Dr. Glaws is a superb GI doctor and wonderful human being. He takes his time and gets to know you and takes a very thorough medical history. If you do end up needing a procedure, he and his team make you feel safe and comfortable.
Dr. Calandra and his staff are excellent! I highly recommend them.
Dr Calandra is the best. He is professional and caring. His staff of nurses are great. They are professional and kind.
Dr. Shapiro is an extremely caring and thorough physician. I have had some difficulties over the years and he is always looking for other options to help me. He is up to date with procedures and the research and academia . He’s truly a physician that still cares after being in practice for many years.
The doctors, the assistant, the stuff and the clinic are neat
I’m very satisfied with the office staff and doctor Alan Shapiro. He was very detailed and made me understand exactly what I need to have done. Very helpful and friendly. Excellent!!
Very caring and capable is how I would describe Dr Shapiro
The whole process was well coordinated and professional. Made comfortable so much that I didn't know when the procedure started. I thought that I was still waiting for Dr. Ballard to start, only to be told that he has been through.
Dr was very informative Took plenty of time with me.
Dr Patel was amazing and very informative and the staff went above and beyond for my comfort and care.
The care I received at Dr Ballard's from the front desk, to the nurses was very professional Dr. Ballard is a very caring doctor my entire experience was very professional

Everyone...especially those of you over 40 - either sex who fear medical and specifically, colorectal-gastro medical, Dr. David Kim is truly a wonderful doctor. He took the entire experience and made it thorough, informative, professional but also, very personal. He took time. He reads your input to make an appointment go smoother. I truly like and admire Dr. Kim.
If you have not had a colorectal exam, do so! And, do it with Dr. Kim!

I've been going to Dr. Qazi for years. He always takes the time to listen to my issues, but also to see how I am doing personally. He's wonderful.
Dr. Patel is a very concerned, compassionate, and kind doctor that not only listens but also genuinely made sure to always be available for my endless messages on the portal. I sincerely appreciate his patience, concern, and upbeat and optimistic attitude. I would recommend him to everyone.
Nice staff, taken into a room on time. Dr. Goldstein is easy to talk to. Even with some difficult issues to talk to him about, the doctor makes it easy to discuss.
I have been going to Dr Muscarello for years. He is a great doctor, considerate, thoughtful, and explains everything to you. I really like him and I think anyone would. And that’s my honest opinion.
The service was great. I had an appointment and arrived on time and was seen without waiting. The staff was very efficient and Dr.Patel explained every detail about the procedures I am going to have.
I had an appt for a discussion and evaluation prior to scheduling a procedure. Jolene was very friendly and had reviewed my chart and was totally up to speed with my health.
Friendly, efficient staff. Appointment was right on time and Dr and nurse were very patient oriented. Very pleasant experience and I would HIGHLY recommend their services to others.
My experience with Dr. Ballard and GI Alliance was grand. The front office, nursing care team and of course Dr. Ballard was very professional, patient, understanding, made me feel at ease, answered all my questions, had flexible scheduling and the office was neat, clean and with Covid sanitation measures in place. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ballard and his team.
The nurses and doctors were very thorough and made me at ease.
Doctor Jacobs was very concerned for my health issues and helped expedite getting my Endoscopy done.Wonderful Doctor!
The PA was very good and was very easy to talk to. She was a good listener and also made sure my medications were being used and up to date.
As always, Dr. Shapiro was prompt, attentive, empathetic and left me feeling I had been heard and understood. I always feel Dr. Shapiro speaks with me at my level, never impatient, always interested. There's a sincerity with him that I rarely get from other doctors.
Everyone is friendly and efficient. Dr. Losurdo is a great doctor. He sits down and talks to you asking the important questions he needs answered. He listens as well.
Great communication, nurses were great and Dr Victor was so personable and friendly. A+++
Completely satisfied with my visit. It was friendly professional and the doctor made me feel completely at ease talking with her
