"Finding a doctor whom you can fully trust and rely about your health is one delicate task. For my husband Steve and I, I did ask recommendations from friends and others I know. I did go farther than that by going to a website that can tell me more about the person like what school where he graduated, where he did his residency, if there is any lawsuit against him. Having these informations is only a part of the equation but are solid enough to hold unto for a start. With all the names I was recommended and my own researched, I chose Dr. Walter Reid Glaws, DO. I started seeing him on the 3rd quarter of 2008. My husband followed my lead a year later. Dr. Glaws is been our gastroenterologist for over 14 years. We highly and absolutely recommend Dr Glaws to anyone who is in need of his expertise. He has the integrity, intelligence, energy and unwavering dedication to do his job the best he can. He has the excellent physician manners to his patients, full of compassion and understanding and takes his time to explain to his patients things they needed to know. Our honest observations of him for over 14 long years is that his patient's well being is his foremost goal as a physician. Deep in his heart, we noticed he takes his ( Hipocrates Oath seriously when taking care his patients. He had performed multiple endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures to us through the years. He had done several biopsies and and several polyps removals too. I underwent GERD treatment and was a success as well. In 2009, he found in my endoscopy procedure that I have nodules in my stomach wall. I went to see a surgeon (and got 4 more different opinions from other surgeons who aren't related to one another) that led me to have a partial gastrectomy. After my successful stomach surgery, we continued to go visit him for any gastroenterology issues we have. He moved in 2018 from the clinic where we used to go see him that is just 7 minutes away from our residence. He moved quite from us to other branches of his practice group. I went to see another one but I don't see those same qualities he have so we decided to follow him. My husband and I, just have our 2 endoscopy and 2 colonoscopy procedures with him this Dec. of 2022. Again, as always his service was unparallel. We can boldly say, we owe him so much of our good health in his expertise and that we're so appreciative for all he had done for us and for many more years to come. His office employees are awesome and so helpful and kind. The Northshore Endoscopy Center in Waukegan where we have our back to back procedures is a great place to go. The employees- from front desk, nurses, anesthesiologist, and everyone in the there were amazing and compassionate. May God bless Dr Glaws, his family and the people who work with him always. Thank you greatly to you all. Respectfully Yours, Evangeline Evanston, IL."
"Dr. Gambla is a doctor that actually takes the time to listen to you as a patient. His office staff is very helpful and friendly as well. Highly recommended."

"Dr Robert Janda has saved my life many times . This man is truly the extension of the healing hands of The Lord Jesus Christ. I was bleeding from the rectum due to side effects of chemotherapy, surgery, internal radiation and external radiation. Some Dr could not help me; but God used Dr Janda to heal me. The devil tried to kill me with hepatitis due to blood transfusion that I received years ago. But Dr Janda and Jesus Christ said “ no” to Satan. And I was healed without any injury to my liver. He has been my Dr for 12 years. His compassion for sick people drove him to Africa to do medical mission and many lives were saved. The Holy Spirit and I strongly recommend this Angel to you. He is a humble child of The Most God."
"Dr. Janda was outstanding and explained everything thoroughly before and after my procedure. Our family are all patients of Dr. Janda and couldn't be more pleased."

Thank you very much for your work!"
"I had a great experience. They called right away after my referral. ALL the staff were so nice. Amy even went out of her way to call me later in the day about some scans and understanding them. I felt heard. For once, I finally felt heard and my weight wasn’t even brought up. Would absolutely recommend."
"Dr. Kosmala’s thorough and unique examination of my condition was very welcomed by me. He took about 20 minutes just asking questions and then recommended a simple course of action including a change of diet. Then he will be more aggressive once I return in a few months. Very nice man too. Really like his demeanor."
"My experience with Dr. Losurdo was great. I had been dealing with issues for a few weeks and was dismissed by a few ER doctors. I was fortunate enough to get a quick appointment with Dr. Losurdo. He took his time to ask questions, was extremely thorough and was able to correctly diagnose my issue. On top of being thorough, he was very kind! The phone system here is a little difficult, however, the office is prompt in returning phone calls and messages through the online portal. I am so glad to have found a helpful doctor!"
"Dr.Darren Ballard is a good doctor he’s extremely nice and cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Ballard if you have any stomach problems."

"Hard to leave a meaningful review as I have only experienced a pre-procedure consultation. My limited view is: Dr. Robinson is personable. He appears to be knowledgeable and open to questions. So far so good! More after Feb, 2023. '"
"The people behind the desk and the nurse practitioner were extremely accommodating and kind.

"My husband was the patient, and we share this phone. We were very impressed with our visits with DR LIEBOVICH. His manor of care was far beyond anything my husband had ever experienced. Jesus has never been sick except for the initial cold and flu. Now that he has reached retirement years. All the ailments are stepping out to say HELLO. But DR and his staff were friendly, kind and sympathetic to his needs. With a simple explanation as to the results of his CT scan, and change in diet Jesus is doing better.

"I really like Dr Godambe. I feel she is one of the few doctors who respects the patient's decisions about their healthcare. I have ulcerative colitis, and although she offers suggestions about new medications to make my life and colitis better, she doesn't force her opinion or try to intimidate me (as some GI dr's I've had in the past try to do). Excellent bedside manner; very caring. She did my last colonoscopy and it went very smoothly. Highly recommend her."
"Just had an initial appointment with Dr. Gluskin and he was wonderful. I did not at all feel rushed; he was insightful and thorough, very kind and relaxed demeanor, and that put me at ease which is no easy task.

"I've had 5 colonoscopy's since age 42 after my dad died of colon cancer. Dr. Stinneford has performed every one. Will continue with him until he retires. 👍"
"I just want to say Thank you to everyone who took care of me. I am terrified of needles and always have really bad anxiety when I have to do anything with needles and especially with putting anesthetic in. The nurse did so good, from the first time and the IV was in (in a vain that has never worked before). Also they made sure I knew I was in good hands and I really was. The colonoscopies upper and lower was really quick, I was done in less than an hr. Thank you guys again, it really means a lot to me for what all of you did!"
"Finally - Dr.’s office with latest technology where you don’t have to fill up 5 pages on clipboard and can pre-register before you come. This shows respect to the time of your patients -2:00 pm appointment means you see Dr. At 2 pm. Dr. Jacobs very attentive allowing time to understand patient needs. Very welcoming and professional environment. Highly recommend this office."
"It was a pleasant experience,the doctor makes you feel confident.he gives you the opportunity to ask any question before the procedure, I definitely recommend him"

"Dr. Liebovich provided me with an excellent experience for my colonoscopy.

Would recommend him to anyone that needs the services he offers. Thanks also to the staff at Condel."

She is very easy to talk to and answers all questions you may have and more importantly always has a plan of action. She has helped me so much in so many ways.

Dr. Victor answers my concerns and his staff always ensures I am comfortable - they are all very easy to talk to. I appreciate each of them!!"
"Dr Joel Latin of Northwest Gastro is a phenomenal Doctor. He saved my life after my initial diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis a dozen years ago and has been a mainstay in my preventive care since. Great bedside manner! I highly recommend Dr Latin."

He is doctors doctor."

"I’ve been treated for a decade by Dr. Gambla and I consider him to be an excellent physician. He has always been on time for our office visits. He always schedules a lengthy office visit to address any questions and concerns. Unlike other doctors that I have seen he concentrates on my issues and concerns and does not allow himself to be distracted by a cell phone or a computer screen. He presents treatment and procedure options and is non judgmental when one decides against any of these options. When I was hospitalized back in 2012, a team of doctors gave me a 5% chance of survival. Dr. Gambla argued in favor of a biopsy and further treatments. After 32 days, including 10 in ICU I was able to walk out on my own. After that he treated me for conditions and a disease associated with my hospital stay that could have proved to be fatal. I would recommend him to anyone who has illnesses that connect to gastroenterology."

"Dr. Shapiro is a GI doctor. He sent me a reminder to make an appointment, which I ignored, then he sent me another one which I ignored. I just hadn’t been feeling strong enough to get through a colonoscopy. Then he made me an appointment and I thought I’d better go. He checked out the GI department and said I’m not well enough to get a colonoscopy and I didn’t have any polyps last time anyway. He said my issues were from chemo. I have lung cancer and I hadn’t been feeling well, as a matter of fact I was sick as a dog when I went in to see him. My son drove me. Dr. Shapiro listened to my lungs intently, he didn’t like what he heard and contacted my oncologist. They both determined that I better get to the ER ASAP. I did, and was admitted with viral pneumonia and Covid. He saved my life. Had I not gone to him that day the I would not have made it, I had a 102° fever. Dr. Shapiro goes above and beyond for his patients. He is amazing, I’ve been going to him for 30 years for colonoscopys. I cannot speak more highly of him."

"I went to the Illinois Gastrenterology for the first time to have my COLONOSCOPY. I have been seening Dr. Greenberg since probably the early 1990's. I have had him do my COLONOSCOPIES at St. ALLEXIUS hospital in Hoffman ESTATES since I live in Streamwood. This time his office suggested that I have my test done at their office in Arlington Heights. It truly was a pleasure doing my procedure at the Illinois Gastro office rather than the hospital. It was so much easier 1 to find a parking spot 2 the staff at Illinois Gastro is very kind and very hard working and they get you prepped really fast and the anesthesiologist is supper kind and she gave me just enough of the sleeping stuff that I woke up quicker and I never woke up during the procedure. Well, I can't say enough about Dr. GREENBERG because he is a very nice person and his bedside manners are fantastic. He explains everything before your procedure and after your procedure when he gives you your results. So like I said the Illinois Gastro CENTER is so much better and easier to go to and they work quicker and Dr. GREENBERG is awesome he has been my gastro doctor for way over 20 plus years. Along with every thing I have said about Illinois Gastro CENTER and Dr GREENBERG also he is my wifes Gastro Doctor as well. My wife explains Doctor GREENBERG as very gentle with his bedside manners as well as she will now get her procedure done at Illinois Gastro office also. The Center is so much better to go to than the hospital. Don't hesitate to try it you won't be disappointed at all. I give them 5 STARS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SERVICE INCLUDING DR. GREENBERG. 👍"
"My internist originally referred me to Dr. Merel several years ago for a routine colonoscopy and endoscopy. She has since treated me for a few gastric problems. She is an excellent diagnostician and I wouldn't be here today had I not gone to see her. She is very caring and goes above and beyond in taking care of her patients.

"Dr. Samir Patel is an EXCEPTIONAL doctor who exhibits impeccable bedside manners! He is very smart, passionate about his patients, and he doesn’t talk down to people. He explains things in a very concise manner. He is direct but in a respectful way. I have been his patient since 2014. When I first saw him, I was very nervous as I was experiencing some colon issues. He held my hand prior to me receiving anesthesia and made me feel at ease. I had the colonoscopy without any complications. Today, 5/18/2022, I had my routine colonoscopy. Nothing has changed about Dr. Patel. He is still a wonderful doctor! A few things that are really impressive are his staff, each time I visit him my husband is with me and Dr. Patel never treats him as if he is a fixture in the room, he talks to both of us, and he answers any questions my husband has, after the procedure he always give me my medical report with photos, and he has a sense of humor. If I could give him 100 stars I would."

"Dr. Merel has a warm and friendly bedside manner. She makes you fell comfortable in “uncomfortable “ Circumstances.

I have no intentions of finding a new doctor out here! I have great confidence in her."

My mom is 89 years old had many gallstones. She was admitted to another hospital but the doctor there couldn’t help her to remove the gallstones due to her age. I’m very fortunate that Dr. Hyser recommend Dr. Patel. He is able to relief my mom’s pain and remove all the gallstone. She is so happy and so touch by that. Thank you so much Dr. Patel. I would recommend Dr. Patel. He is very confident on what he does and very professional."

He is extremely knowledgeable and personable and he always listens to me and works with me to come up with the best solution. He is a doctor I truly trust and can count on and that means so much.

"I first met Dr Calandra as a consult when in Hinsdale Hospital. He has great bedside manera. He took the time to find out all that was afflicting me including issues that are not part of his medical discipline. He explained the tests he wanted me to take and the reasons why. The next time I saw him at the clinic in Hinsdale he remembered.me and my case and even if I still don't have answers we put a plan in place and I hope we can find out what is going on with me. The rest of the staff were also pleasant and helpful."

He came highly recommended and I was initially referred to him by two primary care physicians for a unique virus condition, which he was able to cure. Much to my satisfaction, I have continued to work with him over the years for standard preventative adult care procedures. Despite sporadic contact, he always recognizes me and knows exactly who I am. He provides sound advice and always follows up on whatever information is necessary for my continued good health.

I can’t say enough about his responsiveness, as well as his team’s. We should all be so lucky to have such great medical care."

She has an excellent bedside manner. And she's very professional but I feel like I'm talking to good friend at our appointments. I feel very lucky to have such a great doctor."

I had to understand that since knowing him. I appreciate him because he advised me on what to do and what not to do and is it up to me to be disciplined and make sure I follow the diet and take my medicine. I have been doing so much better as I cut out alcohol and smoking. I drink water daily and I cut out caffeine, red meat and other triggers to my condition. I recommend Dr. Elkhatib because he listened, he prescribed and he followed up. Thank you!"
"Dr. Calandra is a very qualified gastroenterologist. I’ve been his patient for 5 years when I met him when I was in the E.R. I’m grateful that he was on call that late afternoon. I had two serious G.I. problems and he and his colleagues got to the bottom of these problems, leaving no stone unturned in arriving at a diagnosis. Both of these problems required procedures and hospitalizations. In addition, Dr. Calandra is a kind and down to earth person who took all the time necessary to explain any questions I had. Thanks so much, Dr. Calandra. Jean L."
"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."

"I've never had a doctor care about me the way dr. David Kim cares about me. I believe dr. David Kim is the best gastroenterologist in Cook County because he cured me from hepatitis C when all the other gastroenterologists didn't think I could even handle the medicine. I could never thank him enough for that. And his nurse Mary goes over and above the Call of Duty. I appreciate my blessings."
"Dr. Gluskin asks the right questions from his patients to make sure he understands all symptoms to make the correct diagnosis to determine a plan of action. There have been instances where I was instructed to change my diet to add more bulk, and other times, It I have been a patient of Dr. Gluskin for 16 years and have great confidence in him as a Gastroenterologist. My husband and I both are his patients. was determined that I needed a colonoscopy. After my last visit in November, Dr. Gluskin said that he would like to perform an Endoscopy based on my symptoms. Due to COVID-19, I scheduled the procedure, but canceled. My husband and I are both patients of Dr.Gluskin. He is professional and courteous to his patients."
"Very detailed and asked great questions. Felt I was in good hands and that Dr. Gluskin cares about my health. A kind and very nice doctor and gave me a comfortable feeling. He performed my colonoscopy and endoscopy and I must say, I was super happy with the Dr. Gluskin, he talked me through the procedure and explained everything into details. I felt really safe and eased my fear. Great doctor and amazing bedside manners. I can only recommend Dr. Gluskin and give him five stars."
"Dr. Janda is an excellent doctor. He talks to you before the surgery and afterwards when you wake up . I knew if I had polyps right away. When the results are out, he calls you and explains everything to you in detail patiently . I have been Dr. Janda’s patient for many years and appreciate his care and professionalism very much. Feel very lucky to be under Dr. Janda’s care. He is very thorough too."
"I suffer from Barrett’s esophagus, IBS, and have a history of 18 colonoscopies with benign polyps and the last one a pre cancerous polyp was found. All I’ve ever had by my old GI Dr were Tests ! When I went to see Dr Cahill she said, “ has anyone talked to you about how to treat these disorders ?” I thought to myself , besides ordering prescriptions and laxatives and telling me to watch my diet I never ever had a Dr talk to me about how I might fix these problems! She sat across from me looked into my eyes and spent at least 25 minutes going over my digestive issues, what brought them on, what made them worse, etc., then examined my abdomen and ordered me some new medications and set up an appointment for a study to test the nerves and muscles in my bowel which no one ever thought of checking before. The front desk staff was so compassionate set up another appointment in a month and an appoint for my test. The Rx were at my pharmacy on my way home and ready for me.. What a great experience! Dr Cahill is very compassionate, brilliant, professional, and thorough. She is the Dr I’ve been looking for for years! I’m so glad I finally found an old fashion Dr that is young! That is ethical, , so intelligent, and really cares about her patient. The staff as well. Lizabeth Howell Johnson R.N."
"Having had Chrohns disease for 25 years I have gone through my share of GI docs. Dr Liebovich goes above and beyond any expectations you may have from a doctor. His attentiveness, his bedside manner and his clinical skills is what sets him apart from any other doctor I have been taken care by. If you need a GI doc Dr Liebovich should be your choice!"

"This was my first colonoscopy experience, but at 57 I knew I needed it done. I had some trepidation going into the whole process, but mostly uncertainty. But after leaving Dr Adler's office I was pretty amazed at how easy it all was. From the time I walked in to a warm and genuine greeting from one of the nurses (I think her name was Jackie) to the time I walked out a couple of hours later, it was stress-free, painless, and comfortable. Including the front desk person and Dr Adler I believe there were five people I interacted with during the procedure. Each of them was very helpful, making me comfortable and putting my mind at ease. When I was brought into the room for the procedure, the nurse anesthetist (Nikki or Nicole) explain what she would be doing, and after administering the anesthesia I think I was out within 30 seconds and "came to" after a very deep and satisfying sleep. There were no complications during the procedure, images were shown of a few polyps that were found, and I was told that I would get news of the test results soon afterward. While some people have reported being a bit loopy afterward, I felt no odd side effects and had a pretty normal day from there on. They asked if I wanted a follow-up "well-being check" which I declined, since everything had gone so well. The office did follow up with a phone call with tested results in a reasonable time. In summary, my experience with Dr. Adler and his staff was really "first rate.""
"Dr. Terry Baldwin is one of the greatest doctors I have had. He is very caring, empathetic, and very knowledgeable, along with a good bedside manner. The reason I go to him is for my Colitis condition. The workers at the front desk and the nurses are great also."

"Dr. Jeffrey Jacobs is an Excellent doctor! Caring, knowledgeable, reassuring and easy to talk to during my appointments. He cares about his patients!"
"Dr Bernsen is a phenomenal doctor. I am speaking as Dr. Bernsen’s patient but also as a medical provider. I came to see Dr. Bernsen for second opinion after seeing someone else for 7years. I was hesitent of leaving my previous doctor because you get attached. However, I knew I was not getting the symptom relief or quality of life I deserved. My ulcerative colitis was simply not treated. Now, boy am I thankful I saw Dr. Bernsen. For the first time I saw a light at the end of my tunnel. If anyone has moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, you know how bothersome signs and symptoms get, how drained and hopeless you can feel. Long story short, you do not feel yourself. Can’t enjoy food, have normal bowel movements, plus your social life, mood and sleep is affected. I’m thankful because Dr. Bernsen took care of me. He offered me medications my previous provider never mentioned. And after 1 tablet of prednisone Dr.Bernsen prescribed, my symptoms improved drastically. I can not say enough of how thankful I am of getting my life back. All my ulcerative colitis signs and symptoms resolved after incorporating a new treatment plan. I can eat normal again, have my energy back, and I do not need to worry about having a bathroom close by. A very grateful patient, A.Opiela"
"Every visit over the years, with Dr. Penn goes very smooth and easy. His explanations are simple and down to earth, easy to understand. Always answers your questions directly. Great personality and bedside manner. I would recommend him to everyone."
"Dr. Greenberg and his staff were supportive and informative, making the entire experience stress free. Besides obviously being a highly regarded member of the medical profession, Dr. Greenberg actually puts patient medical needs ahead of all else. Thus, if a younger member of his group has more expertise in an area that would best benefit the patient, Dr. Greenberg encourages the patient to have his associate take the next step in treating the issue. I think Dr. Greenberg is the epitome of what all doctors should strive to be.... Thorough, informed, caring, willing to discuss all aspects of the situation. Dr.. Greenberg called me from his home one evening to discuss the pathology report and to assure me of the person he wanted me to see for resolving the issue without invasive surgery. He even suggested something to add to the 'prep' to make it more palatable. Highly recommended by me. I don't hand out rave reviews lightly."
"The first time I came to this practice was about 15 years ago. When I recently looked at the names of the doctors in this practice via their website, I think many of them are now unfamiliar to me (newer and younger), but I was happy to see that Dr. Greenberg stayed on. He’s been my doctor from day 1 (2005) when I was first diagnosed with colon cancer. I find Dr. Greenberg to have good listening skills, a gentle, compassionate, and personable doctor.."
"Dr.Chi was great! His bedside manner was so nice, he took his time with me, explaining & answering all my questions .... my procedure went well & I thank him & all the nurses/anesthesiologist who helped me & kept me calm.... I would highly recommend Dr.Chi to all my family & friends."
"From booking my appointment to the office visit all went smoothly. At anytime it was very easy and welcoming to ask a question. A nice friendly staff. A very comfortable setting and all went right on time."
"I have had a few colonoscopies performed by Dr Vainder over the past number of years. During these procedures, I only had a brief pre-op conversation with Dr Vainder until the sedative kicked in. And of course I hardly ever remember his post-op comments since some of the drug residual affected my memory! I did receive a very thorough written follow up with the results of my procedures. However, I recently needed a procedure to check out some acid reflux issues. During my pre-op office consultation and follow up office visits, I finally got to spend some time with him, unencumbered by drugs etc! I found Dr Vainder to be very personable. He talked to me like one of my friends in trying to determine a solution to my issues. I didnt have to listen to a bunch of "medical school speak" that I probably couldnt understand. After he reviewed op results and with input from me, he proposed a plan for a 60 day period and we would evaluate afterwards. No speeches, no lectures, no big medical terms...just a simple straight forward plan. I really appreciated his honesty and genuine interest in solving my problem. I highly recommend Dr Vainder and have been very pleased with his services."
"I have been a patient of Dr.Patel for over a year receiving treatment and education for a number of symptoms and questions. Dr. Patel is a competent, knowledgeable, and a caring specialist. He emphasizes patient education as well as care, modern medicine as well as natural treatments, and a wholistic approach to health care as well as a focus on specific problems. I recommend him most highly."
"Dr. Patel is the real deal. Not only very good at what he does, his bedside manner is wonderful, his staff is wonderful and this what you need. I would Recommend Dr. Patel to anyone in need of a GI doctor."

"Dr. Liebovich has been my doctor for 15 years. He has always been nothing but the best at what he does. He saved my life after liver disease. He has a very friendly personality and his a straight forward and honest approach makes him good at what he does as a doctor. Top of the line guy in my book."
"I felt comfortable with Dr Chi immediately. He was patient with all of my questions and made me feel at ease with the procedure. He took time on the day of my procedure to discuss everything with me again and went above and beyond in a difficult situation. His knowledge and expertise was evident immediately and his expertise unmatched. I highly recommend him."
"Dr Gambla has been my physician for many years and has always provided me with great care. He’s very thorough and takes the time to provide an explanation of his plan of care."
"This Dr. Found a problem that I had, that others doctor's were missing for a very long time. He found gallstones when every dr. that i saw Missed them for several years. He also sent me to dr korsan who discovered that my gallbladder was functioning at 10 percent. I had my gallbladder remove on June 26 of 2020 and I am no longer waking up with that dull pain in my mid stomach. So I thank Dr.chi and Dr. Korsan for a job well done."
"Dr. Patel has been great, I started seeing him after being referred by my primary care Doctor in 2019. His front office team has always been very kind as well and I feel that he really listens to all of my symptoms. Dr. Patel’s greatest quality to me is his honesty. He is capable of giving tough feedback, which may be hard to hear but you know is in your best interest. I have never felt pressured by him to do unnecessary procedures or take medicine i didn’t want to take. When I have asked about switching medicines, he has been knowledgeable about them and open to working with me to find the treatment which is right for me. He has performed an upper endoscopy and a bravo test on me and has informed me of the various options I have to treat my GERD. I trust him as my gastroenterologist and would recommend him to anyone having issues similar to my own. Thank you, Dr. Patel! Sam Sailer"
"I was referred to Dr. Sunil by primary doctor for pain that I have been having on and off for some time now and this was I first visit. I was very impressed with the time and questions Dr. Sunil had to try and figure out what to do next. Extremely nice and very professional ."
"DrPillai is amazing - he is attentive, informative, and so compassionate! How many doctors would personally call you on a Friday night to provide update or results? Sure appointments are tough, but he is worth the wait."
"A most professional group with a professional atmosphere. From the greeting at registration (Celina), to admission recovery nurse (Diane, go Disney), to procedure nurse (Traci) and procedure tech (Karen) you will know that you have selected the best location for your procedure. Dr Stinneford and nurse anesthetist Lynn are the best. Thanks you all to another most enjoyable visit. 5 stars are insufficient."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Wait for seven years now, She has provided me with healthcare that I would not have been abie to recieve any where else! I highly recommend her."

"I’ve been a patient of Dr Victor for many years. My experience has always been very positive. He clearly demonstrates an exceptional medical experience and professional interaction with patients. Clearly caring in his approach and bedside manner. Highly recommended."
"Best doctor experience I've ever had. I went in very sick, having no concrete idea of what was wrong, and Dr. Liebovitch went through my symptoms, told me he thought it was one of two things, and he scheduled the diagnostic colonoscopy/endoscopy that very day. Within two months of that visit, I had a diagnosis and was already receiving infusions and feeling better. I'm very happy to have Dr. Liebovitch as my gastroenterologist."
"My first experience with IGI was a very positive one. Dr. Patel was extremely kind and attentive. He answered all my questions and I never felt that he was in a hurry to end the visit. The Lab people Alan, and Patty were very good at what they did. My blood was drawn effortlessly which is unusual for me. They were very friendly an helpful. I felt like everyone including the front desk truly cared about my well being."
"First met with Dr. Kaiser on September 28, 2020 for a consultation regarding intestinal problems I was experiencing. After a lengthy conversation about my concerns, he suggested we begin with a Colonoscopy then get the results and go from there. I had the colonoscopy a week later, October 7th, and was attended to by Dr. Patel. Procedure went well, and I was contacted by I.G. office nurse on Friday, October 9th that my diagnosis was Lymphocytic Colitis and a steroid was being ordered for me that I was to take daily for 8 weeks and that would hopefully take care of the inflammation problem in my large intestine. But alas, my insurance would not cover the cost of the medicine even though it was generic. At this point, October 13th I am still awaiting a response from Dr. Patel's office, or Dr. khaiser's office, or Walgreens regarding what the next step is."
"Dr. Glaws cares for my son. I am currently a patient as well. We have Crohn's disease. Glaws knows his stuff when it comes to the GI tract. He listens to his patients and understands what works for one person, doesn't always work for another."
"AMAZING. Not only was the front staff really sweet but Dr. Glaws was a second opinion for me and I’m so grateful. He was very attentive and actually had an explanation and solution for my stomach problem that no other doctor was able to solve. He started me on this vitamin that has been working incredible. I would recommend Dr. Glaws to everyone! I would still be in bed severely ill if it wasn’t for his help!! Thank you Dr. Glaws!"
"Dr. Sable is simply outstanding. She is patient, she both listens and hears what her patients are telling her. She carefully describes what she will be doing before she examines you, describes each step and its goal as she examines you and what she's learning from it, she describes her assessments after the exam, solicits feedback, then works with you to lay out a plan of treatment. In an era of doctors who seemingly vie to outdo each other in minimum level of interaction and care, she stands out as an example of how doctors should practice. Thank goodness!"

"(Translated by Google) If I keep coming back to that clinic, it is because he treats me very well, in every sense of the word, he is a great doctor, and I really highly recommend him.
