Top of the line service and care. Exceptional staff!

Dr. Rustagi is very thorough and takes a lot of time with patients and very much listens to what is going on. The Children's GI as a whole is very quick to recommend Miralax and not think of alternatives. When I was struggling before I got in front of Dr. Rustagi, I would have really appreciated someone taking the time to listen and think of alternatives for my daughter other than Miralax when it wasn't working for us.

She was very nice and she asked a lot of very important questions to my daughter and I really loved it. We talked for about an hour, so it was a really good appointment. She's really nice.
