"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!"
"It was a colonoscopy. How pleasant could that actually be? HAHA However, All the medical staff was very good, professional, and pleasant. My nurse was Stephanie and she was fantastic.She was fun to work with and kept me at ease. I am supposed to come back in a year and I will request her. Dr Carriere was wonderful, so was the nurse anesthetist No complaints AT ALL."
"Scheduled visit to pickup prep kit for upcoming colonoscopy resulted in successful acquisition of 24 magic pills that ought to do the clean out trick at the appointed time."
"Great experience! My colonoscopy started with the prep the day before. Definitely recommend the Sutab tablets vs drinks the liquid prep. Arrived at 11:30 am for my procedure. The staff and nurses were very courteous and informative. Dr. Lilly visited with me before, during and after the colonoscopy to answer questions and give me my results. Dr. Lilly is very good with great personality! I highly recommend you get your colonoscopy at the required time!"
"Entire staff professional, polite and caring of your needs. Morning of my procedure I was nauseous and after signing in the nurse found me a bed and put me on iv fluids and zofran which immediately helped with my nausea. The efficiency of your entire operation is amazing and one that you and the other doctors should be proud of."

"I have been a patient of Gastroenterologist Dr. David Silvers for a couple of decades. My late husband, a surgeon, recommended Dr. Silvers to me because of his confidence in Dr. Silvers’ skills and bedside manner and, in my experience, both are excellent. I recently underwent a screening procedure with Dr. Silvers and, as always, he demonstrated great kindness, concern, skill, and timely follow up communication in addressing my medical needs."
"Dr. Wegmann is the best GI that I’ve ever seen. He takes his time to listen to your concerns and discuses all options so that both parties can come up with a mutually beneficial solution. He has helped me tremendously."

"If you’re having GI concerns or worries, he is the doctor that will take the time to go through each and every worry with you. I could not have been more appreciative to have come across a doctor that did not rush me while I had to sit and think about everything that has been going on and what was important to mention that I could have forgotten. He’s thorough. He will order scans and tests to see what is going on."
"Dr Scott D. Pollack is a great doctor very friendly and make you feel welcome and a great surgeon I had no problems and no complications after my surgery"

"I had a very detailed experience written but I think I accidentally erased it. The bottom I am Greatfull! The entire staff at Dr. Reiss' office is efficient in their position, empathetic, kind, comforting and professional. As for my experience with Dr. Reiss, his surgical and medical treatment of my health has been wonderful. His understanding, ability to comfort, educate, and professional bed side manner eased my concerms. He has cured the pain that I suffered with for 4 years after each meal. I certainly was not expecting the findings and I feel so blessed that he took care of the infection and issues in my esophagus. Within 24 hours post surgery I was enjoying a pain free meal without nausea. To say I would recommend Dr. Reiss is an understatement. He is a top notch professional, insightful, skilled, a great doctor and communicator. Thank you Dr. Reiss, I am blessed to have you as one of my medical providers."
