Welcome to Oshi Patient Stories, an interview series where we hear from the real people who have found lasting relief from digestive symptoms with Oshi’s virtual gastrointestinal (GI) care. In today’s interview, Zehra talks about how she feels more confident navigating life with IBS thanks to Oshi’s ongoing support.
Zehra shares her experience with Oshi Health.
What has your experience been like? From first hearing about Oshi, to your first appointment, to now?
My experience with Oshi has been very positive. I have a great nurse practitioner who from the beginning spent 30 minutes, maybe even more, talking about all of my symptoms. And not only that, but then she gave me very helpful and useful tips to help me as I am, you know, learning about how to get through IBS. The appointment is super simple. I went on, I booked my appointment online, and then during the appointment time I was just kind of waiting in a quote waiting room, which is way better than going to a physical building. She gets on and we immediately start discussing, you know, test results. And we immediately start discussing ways of helping my current symptoms. But I am very grateful for Oshi because it has really helped calm my symptoms and calm me down in so many ways. And if I ever need anything, the best part about Oshi is it’s always available. I just send a message and somebody responds, and I very much appreciate that.
How has your life changed since working with Oshi? What would you say to someone who is considering treatment with Oshi?
My life with Oshi has been a little more, I would say, more confident. Because I have the tips and tools and tricks, but not only that, I have Oshi in, you know, my back pocket. Meaning I can always message if I need something or if I have a question. So it’s given me a little more relief and peace in my journey to help with my IBS. And if there is someone who is considering treatment with Oshi, I would 100% recommend it because these practitioners have different tips than what my doctor provided. Even though my GI was great and I would, you know, 10 out of 10 still go to my GI, I appreciated the partnership with my Oshi provider because she had different thoughts and ideas about treatment options and my symptoms and it was very nice to hear that side also. So I would also recommend this Oshi to somebody else who’s thinking about it because it’s a great addition to whatever you’re doing right now. Even if it’s not an addition, but it’s just your primary source of getting relief or ideas or if you just want somebody to talk to, I 100% would recommend Oshi for that.
