excellent gastroenterologist !
very nice and professional
Wonderful provider. I feel very safe and secure in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. Cannot say enough good about her.
P.s. the questions on this questionnaire are confusing—the ones about her asking me to tell her …. Not sure how to answer them. We did go over my treatment plan and next steps, if that is what was meant by those questions.
She seems to be a very good doctor. She understood my situation and has asked me to follow up with her to let her know how I am doing with the medication she prescribed.

Me sentà con confianza al decirle mis problemas y senti que me dió tiempo para explicar bien
Very helpful and understanding of my condtion
Dr. Neshatian seems very knowledgeable and caring. In person visits have always gone well. This was my first attempt at a video visit.
Leila has great bedside manner and did a very thorough job of explaining in detail her thoughts.
Dr. Neshatian is very kind, understanding, and listens to all my requests and concerns. Suggested next step in therapy and diagnostic procedure. Communication with her office was great. They called just fee minutes before to confirm that they are on time. That was really great as I work in surgery and it's difficult to leave at a certain time or extend my break if the office would run late.
She was very attentive, knowledgeable, also honest.
Concerned, cheerful, interested in patient’s well being
She is an extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and attentive Dr.. I feel confident in her care.
It can be challenging to get questions thoughtfully answered via the messaging portal between visits.
Overall, I believe she provides excellent care.
Everyone from the receptionist, the medical assistant and the doctor all made me feel comfortable, and that I was a person not a number or $. I also felt very well taken care of and that the doctor had a lot of compassion for my situation and is willing to help me get better. The medical assistance were also incredibly kind and they actually made eye contact with you which for me is very important to feel like I matter when I’m in a doctor appointment. I was a medical assistant for 30 years and it was always my goal to let the patient know that they matter, and everyone that helped me yesterday made me feel like I matter job well done thank you.
Dr. Neshatian was patient, empathetic, and very knowledgeable about the more arcane aspects of the problems which have beset me. I was most impressed at her ability to “think out of the box†and to suggest solutions that no one had posited before. And without being patronising in any way, she has given me hope. For that I am exceedingly thankful.
Excellent doctor listens and answered questions and explained my condition
Thank you.
Leila Neshatian was wonderful and professional. It was a little difficult to hear her at first, but that cleared up. I also felt a little rushed during the visit, but her advice was very good and most importantly she wanted to explore a solution I hadn't considered yet. Thank you
I am glad I am working with Leila Neshatian & her staff. Leila is very pleasant & easy to talk to. She has a calming effect on me & listens to me when I am trying to explain things. I felt like I already knew her the first time we communicated. She told me that she will continue to help me & she thinks that I will probably heal & be back to myself again, as long as I follow the plan, meaning trying to help myself, doing my exercises & staying focused on what is supposed to be done daily. She also told me that if I had any problems or concerns that I can contact she & her staff. That put me at ease & made me feel like I am not alone in this effort to be well again & get back to who I was before I got sick.
I have seen two physicians regarding my issue. Although they have been helpful, Dr. Neshatian has given me helpful knowledge on the issue.
She provided me hope that she can help resolve
My issues.
I feel for the first time in a long time I was actually heard about my symptoms and I didn't end the visit feeling I didn't have answers like I usually do. I felt she gave me answers and options and to repeat test I've had in the past to compare to where I am at now and to touch base after that which made me feel she took my symptoms that are affecting me and my quality of life seriously.
had a very good visit. Doctor was patient, listened to my concerns, outlined next steps

Good.
Dr. Neshatian is second to none, and I am so overjoyed, to have her, as my pelvic doctor. I have answers because of her, and she is very illustrious with her care for patients.
Doctor was a new face. Considering a visit to this clinic is usually somewhat embarrassing - she was professional, nice and put out just the right amount of profess/familiar demeanor. Positive about my care.
Dr. Neshatian always cheerful on exam, explains need for certain procedures she is recommending and alternatives. Prompt in TC to explain results & next steps...
Dr. Neshatian is the absolute best.
Explained her concerns and conditions she found. LIstened very well to my concerns and worked. Awesome personality.
She was very concerned about my condition and went above and beyond to try to solve my problem.
As a retired anesthesiologist, I have been around healthcare for much of my life. Dr. Neshatian is an outstanding physician by any criteria. I feel fortunate to be under her excellent care.
Dr. Neshatian is always friendly and very professional. She is an excellent provider and does her best to do everything she can to help me. I appreciate that she takes the time to listen to my concerns and comes up with a plan to address them.
Didn't feel like took the time to understand situation. Made immediate assumptions based on two lines in the patient form. Made some suggestions that seemingly came out of nowhere. Had to ask questions about items that should have been explained. Disappointing compared to my normal GI.
Good attention.
She was great! Very pleasant and understanding. She made me comfortable and that I was in good hand. Very satisfied and impressed with the care I received.
Great care and too much professionalism. Dr. Leila is amazing. I just have no words to describe her. Just had my colonoscopy today and everything was absolutely fine.
I left with no questions, and a clear plan for follow up. I didn't feel the doctor was in a rush, and she took me very seriously.
Dr Neshatian is the very best
All care providers should be like these people!
I have always good experience with doctor.
Very kind and professional, but seemed a little rushed. Perhaps overworked? I had to slow our conversation down a bit to ensure I understood what, exactly, was my health problem. But, again, no major complaints at all.
assuming care provider is the doctor, she is very good.
I feel that Dr. Neshatian has improved greatly in the area of covering all topics that a patient wants to discuss. Dr. Neshatian anticipated my next question. It was the best visit with her that I have experienced to date.
I trust her implicitly. She is brilliant, insightful and informative.
I really like Dr. Neshatian, she is very kind and listens. However, I feel as though she doesn't really offer any answers or options in helping me. I do not feel confident about her diagnosis and expertise.
Dr. Neshatian is an excellent provider. She is very kind, respectful and always explains things in a manner that I can understands. She is an excellent listener and includes my opinions in any decision making when it comes to my health. I really appreciate how much she as helped me with my digestive health.
Dr. Neshatian has very kindly called me to discuss follow up care, and I have returned her call, but we haven't managed to connect yet. I am sure we will soon.
I can't say enough about Dr. Neshatian's ability to help me relax, as well as encouraging me to continue on a path of recovery. She's the best.
There are insufficient superlatives to describe Dr. Neshatian. She is successfully relieving a problem that has been unresolved for 30 years!
I have hope for the first time in over a year
Well I think it was an excellent visit considering the nature of the visit.
The technician, Garrett, was excellent. He was very informative and reassuring about the procedure. He walked me through every step, with careful instructions and compassion. He made the entire experience as comfortable as it could be.
Very good.
I trust dr. Nashatian-she listens and addresses my concerns and questions and at the same time makes her reasons for her treatment recommendations very clear. she shares her concerns a out my health and is able to be appropriately firm without her recommendations.
Exceptional experience at Stanford.

Fantastic physician & very kind, caring. Has helped with my very complicated digestive issues to a great degree.
Excellent.
Refreshing experience with a doctor.
