"Dr. Brett Hymel is my Gastro Doctor. I had a life altering event dealing with my digestive system, which changed my life by 180 degrees. There are many choices for Doctors and I just so happened to get assigned Dr. Hymel. Truly, I feel most fortunate to be under his continued care and rely on diagnosis and procedure's performed. I'd like to include, during and after procedures I experienced no pain or complications. Dr. Hymel, in my opinion is a very Experienced Professional."
"Front desk quick, efficient, respectful, and courteous. Doc was relatively on time, spend sufficient time, answered all questions, was professional and left me with a sense of confidence."
"I have being going to Dr Catinis for years. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Dr Catinis is very thorough and caring. I just had 2 procedures done last week and was so impressed with the new procedure clinic. Dr Catinis’s staff are so courteous and kind especially at the procedures clinic."
"Dr. Reddy recently did my colonoscopy. I am 83 years old. To be honest, l was very apprehensive about having it done, but Dr. Reddy helped put my mind at ease. The colonoscopy, itself, went well. I must add, however, the nurse who started my IV, obviously, was incompetent. She left my arm seriously bruised. In my many, many years of having colonoscopies done, it never happened before. Dr. Reddy is excellent, but the nurse is another story."
"My experience with Dr. Carriere was very good, the staff and hisself is very knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciate how he listened to me about my concerns."
"So happy to have Dr. Catinis for my Gastro. Having Crohn’s for 40 years is no fun and I finally have someone that will listen to me and knows exactly what I need when I need it. He takes so much time with you. He truly cares. He is not in a hurry. He is so personable. I highly recommend him."
"Dr. Awtrey is very reassuring and made me feel like I was in expert hands. I'm never thrilled about having medical services, so this experience was quite pleasant and erased my anxiety."
"My visit to Dr. Schibler as well as the procedure went very smoothly. The nurses and staff were very accommodating. The facility was impeccable. This is my doctor of choice and will be until he retires."
"Everyone was professional and friendly. I love Dr Lorio.Very attentive and genuinely concerned about my issue. New exactly what I needed and my issue has been corrected. ♥️"
"I have had several procedures done with Dr Reiss. He saved me from something that could have been a horrible experience. Also his staff is great too!! I highly recommend Dr Reiss!!!"
"Dr. Pollack was very thorough in his questioning of my medical issues caring about how to make me feel better and what is causing these issues. I am greatly pleased and thankful that he is my physician."
"When meeting Dr Schibler for the first time, I found him compassionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. He reviewed my records/history, answered all my questions, and carefully explained the plan of care. As a healthcare provider myself with over 40 years experience, I was impressed."
"Dr Reiss really cares about his patients. Hes not one to push a pill to cover up the problem. He will get to the bottom of your issue and figure it out to get it fixed. Thats the way medical care should be. I highly recommend he and his team."
"As usual everyone was very courteous and professional. I didn’t have a long wait to see the doctor after checking, in which is a plus. Because I need to have a procedure done, the scheduling nurse came right in and set up the procedure and phoned in the necessary prescription before I left the office. It was a very positive experience."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Silvers, since 2006. He was referred to me by Dr. Peters. When I started seeing him, I was very ill. If it were not for Dr. Silvers, and the other amazing doctors that he consulted with, I don’t know where I would be today. He doesn’t just treat the areas of the body that are affected by Crohn’s Disease, he treats the whole patient. He is very attentive to his patients. And your treatment plan is designed according to your symptoms. He communicates with your other doctors in order to give you the best care possible. Dr. Silvers is truly Heaven sent! Thank you Dr. Silvers, for everything that you have done for me! I am truly Grateful for you!💖💖"
"My mom is an older woman with mental illness and she tends to get treated dismissively by a lot of people, including many healthcare providers. We only had occasion to see Dr. Wegmann a few times for a consultations and removal of a feeding tube when my mom was battling cancer. I was really touched by how kind Dr. Wegmann and his nurse, Raven, were to my mom. It's really been a rarity for us and I just wanted to express my appreciation to both of them."
"Wonderful services Dr. Khan is very polite and respectful ,he explains every thing to you what's being done. I love his services . The staff was very helpful and kind. Dr. Khan provides excellent professional services ."
"The Doctor and Staff are magnificent people who are always professional, kind, helpful, and informative. When a patient contacts the office by phone, all questions are answered ; what is most impressive is if you are promised a returned call, the call is actually returned as promised. It is really a delight to go to this office."
"Having been a patient of Dr. Mayer for almost five years now (since I relocated here), I have never experienced a negative encounter with him. As a patient, I am somewhat of an enigma due to gastrointestinal issues that are complicated by cardiovascular conditions. With all of the complications associated with multi-system issues, he has demonstrated a high level of knowledge about my care. I have literally been rescued from death more than once by him. I am treated with respect by him and he considers what I have to say regarding my physical condition. When my blood work revealed things that were outside of his scope of practice, he referred me to great doctors who are now part of my health care team. The care of my health is explicitly entrusted to him. Another physician had suggested that I needed scopes, but he did not feel that they were necessary, even though he could have done them and made money off of them. If I am in the hospital, it is he who sees me and follows my case. His recall of my medical history is an impressive feat. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Gastroenterologist."
"I was seen in a timely manner. Staff was professional and friendly. Dr. Reiss greeted me in a friendly manner, listened intently to my concerns, and explained his plan to determine what treatment might be needed."

"I wish that I could write A book about DR.REDDY and his staff, they are all so great, they put you at ease. DR. REDDY has performed three colonoscopy on me and each time everything great. The follow up from the staff and from the dr. wanting to know if I had questions concerns. I just want to say THANK YOU to all of you."
"Dr Wegmann is a great gastrologist. He takes the time to try to resolve problems that you are suffering with. Very helpful I would recommend Dr Wegmann any day."

"Dr. Lemann is an excellent physician. She has treated me for several gastrointestinal issues over several years and I’ve always found her to be professional, thorough, understanding, patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. My last visit was for a procedure that I was very nervous about, but the pre and post care was excellent and Dr. Lemann made me feel comfortable and all went well. For that, I was most grateful."

"Dr. M. J.Marino is one of a few good doctors. My brother is disable, he's pretty much like a baby. When he get sick he cry out. He can't speak or tell us what's wrong.
