McElhenney bet that if he learned to speak Welsh, Reynolds would publicly broadcast his first

For all my visits, the staff at MGA have been most helpful. For my latest visit, they found an appointment for the day I called. The appointment time was convenient for me. The nurse, Carlene, was very pleasant and Dr. Schibler, as always, was ready to listen and discuss my issues and provide what I believe to be appropriate medical treatment. My MGA visits have always been professional and courteous. Thanks to all of you.
As soon as a signed in and completed my paperwork Dr Marino saw me. He explained what I needed to know in a professional manner
Good guy, knows his stuff. And his nurse, nurse shorty, was very good at her job with a great sense of humor.
Dr Reiss is a great doctor cares for his patients also has a wonderful bed side matters, also listens to all your concerns
It was my first time at the new office, I like it very much the waiting area and the examine room have more space. Doctor Puente is very nice I like him very much because you get the feeling he listens to you and answer your questions.
I am very content with my Dr. Etc. All was very through and polite.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Reiss to anyone seeking an exceptional gastroenterologist! Dr. Reiss and his team at Metro Gastroenterology and Associates are kind, compassionate, and truly personable. Dr. Reiss genuinely cares about his patients, taking the time to address all concerns and develop effective treatment plans. You’re not just a number in his practice—his personalized approach sets him apart.
His nurse and nurse practitioner are equally outstanding, showing patience and understanding, especially for those with medical anxieties. Dr. Reiss answers every question thoroughly and works tirelessly to ensure you’re on the path to recovery. After years of struggling with an undiagnosed condition that other doctors couldn’t resolve, Dr. Reiss identified the issue and created a tailored treatment plan that has made a tremendous difference. I’m grateful to be his patient and can’t thank him and his staff enough!

Dr. Marino is the best there is. Always on time for appointments. Super friendly and so is his stff
The staff is so welcoming. I only see Dr Lemann every 10 years and I absolutely love her kindness.
Dr Carriere was very thorough. He looked over my chart and discussed my situation. He recommended a test I could take and explained the test so I could make a decision!
Nicest staff in town. I'm going for mac degen & I'm not going to just anyone for my eyes. I trust him.
Easy check-in. Doctor is pleasant and listens to his patients. Also he is well informed as to patient’s concerns.
Dr. Reddy has been my doctor for over 20 years.I owe him my life for making me do routine colonoscopies every 5 years. In 2020 he discovered cancer and immediately sent me to a surgeon. My cancer was stage 1; he caught it in time. I just did my follow-up colonoscopy after 1 year.
Dr.Redy is very thorough and professional in all he does. I couldn't be happier with him.

Dr. CATINIS IS DOING ALL HE CAN TO RELIEVE MY PAIN AND SWELLING I AM SO GRATEFUL
I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. Although I hate filling out paperwork they made it easy as possible. Dr Shibler answered all my questions and explained my course of treatment.
Very satisfied with the service
From reception to exit after colonoscopy, everyone I encountered was pleasant, efficient and reassuring. This made an unpleasant process tolerable. I especially appreciated getting a printout of my results prior to leaving the office.
Dr. Schibler, ll, M.D.
