Dr. Rustagi is an awesome G.I. doctor & has seen my son for for YEARS!!! She's very kind, patient, thorough, finds what's best for your child, open minded & friendly. She even listens to suggestions I may have to see if certain things may work. I would definitely recommend her to anyone...

Dr Rustagi was amazing and so was the nurse. I have never had a doctor spend so much time investigating my child's problem and then giving thorough easy to understand answers. Well worth the drive from Cincinnati
