"My first time here was outstanding, from the ladies in the front office to the staff behind the seen. The day of the procedure went very well. Dr. Julka and his staff made me feel very comfortable. The first nurse was polite, professional and a little comical is what I needed. The wait time was not long at all. From the time the IV was in the anesthesiologist came in introduced herself then I was off to the procedure. After rolling on my side, here came Dr Julka,he says hello, facemask on I was out, next thing I knew I was in recovery. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants good service and people who care. Thank you GI ALLIANCE group!"
"He is a great Doc. He is nice answers all of my questions and even ask me if I had anymore questions. He has a great team of nurses thanks to Dr Julka and team 😊 thanks. Jessie W Lee"
"I had a wonderful experience with Dr Julka and his team. The care I received was very professional and supportive. Once the procedure was complete Dr Julka came in explained the results and to do a follow up."
"Peace and Love the Service was outstanding the staff explained the procedure from anesthesia as well as recovery etc my wife was able to wait with me prior in prep area nothing else to say but see you all in ten years if it be in the will of Allah✋🏾✌🏾☪️"
"Dr. Julka is an excellent doctor who will take the time to listen to your questions and concerns, and make sure they’re answered. Often times, they are running behind, but I know it’s because he’s spending that extra time with his patients. I know I want that for myself. I’m not a fan of the new phone system. Unless you’re making an appointment there is no real option to choose to speak to someone, then you have to text why you’re calling. It is usually a day later before you get a call back. Then you can be playing phone tag. I prefer the old system where a live person answered and you can talk to someone immediately if you’re having an issue. Overall, I recommend GI Alliance—the doctors are very good here."
"Dr. Julka and his staff were very pleasant and professional. Even in a very short notice situation, they responded to my concerns in less than five minutes. This is nearly unheard of in today's era of marginal human contact and automation."

"Hello SSH, I just had a procedure last week there, and I was sleep deprived and feeling anxiety. However, when the anesthesiologists explained to me so well, that immediately I felt a sense of relaxation that I stated, come on let's do this. That's the person that injected the medicine in my IV. Thank you"

"The only bad part was preparing for the procedure. The pills and Gatorade solution was terrible. I know it had to be done but I didn’t like it one bit. Stay close to a bathroom. The procedure was a breeze. One moment waiting for the room next the knockout juice in the IV. Next moment back in recovery. I had good results and little discomfort. Great teamwork everyone. Very pleasant and knowledgeable assistants."

"Very excellent doctor I have no problem with my stomach and digestive system anymore. I was having issues since my early twenties not anymore. Best doctor ever thank you."
"Dr. Julka has been my gastroenterologist for about 8 years or more. My experiences have always been professional, thorough, pleasant and informative. He is usually very up to date on any and all diagnostical tests which i may have had, whether they were gastro related or not..Mostly, he doesn't rush thru my appointments. We actually talk and discuss different options. This allows me to make better decisions. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.."
"The ease of setting the appointment, to really feeling heard at the consultation, and the minimal wait time in the office has made my experience so far with Dr. Julka wonderful. I never felt dismissed or let on by false concern"
"Dr.Julka is very experienced. He explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions. He made me feel comfortable with the procedure I was having. I would recommend him for all your digestive needs."
"I started seeing Dr. Julka in 2019. I was afraid and had no idea what was going on from my stomach to colon. He is extremely thorough and caring. I’m still battling issues, but I’m comfortable with him as my Gastroenterologist."
"Very attentive and great bed side manners. Very knowledgeable and open to communication. Dr Julka provides clear explanations of what’s going, what to expect, and what needs to be done on both his end and your end. Also, very down to earth and friendly. I personally recommend Dr. Rahul N. Julka to my family and friends."
"I only had the opportunity of meeting with the doctor one time to discuss a procedure that I was going to half. He was very pleasant and appeared to be concerned about my well-being while reassuring me that things would go fine as I am a very high anxiety type person. I really appreciated his reassurance and honestly by the time my office visit was over I was feeling very comfortable and confident about the upcoming procedure. He has the perfect bedside manner if you will."

"I have had gastric problems for about four years. I was referred to Dr Julka by my primary physician. I found Dr. Julka to be a caring physician that really listens to you and cares about your aches and pains. He recommends medications that really work for my problem and explains side effects and when is the best time for taking medication. I would recommend him to other patients. I am quite satisfied being his patient."
"Dr. Julka is great he diagnosed me in a timely manner and gave in depth information regarding what was wrong with that I could understand and comprehend."
"I have been running from "the test" for five years now. I might get through it this time...the office was clean as well as restroom and patient traffic was manageable (not crowded) covid guidelines are on point Doctor was mild mannered and funny enough for me to Hear the plan (you don't just stop some meds like Coumadin) now I follow through with this truly awesome team I have."
"I'm extremely satisfied with the level of care I received from Dr. Julka. I was referred by my primary care physician. Dr. Julka listens to my concerns, answers my questions thoroughly and does a great job of explaining everything. Prior to seeing him I had been struggling with medical issues and had other doctors disregard my pain. I'm grateful I was referred to him. The office wait can be very long, but staff is friendly and level of care I receive is well worth the wait. I would highly recommend."
"Dr. Julka and his team made this first time experience free of worry. Process was explained prior and follow-up care was clear. I would recommend Dr. Julka and his staff for your service."
"Dr. Julka himself is a very good doctor. Sometimes it’s hit or miss when trying to call the office. The front desk is typically good. If you need to speak to a nurse regarding an issue good luck. The majority of the time they do not pick up the phone or takes forever to call you back. This is a problem If you have a pressing matter that doesn’t necessarily warrant a trip to the ER or urgent care, but you may be left with no choice. I know everyone is busy but that’s not something I typically experience with other doctor’s staff."
