"First time ever to get a colonoscopy. Dr. Mills and staff were absolutely AMAZING!! Dr. Mills comes to talk to you before the procedure to let you everything that will be done and asks you if you have any questions. He doesn’t leave until you feel comfortable. His nurses and in-take staff were so compassionate. My daughter is the one who took me and she said they were very informative when they came to get her in the waiting room. I would highly recommend Dr. Mills and his staff for your next colonoscopy. I hope in the next 10 years they come up with a better medicine that clears you out before the procedure!!"

"So far, I sense / feel / know I've lucked out with THIS Dr and his staff!! Even the location! Everything was AS A PATIENT, CLIENT, SICK, SUFFERING, NEEDING ANSWERS, HUMANe, PROFESSIONAL, EMPATHETIC, & ALL JUST SUPERCEDES A CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATIONS by sooooo far!!!!! I've NEVER regretted making Dr Panossian my choice of this field of expertise!!! Even the past decade (in LA / Lowsy-Anna aka Louisiana state) ALL the "good local specialists" there, including the ERs are in business to kill people and not save lives! A sickening, depraved, massive DYSfunction from health "care" system of today, cross country, seems the patients, customers paying for a service to be rendered NEVER GETS THEIR DESERVED ATTENTION, TIME, ETC but with THIS DR & STAFF..... *NOTE : DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE OF POTENTIALLY AN EQUAL FITTING WITH Dr Panossian like I've found for me!!!!*"
"Dr. Kanner is very knowledgeable and is very thorough I definitely would recommend him to anybody else that is having issues with their butt or gut. Scheduling an appointment is pretty quick. I had to wait for a month to see him. For a specialist that's pretty quick. The staff are very friendly and professional."

Dr. Lam has been very understanding. She also has a very kind disposition."
"Top notch GI doc! He’s an expert at what he does and answers questions thoroughly. He really cares about the needs of his ptnts. Many of the local docs choose him and those are the types of specialists that you want to seek care from. The staff is very strict about rescheduling 48hrs in advance. They will charge you $50 for rescheduling follow up 24hr in advance like I did after waiting 20min on the phone twice and unable to reach anyone. Great doc but the staff can be tough to work with."
"Dr.Ahmed and the entire staff are so kind. They truly take the time to answer all of your questions and they are very knowledgeable. Dr. Shifat Ahmed was full of knowledge and was very positive. He provided answers in ways that helped me grasp a true understanding of my concerns. He provided options and next steps. I’m grateful for this team."
"Dr. Ahmed is personable, patient and kind. He made plenty of space for (and encouraged) me to ask questions, he listened intently and made me feel heard, seen and comfortable.

I briefly confused another doctor in the practice who's retiring with Dr Patel and nearly panicked thinking I would have to find someone else. Thankfully, it was my err and he's going to be around for awhile. I highly recommend Dr Patel to anyone who has any GI issues. Ron Nielsen"
"It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. Waited in a clean waiting room. The preparation nurse was friendly and made me feel comfortable.

Great experience I will recommend this facility to my friends and family."

"I have been taking my special needs son to Dr. Umar for a year and a half now. We have a family history of colon cancer so my son needed a colonoscopy at only 20 years old and Dr. Umar agreed and made it happen with insurance coverage. Then my son started having GI problems a year later likely due to EDS and Dr. Umar's MA got him in quickly specifically to Dr. Umar. He is all about patient comfort and what is realistic for the patient, down to earth, no ego (but is phenomenal), genuinely cares, no long waits, explains everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!"

"The process was much simpler than I expected. The worse part was essentially staying up all night to take the polypropylene glycol every 15 minutes. When I checked in, the process and people made the rest very easy. Even the IV insertion was much easier than expected. Each medical person associated with the colonoscopy came over and introduced themselves and explained what there role was, including the doctor! When I came out of the anesthetic, I was well attended, got results from the doctor immediately. Not rushed, just expedient. The results were sent to my primary care physician within a couple of hours of the exam. Fast, efficient, professional, and friendly. Very caring team of professionals."

He listens patiently, explai s thoroughly & ensures that as a patient you completely understand everything. I highly recommend him to family & friends - not something I usually do."
"Dr. Hauptmann is the best doctor I have ever had. He rearranged his schedule to fit me for a procedure in 2 days from my appointment. Great guy great Dr."

Everyone involved with my actual procedure was extremely nice and thorough introducing him or herself, explaining what was next and following up afterwards. I even had two follow up phone calls after inquiring about a lost earring. Such professionals!"

"I can not express enough gratitude to Dr Honan for so kindly helping me when I was in a difficult situation. If you ever had a colonoscopy, you know the worse part of it is the prep. I did everything that was required and didn't drink any water after midnight. I arrived 45 minutes as directed for my 12:30pm appt to find out that I was scheduled the following day!! (My mistake totally. I misread the date!) I asked if any the doctor's at the center who could possibly do it. My doctor called on my behalf as well and Dr Honan graciously made time in his schedule to have the procedure done. He throughly reviewed my chart, asked me questions to clarify parts of my medical history and explained the procedure. Afterwards, he went over his findings. If permitted by their practice, I will use him as my doctor. I will always remember his professionalism and going out of his way to help."

She is great. I love seeing her. She is so helpful, knowledgeable, personable, I wish every healthcare professional I see was as great as she is. My visit with her has always been great. I recommend Arizona Digestive Health in Chandler if you are in need of any gastrointestinal treatment."
"I highly recommend this location! Everyone was so nice! Dr. Mann listened, investigated and diagnosed my problem. I had been suffering for over 2 yrs, had a surgery that probably wasn't necessary, and still had the same symptoms. He figured it out! I am so grateful!"
"Dr Mann has been my doctor for close to a year. I am one of those guys that's been in and out of doctor offices' my entire life with stomach issues. Dr Mann is one of the few, if not the only one I will remember years from now for how he has treated me over these past 8 months. I guess the best way I can put this is, I have never felt inclined to write a review for a doctor, until I became a patient for Dr Mann. Top quality individual and I'm very grateful to be one of his patients."
