"I highly recommend Illinois Gastroenterology Group. I have been a patient of Dr. Arndt for many years and at my last visit I saw the Nurse Practitioner Lauren Smith. I am extremely satisfied with both of these medical professionals; I feel they listen to my concerns and ensure they provide the best care and follow up possible."
"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."
"The physicians, and their clinical staff are amazing. Dr. Muscarello is the BEST gastroenterologist you will find. If you have a gastro issue this IS the place to come. Lauren their NP is wonderful. The group is very professional and they take time to listen. I have gone to this group for over 15 years and I would never go anywhere else."
"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."
"Dr. Muscarello is the BEST! He is the only gastroenterologist my family & I will see. Dr. Muscarello is very professional, explains everything, takes his time with you and is friendly."
"Thorough and professional, with a sense of humor. Hard to find and grateful."
"I have been seeing Dr.Bijaj for many years and I have had been treated with the utmost professionalism, from his staff to him. He makes sure that I have the best care possible. I have and will continue to refer my family and friends to him for great care."
"I have been going to Dr. Bajaj for yrs. He was my mother's gastro doctor first. He found her tumors when no other doctor could. That is why I choose him to do my own care. He is polite, informative and always follows up to see how ones progress. His staff at both location are great. I highly recommended doctor Bajaj even my own pcp gives him always positive reviews."
"I'm going here now to see a new GI doctor and so far they are great! Definitely recommend you come here for your Gastric needs! Thank you guys, And my sister Debbie."
"Very friendly and professional place."
"Scheduling took back and forth phone calls for a total of 9 days to get an appointment. There was never a time that someone actually picked up the phone. Then it took approximately 2 days to get a return call and it was mostly when I stepped out. Then another 2 days of waiting for a callback. I almost switched to another doctor. But from he moment I stepped through the doors for my appointment I only experienced kindness and a perfectly run office staff. I was very impressed with everyone I encountered. All showed professionalism. Dr lue was everything I hoped for in a physician. Glad I did not switch after all I opted for Osmoprep because of a very bad experience with the other. Projectile vomiting, etc. found out it costs between $200 and $300 for the 32 pills depending where purchased. Called my insurance company and they gave me a phone number for doctor or staff to call directly. Explained my situation and they said they could make me a tier 3 which would then cover 30% of the cost. scheduler refused my request by telling me if they did that for me then they would be spending their entire day doing it for everyone. Really? How many people actually need the Osmoprep. I was very disappointed in her lack of empathy. I feel if I could have talked to dr lue directly and explained it to him he would have made the necessary phone call to save me the money."
