"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."

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."

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."

I went in to his office so sick just recently. He listened to me, set me up with test and followed with EGD Colonoscopy. He found bacteria in my lower intestines, which was the thing that made me so ill. He found some others things and has me on special food diet and prescription to help those things. But if it wasn't for him using his knowledge to know what test to run to find a solution to give me relieve I don't know what I would of done. I'm grateful for his knowledge and thoroughness on this situation. Highly recommend. Need more doctors like him. God bless."

His dedicated staff is a reflection of him, as their communication skills, their people skills and their devotion and commitment to treating Dr. Puente's patients with empathy and compassion exceeds the limits of imagination. In preparation for my medical procedure, they left no stone unturned, they answered all my questions and their actions were consistent with those of thoroughly trained medical professionals. I feel extremely blessed to have Dr. Puente and his staff in my corner - they assuaged all my fears, they made me feel very comfortable and they treated me like family, traits and qualities for which it is impossible to put a price tag on.

"Love Dr. Puente! However, when the office began using a new accounting firm, I think GI Alliance, I began getting bills and CONSTANT reminders that I owe $20. They sent emails, snail mails, phone calls, and texts! They sent a text EVERY DAY, even after I looked up their website & messaged them that I WILL PAY at my next appointment that is soon. Even AFTER I paid at my next appointment, they continued to send daily text reminders!!! Only after I called & informed them that I PAID, did the daily texts stop. This is horrible customer service!!!"

"Dr. Lilly is fantastic and so is most of the staff. The only problem I had was the woman who oversaw my initial intake and prep.. She was cold,mean and rude. I waited in the cold with no way to warm myself under a sheet for over a half an hour before I got taken in for my procedure. Also, there was no explaining in advance as they stuck the port above my wrist near my arthritic thumb for which I’m about to get surgery. I found this very upsetting.

When the nurse took my vitals I asked if there was lotion available. She was so sweet and came back with the best lotion for my diabetic dryness. I saw Dr. Schibbler and he explained something that I never knew existed. I’m glad that I was able to keep my appointment and schedule two procedures. I appreciate their expertise and timely fashion to get me through. I was finished early and was able to complete other tasks for that day."

The nurse that put in the I V was excellent (Nicole?) I was not bruised at all. My anesthesiologist (Rosa) was kind, and so was Dr Puente. I don’t remember the colonoscopy of course, and I woke up in the recovery room. I’m glad it’s over, but even the prep the day before wasn’t bad.

My previous doctors were women and I was a little apprehensive about changing to a male doctor; however, my privacy was well respected by everyone on the staff.

His conversations always feel mutual and knowledgeable, not like you’re being lectured to or fussed at. His many years of experience give me confidence that his diagnosis and treatment plan are right for me. And he is very available for phone calls when you need to speak to him, not an office worker.

I will continue to be his patient. , I did not like or appreciate the way his clerical person name Samantha in the office address me when she was not part of my conversation with Miss Goldie. I shared the details of my experience with Dr Brenner and with his personal assistant, Miss Gayle I was not aware that I would need to document the medication’s. I was taking and I did not have it with me. I sent it as soon as I got home as I promised, and I hope that somebody addressed her relative to this and to how she speaks to people and looks at people, because I hope I don’t have to deal with her ever again. I realize everybody has a bad day and maybe she was having such however, you can’t do that in business. She was absolutely, absolutely , absolutely out of line. Might I add that she was very disrespectful in my humble opinion. God bless and take care of everybody in that office in Metairie, Louisiana"
