  • Totally impressed by this entire practice. I'm retired from a trauma center and I was watching everything. Had initial visit, a procedure and follow up. This physician and his staff know their stuff and they really care. At my follow up appointment Dr Waraich looked me in the eye and asked me if I was satisfied with my care. I was blown away! To find expertise and compassion in the same office is a rare find.

  • I have been a patient of Dr. Waraich since 2014 and now that I’m moving away I’m sad I will have to find another gastro. His practice has the most helpful employees, both in the front and back and for procedures like colonoscopy as well. I felt at ease because I was in professional hands. Great knowledge and care.
