I recommend him to everyone I know and I'm dreading the day that he retires."

"My regular GI dr wasn’t available to see me, so I was told I could see one of his associates, Dr. Hymel. I’d been having severe pain in my abdomen for 3 days. I was there before for the same pains but these were worse. After asking me the routine questions he felt around on my stomach and although didn’t feel anything abnormal he ordered a CT scan. (I was very thankful) couldn’t find answers the first go round so I was hoping to find answers this time. Dr Hymel was profession and actually seemed to care about what was going on. Considering I was rating my pain at a 10+ (and I can handle pain). I’m very thankful he ordered a CT scan because they were able to find the problem."

I was so anxious and scared of passing a lot of blood with my bowel, but Dr. Carriere’s friendliness and easy going nature made me feel better. After hearing my symptoms, he right away told me that it was diverticulosis.

"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."
"I first met Dr.Schibler in 2003 when he did a colonoscopy for me and discovered a tumor. From that point on he and his staff pointed me to everything I needed to do and who I should see next. Thanks to their kind and professional help I am now 16 years cancer free. My recent contact with this professional group was for a nasty colitis infection. They treated me for my seven day hospital stay with the same professional and compassionate care. I have recommended Dr Schiller to several people and they have had the treatment and experience I had with this group."
"I offer this superior rating to Dr. MAMayer and one of his assistants, Kathy. My wife and I have been his patients for many, many years. He explained my gastrointestinal is the consummate physician. One is never rushed during an appointment. He fully discusses and explains your medical condition or test to be conducted. What prompted this review is a situation that occurred last week. I explained my symptoms by phone to Kathy She had promptly returned my message. She consulted with Dr. Mayer and they immediately ordered lab tests at Quest. Today she again promptly called me upon receiving partial lab results -- explaining she would call wh the remainder are received. An in-office visit will be scheduled as necessary. All of this was done without a copay. Dr. Mayer put my well-being first! Great people!!!"
"One of the best doctors I've ever seen!! She has the calmest, most gentle demeanor that is so refreshing. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, and offers answers. She truly put me right at ease and I can't thank her enough for that. She is very professional, and also very humble. She doesn't rush her visit with you like so many doctors do these days. I'm so glad Dr. Lemann chose to be a doctor!! I will be recommending her to my family and friends."
"Great Doctor! Helped me understand the issues I was having. Gave me additional infot.atuon to keep my issues under control. And never had to wait more than 10 minutes to see him!"
"Dr Brenner has such a great bedside manner. Has a great sense of humor for those who afraid to get colonoscopy/endoscopy. Been seeing since 2005! I would never go to anyone but him! Explains everything and takes time for his patients. Getting ready to schedule my 22 year old for some testing, and she hates going to doctor. I think she will be ease when she meets him!! I recommend him to anyone who's looking for a gastroenterologist."
