The doctors are fantastic, but the staff is an absolute horror and beyond rude. Also, good luck with getting through to make an appointment, I got called out for how many times I called in one day. The staff is just extremely lazy and doesn't want to answer the phone.

Dr. Patel is an awesome gastroenterologist and I have no complaints. He’s very thorough and spends time with you and listens. His nursing staff is amazing and makes you feel comfortable before and after your procedure.

When I arrived they advised my appt was canceled. Oops their error. After preparing for Endoscopy and colonoscopy was advised by the anesthesiologist she would not provide anesthesia as there may b a problem with my heart. I asked them to clear with my cardiologist. They refused. Told me to leave. In my opinion this place is unprofessional and is a factory for colonoscopies.

Had an esophageal dilation performed February 11, 2021. Every aspect was totally professional from scheduling to discharge. The staff was courteous and attentive, and Dr. Rutta was extremely congeal and professional. With regard to some of the reviews, I'm not a "dream" patient, but I have no complaints. Some individuals can never be pleased.
