I have had two colonoscopies performed by Dr. Tiriveedhi and both times she talked with my husband and I about the results and had suggestions for diet. I have been pleased with my treatment.

She is not interested in finding cause of problem. Just wants to scope you and get paid. Send you packing with a script.

Initial visit for severe GI issues, including two hospitalizations, went fairly well. Staff nearly forgot to order/run tests until nearly walking out the door. FIFTEEN days later and we are STILL waiting for a prescription. Insurance didn't cover the first two meds, but insurance provided Dr. a list of accepted prescriptions. My pleas for help: RN (Lisa, Shannon) we are doing everything we can - putting a note in her inbox and she hung up on me disagreeing that isn't everything.

I was told by Tiriveedhi that I would be tested for celiac disease. Mercy hospital lab confirmed the test was $34.00. I received a bill in the mail for $800.00 that my insurance would not pay due to the high cost. She ordered a genetic testing and told me celiac. She never told me she would order his expensive test nor asked. According to my new GI Dr and everything on line that has been researched no Drs start with this test but a simple $34.00 test. She neglects and in it for the money

I have a family history of colon cancer and diverticulitis. I went in with severe RUQ pain, recurring constipation and lower belly pain. She did an upper endoscopy and said there's nothing wrong. During my follow up (2 weeks later) she diagnosed me as having IBS. Now, I feel that with my family history, more should've been done. Supposed to see her again in 6 weeks but I think a 2nd opinion instead. All she did was put me on a $100+ laxative that I can't afford. No cure for IBS, but is it IBS?

Nice enough, but not particularly personable. MORE IMPORTANTLY: she doesn't listen very well. She's one of those Dr's who does more talking than listening. Scheduling staff messed up my first appointment which worked in my favor, but had to wait 2 weeks for a follow up after an upper endoscopy (left before I even woke up, no explanations) and it sounds like it's not going anywhere if talking to the nurse is any indication. No clue why I'm in daily pain, w/ family history of GI problems & PCOS

Dr. T is nice but when I needed to get in for a sick visit I was put off several weeks, then had to wait 3 weeks to get 2 procedures done. Could only do 1 and was told to reschedule the 2nd one asap. (Told earliest was 2.5 wks.). I was so sick I tried to contact again with phone and Mymercy site. When I finally got a response 3 days later I was told to postpone 2nd test for 6 months (why?) and she couldn't be contacted until next week.(no treatment orders were given).
