"It's all about the people. I trust Dr. Godambe. She is very professional but also friendly. The entire medical and clerical staff is the same way. I believe attitude is a reflection of leadership. They were efficient, friendly, and made me forget about the 12 hours of prep prior to my colonoscopy. lol."
"Dr Robinson and his staff was the best experience! From my first consultation to the actual colonoscopy. He provides information in a calm and assured way so you don’t feel afraid or uncertain. His staff at the desk & nurses are absolutely amazing, professional and friendly-even though there are many patients at one time. They treat everyone as a special person. Please don’t stop this needed doctor /patient model. It is appreciated."
"People were nice. Everything was on time. Everything was explained to me. Don't know how a colonoscopy could have been better than that."
"Dr. Stinneford is a wonderful doctor and human being. He’s an amazing listener, which seems increasingly rare these days. He was very competent, professional and kind. His staff was also fantastic. I had to have an endoscopy and a colonoscopy and the entire process went very smoothly. I’ve been to many gastroenterologists over the years, all around the country, and he’s one of the best!"
"This was one unexpected surprise. A doctor that’s on-time, listens, explains and is extremely intelligent and beyond bright. Dr. Liebovich did both my colonoscopy as well as endoscopy and it was a million more times precise then a few years ago with my previous physician. Dr.. Liebovich is confident, talented and reassuring. He explained all my medical concerns & procedures in great detail and he has a natural ability to show genuine compassion and concern. A very very fine physician and tbh, a very nice man. I’m extremely grateful to have met him and even more so to have had him skillfully do my procedures."
"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Carl Robinson for years and I appreciate his care and value his opinion. Recently he performed my recent colonoscopy and upper GI and Dr. Robinson is ALWAYS informative. I know I always have tons of questions about my health, and he really takes his time and never rushed, about making sure I have the answers to my questions and that I understand everything clearly. Also, the surgical staff is awesome. Thanks to them all for making all the patients feel comfortable before and after their procedures. It doesn’t go unnoticed, so kudos to you all!"
"Can't tell how good a doctor he is, but He was a nice man, but couldn't treat me without the endoscopy and colonoscopy and when they called me to setup those appointments, they couldn't do it till September so I'm trying to find someone who can do it sooner, as I'm experiencing pain, but he was very nice."
"I LOVE Dr. Kosmala! He did a colonoscopy on me today and the experience was very positive. From the nurse's, anesthesiologist, and everyone else were amazing. But Dr. Kosmala is a true gem in my book. GREAT GUY!"
"DR : SILVA AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY KIND N PROFESSIONALS! DR SILVA PERFORMED MY ENDONOSCOPY ALSO COLONOSCOPY HE HAS BEEN MY DR FOR MANY YEARS. DEFINITELY I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MY DR TO MY FAMILY N FRIENDS . SINCERELY, MRS :ORTEGA"

"A great place to have a colonoscopy performed."
"I recently completed my first colonoscopy with Dr. Bernsen and everyone on the team at the Arlington Heights office was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional from the registration process through recovery. i also appreciated the follow up calls the next day and I highly recommend this group for any needed procedures."
"I would highly recommend Dr. Eli Kuga and his staff. From start to finish, EVERYONE was caring and professional! Dr. Kuga explained everything and listened to my concerns. I have recommended him and the facility to my family and friends. I was scared to have my procedure and EVERYONE from check-in to check-out, were fabulous and eased my worry! If you haven't made your colonoscopy appointment, please do so with Dr. Eli Kuga and his staff at GI Alliances, Peoria, Illinois."
"I had my third colonoscopy with Dr Kuga. This time u did it without anesthesia an was very glad I did. There was slight discomfort but without the anesthesia it was a much faster process."
"I came to see Dr. Robinson based on a referral from my primary doctor. His staff was friendly and courteous. Dr. Robinson and I talked about my previous colonoscopy and he gave me very good information and we discussed future treatment. I learned more from him in a single visit than I had in over a year. Great bedside manner and very nice."
"Dr Joseph patiently answered all my questions and met all my expectations. Just do your prep religiously before your colonoscopy"
"Dr Kuga did my colonoscopy in 2019 and is and is about to do an endoscopy on me. He and every one in his office was kind. Utilize him if you can; you will be satisfied."
"I have known dr. Pillai for roughly six years. He took care of my wife when she had cancer, and he took care of my colonoscopy and he's currently taking care of other things for me. I'm glad I found him, he's the best!"
"(Translated by Google) This is the second colonoscopy, but the doctor was very kind, asked detailed questions, and explained things well, so I felt comfortable and liked it. (Original) 대장검사는 두번째인데 닥터가 아주 친절하고 자세하게 묻고 설명을 잘해주셔서 마음이 편하고 좋았다"
"Dr. Horowitz talked to me prior to my colonoscopy to answer any questions I had which made me feel comfortable. Dr Horowitz and his staff were all very professional, caring, and friendly. They made my first colonoscopy great."
"Very efficient. The NP, Lauren Smith had read my chart before the visit. Listened attentively and made good suggestions to ease some of my symptoms. I was easy schedule for an upcoming EGD in a timely manner. This was my 1st visit to this office and I would score everyone as a 10/10."
"I had a colonoscopy and it was short and easy."
"Dr. Sun, the anesthesiologist, and the nurses & staff here are exceptional! I was there for my first ever colonoscopy - nervous, as one might imagine - and everyone was absolutely courteous, pleasant, thorough, and professional. While I am not exactly 'looking forward' to my next visit, I know that I will be in good and capable hands with Dr. Sun and his team of awesome folks!"
"Dr. Gambla performed an upper & lower endoscopy when I was hospitalized at Sherman Hospital. He was thorough and found I had a tumor in my ileum. This was because he believes in a thorough colonoscopy! He gave years of my symptoms a cause, and saved my life! Thank you Dr. Gambla"
"Quick, comfortable colonoscopy procedure and the staff was very friendly and helpful."
"Met with Dr. Moxon for pre surgery consultation. He was very open about my procedures and answered all my questions. Also he asked several times if I had anymore questions. I felt he was really concerned for me. He has always made my feel comfortable and important. This is the doctor to see if colonoscopy and or endoscopy’s scare you. He will put your concerns to rest. Patti Lohr"
"Excellent doctor, great bedside manner. I’ve had colonoscopies done with him and will be having a procedure done soon, and I am very confident in his skills and knowledge. Only downside was that I had a small co-pay for a colonoscopy, which has never happened before. Okay so I had my procedure and all went well!! Very happy patient here!"
"Dr. Ballard and his entire team was phenomenal. This was my first time getting a colonoscopy and I was super nervous however they helped me to relax and explained the entire process. He also answered all of my questions. BIG Thanks! My overall experience was an A+++ 🙏"
"Dr. Patel has seen me for endoscopy & colonoscopy work. He has always taken his time to explain the procedures and the findings. Dr. Patel is very competent and personable. Sincerely, al bragg"
"Dr. Victor is amazing. Takes all the fear away in less than a minute. My 3rd colonoscopy with Dr. Victor was pretty much exactly the same as the other two. Such an easy and comfortable process with a great bunch of professionals who get you in and out with care and precision. Highly recommend."
"The nurses were all friendly and accommodating. The anesthesiologist went through the process with me and was also a nice man. Dr Christopoulos was very professional and gave me the the results in terms I could understand. I have to give a shout out to Debbie, one of the receptionists. I was very upset when I got there, because we got lost on the way there and I had to go the bathroom really really badly. She walked me around the facility to calm me down so my BP was not over the top. It must have worked because my BP was 135/60 before the procedure. Though having a colonoscopy (especially the prep) is not a walk in the park, the staff there was exceptionally efficient as well as compassionate."
"Prepping for my first Colonoscopy wasn't easy. The day of my appointment all the staff treated me with such compassion and kindness. They answered my questions and calmed my fears and worry. I felt like family. I felt at ease. Everything went well! Dr. Pillai and all of his staff were amazing. Highly recommended!"
"Dr. Horowitz and staff couldn't be nicer. It was a pleasure to be treated as a human and not just one of the numerous patients they see on a daily basis. Brandi and Nancy were so upbeat and a pleasure to be taken care of by. While more and more staff at doctor's offices act like you are an inconvenience, this staff is the exact opposite. Having a colonoscopy is not anything anyone looks forward to--this staff is what should be the template for other offices to base themselves off of."
"Dr D'Astice is well qualified and does his homework on each patient, over 10 years ago I was throwing up blood and didn't know what the problem was, he did tests, upper GI and put me on the right medicine, about a year ago I had to have a colonoscopy done, there was a complication , nothing life threatening but he made the precautions and finished the procedure, I have to say this Doctor I'd professional and his "bedside" manner is one of the best, you feel very comfortable, and happy , he makes you feel very assured of the information he tells you , thanks again for your service."
"Dr. Rjesh Pillai is an excellent highly educated doctor that has treated me for years and during my yearly checkup caught early stage Colon cancer. He also has treated me for Celiac for years. I value his knowledge and caring manner."
"Dr. Shapiro spend with me as much time as needed, paid attention to all details of my story during that visit. Also we discussed my current situation with pills and decided about the next colonoscopy visit. I was answered to all my questions and concerns so I was very satisfied with my visit."
"This was my first colonoscopy and I am very pleased with the care and level of communication of all proffessionals."
"I had a colonoscopy done. Dr. Ballard and his team were very professional and made everything comfortable. I would highly recommend him and his office."
"Perfect experience with my colonoscopy by Dr Vainder. Medical excellence with a personal touch."
"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."
"This is the place I use for my colonoscopy. Have been seeing Brynn Cinnamon this year when my gastroenterologist was unavailable. She is totally awesome, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend this practice."
"Colonoscopy went very well."
"Very friendly staff. I felt well informed about what to expect with my colonoscopy."
"I was very impressed from the registration process, the procedure "prep" and the follow up later that morning. Everyone was very courteous and professional, yet very caring and aware this is not something the customers do everyday. Dr Christopoulos had excellent follow up after the procedure. As one wise man used to say...It's not everyday I go to get a colonoscopy, but when I do, I go to the IL Gastroenterology group/ Northwest Endoscopy Center in Arlington Heights. Highly recommend."
"Dr Aaron Benson and his staff are the best.I had a great experience with my endoscopy and colonoscopy . I would highly recommend him. The nurses are accommodating and very professional."
"I have been using this group for all my colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures and have been very impressed with the efficiency of the staff and the professional attitude . Dr Muscarello is wonderful. Listens to your concerns and answers completely. Works with you to reach a solution for your problem"
"Dr.Moxon has done a previous Colonoscopy for me..The Staff was Polite, professional and very pleasant..! Im scheduled for my 2nd Colonoscopy in January..! I Highly recommend them..!"
"This was a "new" doctor for me to perform my colonoscopy. We had a nice chat and I received excellent care! I would most definitely recommend Dr. Wu to anyone else."
"He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He listened to all my issues. Not that anyone looks forward to getting a colonoscopy and upper scope done at the same time but, I'm hopeful he will find what is wrong with me."
"Having a colonoscopy is not really something anybody ever wants to do. Dr. Victor was incredibly kind, explaining clearly everything that I should expect to happen during the procedure. Following, he was very reassuring. His staff greeted and cared for me with great kindness and care. I would highly recommend Illinois Gastroenterology Group."
"I recently had a colonoscopy. The prep was the hardest part. Once arriving for my appt. the staff was most pleasant and set me at ease. Dr Robert Lee visited before and after the procedure. He was relaxed, took time to answer my questions and was very informative. I would highly recommend him."
"Dr. Al-Rashdan is very professional, friendly and helpful. The staff was very nice and took the time to answer all my questions. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a colonoscopy."
"I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Victor and staff. Recommend 1000%. The entire staff was so kind. Dr. Victor met with me personally before and after my colonoscopy. He was wonderful. The entire procedure was seamless."
"Dr. Joseph’s practice is a well oiled machine. Extremely competent knowledgeable and organized. In addition, the entire staff is very friendly, caring and helpful in answering any questions or concerns. The experience at this office will take away any apprehension of having a colonoscopy. Cathy Neuhalfen"
"1st time (hopefully last) getting a colonoscopy. Went to the SW Highway facility. Every single person from the front desk every single nurse the anesthesiologist and Dr Arndt were so nice and made the entire experience very easy!! Thank you everyone!"
"I recently had a colonoscopy with my gastroenterologist, Jeffrey Victor. My experience from start to finish was outstanding. His office staff were very welcoming, thorough, and efficient. Dr. Victor and his staff answered all my questions."
"The staff here was so very friendly & nice which made having the colonoscopy much easier!"
"I recently had to have an office visit with Dr. Bernsen before my colonoscopy. It was nice to see him since it has been 5 years but I haven’t been required to do the visit for a long time. I have no symptoms & he has my history but apparently this is a new requirement. It wasn’t a big inconvenience because his office is near. All the information gathered could have been handled over the phone. Everyone was pleasant & efficient."
"Love the nurses here, so kind, friendly and compassionate. I personally wouldn’t go to anyone else for a colonoscopy as Dr Patel listens and is also very kind."
"I felt that Dr. Wu and his team were extremely professional. Actually, it was a remarkable experience because Dr. Wu had needed to leave the office for a period that day and I was the last colonoscopy for that day and he worked hard to make it back to the practice just to be sure he could handle my colonoscopy personally. He could have easily had another physician do it, but he didn't. I felt that it demonstrated both care for me and a spirit of excellence regarding his work and work ethic. I will definitely encourage any of my friends who need a colonoscopy to go to Dr. Wu."
"Very nice and experienced doctor for colonoscopy exam. He gave me very clear explanations and next action for my concern."
"Edit 2: received a call back shortly following my first edit below. Dr Cahill was gracious with her time and explained the results as well as treatment options with me. EDIT: Although Dr. Cahill is wonderful, I need to edit down my review. It’s been 12 days since my procedure and I still have not received results from my biopsy. Dr. Cahill has been so good to me during my treatment with continuing digestive issues. She does not “push” any certain treatment or test but rather takes the time to review all options. Dr. Cahill is also very conscientious of insurance coverage so that there are no major unexpected out of pocket charges. Aside from all of this, Dr. Cahill has made me feel very comfortable in spite of how awkward it can be to discuss digestive issues and undergo a colonoscopy. I’ve never once felt embarrassed with her and that I appreciate so much!"
"Update: From the time I made the first phone call to the time the procedure was done was 3 months. I stuck with them because although the scheduling process is in need of a re-do, the doctors are great. If I didn’t complain on Google I’m not sure I would have ever got through. So I am changing my stars from 1 to 4. Doctors are great, scheduling process needs to be simplified more. At least return phone calls. 1st post: I called to make an appt then I was told they will call us in 10-14 days to ask about my medical history, then it would go on the desk of a doctor to approve a colonoscopy which will take 10-14 days and someone will call to schedule a colonoscopy. Well they never called. I’ve left several messages and got no call back."
"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."
"I went for a routine colonoscopy. I was treated well by everyone. Dr Treanor is wonderful, caring doctor."
"Dr. Patel was very informative and direct about the Colonoscopy procedure and made me feel very comfortable before and after the procedure. He answered all of my questions and acted in a very professional manner. Thank you Dr. Patel !!!"
"Dr. Kuga and the staff at the Central Illinois Endoscopy Center provided excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Kuga. I had my second colonoscopy at the facility under Dr. Kuga"s care. The procedure is quick, the atmosphere is professional and streamlined and Dr. Kuga exhibits a good bedside manner, and communicates the procedure and results very well."
"So when you think of having a colonoscopy it’s a bit frightening… unless you have Dr Kuga leading the procedure! He cares and answers questions and make this procedure a bit less difficult!"
"Not the test I look forward to, but if you need a colonoscopy this is the guy to go to. Super nice guy and very professional."
"Dr Greenberg saw me for a general follow up appointment after providing care to me for the first time when I was admitted to the hospital. Although he said a follow up wasn't necessary he still accepted me as a new patient and took the time to answer all my questions. Never once did I feel he was rushing me off and he really made me feel cared for as a patient. His office was also able to schedule me a colonoscopy just 2 months after my hospital admission which I was very surprised and pleased with!"
"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. 👍"
"This is my second colonoscopy with Dr. Arndt (10 years apart). I find him to be friendly, kind and competent. He makes a pre procedure call to explain everything and answer questions. I found the prep tolerable and not too harsh. The day of the procedure went smoothly. The staff is outstanding… professional, kind and reassuring. Dr. Arndt was wonderful as I have come to expect. I also appreciate receiving anesthesia from a CRNA (who was exceptional). The procedure went as expected and I was home in less than two hours. I received follow up communication from Dr. Arndt and the office staff. I am grateful to Dr. Arndt and the team. Thank you."
"I got a colonoscopy done today with Dr Bernsen. I was very satisfied with his bedside manners, and his staff. Everyone was very pleasant! I'm so happy I found a GI doctor I feel I can trust!"
"I had a colonoscopy done with Dr Elkhatib and it went great! He is a fantastic doctor. He is kind, attentive, professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"Explain the task thoroughly. Answered my questions the procedure went very smoothly came in and spoke to me after the procedure and talked with me about the plan of care post colonoscopy. Very nice and down to earth"
"Dr Gupta has been my moms doctor as well as mine and my husbands. We continue to see Dr Gupta for his kind nature, excellent patient care and good bed side manner. He continues to make the colonoscopy experience stress free. His staff have always been very professional and kind."
"I founded Dr Levi's to be a real nice professional guy u just had my colonoscopy done by him last week in fact I gotta call him tomorrow but if your looking for a real nice professional Dr he's it"
"Dr. Shapiro and his entire team were professional and comforting on the day of my colonoscopy. They are also good w/ follow up. I highly recommend Dr. Shapiro."
"Exceptional service for colonoscopy procedure, highly recommend Dr. Kaplan and his staff."
"I would highly recommend Dr Victor and his caring staff if you need a colonoscopy! They can perform this procedure in his new operating room office which makes it all about you! He is a wonderful guy and his nursing staff make you feel comfortable and cared for."
"Very efficient process of registration for a colonoscopy. Friendly professional staff."
"Dr. Misra is pleasant and professional, especially nice since a colonoscopy isn't anyone's idea of a fun time! (Cynthia Wurmnest)"
"My husband & I just had our Colonoscopies done 2 weeks apart by Dr. Vincent Muscarello at his Oak Lawn office. You couldn't ask for a more professional staff from the moment you walk into his office to the point of discharge. We were treated with kindness and compassion by all staff members. We have been going to Dr. Muscarello for our EGD's and Colonoscopies for the past 25 years. We feel as if he's part of our family. His knowledge and medical skills, as well as his compassion in the GI field are exemplary. If we could, we would give him more than 5⭐'s❤"
"Dr. Robinson and his staff are TOP NOTCH indeed!!My minor procedure was just that....MINOR AND PAINLESS!!LOL!He does a PHENOMENAL job and hopefully if any else occurs health wise unto myself, I won't hesitate to request for Dr. Robinson again!!Fantastic job Doc as well as the entire Operating staff that performed my minor procedure (Colonoscopy)."
"Dr. Liebovich provided me with an excellent experience for my colonoscopy. I was very nervous that morning but once I met him and spoke for a few minutes with him I became much calmer and he made the procedure quick and painless. Would recommend him to anyone that needs the services he offers. Thanks also to the staff at Condel."
"Very nice staffing. Of all my colonoscopy, I have to say this was the best and very quick. Dr. Lee was awesome and touch base on my procedures. Would highly recommend, your service. God Blessed you and the staff."
"I have recommended Dr. Douglas Adler to friends and recommend him to anyone reading this review. Dr. Adler analyzed my issue and prescribed medicine that has kept me me remission for decades. When I need a colonoscopy Dr Adler is on time, upbeat and most importantly thorough with the procedure."
"This was my third Colonoscopy performed by Dr Lue. All three were a good experience. Dr Lue and his staff couldn’t have treater me any better."
"Dr Adler is very good with people.I feel very comfortable with him.He is very efficient and understanding.I would recommend him to anyone who needs a Colonoscopy."
"Performed my 4th colonoscopy with no adverse effects. Top notch doctor. Explained everything well."
"This was my very first colonoscopy and the staff made me feel comfortable, they were kind, my procedure was quick and painless. I’d definitely recommend to family and friends."
"Dr Victor and his staff have taken care of me for 12 years. I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2010 and I was only 38. Dr Victor was there for me and always remembers that day - his staff demonstrated empathy for me and my family. 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. Dorfmeister was very professional, explained everything well, and answered all of my questions. Please get your colonoscopy screening, and see Dr. Dorfmeister."
"I had a visit with Dr. Vainder for stomach issues and his bedside manner is top notch. He’s funny and warm. I also had a colonoscopy with him and all went well. Definitely recommend him…"
"Dr. Janda is an excellent doctor and wonderful person. He has treated my mom, aunt, dad and I for years. He helped my aunt overcome colon cancer and was a great support, and skillful and knowledgeable physician during my dad’s battle with cancer. Dr. Janda is personable, kind and genuinely cares for the well being of his patients. He even came to the office on a Saturday when no one else was there to see me and some other patients in need. I highly recommend Dr. Janda!!"
"I know Dr.Calandra for over 10+ years. I have no problem communication with him and also discuss about medicine and colonoscopy procedure too. I will continue to see him whenever need to make an appointment again in near future. James Denz"
"I have been seeing Dr. Clark for several years. He has done my colonoscopys for several times. He is very friendly and caring. I think that he is the best around. I am always comfortable discussing things with him."
"My experience was so outstanding I can hardly wait for my next colonoscopy! Dr. Patel was terrific and the staff assisting were amazing. What a great team of professionals working together."
"I recently had my colonoscopy done at his office location instead of a hospital. Great decision. Parking was easy. The staff was fantastic. Friendly, courteous, caring, professional and more. Made me at ease and very comfortable. The doctor is also very good. Explains everything in detail and never makes you feel rushed. Highly recommend him"

"I’m heading into my 3rd colonoscopy and trust Dr Patel to do the very best he can for me."

"Fantastic doctor. He made the colonoscopy experience easy. I refer him to all my friends and family. We all love him!!"
"best doctor for colonoscopy in best hospital"
"Dr. Kaiser seems to have a great bedside manner about himself. It was my first time meeting him and we didn't have a chance to talk much to each before my procedure and by the time I was awake, he was already on to the next patient so we didn't talk at all after the procedure. However, his team of nurses were wonderful! In particular, Regina, Patsy and Naomi. I hope I got the names right. They were very attentive. Regina even noticed that one of my earrings was missing from my ear! Turns out, it was at home because I had not put it in my ear in the first place! Lol. Dr. Gangu, who was amazing, was my original gastroenterologist, but he retired and I heard that Dr. K will be retiring soon. So by the time I need another colonoscopy, I'll have a new doctor. I'm sure that doctor will be just as nice, but hopefully will have time after the procedure to talk with me. 😊"
"My colonoscopy was a total non event! Very easy! Dr. Janda was very professional, as was his staff."
"Dr.Kaplan and his staff were extremely caring and professional during and leading up to my colonoscopy. All directions were clear and concise prior to the procedure. Staff was excellent. Dr Kaplan was great during the procedure and took the time to explain the results and answer my questions. Am very grateful I found Dr.Kaplan to help me manage my healthHealthcare."
"Dr Sonia Godambe is small but knows her stuff. She's very accommodating and very gentle too. Her staff, and anesthesiologist are top notch and very welcoming too. Wierd as this may sound, I actually don't mind getting a colonoscopy. They actually make it a pleasureable experience."
"This was my first Colonoscopy and Endoscopy, the staff here was extremely professional and caring! They definitely reduced my anxiety 🙂"
"I had a Colonoscopy with Dr Sunil! The spinner was on time! Staff was great! Dr answered all my questions prior to the procedure. I would Definately recommend Illinois Gastroenterology!!"
"I was so nervous being my first colonoscopy. He made me feel very comfortable."
"Dr. Raddawi was the first doctor to make us feel better and taken care of after we found out my husband had colon cancer. It was a very difficult day, but Dr. Raddawi’s words that day gave us hope and much needed comfort. I will forever be thankful to him."
"Dr Penn is passionate about eradicating colon cancer. High energy and explains everything in a way that anyone can understand."

"Was recommended to Dr. Joseph my Rheumatologist as I needed to have my first colonoscopy since I was in my late 40s. He said Dr. Joseph was very caring and a good doctor to get the procedure done with. Dr. Joseph addressed all my concerns, explained the procedure, and was given all the prep and instructions for the procedure ahead of time. The night before the procedure, the prep solution was not as bad as I thought it would be. On the day of the procedure, everything went well as it could. The anesthesia was good and I never knew what happened or felt any part of the colonoscopy procedure. Felt like I dozed off for a few minutes, was awake 45 minutes later and went home. No complications whatsoever. Would highly recommend Dr. Joseph to others for your colonoscopy."

He came in before and again after the procedure to report his findings. I highly recommend Dr. Wu and his staff."
"Dr. Godambe is professional, knowledgeable, and talented. She actually listens to you and doesn’t put you in a box based on your age, gender, previous history. As a physically fit 25 year old, I don’t think she expected to see a 6 cm polyp in my sigmoid colon. But she was able to remove ALL of it during my colonoscopy! She took the time to communicate the pathology results even when she said was on a vacation, and she actually thanked me for being proactive about my health. We were both so thrilled that we caught it early— she cares about the whole picture of your health and it’s obvious she loves what she does for a living."

I highly recommend Dr. Patel."
"Dr. Arndt and his team were wonderful. He made me relax with the little humor he displayed before the procedure. The nurses in the back area, Diane, Jewel, Maddie and the other nurse ( I can't remember her name) made me feel welcomed and at ease. I had a few questions and they patiently and professionally answered them. They never made me feel like I was bothering or irritating them, which is more than I can say for one of the other ladies who works in the office The office was very clean as well.

"Great experience and care- they made my first colonoscopy as easy as possible"
"I was anxious about my first colonoscopy, but Dr. Kuga and his staff placed me totally at ease. The procedure went exactly as Dr. Kuga said it would. He explained the procedure thoroughly before the colonoscopy even using a wall chart to help me understand exactly what he would be doing. Dr. Kuga and his staff are kind, courteous, and very patient. They realize that having a colonoscopy is probably the last thing that anyone wants to be doing at any given day or time. I highly recommend his practice!"
"Was reminded over and over by my also wonder family doctor that I need colonoscopy done now behind three years due to covid. So once ready to plan a whole day feet's from my toilet to plan afternoon with Dr. Eli Kuga M. D. mostly unconscious. He was explained things before andvery assuring before they put me out.

"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."
"When it's time for my colonoscopy I put my complete trust in Dr. Shapiro. He always makes me feel comfortable and well cared for. He is a true professional."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Victor for over 10 years . He is professional, takes the time to answer my questions and cares about my health. I appreciate all the work his staff did to make the colonoscopy as easy of a process that it could be. I would definitely recommend Dr. Victor and his team to other prospective patients."
"Dr. Victor is an excellent doctor. I had a particular concern and his office was able to get my appointment scheduled within the same week! At my appointment, he listened to my concern and scheduled my colonoscopy on the spot, himself, within 2 weeks. The procedure at Valley Ambulatory was very professional, quick and painless. Every visit or procedure I’ve had with Dr. Victor has been positive. His demeanor, while professional, is very warm and caring. He takes the time to really listen to concerns and to get to know the patient on a human level, not just as a number coming through. Dr. Victor is the one who caught my Type 2 diabetes and diagnosed an unusual issue within my esophagus that was completely unknown to me. I’m highly confident that he would find any issue present and treat it successfully. I can’t say enough about his skill, care and efficiency and I more than highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellence."

"Dr. Moxon met with me and asked pinpointing questions to narrow the possible causes of my inconsistent urgencies. He followed up through a patient portal to continue with assisting in identifying dietary causes for the next several weeks before he would schedule the colonoscopy. This reassured me he was interested in finding the root cause and improve my quality of life in the long-run."
"This was my third colonoscopy procedure with Dr Moxon. Outside of the prep, all three were painless and took less than an hour. I highly recommend him for his very professional approach and demeanor."

Dr Arndt makes his patients feel as if they’re his only patient. ❤️"
