"One of the kindest doctor's I've met in awhile. He listens, asks pertinent questions and takes notes on a legal pad which, I'm sure, he enters on his laptop which is in front of him. He faces you instead of eye contact with a screen. I would recommend him to anyone."

Let me tell you-look no further. The staff at his office are so helpful, communicative and understanding. And Dr. Seraphin is fantastic (and the same)! I am so excited and happy that my client, (and I) are working with him. I feel so confident that Dr. Seraphin "sees" my client, gets him and his complex medical challenges and takes initiative to do all the right-and best things- for him. I don't give recommendations easily, and this one is very well deserved. If you deserve the best, see Dr. Peter Seraphin!"

He explains everything in terms that you understand and is one of the kindest providers I have ever encountered. I have many chronic, and some rare conditions and fully trust in Dr. Gluskin. The office staff display the same attributes as Dr. Gluskin, which shows me that he leads by example and the standards set by this GI group are very high and all patient centric. I wish they had all the specialties I need for my health conditions , because they would be my choice for all. I had worked in healthcare over 30 years and have experienced all levels of care and experiences, but none have ever been as positive, reassuring and pleasant as any and all interactions with this group."

He worked with me and my countless questions. I recently had a colonoscopy done with this Dr.. It went very smooth afterwards he told me what he saw and explained everything. He is very personable and dedicated to his line of work."
"I love Dr Dak Patel. He is thorough and very detailed. But I hate your phone system. I don't want to text and when I did no text or call back.. sorry id rather have a human answer as it's my health we're talking about. Michael J Lentz RNc, MBA, APIC, CMC, CAS"
"Wonderful doctor, wonderful experience. Everyone was so kind and professional at this facility. Everything ran right on time and Dr. Arndt is amazing."
"Doctor Clark is great! I think the office is a little too busy though. It’s hard to speak with him personally a lot of times and you end up speaking with a nurse and the nurse practitioner makes a lot of the decisions on your health which is not bad but you’re paying for the doctors advice on your health issues. I do highly recommend Dr Clark he has been amazing with ECD banding procedures he has performed on me and the staff is excellent in the surgical area as well as the main office."
"This was my first time visiting the GI Alliance of Illinois: Evanston, and it was a good experience overall. Dr. Ana Patel was beyond amazing! She listened to my concern, made me feel comfortable with my check-up, provided a fast resolution to my problem. The only downside is that their offices don't have a system to remind their patients about appointments. Unfortunately, I missed my first appointment due to me going to the Chicago location instead of the Evanston location."
"Listens to everything you have to say very comfortable talking to her tries very hard to keep you comfortable she even deals with the insurance company to get your medication would definitely recommend to anybody"
