Bechara H. Mezher, MD - Tucson, Arizona

Pastor Michael Malone

Referred here due to being anemic. Doctor was spot on, assured me it was probably related to having gastric bypass surgery 15 years ago. Had the endoscopy and they found nothing. Good office staff. I’ll come back in a year or so for routine colonoscopy.

Dr. Mehzer is incredible. He came to my rescue when I ended up in the emergency room. I had a gallstone in bile duct that has been causing me so much pain for so many months. I’m still bouncing back but I have never felt better! I am forever grateful.

Where do I begin?

I came here because I saw a good review and I was wrong.
From the front office you’re looked at like you’re not wanted there. You’re greeted with attitude and minimal eye contact. Then they resume to their weekend gossip and ghetto music about sex. Yes, I heard your stories about your weekend.
Please, don’t do that. If you were a patient feeling unwell it doesn’t not look right to be given flat greeting expression then resume to your conversation and laughing. Patients are the reason you have a job. And your job is suppose to help people with compassion.

When I came here as a patient I felt very rushed. There was minimal eye contact by Dr. Mezher.
Its like he wanted to treat every symptom with medication as opposed to listening to everything I’m experiencing and trying to find the cause of my symptoms.
It was just medication after medication after medication.
I was scoped the following week on a Monday . I experienced substernal pain the next day on a Tuesday and mid back pain after the procedure. It was constantly there and it hurt to eat and swallow food.
The home care paper specifies in the paper if you have this “PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR DOCTOR” I called the front office and the medical assistant said she would “pass the message” to the doctor.
I asked if I could speak with the registered nurse she said, “she’s busy in a procedure right now.” Mind you I was told I can speak to a nurse at ANY time I had concerns.
Well I didn’t hear back Tuesday nor Wednesday. I was concerned with my esophagus being perforated/ injured during scope. I’m a nurse my self and I consulted with my other colleagues who have experience in this with EGD and also physician at my work which recommended me to follow up with the Dr. Mezher ASAP.
I decided to call after work on Thursday morning to speak with a nurse and the receptionist said “she’s busy in a procedure.” .

I left work Thursday and went in person and Demanded at the front desk to see a nurse. The young lady finally got up and went to get a nurse. I spoke with the nurse and told me she’s always available and unsure why she (receptionist) couldn’t notify her of my calls.
The nurse was very kind to me and listened to me both times I went there
Here’s a little advice *IM LUCKY I HAVE COLLEGUES IN THE MEDICAL WORLD BECAUSE I CAN CONSULT THEM FOR ADVICE** however, give a more severe situation to a parient with little medical knowledge and this office is waiting to be SUED if there are symptoms that aren’t being addressed appropriately in a timely manner.

These receptionist aren’t trained nor have medical knowledge to triage patients. Please don’t. I suggest appropriately training them to ask appropriate question OR GIVE THEM DARN PHONE TO A TRAINED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL like a nurse or MD. It’s no disrespect it’s just difference in job title and training.

Secondly, he was on call that weekend and I was notified to call if the remedy wasn’t helping my vomiting.j had been taking my medication religiously as ordered. I called and it took TWO hours for Dr. Mezher to call me back while he was on call. I had to leave work because I was not called in a timely manner. I can’t work taking care of patients while running out of their rooms to vomit. I had no relief from 7pm-11pm.

It was ridiculous.

He called back 10pm after calling three time with 30 minute wait interval since 8pm. Well few days later I kept having emesis episodes. I called him again and he NEVER responded.

I switched providers and I’m glad I did.

This place is waiting to be sued. You’ll be just another dollar sign to them.
Never come here if you want professional and compassionate help.

My name is Carol West my birthday is 07/28/1 I had a colonoscopy and a endoscopy by Dr Mehzler and he didn’t really do a very thorough job because I have ulcerative colitis my whole life he said he didn’t show it also diviculitis and polyps in my rectum I don’t feel that he did a very good job of doing it or reading it because every other colonoscopy and an endoscopyI have had with Dr gottlieb have shown different results and I do have chronic diarrhea and other issues including a paraesophigal hernia and my food doesn’t digest due to a digestive enzyme deficiency. I have family Members with ulcerative colitis Barrett’s esophagus And a sister that passed away with Crohn’s disease and another niece with Crohn’s disease I’m sorry but I’m not buying your results of my test
