"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 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."
"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. 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"
"IN and OUT, in no time!! Zero discomfort or pain with the colonoscopy. Dr. Penn and his staff were professional and courteous."
"Had colonoscopy performed by Dr. WU, good results and minimum inconvenience. Doctor and personnel were super effecient."
"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 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."
"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."
"Dr Joseph patiently answered all my questions and met all my expectations. Just do your prep religiously before your colonoscopy"
"(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"
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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"
"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!"
"Quick, comfortable colonoscopy procedure and the staff was very friendly and helpful."
"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."
"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. 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. 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."
"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!"
"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. 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."
"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+++ 🙏"
"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"
"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."
"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."
"Perfect experience with my colonoscopy by Dr Vainder. Medical excellence with a personal touch."
"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."
"This was my first colonoscopy and I am very pleased with the care and level of communication of all proffessionals."
"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."
"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."
"Colonoscopy went very well."
"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"
"Very friendly staff. I felt well informed about what to expect with my colonoscopy."
"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..!"
"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."
"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."
"The staff here was so very friendly & nice which made having the colonoscopy much easier!"
"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."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Very efficient process of registration for a colonoscopy. Friendly professional staff."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"Exceptional service for colonoscopy procedure, highly recommend Dr. Kaplan and his staff."
"Dr. Misra is pleasant and professional, especially nice since a colonoscopy isn't anyone's idea of a fun time! (Cynthia Wurmnest)"
"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."
"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)."
"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❤"
"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."
"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."
"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. 👍"
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"I went for a routine colonoscopy. I was treated well by everyone. Dr Treanor is wonderful, caring doctor."
"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"
"I just had my first ever visit to a Gastroenterologist after receiving a positive diagnosis to a Cologuard test. Dr Sun appeared to be very professional, and explained what various results could mean. His office staff was also very courteous and efficient, especially the person who scheduled my Colonoscopy."
"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."
"I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his staff if you are in need of a colonoscopy. I was nervous for weeks leading up to my procedure. Dr. Patel and his staff were great at calming my fears and efficient with completing the procedure. I was in and out in approximately an hour and a half!"
"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."
"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!!"
"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."

"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."
"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."
"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. 😊"
"Great experience except for the fact it was a colonoscopy."
"I recently had a colonoscopy done by Dr. Janda. He was so calm and reassuring. He took the time To come in before the procedure to reassure me everything would be fine. His calm and patience made me feel very much at ease. He is a wonderful doctor and a wonderful man!"
"I would highly recommend Dr. Kevin Liebovich, M.D. He is very thorough and a very knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. He's hand down the "Best"! Please schedule an appointment with him for your Colonoscopy and EGD. 👍"
"Dr. Gambla did my colonoscopy 10 yrs ago and is my physician of choice again"
"I recently had a colonoscopy with Dr Stinneford. Hes plain awesome at what he does. He was on time and the colonoscopy went smooth. Staff was extremely nice. I would recommend Dr Stinneford to anyone looking for a Gastroenterology Dr. Hes very nice and actually seems to love what he does. I will go there again and again. His place runs like a fine watch. Very smooth process."
"Dr. Sun is pleasant and explains the colonoscopy procedure in easy terms. Felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend anyone to see Dr. Sun."

"My colonoscopy experience went very well! Dr Bernsen is very attentive and kind. He took the time to explain things and answered my questions. Would highly recommend going to him!"
"All though colonoscopy prep is not the most pleasant, Dr Clark and his staff are very personable and professional. I highly recommend them!"
"Fast & efficient! As pleasant as a colonoscopy can be."
"I went to see Dr. Sunil Joseph for the first time after Dr. Asghar Syed sent me to him with my lab report for the Colonoscopy. I found him as a kind, humble, and humorous gentleman man who truly listens to his patients. His staff was very helpful, polite, warm, and quick responders; assigned me to a recent date for the procedure due to my condition of having rapid weight loss, arthritis and very low in iron and hemoglobin.

"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."
"Dr. Kuga was amazing and will return to him in the coming years for my next colonoscopy. He was very professional and made me feel comfortable. His staff was great as well and very helpful!"
"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 have gone to Dr. Gambla for 15+ years. He is the nicest guy and a great doctor. My colonoscopy last week went very smoothly with clear, concise results. The admission nurse, Nathan, was good and fun; and the anesthesiologist, Tracey, was efficient and helped keep your mind occupied. Colonoscopies are not fun but this one was about as good as it gets."

Dr. Patel called me before the procedure to go over my health history and to explain what was going to happen. He is a kind and compassionate doctor with a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr. Patel."
"Overall it was a great experience. Dr. Arndt and his entire staff were very professional and caring.They explain everything and help putting you at ease.If you are hesitating having this procedure I would only say-DON’T WAIT! The peace of mind after the procedure is priceless. The prep is a necessary inconvenience. The colonoscopy doesn’t take long- It is over before you realize it"
"I felt very at ease during and I felt well taken care of by the doctor and staff. They are professional, thorough and helped me become comfortable. I would recommend this team and Dr Patel and I will continue colonoscopy’s with Dr Patel. He also gave me a personal phone call prior to the procedure. Very happy and healthy!!"

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. I would highly recommend Dr. Arndt for his professionalism and expertise, as he thoroughly explained the results of my Colonoscopy."
"Dr. Janda's support/nursing staff was amazing from beginning to end (phone calls, setting me up as a new patient, etc) . . . a refreshing change from my last Gastroenterologist's office. Dr. Janda was kind . . . good bedside manner. Best colonoscopy experience I've had . . . my 4th one."
"Needed to have a colonoscopy performed, and had no idea what Dr to use. I harbored some concerns as the last colonoscopy I had (some years back) was not a "good experience" at all.Friend recommened Dr. D'Astice. Contacted his office to schedule. Thus began a wonderful experience dealing with 3 ladies in his office, Michelle, Tammy& Yolanda. Over the next 2 1/2 months, They worked with me on the phone, answering questions and preparing me for the prep. Everyone treated me with respect and dignity, and the procedure went well. Dr. D'Astice and his entire staff (including the anesthesiologist) were great. A hearty Thank You to all."
"I went to see the Nurse Practitioner Lauren Smith. MY GI Doctor is Dr. Lue who is absolutely wonderful but I have to say I felt my visit with the Nurse Practitioner was very good. She was very understanding and thorough and quickly began organizing test and answering medication questions I had, Explained things very well and took the time with me that made me feel important and cared about. I ended up having an EGD done by Dr. Lue who is also a very nice person and compassionate Doctor. I don't think I could fine better healthcare .My whole experience with this office was great, even the front desk people and schedulers."
"My 1st colonoscopy and I can’t wait to come back! So much easier than what I thought thanks to Dr. Shapiro and his team. Prompt, polite, and they even made me laugh."

"Dr. Blumenstein was very kind and professional. This was my first colonoscopy and everything went great. One of my Yoga friends told me that she knew someone who had her colon perforated in a few places after her procedure. Dr. Blumenstein has never done such a thing neither to myself nor my husband. He is always nice to both of us. Monica E. Jones"
"2nd time having a colonoscopy with Dr. Horowitz--efficient procedure, woke up quickly from anesthesia. Given a copy of my results immediately. Will return to Dr. Horowitz."

Everyone in the team will explain what they will be doing, this made me feel at easy. After the procedure the doctor explained how everything went through the process. Excellent experience."
"Most efficiently run Healthcare facility I have ever been in. The facility was spotless and everything ran like clockwork from check-in to Dr. Wu's procedure. The staff was very well trained and very personable. Dr. Wu checked in with me prior to surgery and immediately after the colonoscopy and reported the results. My wife had the same outstanding treatment and was very impressed."
"One of my better experiences while having a colonoscopy. The facilities were clean and the staff was very professional."
"Dr. Janda has many years of experience and has very good "bedside manners." He made me feel comfortable and explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a clear, concise manner. Staff at his office were all friendly and professional. I recommend Dr. Janda to anyone who needs gastrointestinal care."
"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. 👍"
"very good vary. caring excellant skillful m.d. Dr i strongly. recamend. him for colonoscopy"
"In the past I am here Dr. Shapiro and he has done a good job. I trust him he’s very professional and he’s thorough and very honest. I am in the process of having a colonoscopy and an EGD this month and I have total trust in his ability to do an excellent job"
"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. I wouldn't go to anyone else and I would strongly recommend her if youou are looking for an excellent gastroenterologist."
"I had my colonoscopy done by Dr Vainder and he’s great. He did an awesome job and explained everything to me. Very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. Thank you and God bless you."
"Dr. Adler is a genuinely nice person and did a great job of explaining things to me. Excellent doctor! He really knows his stuff. Everyone working at his office is super nice and polite and most importantly competent. Considering we have been going through a pandemic, I give them extra kudos and also to the folks at the Glen Endoscopy Center where I had my colonoscopy. Everybody was so professional and efficient and kind."
"Had a colonoscopy done with Dr Carl Robinson. The procedure was done in office which has a surgical room. Everything was very clean and neat. The nursing staff was absolutely comforting. This was the first procedure I have ever had and the nurses were awesome. Super nice and understanding. The anesthesia nurse from Lake Anesthesia was awesome too. Very reassuring. Of course Dr Robinson was amazing with great doctor presence. I had absolutely no worries and knew I was in good hands. Overall I was worried about nothing. The passing gas part of the procedure wasn't fun but hey everyone in recovery room was doing it so let it loose lol! Ill see you in 10 yrs doctor and thank you."
"Dr. Chi was highly recommended from a friend and after going through the process of scheduling a appointment for the initial consultation and finally my colonoscopy, everyone from the receptionist to Dr. Chi was extremely PROFESSIONAL!! I highly recommend Dr. Chi and his staff , you won’t be disappointed!!"
"I actually meant to write this sooner - my apologies! Dr. Chi was a pleasure to work with and I was completely satisfied with his work ethic! Unlike previous caregivers and medical institutions, Dr. Chi actually took the time to sit down with me after my EGD and discuss the results. His attention to detail is what actually helped us find a possible solution to the symptoms/ailments I have suffered with for almost 10 years now! The nurses, staff and other members of his team were all very kind and helped me feel at ease through the entire process. It is truly a relief to finally feel understood while at the same time be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Dr. Chi and his team for any GI related issues you are looking to address!"
"Dr Chi is the only one I wii go to for my colonoscopy. Dr Chi was able to remove something of the wall of my colon. When other Doctors could not. What made this remarkable is that he did not have to remove any piece of my colon to remove the polyp ."
"Excellent doctor. Had a colonoscopy about 2 weeks ago and Dr. Horowitz did a fantastic job. He explained things, was compassionate and is basically a top notch gastroenterologist. I know a good doctor when I see one as I am a doctor myself. I give Dr. Horowitz my highest recommendation and only wish he wan’t going to retire."
"I was so nervous to have a colonoscopy when I got to the facility. The doctors staff was so nice. When I got into the room for the procedure the doctor explained everything, the anesthesiologist owes me a nail service lol, loved the nurse as well. I have no complaints. Good service Dr. Horowitz Thank you,"
"I chose Dr. Horowitz because of his good reviews on the website. When I met him, he was nice and understanding, I needed a colonoscopy done and I was scheduled right away the following week. The nurse was friendly and explained everything I needed to do. After my colonoscopy, Dr. Horowitz explained my results."
"Parking is plentiful, staff is kind and considerate and Dr D’Astice is a charm. Sounds impossible but they make a colonoscopy a good experience! Thank you!"
"This is the best place ever to get a colonoscopy. I just love my doctor and all the staff who works there. Thank you Dr. Scott wu for being there for me!!!"
"Dr. Bernsen was professional and efficient. A colonoscopy is not the most interactive of procedures. However Dr. Bernsen took time to answer questions prior to the procedure and was thorough in explaining the findings. I would highly recommend Dr. Bernsen."
"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."
"Greatest care and interest in patients. My colonoscopy was a tremendous experience for that type of experience. They asked me to get dressed following my procedure. I wasn’t even aware Dr. Horowitz completed it. Top notch all the way. Especially in sharing my findings."
"Dr. Horowitz is a very good doctor! I’ve been seeing him for more than ten years and about five colonoscopys!!!! He is always professional. I’m always relaxed when I visit for my procedure. And he will present you with the facts on what’s going on with you!!!!! Thank you for your great service!!!!!!"
"Very professional and friendly staff. Glad I went here to get my EGD!"
"Dr. Robinson did my colonoscopy. I had a great experience from beginning to end. Most important his bedside manner is best I have seen and follow up to my test result were given a personal touch. I can appreciate the time he took to explain things to me and he was very receptive to my question. Excellent experience😊"
"Dr. Robinson was very professional and explained the colonoscopy procedure and listened to my questions. He and his team took good care of me and I would recommend him for your next colonoscopy."
"Excellent customer service from The Staff’s and Nurse’s… Highly recommend you get your Colonoscopy done at GI Associates Especially from Dr. Rogelio Silva"
"Dr Qasi and his staff are amazing. Please discard any apprehensions of getting a colonoscopy and trust this team. Ask for the pill based preparation as it greatly reduces the overall stress and discomfort most people have about the process prior to the actual procedure."
"Dr. Lourdes performed a colonoscopy on late April 2021. He is a professional, competent snd experienced surgeon who explained the procedure and results thoroughly. Excellent communication with me as a patient. Thank you Fr. Lourdes for your superb medical care."
"Was the best experience that I have ever had for a colonoscopy. Dr Vainderr was quick, personable and thorough."
"Dr. Nina Merel is one of the best doctors who has treated me; and that's saying a lot since I've had multiple hospitalizations and 8 major surgeries. In fall 2020, Dr. Merel accommodated me during Covid within 24 hours. I had made a mistake in prepping for a colonoscopy and Dr. Merel reset the appointment for the next day & got me another Covid test within that same 24 hr. period. Her dedication to her patients is remarkable. Dr. Merel is considerate, has a wonderful bedside manner and, from my experience, obviously cares about her patients."
"Dr. Glaws was the one who discovered my colon cancer. He's a very compassionate doctor. He has a excellent bedside manner. My husband and I were his patient for a long time. I would recommend him to anybody."
"Dr kosmala is a very good GI Dr, I have had many colonoscopy done as well as endoscopy by him. He has a great bedside manor also. He listens to your issues and wants to help you. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"Dr Raddawi is an excellent gastroenterologist,has very good bedside manners Has great colonoscopy and endoscopy skills Very knowledgeable and gives good advice I know him for several years and he has always given good advice I would recommend him for any patient without any hesitation"
"The entire staff is super amazing! Friendly, kind, great bedside manner and extremely thorough. They all make you feel right at home. The comfort of the surgical suite takes away the white coat jitters of a hospital. I already recommended Dr. Seraphin and his colleagues to my family and friends. Never thought a colonoscopy could be so easy!"
"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. Kuga stopped in at recover to again go over results and again to reassure me all went well. Very professional and friendly would wish him to do it again. Lol Well not for another 10 yrs."
"Got a colonoscopy with Dr Kuga. Very professional. They didn’t mess around, everyone was very nice and efficient. I spent no time just waiting around, they got me in and out quickly but still made sure I understood everything and all questions answered."
"Great experience and care- they made my first colonoscopy as easy as possible"
"I strongly recommend Dr Michael R. Treanor for colonoscopy. He is the best doctor to perform this procedure."
"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. 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."
"I received services from Dr. Tr eand his team for a colonoscopy. He and his team were very professional. They treated me kindly and I was well informed at each stage of procedure. I would truly recommend Dr. Treanor."
"I first went to Dr. Rosenberg for a colonoscopy. Several years later in 2018, I was having stomach problems. After many months of going to my primary care doctor for stomach issues. I decided to make appointment with Dr. Rosenberg. He saved my life that day by listening to me and sending me for CT scan. The scan revealed stage 4 ovarian cancer. Thank you Dr. Rosenberg!!!"
"The colonoscopy was handled professionally by all of the staff. Zero complaints."
"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 Patel and the staff were very kind and professional for my 1st colonoscopy. Thank you."
"Dr Arndt is THE BEST!! I’ve been going to him since the early 90s. He has listened to every thing I say and has never ever dismissed me. He makes the colonoscopy & endoscopy easy. All doctors should have Dr Arndt’s bedside manners. His staff in the office & the endoscopy center are amazing. You won’t be disappointed. Dr Arndt makes his patients feel as if they’re his only patient. ❤️"
"If a colonoscopy can be described as an easy experience, it would be the way I would describe my experience with Dr. Jacobs and his team. They could not have been nicer or more efficient."
"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."
"My first colonoscopy which went very well. Dr Arndt and his staff were wonderful"
"Friendly and efficient. No issues at all with my colonoscopy."
"I was very happy with every aspect of visiting Dr. Losurdo’s office. It was easy to schedule the appointment for my colonoscopy and I really appreciate the text reminders that were sent to remind me to prep for the procedure. Very friendly and professional staff, everyone seemed to be concerned about my care and comfort."
"Doctor Arndt is a professional in his field. A colonoscopy can be an embarrassing, invasive and possibly unpleasant. However, my experience was positive and comfortable . Nothing to fear."
"I don't really need to see doctors on a regular schedule outside of a yearly physical but when I'm in need I ask for a referral from my primary and in this case he asked me to contact Dr. Daksesh Patel. From the appointment made in advance, to the day of procedure, the staff, nurses and Dr. Patel were terrific 👍. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel for your Colonoscopy. Randy Cassel Lincolnwood, IL"
"The wait time was long on the day I was there for a colonoscopy, but otherwise I thought everyone that I dealt with were very nice and professional."
"The only reason(s) I didn’t give 5 stars is because it’s very difficult or time-consuming to make phone contact or get a return call to schedule (or reschedule), and appointments always run late. Otherwise, Dr. Raddawi is wonderful! I’m so glad I asked my PCP for a 2nd opinion - the experience with network GI was awful! Dr. Raddawi has an excellent bedside manner & quickly diagnosed (including his guess proved on point, post colonoscopy results) soon after my initial appointment. I’d been suffering with no definite diagnosis for 2+ years prior to seeing him! All of the staff are courteous & professional. I’m very patient with the time delays because of the high quality of care and patient attention. However, hopeful that area of concern improves."
"Lauren, Dr. Arndt's P A was going to tell Kim Dr. Patel's nurse to call me to set up an appt. for a EGD. So far I've heard nothing and it's been a few weeks. I suppose I have to call Dr. Patel's office to see what happened."
"My experience at St Joseph's hospital under the care of Dr Daksesh Patel was well done Him and his staff made me feel comfortable before the procedure and they were all friendly to be around I would highly recommend Dr Patel to anyone who's looking to have the Colonoscopy for themselves KOCH BRAD"
"Dr. Moxon and team provided excellent care during my colonoscopy. Dr. Moxon personally called to check on me and answer questions post procedure."
"Dr. Sun was very easy going and took his time with explaining my colonoscopy results. He really explained everything that was going on and gave me two of his best treatment options which he ultimately left for me to decide. He was very welcoming and you can see how all of his experience has shaped him by just having one conversation with him"
"Dr. Sable has been my GI doctor for years. Due to a family history of colon cancer, I started getting colonoscopies earlier than usual. Dr. Sable is very thorough and I find her bedside manner very calming. There is no one I would trust more for any GI issues."
"Dr. Vainder is a great combination of smart/qualified and caring/empathetic. He performed my routine colonoscopy last year, and then this year helped me deal with some GI pain that turned out to require a referral for surgical evaluation. While I was hospitalized, he stopped by to say hi and check in on me despite the fact that I wasn’t his patient (for that admission). He is a kind man...who happens to be a gastroenterologist!"
"I was very pleased with Dr. Moxon's interview with me before scheduling my colonoscopy."
"The doctor listened to my concerns and gave me advice on additional ways to manage my condition. I agree with him on the need for a colonoscopy."
"Dr. Chi, thank you for your phone consult. Your words gave me comfort and confidence in trying to understand a puzzling diagnosis. It had been 12 years since you had done an ERCP on me and I wasn't sure you would remember me but when setting up the phone consult your nurse stated "oh yes, Dr. Chi knows your case well" really set me at ease."
"I was REALLY anxious about needing a colonoscopy but Dr. Jacobs and everyone who took care of me put me at ease. I felt like 3 seconds had passed by me when I woke up after the procedure. It was so simple and there was no pain or discomfort. I had results handed to me shortly after waking up and learned right away that there were zero problems internally and I wouldn’t need to have another colonoscopy for TEN YEARS! Dr. Jacobs and the clinic he works at had come highly recommended to me and now I know why. If you need a gastroenterologist or a procedure done then you need to contact Dr. Jacobs."
"DDEC and Dr Schoenig and his team are awesome. I have been seeing their team every 5 years for the past 15 years as my family has a history of Colon cancer. The entire process from online scheduling to check in the day of the colonoscopy through the prep for the procedure to release to go home - their team are polite, positive, encouraging and empathetic - I highly recommend Dr Schoenig and his team at DDEC."
"It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Cahill. She was very pleasant and professional. She took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns about my upcoming procedure of my endoscopy copy and colonoscopy and gave me options as to how I would be sedated to ensure my test went smoothly. I was with my previous gastroenterology doctor for over 20 years until she moved her office so I'm so happy to have found my new, long term doctor. I would recommend Dr Cahill to anyone looking for a gastroenterology doctor who really cares."
"I met Dr. Blumenstein last week for a consult re: my current GI status. He was a good listener, easy to speak with and appeared to be very knowledgeable in his field. He recommended an EGD and colonoscopy which I had this morning at Advocate Christ Outpatient Center. The entire staff along with Dr. Blumenstein made me feel comfortable and safe from the very beginning of my visit through to my discharge. It was an uneventful procedure under Dr. Blumenstein’s expertise. I would recommend this physician to anyone that’s looking for resolution to their GI issues."
"I had Dr. Sun 2 years ago, who did my colonoscopy, who was so comforting explaining the result of the test, then this appointment I had with her last week 1/20/2021, I have to pray prior to the visit, that Dr. Sun will be the doctor im gonna see, and good enough she is the one who attended to me , who is very supportive especially with my medical issues & ordered tests but reassuring possible results, which 1 test is negative & the other test due in a year 1/2022 thank you very much for your good service care."
"Dr. Patel and his staff were Great, Extremely patient and professional. I would highly recommend you do a consultation with this staff for your regular colonoscopy check up."
"This was the fastest and most uncomplicated appointment and colonoscopy that I have ever experienced and believe me I have had plenty. Thank you for a painless procedure and a not so enjoyable prep. Dr Moxon is great."
"I am a first time patient of Dr Losurdo and the Illinois Gatro Group. Purpose of visit - colonoscopy. Office staff is very professional, helpful and followed extreme care related to COVID. My initial appointment with Dr Losurdo was very thorough. Setting up appointment for the procedure was done immediately after appointment and I left office knowing exactly what to expect and do to prepare from the prescription, COVID test, diet restrictions, all the way to day-of requirements. I ended up having to reschedule via phone and that was completed within 24 hrs of initial call to office. Office provides perfect level of reminders too. Day of procedure was orchestrated to perfection. I felt very cared for and my nurse Marti was a whiz at administering the IV (not a fan of needles). But the entire staff that day was amazing. I left with results in hand, followed up with the next day and primary doctor had results in hand within a day or two of procedure. A very well run office. I will be recommending Dr Losurdo and the team to all my friends who are delinquent in getting this very important procedure done and anyone else needing gastro care. Thank you all for taking such great care of me, see ya in 5 yrs."
"Dr. Sun provides the utmost concern and care for medical visit(s) and is top notch with her procedure for our colonoscopy when it is our scheduled time. She always listens and reviews our medical stats on yearly visits. She is professional, pleasant and communication is excellent."
"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.."
"The colonoscopy procedure from checkin to discharge was professional, caring and informative about the care being given and the proceedure."
"My heartfelt thanks, to Dr Losurdo and his amazing staff, for the excellent care I received during my colonoscopy. Everyone was so friendly and professional, I felt a member of the family."
"Dr. Wu was very patient, took time to sit and discuss with me the various preps used for colonoscopy. He did not rush me or force his choice on me. I would recommend him to my family and friends"
"Dr. Patel is a rather skilled gastroenterologist and surgeon who speaks quite well in either strict medical terminology or plain old shop talk. He’s a real person who acts like a regular guy who happens to be incredibly intelligent, skilled and gifted physician. He is polite and courteous to a fault. His sense of humor is both present and active, if not also quite good! His team uses only the most modern anesthesia techniques and medicines to safely sedate us, but not put us at undue risk or leave us foggy after procedures such as colonoscopy or EGD. The VERY FIRST THING Dr. Patel did when we met was to tell me he’d be asking an awful lot of medical questions later, but wanted first to just get to know me as a person. I was quite shocked and taken aback! Never had a specialist used this approach with me!! We shot the proverbial “stuff” at length and even had a few laughs!! Then a most detailed examination and evaluation followed. It was intense and moved quickly. He recommended the exact diagnostics I hoped I’d receive and numerous tests with which I’m not acquainted. The diagnostics are scheduled quite soon. I’ll have a much better idea why my “guts” hurt so very much, lately. Thank God and Dr. Patel!!!!!!"
"I highly recommend Dr. Nina H. Merel. She is an excellent doctor with the Illinois Gastroenterology Group. She takes time with her patients and explains things so you can understand. Dr. Merel has performed two successful procedures on me, a colonoscopy and a endoscopy. I have much confidence in her abilities."
"Dr. Stinneford and his staff at the EndonCenter are great. They are respectful of one’s privacy, sensitive to the patient’s concerns and cheerful with appropriate good humor. Colonoscopy are unpleasant but they do their best o make the procedure tolerable. Amy, Anna and Dr. Stinneford are superb professionals."
"I went to Dr. Muscarello because I was having some gastric problems. I chose him because he gave me a colonoscopy years ago and I remembered how efficient and kind and gentle he was. In my opinion Dr. Muscarello is the top guy to see on the Southside, If you are having any gastric medical issues!"
"I have had Dr. Joseph perform 2 EGD’s and a Colonoscopy. He listens, answers questions, and cares about you as a patient. I certainly recommend him for your care."
"Dr. Liebovich is very confident & knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions & I enjoyed my follow up visit after my EGD procedure with him."
"The entire procedure went very smoothly. Dr. Losurdo didn't have to explain much to me because this wasn't my first colonoscopy, which I appreciated very much. If I had a complaint it wasn't about the procedure, it was about the prep. I know that this is the worst part of a colonoscopy, but starting the prep late in the day before the procedure made it run well into the early morning of hours the day of the procedure. Small problem but worth mentioning."
"As before, everyone at Central Illinois Endoscopy Center was fantastic! Dr. Penn was very welcoming and upbeat both before and after my procedure. The anesthesia they used was great, and I was clear headed enough immediately after to remember everything he told me. I would highly recommend Dr. Penn if you are in need of a colonoscopy."
"I had two procedures done and everything went smoothly. Dr. Wait and staff at the colonoscopy center are very professional and caring. All Covid-19 precautions were taken. I would highly recommend Dr. Wait for all of your Gastroenterology needs."
"I won’t have an Endoscopy and/or Colonoscopy with anyone other than Dr. Khaiser."
"Friendly and courteous staff. Dr. Arndt is a personable and reassuring doctor. Anyone needing a colonoscopy should contact Dr. Arndt’s office."
"What can one say about a colonoscopy, right? Well, I can tell you this.. You'll never remember it (because of the anestesia😉).. But you will remember Dr Arndt and his top notch team of nurses and support staff. I never felt more comfortable about an "uncomfortable" procedure. The nurses explained everything fully so I never had a question about what was coming next. When you are being taken care of by the best, you know it because they're practiced enough at their job to be relaxed and THAT puts you at ease. I wish everyone is able to have an experience that's as quick and relaxed as I had. An overall enjoyable experience thanks to the people working with Dr Arndt."
"Had my colonoscopy done by Dr Kim & everything went smooth and easy. He made it a stress free by explaining with assurance how the procedure would go. I highly recommend him!"
"I went to Dr. Gluskin for my first routine colonoscopy screening. He was a true professional. The staff at IGG was informative and kind. I would recommend the office staff and Dr. Gluskin for your colonoscopy!"
"I went in for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy I was so scared and Doctor Sun was so great in helping and doing both procedures I hope I don't need the gastro group again but if I do Dr.Sun is my first call"
"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. 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."
"This was a pleasant experience here. This was my first time with Dr. Sun but he made me feel very comfortable. As usual for a colonoscopy, the worst part was the prep but after that the Elgin group made me very comfortable."
"Dr. Rosenberg saw me for some stomach issues. I'm pretty young but very symptomatic-rather than brush me off due to age, he went the straight shooter route and explained my options and possibilities and scheduled me for a colonoscopy to ensure there are no issues. I haven't had it yet but I feel better about the situation knowing my care team is making every effort to diagnose and generate a treatment plan for me."
"First colonoscopy, worried for nothing. It was a piece of cake. Everyone was fantastic, especially Dr. Patel"
"Dr. Kuga has a wonderful bedside manner and very patient with my hearing impaired husband. He took the time to explain before and after his colonoscopy what would happen and the results after the procedure."
"The team was unbelievably friendly and the process was seamless. I had put off a colonoscopy for years and now I wish I had not. Dr. Dorfmeister put me at ease immediately. Recommend them highly."
"I had a colonoscopy done on 2/4 of this year and by Dr. Jennifer Dorfmeister and her team. They took their time answer all my questions, treated with respect, very professional, took great care explaining what was going to happen and what I needed to do. Everything was done with out any problems and the procedure was done with very little discomfort to me."
"A colonoscopy arg. Some how he made it relaxing and something I was glad about getting my rear in the clear."
"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.""
"I have been going to Dr. Harsh Gupta for my past 3 colonoscopies and will be having my 4th one soon. I feel like I’m getting competent thorough care from him. Dr. Gupta explains the procedure, remembers and refers to my past colonoscopy history, what to expect, answers all my questions and does a complete follow up with the results. His easy going and calm manner puts me at ease. I have recommended Dr. Gupta to my friends who are looking for a competent Gastroenterologist.I heartily recommend Dr. Harsh Gupta to anyone looking for a competent Gastroenterologist."
"I was highly impressed with the office staff and Dr. Rosenberg. It was my first visit to inquire about a colonoscopy (45) now and he was very calm and knowledgeable about my visit. He made the office appointment very pleasant and did not rush at all. He answered all my questions and made me feel better about my upcoming procedure. The office was very Covid clean and safe as well! A+ He was down to earth & funny ! *12/28 surgery update ** He was outstanding and I was so happy his bed side manner was A+ and I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rosenberg Thank you Samuel Rosengarten"
"My colonoscopy went very well, the docs at this center are all fantastic. Dr Sun made me comfortable and provided me with the best care possible."
"Great very friendly Drs. I cant say I enjoyed my colonoscopy, but they were very understanding and tried to make it as comfortable as possible."
"Dr. Blumenstein performed my colonoscopy and the entire time I was treated with kindness and patience by the entire staff. He is an excellent doctor and I received a phone call from him within 3 days to inform me of the lab results. *My husband also had Dr. Blumenstein and agrees 100%."
"Dr. Shapiro was referred to me by my older brother. My brother's experience was excellent and Dr. Shapiro helped him get off nearly a decade of Nexium use. I have had doctor Shapiro taking care of my GI issues for about 5 years and he is a caring and thorough physician who listens to you and answers each question thoughtfully and precisely. I am going in for my second colonoscopy and feel confident and in the best care with this excellent doctor."
"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."
"I trust Dr. Baldwin completely. His knowledge and expertise are a blessing to me. I started seeing him when he first began his practice. He did my first colonoscopy at Pekin Hospital about 18 years ago. I wish to thank him for his care and concern over the years. I will now be seeing him yearly. Thank you."
"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. Al-Rashdan was professional in every sense of the word. His empathy and demeanor went beyond the usual doctor-patient relationship and allowed me to relax and have complete confidence in his ability to safely conduct the procedure. I would recommend him to anyone who requires a colonoscopy."
"It didn’t take long for me to be seen. The medical student did a good job at providing the necessary intake/screening for a colonoscopy. Dr. Gluskin provided more detail about the procedure, and kindly answered my questions."
"(Translated by Google) Dr. Pastel in my first appointment took careful note of my medical history, then he explained the colonoscopy procedure that he is going to perform and I really felt very good medical care. I thank God because he has put me in good hands and he always blesses us!!! (Original) El doctor Pastel en mi primera cita tomó cuidadosa nota de mis antecedentes médicos, luego me explico el procedimiento de la colonoscopia que me va a realizar y de verdad sentí una muy buena atención médica. Doy gracias a Dios porque me ha puesto en buenas manos y él siempre nos bendice !!!"
"Dr. Greenberg is the best!! A couple of years ago he discovered what my health issue was during a colonoscopy, put me on medication and I've been fine ever since. I call him "my hero". He cares about you and is very easy to talk to."
"A personable staff and dr Bloom was great! One never knows what type of personality to expect, with THIS speciality. I am looking forward to my colonoscopy! 😆"
"I had the best possible colonoscopy scan experience with Dr. Sales. He is an expert in gastrointestinal medicine and colonoscopy scans. His calm, patient friendly personality made our personal communications easy. I liked him immediately when I met him. I consider him to be the best specialist that I've ever been referred to for my personal health. I enjoyed the time I spent with him, and would gladly recommend him to anyone. Coy Leonard Casper"
"Dr. Bernsen is a consummate professional. He thoroughly looked at my wife's history and suggested a method of examination that took into consideration her specific health issues. He calmly, confidently, thoroughly and reassuringly advised us about the upcoming colonoscopy which gave us peace of mind. I was so impressed that I will be scheduling my own colonoscopy with Dr. Bernsen this fall. Just wanted to add and update that my wife had her colonoscopy with Dr. Bernsen and it went extremely smoothly and Dr. Bernsen continued his care in a very cordial and professional manner."
"Dr. Silva performed my colonoscopy and endoscopy this week at Palos Hospital. He was Excellent. Spoke to me before and after the procedures, answered my questions, and treated me with outstanding medical care. I highly recommend Dr. Silva. Thank you. Earl"
"Dr. Joseph was personal, professional and made me feel very welcome. I saw him as a pre colonoscopy endoscopy patient and feel comfortable having him provide the procedures."

"Doctor lu was amazing. He provided me with all the information I needed to have The colonoscopy. Hey was there after the procedure to help me get through the complications that I was having. He got right back to me when I told him I was having complications and I needed medicine. He called in as soon as he could. And his assistant D was amazing also. She was there a talk me through everything. Help me get everything that I needed to get better. So thank you."
"Northwest Gastroenterologists and Dr Lattin were fantastic! From the minute I walked in the door, checked in and the whole procedure went great. The staff is fantastic there. I would highly recommend this facility to handle your colonoscopy! I can't say enough great things about everyone there."
"Today I had my colonoscopy with Dr. Sun. I chose her because my health insurance has her rated as a Premium Quality Physician. Dr. Sun has an excellent bedside manner. I was extremely nervous and terrified today about the having the procedure because my BFF in Detroit passed away from colon cancer just two weeks ago. I explained this to Dr Sun then she unexpectedly held my hand and assured me she was going to take good care of me. This sincere and very kind gesture made me feel comfortable and at ease because I was a bundle of nerves. Her nurse Mary Beth put a cold compress on my forehead to further calm me down which worked. After the procedure was finished Dr. Sun came back to me and gave me my results she held my hand again. Not only is Dr Sun a very highly skilled physician but she is also very caring. I highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about having a colonoscopy. I also must mention Marie also on her staff was very professional and courteous when I called to set up the appointment and she gave detailed information on preparing for the procedure. Marie did not mind that I called her back several times to make sure I was doing everything correctly to prepare for the procedure."
"Everyone from the receptionist, nurse, and Dr. Kaplan were outstanding. Dr. Kaplan took the time to go over what would take place with the colonoscopy."
"(Translated by Google) Dr. Pastel at my first appointment took careful note of my medical history, then he explained the colonoscopy procedure that he is going to perform on me and I really felt very good medical care.

"I had an EGD done here a few days ago. The nurses are extremely caring and understanding. I was very anxious going in to the procedure and the nurses and anesthesiologist helped calm me down and explained everything that would happen in depth. They also listened to my concerns very attentively. Amazing bedside manner by all. Dr. Christopolous, my gastroenterologist, performed the EGD, and I woke up comfortable and with no pain. Had a little sore throat for about a day and a half, and that was it. The facility was clean and well maintained as well. All in all, I had a great experience for something I was extremely nervous about."
"I am at a loss with this other reviewer. I am the opposite. I do not want the doctor to say things just to make me feel better. I just want the truth, and that is what Dr Blum will give you. His full office, and full schedule shows he is a good doctor. An appointment with him is definitely worth the wait. I am fully confident in his capability based off of my own experience when I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy he did in 2012, and the Endoscopy I just had in July. He was not at all condescending or rude. He was genuinely interested in solving the problem. I would not base my decision to see a doctor off of an emotional review. It was a great experience for me."
"Just had my upper endoscopy and colonoscopy done today at The Glen Endoscopy center in Glenview. Dr. Qazy and his team are very knowledgeable and kind. The whole paper process was fast and easy. The procedure was done on time, I was in and out in about 2 hours including the recovery time. I feel great without any pain and just had my first meal. I definitively recommend Dr. Qazy and his team. In fact my wife is going to schedule her procedures with him next week as well."
"Wait time was minimal. Office clean. Staff friendly. Dr. Patel listened and spoke. He read info I provided from my other Doctors. All went well. Scheduled Colonoscopy right away."
"Dr. Patel performed my colonoscopy . Dr. Patel called me on the phone prior to the prep and asked some questions about my health history, went over the possibilities of the risks of the procedure . He gave a thorough explanation of the prep . His office had sent over the prep instructions weeks prior but he just went over everything. He answered my questions and that was that. He seems very intelligent, to the point and very professional.The first time i met him in person was minutes before the procedure. He was well dressed, explained the procedure really quick and before i knew it i woke up in recovery. After the procedure he came & gave information to me & my husband about what he found . He answered our questions and let us know he would give us a call when he had the results. His office staff also called a couple days prior to make sure I understood everything."
"I met Doctor Victor today for the first time. He preformed a colonoscopy on me and was so caring and attentive. He answered all my questions and I didn’t feel rushed. I would highly recommend him!"
"Dr. Lee explained very clearly and slowly the gallbladder procedure (ERCP) he was going to perform. He then did exactly what he said...and then met with my family in post op to review the gallstone-removal results. He is the REAL DEAL...cool, calm, collected. His emergency surgery skills made the following day's gallbladder removal a huge success."
