Dr. Das was fantastic. I came in with a worrying liver test and he patiently explained what it meant, the next steps, and how we could manage things going forward. I never felt rushed, and his team at DLDC were professional and caring. So glad I chose this practice.
Great visit with Dr. Das — he’s clearly experienced in digestive and liver problems. I had been dealing with chronic bloating for months and after one appointment with him, I already feel better. His follow‑up and communication made all the difference.
Dr. Das made a potentially scary situation feel manageable. He calmly walked me through my imaging results, what they meant, and laid out a clear plan. The office staff was friendly and efficient, which helped a lot.
Excellent care from Dr. Das. He listened, answered all my questions about my liver function and diet changes, and didn’t make me feel like I was “just another appointment.” A very human and professional experience.
After years of seeing doctors who just prescribed meds, Dr. Das took a deeper look, recommended some lifestyle changes, and has helped me improve significantly. Highly recommend him at DLDC.
