff, very short wait, very kind and great communication from Dr Eshaghian.
Dr. E is very thorough and collaborative. He actively listens to your concerns & works with you to make sure you feel comfortable with the plan of care. It’s one of the few times I feel like I’ve been taken seriously by a doctor. I received wonderful care & would definitely recommend!
Verified patient
Absolutely first class! Everything was exactly as I would want it - nice office, prompt, courteous, kind and highly informative. 10/10 recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Eshaghian listened to all of my concerns, and asked questions to better understand what was going on. I didn't have a list of issues, my problem was more vague, but has persisted for months which prompted me to go see him. He was very thorough in wanting to eliminate potential concerns through testing. I am sure many Dr's would brush me off and tell me that "bodies change as you get older." That maybe true, but I also know four people who died of stomach/colon cancer in the past two years with practically no warning. So, I was very thankful that he wants to really get a good idea of what is happening because I really do think something (and it might be as simple as Crohn's) is happening, and I need to find out what it is. I can sleep better for now knowing that I have tests scheduled.
Verified patient
The staff was super friendly and helpful with insurance stuff. Dr. Eshaghian was really helpful. He listened, was attentive, and gave me options for a treatment plan. I highly recommend!
Verified patient
Had a great time with Dr Daniel and the office of UMD! I changed my appointment a few days prior on Zocdoc, and it didn’t pop up in their computer. However, Christine, who was the only one in the entire office to that day due to previous circumstances, accommodated me and squeezed me in. This was beyond appreciated. Dr Daniel is both informative and patient. On top of that, I felt very comfortable with him and appreciated his personable bedside manner. Amazing GI doc, totally recommend!

The doctor was great and patient with answering all of my questions. Did not feel rushed. Kind and honest - seemed very knowledgable about his field and gave me his opinion on past diagnoses I had that in hindsight made sense.
