My first time needing to see a GI doctor, so I was pretty nervous. His staff, and especially the nurses during the actual procedure, were super friendly, attentive, and professional. Provided warm blankets during the pre-op time. Dr. was very personable and professional prior to my procedure, chatting with me a little bit to know what was going on and what to expect. Whoever rated the office with low stars was rating it on a long wait time or phone troubles. I did wait about an hour for my procedure, but the Dr. ran into some complications with prior patients that he had to deal with, so I am totally fine with that.

Waited 3 months for a phone consultation prior to a colonoscopy. During that consult, I was told someone would call to schedule the exam. Nobody called. About two weeks later, got a letter in the mail with my scheduled appointment. Bugs me when I'm not consulted about scheduling. Makes me feel like the provider doesn't respect the value of my time. I have a life. The exam isn't for another three months. Hope it goes ok. Not a lot of positive feedback out there for this place.
