"Have been under Dr Losurdo's care for almost 20 years. I highly recommend his medical expertise for gastrointestinal issues."
"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!"
"DR.RAHUL JULKA IS A EXCELLENT DOCTOR I'VE BEEN GOING TO THIS CLINIC FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS AND DR. KASIER WAS MY ORIGINAL DOCTOR BUT HE RETIRED LAST DECEMBER SO THEY ASSIGNED ME TO DOCTOR JULKA AND ONE MY FIRST VIST HE MADE ME FEEL SO RELAXED HE LISTENED TO MY CONCERNS AND ADDRESSED EVERY ONE OF THEM. HE'S A DOCTOR WITH A GREAT BED SIDE MATTER HE'S VERY POLITE AND HE TREATS U LIKE YOU'RE A PERSON NOT JUST ANOTHER PATIENT HE TAKES TIME TO LISTEN TO YOU SO FAR I'VE SEEN HIM 3 TIMES AND I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S MY GASTRIC DOCTOR. 😊💖❤️"
"Dr. Cahill is a good gastroenterologist who is very knowledgeable. She she listens to you before making any decisions and partners with you on those decisions. I’m confident in her abilities and guidance whenever I have an issue."
"Dr. Joseph was very empathetic and very knowledgeable with gastroenterology subject"
"Dr.Ballard really took the time to explain to me about the severity of my ulcerative colitis, as well as taking the time out to suggest the best treatment options..I highly recommend him for gastrointestinal care."
"Update: Taking off a star because, although I was told I didn't need to return and to call if I had any questions related to my issue, when I called with a related question a little over a year later, I was brushed off by the phone nurses. They didn't even say I should make an appointment, they just said the doctor can't answer my question because he doesn't know the situation, or something like that. (Another doctor had prescribed me a medicine that had my particular gastronomical issue listed as a potential side effect, and I just wanted to know if it would be safe for me to take that medicine. Since I couldn't get an answer, I decided it was less risky to not take the medicine, even though I had unfortunately already filled the prescription when I discovered the warning about the side effect.) Original review: While I can't speak to his diagnostic abilities, as my appointment was a consultation related to an issue that had already come and gone, my impression of Dr. Patel was that he is very friendly and will answer all of your questions. I really felt confident that he knows his stuff, and he was happy to re-word and repeat things until he was sure we were on the same page."
"Dr.Ballard really took the time to explain to me about the severity of my ulcerative colitis as well as taking the time out to suggest the best treatment options..I highly recommend him for gastrointestinal services."
"Dr. Elkhatib has a very caring bedside manner & is very thorough. He has been able to resolve and treat my gastrointestinal issues I had been having by doing a series of outpatient testing & getting to what the real issue was. He definitely cares about his patients and spends the time with you instead of hurrying through appointments. I wish more doctors were like him. The staff in his office are all very kind and professional!"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Samir Patel for many years. I trust him immensely. He is professional, good at his practice, and friendly. Anyone looking for a gastroenterologist I highly recommend Dr. Patel"
"Great experience with reception the nurse and the doctor."
"Greeted by staff cordially and professionally, at the door. Listened to carefully and thoroughly by Dr. Victor. I knew that I would be given the utmost time to discuss with Dr. Victor; this not like some bigger institutions. As a returning patient from years ago, I feel the utmost confidence in my care at Gastrointestinal Health Associates of Geneva (IGG)."
"Dr. Vainder is a very caring physician who went the extra mile for me when it was needed most."
"Dr. Arndt was very kind, patient and professional. His staff nurse Linda was very nice. I have very high anxiety and they both gave me a peace and a comfort which is uncommon for me when it comes to Doctor visits. Before leaving, both invited me to call any time with questions or concerns."
"The Team at Gialliance was great! Having my first experience at this made it very stress free and comfortable. Dr Patel did a great Job explaining the procedure and his team of nurses were amazing. Highly recommend this Group to anyone that requires a gastroenterologist for routine Check up or anything else. Great overall experience! Thank you"

"I repeatedly return to this facility because they treat you well as if your family and I really like that."

"Best gi doctor in illnois!! He goes above and beyond to help his patients, if you are looking for a gi doctor I promise go to him!!! 10 out of 10 ⭐️! Doc if you see this sorry for calling so many times to get my results, I was just anxious! I promise anyone he is the best gi doctor in illnois, quick example I was bleeding went to a gi dr his name was dr kniaz out of Munster ind, he did colonscopy and said we don’t see nothing your good!! Obviously I knew something was going on cuz of blood , I found dr Astice and he did colonscopy a month later and found one of the biggest hemroids (internal) he ever seen! Dumb dr in Indiana should be fired!"
"The office staff is friendly and accommodating. They understand my needs and I have been able to get appointments quickly (new patient within 3 weeks)and follow ups within one week of calling. Other practices I contacted gave me a six- week- away appointment as a new patient. It is hard to wait that long when you are not feeling well. Dr. Bloom is knowledgeable and practical. He is generous with his time during the office visit. You will never feel rushed during a visit and he takes the time to answer all of your questions."
"Dr. Victor and his team are very helpful and great to work with. He takes the time to explain in plain terms what’s going on, best treatment plans and risks involved with decisions. I tell anyone needing a gastroenterologist that he is the best around."
"Friendly, informative staff"
"Very nice & answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable. Will refer Him whenever anyone needs to see a gastro dr."
"Dr. Kim is the best Gastroenterologist. He is kind, compassionate & extremely competent. I am blessed to have him as my GI MD. :-)"
"Dr. Elkhatib is patient, professional, understanding, and thorough."
"Dr Bernsen is the absolute best expert when it comes to any type of gastrointestinal issue you are facing. Very calming and concerned about finding the fastest most effective, least invasive solution for your problem. Great Doctor you can trust. Five Stars"
"Experienced, thorough, and thoughtful. Dr. Janda cares, and that’s all you REALLY need to know. A standout attribute is that he looks to lifestyle changes to better the patient’s health versus immediately jumping to medication and procedures. I would never trust my health to another gastroenterologist so long is Dr. Janda is practicing, and I hope that he continues to do so for many years to come."
"Dr. Kuga and the entire staff were outstanding in their care, from check in to check out. For not having met him prior to my procedure, I felt like he was a doctor I had been with for a long time. Would definitely make this my Doctor and medical center should I ever have other gastrointestinal issues."
"Was a patient years ago and never got around to writing a review, just writing to say that I was satisfied with his care. Had heartburn nearly 24/7 for many months before him and my primary care doctor were able to get it managed. I've since switched GI doctors from Dr. Gluskin as I struggled to secure a timely appointment with his office and found someone closer to where I moved to, but would recommend this practice still for sure."
"Dr. Gluskin is a very good gastrointestinal doctor and addresses all patient concerns. He is thorough and persistent in getting to the root of any problems. He has a very good bedside manner and listens to your concerns and answers all your questions. I highly recommend him."
"Dr. Victor is thorough, knowledgeable, and he has a great bedside manner! I refer him to everyone who is in need of a gastroenterologist!!"
"I love Dr. Penn he has been my Gastrentrolgist for 20+ years. He is fast and thorough. I always recommend him to my friends and family"
"Dr. Moxon is very professional and highly experienced in his field of practice. He is friendly and has superb bedside manners with his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Moxon for anyone looking for a top notch gastroenterologist. My thanks to Jennifer, the PA, for scheduling me an appointment and eventual procedure with Dr. Moxon on such short notice. I appreciate your service and for working with me to ensure I was able to see Dr. Moxon in a timely manner."
"The office was prompt and very organized. Office staff were very nice. Dr. Kim was very thorough , took time to discuss and explain my treatment plan. He was also very compassionate and very easy to talk to, he made me feel very comfortable."
"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."
"A very good doctor to go see as a gaserologist office"
"Dr Stinneford is absolutely 💯 percent the BEST Gasterologist I have ever been referred for past 15 years and since my digestive track diagnosis at age 15. He cares, listens, explaines every process, and provides solutions that literally work at all costs. This man provides positive motives to heal every symptom. Dr. Stinneford gets a 10+ from me and many others. These kind of doctors are a hard and rare find. I absolutely love this man. He performs miracles."

I felt cared for and comfortable each visit. And all of my questions were always answered :) Amazing doctor!"
"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."

"I was blessed when my physician, recommended Dr. Kaiser for colonosopy. I had another problem that resulted in surgery. It was corrected in a timely fashion and I was truly grateful. Dr. Kaiser provides excellent care and addresses concerns with helpful solutions. He demonstrates empathy, as he listens and addresses health issues. The staff at this location are friendly and professional. . Thank you & Congrats to Dr. Kaiser on his future journey of retirement.. God bless you."
"I had a very professional and comforting experience. Everyone on the team were friendly and caring. I recommend Dr. Robinson for any of your gastroenterology needs. No pain, great bed side manner and gave you the results and his office followed up on me later on that day. A Genuine doctor!"
"This was first time having this procedure done and Dr. Robinson did an excellent job as it relates to easing my anxiety."
"Doctor Patel changed my life.. i was suffering from chronic indigestion and reflux and I didn’t know where to turn so at one point after doing a bit of research I found Dr. Patel initially we did some homeopathic stuff where I changed my diet my routines what I did after eating and eventually we realize that the problem is much deeper rooted in a physical obstruction/complication. This is where Dr. Patel recommended the TIFT surgery and it’s been 3 months since the surgery and I am back to eating what I like. Thank you so much Dr."

Dr. Victor discussed my medical concerns with me and presented a plan for medications, tests and procedures. Based upon this visit, my experience was completely satisfactory."
"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.

"Dr. Seraphim is very patient and takes the time to listen to your concerns. He explains things clearly. Everyone is the office is also very pleasant."
"I would definitely recommend Dr. Adler to anyone who needed a gastroenterologist. Dr. Adler takes the time to explain your medical issue and ask questions.

"I've been under Dr Adler's care at Illinois Gasto/GI Alliance in Glenview Il since December 2021. He got me on the right medication to alleviate my symptoms and is checking on me regularly.
