"Dr. Vainder always takes time to check in with ME as a person, listens and responds carefully to all my questions and concerns. He has kept my ulcerative colitis in check for 30 years!"
— WebMD Care Review"I will never go to this doctor again. Arrogant, condescending, and horrible bedside manner. Don't think about asking questions."
— Vitals Review"Dr. Bajaj performed two colonoscopies on me and failed both times to inform me of a condition that would eventually land me in the hospital... He is more concerned with performing 10-12 procedures a day than the health of his patients."
