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, Justin talks about he’s found lasting relief from SIBO with help from his care team at Oshi Health.
Justin shares his experience with Oshi Health.
What has your experience been like from first hearing about Oshi, to your first appointment, to now?
I liked that Oshi was online, and that I could do it directly from my phone. And that I could schedule an appointment pretty quickly. The first time I saw somebody, it was Karee Ruth. She was very caring and she wanted to just get to the root of the problem—and really just wanted me to feel better. So it was just a great experience. She did help get to the root of the problem, and I feel 100% better now.
When I came to Oshi, it was just a completely different experience. And, again, just a great experience from the very beginning through now. I haven’t had to see them in a while because I feel better now. And that’s ultimately the gastro you want: a gastro that wants to help you get better, so that you don’t have to see them anymore. That’s exactly what I was looking for—and exactly what I found in Oshi.
How has your life changed since working with Oshi?
I had SIBO, and I had it multiple times. Oshi truly wanted to get to the root of it. It was awesome to get to somebody who truly cared and just wanted to help diagnose it, and to work with a dietitian as well to help see what I was doing that could help naturally solve any problems. As well as get to the point where I didn’t have to see a gastro anymore.
What would you say to someone who is considering treatment with Oshi?
So anybody that may consider going to Oshi or seeing a gastro, you know, what’s preventing you from doing it? I mean, you can do it on your phone. Any labs they would have to order, they can do it from there, and you just have to go show up to a lab and do it. I would recommend Oshi 100 times out of 100. Ultimately that’s the end goal: is going to a gastro who wants to get to the point where you don’t have to see them anymore. That’s exactly what Oshi did. They got to the root cause, and I haven’t had to have an appointment for a year now because I’ve felt so much better. So I would highly recommend them to anybody that’s having gastro problems.
