"I have struggled with my gut health for a few years now and I’ve always just ignored it or put it to the side. As I’m getting older I realize how important it is to take care of yourself and saw Dr. Anna Patel recently. She was very understanding and we waisted no time I told her what my symptoms were and what I had been going through and she’s felt listened to. I think that’s a big part of what I look for in a provider and I definitely received that here."

"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."

"I saw Dr. Patel who is highly educated & trained. I've suffered with acid reflux & abdominal pain since my teenage years. Dr. Patel is the 1st physician to educate me on the "many" causes of acid & stomach pain. He's the only physician I've seen that wants to fix the problem versus give me another pill. Dr. Patel goes above & beyond to help his patients, & I highly recommend him & IL. Gastroenterology Group."
