Think about all the qualities anyone could want and need in a physician, double it and you would have Brett Hymel. It’s no wonder that he has been voted the Physician of the Year. He has earned all the accolades he receives. I am truly blessed to have him as my doctor.
The doctor was great! The scheduling nurse Candi saved me about $5k just keeping it real and honest. I’d recommend them to anyone. I felt like customer service is at the forefront of this practice.
Truly caring and takes the time to listen to your concerns and works together with you to help find solutions to any issues you are having. From the moment I arrived in the office to check out, everyone was friendly, helpful and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Hymel and all of MGA GI! The best group of doctors!

Dr Hymel is such a great doctor. The staff is very friendly.
They were very professional, very kind and took incredible care of me. I would refer to all of my customers.
This doctor really cares about his patients. He does not take my new plan bit saw me anyway. I will be switching back to my old plan even though I get no perks because I don’t want to lose him as a doctor
I just want to say,Dr Hymel was very concerned about what was going on with ongoing issues I been having for years and he took the time to listen which is very important and I definitely loved that he definitely cares about his patients,Dr Hymel thank you and your staff so much
Doctor Brett Hymel was very good with explaining all possibilities and also taking the time to answer all your questions. I wasn't very pleased with his nurse. Doctor Hymel told me he was going to have his nurse to give me some paperwork for samples that needed to be taking from a lab,and that she would go over everything with me. The nurse handed me paperwork and I asked her where did I need to go and where do I get the kit from. I actually ask her afew questions. All she would say is I don't know , you would just have to figure that one out cause I have no idea.
Dr Hymel is very caring and compassionate. He carefully listens to all of your concerns. I know I couldn’t ask for a better advocate for my continued good health.
First time seeing a gastrointestinal MD
Dr Hymel understood my concerns and started me on a med to rule out EPI and stool test to identify abnormalities. Felt in good hands and hoping to resolve my peoblem.

I’m so grateful to Dr. Hymel and his team. I have suffered repeatedly with this condition for 7 years. No one has been able to find the cause. Dr. Hymel had the answer and the solution 5 minutes after meeting me. His nurse was very knowledgeable and patient when explaining the next steps to me. Thank you all so much.
Very good experience and all questions answered. The procedure went well and felt comfortable.
I would recommend Dr. Hymel to my family and friends. He explains everything he is going to do and makes you feel comfortable. I had three procedures and a colonoscopy and the staff were very personable.
The staff and doctor were great. The doctor showed concern by asking questions concerning my health.
