• I was referred to SHED by my local GI. I chose Dr. Nath based on her training and patient reviews. She was everything I expected and more and I am so glad to now be in her care. PS The only reason she didn't have all the information she needed about my medical history is because it is in multiple places as a result of hospital mergers/acquisitions and failure of integrated systems. When I offered to send her information from access to my portals, she responded, "No, let me do the work." I was extraordinarily impressed by this, by her genuineness (if that is a word), compassion, thoughtfulness, and compassion. She was very much worth the wait to see her.

• She compared my current endoscopy results to those reported by a NYC doctor and said I do not have Barrett's Esophagus which was reported by the NY doctor. She explained probably why the other doctor's report was different. Certainly it is important to know I don't have that disorder nor metaplasia which was reported.

  2025-11-23

• This was my very first visit with Dr. Nath. So while she didn't have any of my medical history at the start of our visit, she took a very thorough history from me and spent ample time learning my history to understand why I was establishing care. I told her I had never felt so heard and seen by a doctor, because she spent so much time with me, wanting to help dig into what could be causing my symptoms, and try to make sure we weren't recreating any previous attempts to address the symptoms. She was more thorough than any doctor I have ever seen, and I am very excited to continue working with her to hopefully finally find relief for my issues.

• I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Nath as my gastroenteriologist. She listens,she is empathetic and a brilliant doctor..always worth waiting for .There is never a question unanswered and I trust her implicitly

  2025-11-03

• Dr. Nath listened to me and took my concerns and updates seriously. She was never dismissive of anything I had to say. She gave me all the time I needed, which was greatly appreciated. I wasn't able to book an appointment in the timeframe she requested because there were no open spots in her schedule, even for my virtual appointment. MGB could do better by not overfilling provider's caseloads and putting a hold on new patients until that provider meets a certain threshold of open appointments per week/month. MGB could hire more providers in order to accommodate new patients and get them seen in a timely manner. Current patients should not have to wait extended times between appointments, beyond what a provider requests. New patients should be able to see a provider in a timely manner as well. You can do better MGB, you are one of the top healthcare providers in the country and in the world. Your patients deserve the most innovative & comprehensive care; that includes their healthcare coordination.
