SIMON RITCHKEN, MD REVIEWS
He “DR. Simon M. Ritchken “is one of the best specialists and in addition, he provides conditions of peace of mind for the patient. His behavior is friendly and he talks to the patient in a happy mood. He explains the problem and the type of illness to the patient in a complete and understandable way. He assures the patient that he will do his best to solve his problem. When I was in his office, I forgot all my problems. In one sentence, "He is perfect."
I had my 1st colonoscopy a week ago & it was as good an experience as one can have. I highly recommend Dr. Ritchken " On time, friendly and very experienced." He assures the patient that he will do his best to solve his problem."and The best doctor ever! He is so focused, kind, funny, and friendly.

VIJAYALAKSHMI PRATHA, MD REVIEWS
I am all about integrative medicine with holistic being first. Dr. Pratha is intuitive and very knowledgeable about gut health which is the largest part of the immune system. Being a kidney transplant patient, I have many challenges because of the anti rejection meds I have to take which raises havoc on my upper GI health. I am confident that Dr. Pratha will keep helping me to keep on top of it especially with herbal medicine. She is kind with a wonderful bedside manner and listens. I have referred my voice students to her who have gut problems or acid reflux. She is a really good doctor!
She’s Amazing!!!! So very grateful I found her! She’s one of a kind. Caring, helpful, listens and gives you the time, attention and treatment you need. Not many doctors like her anymore, the staff is great as well. Love the fact that she treats and practices Holistic Medicine before Western Medicine (of course everyone is different so Tx may vary). I highly recommend her!! I did to all my family and friends!!
Excellent GI doc. Dr. Pratha cares about her patients. She is always present, clear and helpful in her guidance. I highly recommend Dr. Pratha, we need more doctors like her(Great staff at her office too)!

KISHORE GADDIPATI, MD, FACP, FACG - SAN DIEGO GASTROENTEROLOGY REVIEWS
Dr. Gaddipati is fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the latest research, takes time to explain everything. It turned out I needed a different type of procedure from what he does, yet he made phone calls on my behalf, conferring with other doctors, calling me personally to give me all the information - just the best care I could ever hope for.
Dr. Gaddipati is a San Diego gastroenterologist with a commanding knowledge base of all gastroenterology disorders; proficient in colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures, and adept at teaching.
Dr. G has been a lifesaver for me. I had 5 ERCP b4 being sent to him. He found the problem & he spends time & has a wonderful bedside manner. Would not ever go elsewhere. He cares about all of his patients & is a terrific surgeon. Wonderful Doctor!
