MD Anderson Gastrointestinal Center — Local services in Houston

(Crossposted from Jaffer Ajani’s review)

He and his office were unresponsive many times when we needed something done. He kept delaying my dad’s chemotherapy treatment many times after the fact that he wanted to go on it because it was better than nothing (he had a weight issue but it was near impossible for him to gain weight since people in my family don’t easily gain weight) I would highly not recommend Ajani as he puts off many thing that we needed to do to get my dad treated.

He refused to take some of my dad’s condition seriously and caused him a lot of pain as a result (collapsed lung, pneumonia, fast heart rate and heaved breathing.) We got the diagnosis while we were abroad and came back to the states with CT scans, and endoscopy results and we gave it to MD Anderson so they know the situation and could treat him faster. But Ajani and MD Anderson kept wanting to do their own test and waste so much of my dads short life with nothing to show for it. The cancer that was originally in the esophagus has spread to the liver because of their delays and by the time we found out he had liver cancer, it was already too late. Now my dad passed away because of his many delays and unwillingness to put my dad on treatments for near 6 months and at the end my dad looked nothing like how he was before his treatments and suffered terribly because of Ajani...

Avoid Dr. Yu. Do your research & request an experienced oncologist with good patient reviews. Someone who is very good at what they do, who truly cares for their patients as a whole individual. Don't settle. MD Anderson has amazing research, the best medicine and testing- but NOT all doctors are great. Dr. Holliday was AMAZING. She's a radiation oncologist. If you or your loved one needs radiation, I highly...

Do not see this Dr. Christine M Parseghian. First, I was initially told after surgery, "I guarantee nothing will be in your scan", well there was. Second, when my white blood cells dropped I had to receive a shot ever time after my last chemo which turned out to be not true. Lastly, she refused to see me because of a skin infection. If cancer wasn't...
