"Dr. Dennert is the most understanding doctor that i have had. She listens carefully and together we are managing my Crohn's disease. The office staff and medical assistant Blanca are very kind and also mindful of people's time. I've been to some doctors where they had me waiting in the front office and exam room for over an hour! Not at Arizona Digestive Health!!! I'm so grateful to have found such a caring and compassionate doctor to help me manage my condition."
"Dr Patel is wonderful! Helped me control my colitis that the hospital did not do. Was willing to provide service to me in Ca till I find a new GI Dr. I appreciate his service!"
"Best around! He has been the ONLY doctor to help manage my gastroparesis. I met him at my lowest and he has helped me to be at my highest. Eternally grateful for that man."
"Dr. Gulinson is great! I’ve had 2 procedures (colonoscopies) performed by him and his team. I will be having my third in July. I have every confidence that it will go as well as the others. Dr. Gulinson’s office staff are kind and efficient—no long waits either. The doctor explains what will happen during the procedure and what he does if polyps are found. He answers questions and puts me at ease. The prep is easy and much better than friends have experienced elsewhere. You drink a tasteless laxative with a clear drink of your choice. Not a fun time but necessary since my family has a history of colon cancer. Dr. Gulinson has a calm, kind bedside manner. I highly recommend him as does my PCP. 👍"
"This will be my procedure with Dr. Meline. I was extremely satisfied with the procedure, the professionalism, and the care provided by his staff and himself back in 2019. I am having another procedure next week and he thoroughly explained all that was done prior, the risks involved, the steps we are taking to ensure that I am able to keep my colon cancer free. While the day before is not fun, the juice is worth the squeeze. And remember, you can have your colon colonoscopy checked at age 45, not 50 like the insurance companies like to preach. Vic Houze Jr"
"Ramkrishna R. Kothur is a gastroenterologist in Sun City, Arizona and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Banner Thunderbird Medical. Dr. Kothur has over 20-years experience in the gastrointestinal field, and one of the things that I really liked about him and his practice, is while he is able to perform procedures in Banner Thunderbird Hospital, he is also able to perform straightforward procedures like my colonoscopy in the surgery and recovery rooms within their offices… I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a great gastrointestinal doctor 👨⚕️ to provide relief from digestive disorders, such as stomach pain, ulcers, reflux, constipation and Crohn's disease."
"Dr Hutchinson, is very attentive and has good bed side manner with his patients and explains everything to you."
"I recently had a procedure done in May, it went very well. The staff were great, very attentive and caring. They made me feel at ease. My daughter was very pleased with Dr. Lam. She had asked me , “Why do you have a Dr. So far from home?” After she met Dr Lam, she says I can see why you picked her, she is very good and caring. I like the way she listens and explains things. Dr. Lam has been very understanding. She also has a very kind disposition."
"Dr. Collins is so very knowledgeable. He was able to solve my health problems."
"Dr Kothur has been my GI doctor for 15 years. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but him. He’s the very best"
"Dr. David is very thorough and takes the needed time to understand what is going on with the patient. I have been very happy with all my appointments with him. His assistant Ashley has been very responsive and helpful when I needed help or information."
"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!"
"I had a great experience from start to finish . Staff was friendly, nurses and anesthesiologists were informative, aftercare was great. I even received a follow up call. Thank you"
"Dr Atia is very patient and understanding. She takes time out of her busy schedule to see her patients and helps them with all she can. I have a stubborn body that has gone through 2 types of treatments already. Nothing has worked so far. Dr Atia is very determined to help me and hopefully my new medication works. Hopefully 3rd times the charm"
"Excellent and professional doctor and staff, very well run office. Thank you!"
"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 would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a local gastroenterologist. Seeing a new specialist is scary, but he built rapport quickly and I left feeling confident that he's going to be a great addition to my medical care team."
"I would recommend Dr Joseph David 200%. He's very thorough and has great bedside manner. It is apparent he cares what happens to his patients."

"I was a mess and they took very good care of me. From start to finish the procedure process went so smoothly! Better than most doctors visits in my past! Great staff and very organized caring experience. Thank you"
"Very personal, and caring I felt heard"
"I am very happy to have found Dr. Seetheram. I have been struggling with digestive issues for a long time. I hopped on a virtual call to speak to the doctor, which was convenient. He was interested in what I had to say and asked questions about the issue. I feel like he genuinely is trying to help find the cause of the problem along with getting the tests set up promptly. I would highly recommend to see him if you are having issues."
"Didn't think I needed an introduction appointment, but it was well worth it. I felt like he spent enough time with me and went over all aspects of the procedure that we would be doing."
"Dr. Drewitz and his staff have always provided the best care. He took his time and answered all my questions. I have recommended him to several friends."

"Very friendly and personable. Dr. Schwart educated me on how the colon works and the colonoscopy process during my consultation. My coloniscopy was scheduled immediately after. I will give an update after the colonoscopy"
"It’s truly my 1st experience ever, as long as you follow the steps , pay close attention to what you’re supposed to do , YOU CAN insure a safe and speedy colonoscopy , with it being my 1st, Dr.V was very warm and compassionate, introduced himself as the chief physician who will be performing the procedure, explained everything clearly and his staff so gentle, walked me through the process completely, Afterwards, , Dr.V came to check on me post-op asked if I had any questions and just a nice human being over all. Granted , I was very scared out of my mind , not knowing what to expect; absolutely terrified , although colon cancer doesn’t run in our family… but there is always a first. I am glad to say , I don’t have to come back in another 10 yrs, but they encouraged me to take healthy steps for the next go around. And to think , when I was little , I thought Diverticulosis was a form of swimming style , I was 9yrs old at the time ,don’t judge me - lol Indeed made Dr. V laugh, Rest assured you will be in the best of hands coming here 🙏🏽 Cheers to Dr. V and to incorporating a high fiber diet"

I work in the medical field and everyone from the Doctor to the nurses to the front desk and medical assistants, they are 100% phenomenal in what they do. Dr Chokshi is the BEST! I do not want to go anywhere else for a colonoscopy. I’ve had two now, with Dr Chokshi, and both times the experience was very pleasant. I know that sounds crazy for a colonoscopy, but it’s true! If you ever need a colonoscopy and worried about the experience, you need to come here, it’s a piece of cake. And I will be bringing my husband back in 3 months. I highly recommend Dr Chokshi and his team!"

"Great staff and wonderful dr. Honest and gentle will listen to you and your concerns"
"I have had many doctors in my life, but I have to say that my current team of physicians is the best by far. After suffering 12 with a debilitating illness, neither the Mayo Clinic nor NHI were able to accurately diagnose me. Dr. Wadas finally figured out what was wrong and I have been on the road to recovery this past year. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wadas. He’s extremely intelligent, very attentive, his bedside manner is incredible, and he is super nice guy. I give him my highest recommendation."
