Kashyap Trivedi, MD

Dr. Trevedi was referred to me by my awesome primary physician (Dr. Shen). Coincidently he came highly recommended by the best OB/​GYN Dr. Endo. Two best doctors in LB recommended him. How can you go wrong? Well, you can’t.
He was super thorough and very knowledgeable. He checked off all the items on the list carefully while diagnosing the source of my pain. He is very approachable and easy to talk to (which is a huge plus!). Even calmed my nerves with his compassion during my Colonoscopy.
I’ll hope I won’t need him for a while, but if I do I know who to see. Thanks for your wonderful service Doc!

I have been a patient of Dr. Trivedi’s for a few years now, referred to me by my family doctor, he is very thorough and explains things so you completely understand. The office staff is so friendly and got me in quickly. Thank you, Dr. Trivedi…

I have been a patient of Hertz and associates for the past 10 years. I started seeing Dr. Trivedi in 2012 after I had a really bad flare up and Dr. Hertz was out (separate review for Dr. Hertz). Great doctor always accurate on recommended treatments, office staff are always welcoming and available to help you with any concerns. Dr. Trivedi has a great sense of humor and a great attitude that makes you trust him, he will go above and beyond to find the best care available and refer you to his colleagues for any other health issues to make sure it does not affect the issue you are seeing him for. I highly recommend Dr. Trivedi!

Best experience possible, both him and his staff make the whole healthcare experience feel human and professional.

I went to Dr. Trivedi during the Summer of 2014 and have had checkups since then. He was incredibly accommodating when I was going through my stomach issues. Dr. Trivedi was prompt and got me my biopsies within a short time frame. I was visiting home for a few months and needed to have it done by the end of the Summer. Even afterwards he made contact with me by calling and emailing me through the portal. He is very compassionate and understanding. I even recommended that my father go to him. This doctor has been the only one to get him to do his colonoscopy. Says a lot to me.

Dr. Trivedi helped me so much during a very difficult time in my life. He listens and takes a very pro-​active approach and has your best interest at heart. He is by far the best Gastro specialist I have ever seen. I definitely recommend him and I will be sending my entire family to see him.

My husband and I were both patients of Dr. Trivedi. He helped us both back to good health. Recently my husband had a very severe relapse. Unfortunately we had recently changed insurance plans and he is not an option under our new plan. When our primary care Dr. Called Dr. Trivedi for treatment advice he did not hesitate to consult with her. True dedication to his profession and real care for his patients. I can’t think of better qualities for any Dr. To posses. Janie and Nick K.

Dr Trivedi is by far the best gastroenterologist! I am finally writing this review after I realized on my last visit the doctor mistakenly thought I had been the Barbara C who wrote a wonderful review. Thanks Barbara for pushing me to to writing this review. Dr. Trivedi is the best and most competent Dr I had in my 34 years, since my diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. I have seen many doctors mediocre to terrible. No one compares with his detailed approach and wonderful bedside manner. There are still doctors that have a compassionate approach! I have only seen him for 9 months but his excellent diagnostic approach have helping me stabilize my condition and begin to become pain free. It’s an arduous task but having the right doctor makes all the difference. I would highly recommend him for your GI needs.

Dr. Kashyap Trivedi is absolutely amazing…
My story begins with two ER visits for my mom then admittance to the Los Alamitos Medical Center. She was having a severe diverticulitis attack. She had actually let it go for too long before taking antibiotics. She did not have a GI doctor here in CA and while in the hospital she was fortunate enough to be assigned to Dr. Trivedi. He came in, assessed her condition and went over CT scans and blood work and determined she should be on a heavy course of IV antibiotics. Three days later she was feeling great and wanted to get out. Dr. Trivedi wasn’t completely sold on the idea of her leaving but knocked on wood and let her on her way. She ended up developing gastritis and was having severe upper GI pain and nausea from the oral antibiotics so I had to bring her back into the ER. The ER doctors and nurses said she should go home and resume the meds and deal with the pain but Dr. Trivedi said to admit her again so that she could finish the course of IV antibiotics and get an upper endoscopy to check out her tummy. Back in she went, finished the course of IV antibiotics, got some polyps removed from stomach, improved her gastritis and was released again and doing fantastic today.
Dr. Trivedi treated us all so well and spent so much time explaining everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and we have absolute trust in him. My mom (and the rest of the family) will all be going to Dr. Trivedi for our GI issues; we highly recommend him!

Super awesome doctor and staff. They really seem to care, taking the time to ask me a lot questions about my symptoms. They seem determined to really figure out what’s wrong as opposed to other doctors I’ve been too where I’m in and out in 5 minutes with a prescription in my hand.

I give Dr. Trivedi and his staff 5 stars, and have recommended him to three of my clients already!
First off, I have no clue how anyone would rate Dr. Trivedi honestly and completely with only one star. Seems untrue. I have NEVER (in caps!!) had a Dr. take the time to sit down, read over my info, and look me in the eye while talking to me. He has a nurse in the room doing all the typing so you have his full attention. He took the time to read over all my past info and records, ask me numerous questions (again, more thorough than any Doctor I’ve seen) and gave me the floor to ask as many questions I had. He also respected my concerns and wishes to move forward in more of a naturopathic way when at all possible when most western Doctors would never entertain those «silly» ideas.
Dr. Trivedi is VERY patient, kind, and seemingly cares very much about each of his patients. One of my appointments with him came shortly after a very traumatic family experience– and after he asked how I was doing I burst into tears. He sat down, asked me how he could help, and offered me sound advice based on his own experience in the same matter. Again, I have never ever met a Doctor who cared so much, or even took the TIME to be sincere.
I’ve also never had any issues with his staff. I’ve had two different nurses in his office and both were so friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Can’t say enough positive things!
When Dr. Trivedi «graduated me»… I was sad!
Great doctor! I have, and WILL continue to refer!

Dr. Kash has been my gastroenterologist for the past 4 years. Listens to my concerns, and always mindful to read my body language. I completely trust his medical opinion, and procedures he recommends to keep my tummy fined tuned.
Office staff is very nice, and big shout out to Mary-​RN, she is gem!
I have highly recommended Dr. Kash to my co-​associates at work. He has great bedside manner, and I always get a hug upon leaving

Dr Trivedi is a great Dr that has helped me get the newest speciality drugs with a 90−100% success rate. It targets the specific virus w/​o the normal side affects

Dr. Trivedi, Thank-​you so so so much, As a nurse I took care of everyone except my self. I got so bad that I had given up on doctors in general, long story, I’ll spare everyone the details (what could go wrong did) before I meet Dr. Trivedi I thought I was dying, he was so kind and genuine, he took the time to hear the whole story that had been 5 years of suffering, pain, nausea, GERD, IBS and still more, again I’ll. Spare you the details, I lost 27 pounds of inflammation just in my belly. Thank-​you, Thank-​you
I recommend Dr. Trivedi, I’m a nurse, trust me, Words cannot say how grateful I am for finding a doctors that cares for me and gave me joy again. THANK-​YOU!!!

So, this gastro seemed good, except he spent an hour and a half counseling me that my problem was that I was stressed, exhausted, and neurotransmitter depleted. He refused to do any diagnostic tests because I «didn’t need them».
I ended up having real GI problems that needed treatment and management (I’m not going to say what they were due to privacy).
If I had followed this doctors advice I would have either died or been hospitalized for weight loss and malnutrition.
Update: Upon reading this review, Dr. Trivedi called me. Because I am at Mayo Clinic, and I need specialized care when I get back to California, and he’s my acting gastro, I asked his office for a referral to CPMC, which is an entire clinic specializing in what I need.
During the call he first said he would write me the referral, then told me he had read the review. After I spoke, and he understood I was not going to change my review because patients need to know the good and the bad experiences with medical practitioners, by the end of the conversation he said, contrary to what he first stated, that he would not be writing my referral to a clinic that is referral only and that I desperately need.
*Dr. Trivedi responded to my review, and I’d like to clarify a few things*:
He’s a gastroenterologist. I came to him for GI issues, which I did not have even close to a thorough workup on. The only thing I had was an upper endoscopy, which, after the other gastro saw that it had significant findings, told me I probably «just had the flu and hadn’t eaten for a few days and thats what happened». Needless to say, I felt i needed another gastro. So while I had a workup of a lot of things, I did not have a complete GI workup.
There also was no misunderstanding: he feels I have IBS and visceral hypersensitivity. Neither of those are even close to the primary issues i have, which are caused not by stress and dopamine depletion but by something that has a real cause It’s treatable, and CPMC has the treatments. Unfortunately Dr. Trivedi refused to refer me.
I am also not getting the expertise I need. The expertise I need is at CPMC, which is the place I where I asked for a referral.
I would mainly like to address this statement by Dr. Trivedi: «She did ask me for another referral but I had to decline as she is no longer seeing me as a physician». 1) He started the phone call by saying he would give me a referral. Then he mentioned the review, stating it reflect poorly on his reputation. After he understood I would not be taking the review down, he withdrew his statement that he would refer me and instead said that he would not. To clarify: he _​is_​my acting gastroenterologist. Mayo is short term, and they defer to the physicians you see at home. He is the physician I see at home. Simply because I disapprove of his methods does no mean that he is not actually my physician, and the only one who could refer me. Unfortunately I may have to wait up to 3 months to even get a referral to a gastro who will refer me to CPMC.

Wow! Thank you Unilocalers! Dr. Trivedi is wonderful! Just having moved here from another state, it was crucial for me to find a doctor that I could trust. Dr. Trivedi is down to earth, professional & knowledgeable. He actually LISTENS to your concerns & doesn’t pop in & out, making you feel rushed or forgetting to ask questions in the process. He explains your ailment clearly, concisely and politely… I felt at ease w/​this doctor. It’s like talking to a friend who ‘happens’ to be a doctor. Sara, the assistant is very pleasant & courteous w/​a warm personality & smile! Many doctors & staff could learn their etiquette from this office!!! I’m pleased I found him & would highly recommend Dr. Trivedi for a gastro doctor!

I have a chronic condition that needs constant attention. But when I told the doctor I was sick and needed help I didn’t get that help. I am now in constant pain and have lost 40 pounds in the last 2 and ½ months. It took another Gastroenterologist that I researched (this takes time) to tell me what is going on. This new doctor is now scrambling to find a solution for me if there is one for me this late in the game.
I wish Dr Trivedi told me that he didn’t have time to treat me or he didn’t want to treat me because I was waiting for two months for my chronic condition to be addressed. I don’t know why this happened because I am not a new patient. I just hope now that there is still enough time for my new doctor to make up for lost time and cure my condition.

Took his time, explained everything thoroughly, answered all question, and great bedside manners

helpful, professional,.courteous, friendly staff, all around. the doc seems truly genuine, and made me feel I was his only patient that day. everything explained thoroughly, all questions answered succinctly.
when I sae him again for the procedure, he recognized and said hi in the waiting room. apologized profusely for the wait, and again explained everything.
I hope I never need to go back, but he and the staff took most of the anxiety out of the process.
and the day after the procedure, the office called to see how I was doing!

My doctor recommended Dr. Trivedi, who is a gastroenterologist, when a CT scan showed something unusual in my upper intestinal area. No, it wasn’t a gerbil. It was nothing major but they did want to take a closer look.
Dr. Trivedi takes his time with you and really explains things. He even took time to draw diagrams and explain a procedure he wanted to do on me — an enteroscopy (putting a camera down my throat, through the stomach and into the upper intestinal area). I felt very comfortable with him and he obviously knows his stuff. The day of my initial visit his office was very busy and even though they were only running 15 minutes behind, both the doctor and his staff stuck their heads in my room several times to let me know they hadn’t forgotten me.
A couple weeks later (at Long Beach Memorial) he performed the enteroscopy on me while I was sound asleep, thanks to anesthesia. When I awoke I was relieved to find out I didn’t end up as the center person in a human centipede experiment. Seriously though, I was slightly groggy but feeling good. Dr. Trivedi came to my bedside and explained the findings (nothing serious) and I was soon on my way.
High recommendation for this doctor! Also thanks to the great support staff of nurses at Long Beach Memorial.
