"Dr. Carriere was very professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. The office is quite busy and overwhelming at first… so many different doctors, but once I saw Dr. Carriere I felt better. I felt like he took care of my individual health needs and had my best interest in mind."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Silver’s for many years. I don’t see him often, but it’s time for my routine testing. I have been having a problem and Dr. Silver’s immediately came up with a plan to help me. He was kind and very helpful."
"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. Everyone else was great though and Dr. Lilly is fantastic."

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."

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.

The nurses and doctors were great and made the colonoscopy go smoothly. Their new facility is very well equipped and comfortable for both patients and waiting family members. 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.

After only one visit, you will feel like part of the family and he will remember you. Dr. Schibler sits with you and looks at you instead of a computer screen while you speak. 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 can confidently recommend Dr. Schibler to anyone who is having GI concerns or problems in their life. Don’t suffer or worry needlessly. Go ahead and call for an appointment."

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.

Guess this is what comes with being a super doctor!!!"
"My recent visit Since I mistakenly went on the wrong day for my visit with Dr. Silver, the Staff greet me nicely, letting me know that I was a week early, but they could accommodate me that day to see another doctor.
