We absolutely love Dr Rustagi. She actually takes her time and listens to you. As a patient and someone who works in the medical field she is very rare and very appreciated. My only complaint is she's in specialty and not a pcp because I have so much trust in her I want my daughter to see her for primary care needs not just gastrointestinal.

Dr.Rustagi is the best. Very personable and knowledgeable about everything that I have concerns with.

The only feedback I have regarding her is she is not responsive on MyChart. I had a message in there from February, and then she saw that she had missed it when we were at the appointment and then addressed that. So, we had to wait almost 2 months for results on an X-ray, is what the results we were waiting on.
