"Dr Awtrey was awesome! He was kind, friendly, personable yet professional. He made you feel at ease before and after the procedure. He explained what was involved and the results of my colonoscopy. I feel so comfortable with Dr. Awtrey that I would consider more frequent procedures BUT yuck, the prep is unpleasant!"
"My colonoscopy went smoothly. I felt safe throughout my procedure, pre op and post op. Happy to give Dr. Richard Awtrey complements on his successful practice."
"I highly recommend Dr. Awtrey. He performed my colonoscopy 7 years ago and will be doing a repeat one in a few weeks. He will put you at ease, has a great bedside manner and is patient with any questions you have."
"Dr. Awtrey made what was a very uncomfortable procedure for us women (colonoscopy) stress free. He is professional, proficient and has excellent bedside manner and a great support staff. Thank you."
"This second visit was extremely successful. Dr. Awtrey reviewed the results of my colonoscopy with accuracy. Additionally, he addressed my chronic stomach pain and prescribed medication for me to take as needed. Dr. Awtrey exemplified a true interest in my wellness!"
"As opposed to my first colonoscopy this practice runs like clockwork with a very efficient and professional staff. Dr. Awtney’s confident exuberance allayed my fears through his thoughtful responses. I have already recommended him to several friends hesitant to go through with the procedure. Well done!"
"Dr. Awtrey and his team are the best! Colonoscopy can be a scary and uncomfortable procedure, but Dr. Awtrey made it feel easy. I also felt that he would handle it for me with total caring, skill and professionalism, whatever the outcome. I trust Dr. Awtrey, with good reason."
"I am happy to recommend Dr. Awtrey. Five years ago, he administered my colonoscopy and removed a potentially serious polyp. He has since kept me informed. I will undergo another colonoscopy with him soon. He is an accomplished physician who listens to his patients and responds empathetically. I am grateful to be undergoing treatment with him."
"Dr. Awtrey and the staff at MGA Gastrointestinal Diagnostic & Therapeutic Center were attentive, thoroughly professional, and pleasant to deal with in regards to my colonoscopy. I highly recommend this doctor and Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates."
"Dr. Awtrey was responsive to my concerns and agreed to move my colonoscopy procedure up 3months From its recommended redo time due to the severity and long-standing time spand of my very disruptive and painful symptoms ! That is exceptional medical care, when your physician “really listens” to the serious concerns of his patients."
"My entire experience for a screening colonoscopy was amazing, from the intake by phone, to the mailings for prep, to the thorough reminders by text, to the pre op staff, to the anesthesia staff, to the post op staff, to the follow up call after the procedure. And Dr. Awtrey was incredibly attentive, kind, thorough, providing me with a full report before I left the procedure facility. I would definitely recommend Dr. Awtrey with Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates without reservation. And the procedure facility at 2820 Napoleon Ave was convenient and organized."
