"I have never had a colonoscopy before, but this was as painless as I could possibly have expected. Prep is horrid, but no way around that - grin and bear it!! Dr Seetharam is kind, gentle, and explained everything completely. Once I got to the office the day of the procedure, my concerns faded away. Everyone was so nice and put me at ease. The wait was minimal to get on with the procedure. I wasn't left alone, and was told what the steps were. I saw Dr Seetharam briefly before I was out like a light! I came out of the anesthesia quickly, and glad to have it over! I highly recommend Dr Seetharam and his staff!"
"Fantastic Doctors and staff! They go that extra step in dealing with your care! Thanks to that, I was in for my 1st office visit 8 years ago, and instead of going forward with a colonoscopy, Shauna admitted me to Banner with Stage IV ovarian cancer! Yes, I did get my colonoscopy, eventually. An easy process!"
"Dr Patel and staff were very helpful. Dr Patel took his time to explain everything before and after my colonoscopy."
"Dr. Hauptman is a friendly and pleasant doctor who has performed my routine colonoscopy for the past 10 years. He is attentive and professional. Highly recommend."
"I thought dr. Shifat was one of the friendliest, most personable doctors I have met. It was my first time discussing a colonoscopy, and he was very thorough and I never felt rushed. This is the type of tender care all doctors should provide."
"Dr. Schwartz is the BEST. Very clear explanation of the colonoscopy procedure at his office, and very clear explanation with photos after the procedure."
"Great consultation about the colonoscopy procedure. Will update my review once my procedure is complete."
"Even though a colonoscopy is not the most enjoyable thing to have done, I would recommend Dr. Randolph and his staff to do it . They were there for you from appointment, prep, procedure,through check out. Also follow up the next day. The staff stayed in touch from beginning to end for any questions and to check that all went well . Staff was very professional, friendly, and strived to keep you comfortable."
"Dr Kothur is very knowledgeable and pleasant! I am at ease 100 percent when I come in for a colonoscopy!"
"Great prep care & totally painless colonoscopy. Before-during & after. To be honest my memory is hazy after I met Dr. Vulcano in the procedure room. But I had no issues before or after. So two šš"
"Dr Hutchinson was very nice very professional informative but it all boiled down to getting the tests the endoscopy and colonoscopy which I was very disappointed in the fact that I could not get in until September which is a 3-month wait and he knew how very anxious I was about being afraid that I had cancer or some other horrible disease and I was extremely anxious other than that I would have given a five-star if not for the long wait."
"My colonoscopy went very smoothly, but this survey did not ID itself as being from AZ Digestive Health so it appeared very suspicious."
"The colonoscopy procedure was performed to perfection and the staff was comforting and attentive. As usual, there were no issues after the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Meline. He is knowledgable and excellent at his job."
"I had to schedule a last minute colonoscopy and Dr Randolph was amazing! He was very professional, had excellent bed side manner and showed genuine concern for my case and my comfort. Throughout the consult he was very knowledgeable and gave insight and recommendations as needed. I would definitely recommend Dr Randolph to anyone!"
"If you HAVE to have a Colonoscopy, this is the place to go! Caring, reassuring staff and wonderful doctors."
"What can be great about going for your pre-colonoscopy appointment? At least Dr. Stein and his staff make it bearable. They are pleasant and thorough and answer your questions."
"Dr Gelzayd has a wonderful bedside manner. He follows thru with kindness and patience. Everyone from start to finish during my colonoscopy were professional, well informed and made a very unpleasant procedure tolerable somehow. I must āshout outā to Dr. Gelzayd s anesthesiologist, Dr. Zencka. She was wonderful and put me at ease. Not only beautiful, but EXTREMELY competent. Although not on my top 10 list of enjoyable duties, I will not dread my 5 year check upā¦ If more doctors would follow Dr. Gelzayd and Dr. Zenckas efforts I truly believe more lives would be saved. Thanks again Doctors and staff. See you in 5 years!"
"I was pleased with the visit to Chandler Endoscopy for a colonoscopy. I had Dr Nguyenduc (for the first time). I was very pleased with him and felt very informed of the procedure. He and all of the staff I dealt with were very professional and exactly what I look for when dealing with medical professionals. All went exactly as stated and I have no complaints what-so-ever. I would recommend Dr. Nguyenduc and Chandler Endoscopy."
"Dr. Meline and his staff are great. He listens and I am taken care of well. I have been with Dr. Meline for over 30 years and unless he retires I'm not going anywhere else. He uses the latest prep methods so it is so easy to do if you have a colonoscopy."
"After a CT scan I needed to see a GI specialist. A friend told me he loves Dr Drewitts and highly recommended him. On short notice the office got me scheduled with a terrific Nurse Practitioner and we agreed a colonoscopy and endoscopy were needed due to on going belly pain and other factors. Highly recommend this team!!"
"I had an issue after my colonoscopy. Dr Shaughnessy called me and made arrangements at Banner University for tests. That night he reached out to see how I was doing. As it turned out I have a pre-existing gallbladder issue. Dr Shaughnessy is awesome. Very caring."
"If I could give him 10 stars I would. Iāve had this condition since 2017. Within 30 seconds of me explaining what was happening he pulled up the exact situation with a picture showing it on his computer. He is totally professional, yet friendly and kind. I get annual checkups regularly. I see my doctor (Dr. Saul Amber, who referred me to him. He even called him on his personal phone and told him he was sending me over.) at the first sign of anything I get checked. I had a colonoscopy done in the same facility as his office. I am 76 and in all my years of having procedures done, I have Never been so impressed with it!!! It ran like a well tuned clockwork."
"Dr. Chockshi has excellent bed manners as well as a great colonoscopy staff. He and them make you at ease and you come awake smiling"
"Dr Lam and her staff were excellent during my colonoscopy. A special shout out to nurses, Sam, Tammy, Tamra?, there was the nurse that administer the "sleep medicine" and the nurse in recovery. I'm sure they told me there names, I just don't remember. Thanks for your kindness when I shed a few tears."
"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"
"It was a good experience I don't care much for colonoscopys. But felt safe and secure with Doctor Hauptman. HE'S very professional and caring. Has a good bedside manner.His staff is great Rhonda my nurse was very professional. Did a great job putting in my IV cuz I'm a hard stick. I will be going back in a year to get another colonoscopy with Dr Hauptman."
"Dr. Ratuapli and his staff are super kind, gentle, and professional. I was super nervous about getting a colonoscopy. The nurse named April called me to schedule my appointment. She heard my anxiety over the phone and she was intentional about letting me know things will be okay. My experience going in was pleasant with every team member. All the nurses were great. The anesthesiologist, Derrick was super great. He has the greatest smile ;). I greatly appreciated Dr. Ratuapli coming out before the procedure and letting me know what will happen step-by-step. The recovery staff was just as graceful. I highly recommend this team for digestive work anytime. This is a team that not only says they care, they show it. Thank you all Y. J."
"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 officesā¦ I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a great gastrointestinal doctor šØāāļø to provide relief from digestive disorders, such as stomach pain, ulcers, reflux, constipation and Crohn's disease."
"Dr. Schwartz performed my most recent colonoscopyāthe third one since I turned 50. He undertook the procedure at the Arizona Endoscopy Center. My experience was unmatched in patient care, ease, and service. The Center was well-run, efficient, pleasant, and well-staffed. The people were incredible in making the procedure as pleasant as possible. And Dr. Schwartz was by far the best doctor to scope me! I unconditionally recommend him and the Center."
"āI personally thank you and your entire staff for the excellent care received during my Colonoscopy and Endoscopy procedure. Especially āMy experience with Dr. Nayan Patel was beyond my belief. He is very caring friendly as well as professional in dealing with patients, above all i felt like i am dealing with one of my family member. āDoctor Care is awesome! I am extremely satisfied with both the procedures. He is the best doctor i ever came across. i greatly appreciate from the bottom of my heart. Shradhanand Swamy"
"When I found out I had to have a colonoscopy, after I just had one in Dec 2019, in Las Vegas. I honestly thought about going back to Las Vegas. My Doctor and his crew treated me so well there in Vegas, it seems thatās where my confidence lied. Iām so glad I didnāt go to those measures, and found another super crew 15 min from my drive way. My wife and I have nothing but praises for Dr Chokshi and his entire crew at Arizona Digestive Health - Peoria, AZ. Thanks guysā¦see you in three yearsš"
"Dr. Chockshi has excellent bed manners as well as a great colonoscopy staff. He and them make you at ease and you come awake smiling"

"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 doesnāt 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!!"
"I saw Dr. Kanner on a Monday, and had my Colonoscopy on Wednesday. My experience was wonderful. Everyone was kind and gentle. I felt calm, and my procedure went well."
"This was my first colonoscopy with Dr. Chokshi. Everyone was very good at making me feel comfortable and relaxed; answering all my questions, addressing my concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Chokshi and his team to anyone."
"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!"
"Dr. Melina is terrific, personable, and I felt totally safe. It was a great experience. His staff, every single one, is professional, kind, helpful and top of the line in every way. Do yourself a favor, get a colonoscopy and save your life, secondly do it at this office. You deserve the best."
"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."
"I have been going to Dr Patel for at least 10+ years for my GI needs from EGDās to Colonoscopyās.. Iāve always been well taken of and been made to feel comfortable. Him and his staff are kind and caring. Iām so glad I was referred to him years ago!!"
"Very detailed explaining the exact issues of procedures that will be performed . A detailed issue? I'm having my 2nd colonoscopy.. what's so special"
"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."

"Dr Meline was awesome! Starting with a thorough and informative phone consult, then finishing up with an absolutely delightful colonoscopyšļøš„ in the end. His staff made me feel like the star of the HOLE SHOW! Thank you front desk, Angelš, Susan , Jamesšš½, Dr Perryš¤¤, and again Dr Melineš© Iāll be back as soon as possible š¤"
"Dr. Umar did a wonderful job looking over my records and notes and familiarizing himself with my medical situation. He was polite, courteous, professional and offered his honest opinion about my medical condition. He was efficient in planning out next steps and scheduling a colonoscopy. I would recommend him 100%."
"Itās truly my 1st experience ever, as long as you follow the steps , pay close attention to what youāre 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 doesnāt run in our familyā¦ but there is always a first. I am glad to say , I donāt 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 ,donāt judge me - lol Indeed made Dr. V laugh, Rest assured you will be in the best of hands coming here šš½ Cheers to Dr. V and to incorporating a high fiber diet"

"Dr. Drewitz and his whole team are fantastic. Dr. Drewitz was recommended by my primary care doc (because heās my docās doctor) for an age-based colonoscopy and the process was as painless and smooth as you could hope for. The staff as great, Dr. Drewitz has a great bedside manner and he explained the procedure and results clearly."
"This is my second time visiting this wonderful team and I can honestly say, they are on top of their game! 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. Iāve had two now, with Dr Chokshi, and both times the experience was very pleasant. I know that sounds crazy for a colonoscopy, but itās true! If you ever need a colonoscopy and worried about the experience, you need to come here, itās a piece of cake. And I will be bringing my husband back in 3 months. I highly recommend Dr Chokshi and his team!"
"Colonoscopy appointment was very professional. Doctor and nurses were very pleasant and caring. I definitely recommend this office."
"This was my second colonoscopy completed by Dr Mokhashi. He is very professional as is his team. What impressed me is he texted me the next day to see if everything was alright. If not he left a number to get in touch with him. Not all doctors do that. That is good service."
"My initial consult with Dr Gelzayd was very efficient and professional!

Tracy was awesome and so helpful! She thoroughly went over the prep work and what I can expect. She gave me her direct number and told me to call with any questions no matter how small. So far, my initial impression is a positive one!"

Things were good today and I'm good to go for another 5 years."
"January 12, 2023 Recently went to Dr. Hutchinson for a colonoscopy. Everyone I met was warm, caring, and sympathetic to my needs and concerns; all the nurses and anesthetist Patricia, Megan, Kerry and Tamara. My wife was surprised that Dr. Hutchinson took the time to call her after the procedure. and explained all the results.

"Dr. Yalam had a fantastic attitude but recommended a colonoscopy to detect any abnormal observations to prevent future complications of the GI tract. And he listed a number complex complications that can occur."
"To date I have only registered and interviewed for two procedures scheduled for early February.

Specifically he is combining the colonoscopy and EGD which is superior for the patient!"
"Dr. Faybush thoroughly explained the process and options for routine colonoscopy. I have peace of mind moving forward with it"
"Very knowlegdible and easy to talk to doctor. Answered all my questions and concerns."
"I recently had a colonoscopy preformed by Dr. Patel and staff that did a great job.

The procedure was absolutely painless and after I was driven home I was able to perform my in-home activities immediately. I highly recommend Dr. Foley."
"I have been a patient of Arizona Digestive Health for many years. During that time, I have been under the compassionate and competent care of Dr. Michael Mills,. Yesterday, I underwent an endoscopy/colonoscopy procedure at the Phoenix Endoscopy clinic, associated with Arizona Digestive Health. In true fashion, my visit was expertly coordinated and completed. Because this was not a routine scope, given that I have been symptomatic for about two months, Dr. Mills worked me in on an extremely busy clinic day in order to complete the testing before Christmas. Thank you Dr. Mills! All the staff, medical personnel, and of course, Dr. Mills, are stellar. Dr. Mills is what all doctors should aspire to being for their patients. His ability to connect with patients and show great compassion for them is truly unmatched amongst my other medical providers. Thank you Arizona Digestive Health and Phoenix Endoscopy for taking such exquisite care of me during each and every interaction!"
"I took my wife in to see Dr. Drewitz for a colonoscopy and he was caring and sincere, and he did a great job. He's the kind of Doctor you know will be on your side when you need him. Highly recommended."
"I saw so many good reviews about Dr. Mann I knew he would be my first doctor to go to with my concerns. He is friendly and kind, just as others have stated. I told him what had been going on recently, and the concerns I have. He asked questions on my health to help him understand what we should do going forward. The appointment was pleasant and easied my mind going forward. The next day I was scheduled for a colonoscopy, and they were able to get me in within two weeks. I will update my review once my procedure is over. UPDATE colonoscopy facility was nice, all nurses and employees keep you informed the whole way through. Dr Mann let me know my results quickly after procedure and eased my mind. A colonoscopy can be scary to some, but Dr Mann is great and so is his team."
"I have become a patient of Sumir Patel, beginning 3 years ago when he discovered, via EGD, the persistent burning in my chest and stomach was advanced esophageal cancer. His attentive, compassionate and professional attitude was helpful then. He directed me to the best treatment available. And with his āfamily friendā personality, through another EDG just last week, he was able to report the miracle of No Sign of Disease. Dr Patelās service and training have been invaluable to me personally."
"I had my first appointment with Dr. Verma this past week. I had been having bowel problems for a month+. I was nervous to be seeing, yet, another doctor, a specialist. Dr. Verma has a professional and calming demeanor. He asked questions and gave reassurance of his experience when asked. He recommended a procedure and I scheduled my appointment, feeling more confident. Sat this time, I would highly recommend him. I plan to give an update review after the procedure. Update: I went for my colonoscopy at Desert Endoscopy Center where Dr.Verma performs these procedures. I had heard the horror stories of others in the past who had problems with their doctor and/or clinic procedure. It was professional, personable and organized from start to finish. The anesthesiologist even talked with me and put my mind at ease. I was very comfortable and everything went well. Dr. Verma said I wouldnāt have to see him for 10 years. I even received pictures of the inside of my colon which, some of you wouldnāt appreciate but they were interesting to me. I say again, I would highly recommend Dr.Verma AND Desert Endoscopy Center. Great experience!"

"This was my second time having Dr. Gunnison perform my colonoscopy, i highly recommend him and his great staff!"

Go to someone who cares and provides reassurances, ultimately making the experience less nerve wracking! The office was easy to schedule with too. They are all organized professionals! Many thanks!!"
"I haven't had a colonoscopy in long time. I was a bit apprehensive at first. Dr. Wells made me feel comfortable and took time with me to get a good medical history. Needless to say his office staff were kind and very understanding. Made me feel good to be there."
"Iāve been a patient for years. He, and his team, discovered my colon cancer early enough (stage one) such that I had it removed in time, without the need for chemo; so far, Iāve been cancer free. As long as heās in practice, Iāll be going there for everything GI."
"Dr. Wells and his team were amazing! I needed a colonoscopy and they were able to get me in within a few days. Dr. Wells explained everything to me before and after the procedure. Great bedside manner!"
"Nice clean atmosphere, friendly staff. I didn't have to wait long for my appointment. All my follow up appointments were coordinated with my approval. The only complaint I have is the long wait for my colonoscopy, I was told to call to check on cancellations, to get in earlier."
"I had Dr. Schwartz perform my first colonoscopy several years ago. I trust him to do my follow up. He is a highly skilled gastroenterologist, and would not go to anyone else."
"Iām a 63 year old male who had a horrible experience with my first colonoscopy at age 50 . I basically had a vasal vagal reaction and my heart rate dropped to 33 beats per minute during the procedure. They gave me something that woke me up out of unconsciousness with the scope still in place . I remember screaming ā it hurts , it hurts !!ā . I think this happened because the doctor was too rough. However, I had a completely different experience with Dr Atia . She explained why she thought this happened and what her and her team were going to do to prevent it from happening again. I remember waking up after the procedure and I didnāt realize they had even started. Everything went flawlessly. I will never have another colonoscopy without Dr Atia at the helm . She was amazing!! Sincerely, Bruce Thomas"
"I went for a colonoscopy, I was sedated so Icrashed out immediatly and next thing you know I was waken up because they were finished. It was easy peasy and did not feel a thing. Dr. H. is great doctor and I highly recommend him."
"My experience getting an endoscopy and colonoscopy with Dr. Meline was excellent! Everything went very smooth. I highly recommend him! :)"
"Pleasant, I feel comfortable and trust Dr. Lam. There was few questions, I have an appointment for colonoscopy."
"It was time for my well health age appropriate colonoscopy and I was referred to Dr. Lam. She is a complete treasure with outstanding bedside manners. I met her for the first time at my consult appointment where she explained everything in detail. Morning of my actual colonoscopy appointment she presented with an amazing attitude, was completely compassionate, explained how my time at the facility was going to be spent, asked if I had questions, explained who her staff was and what those individuals responsibilities would be in caring for me during my visit. After my procedure she came in with all of the details, she showed extremely patience, attentive to my questions, and again, compassionate. Dr. Lam is an exceptional doctor who truly cares about her patients. I will most definitely recommend her to my family & friends."
"The prep for a colonoscopy is so difficult that it leaves you with fear. When I arrived I was instantly put at ease. The nurse that did my iv was great,as you only stuck me once with no pain. That never happen with me. I was taken back where I again saw Dr Lam and the ansthesist. Went to sleep easily awoke to very good news. The facility was better than going to the hospital. I give all very high marks. L. Bonney"
"Dr. David eased my fears of having a colonoscopy. He was very understanding and patient with me. I went to him two other times and always had a positive experience with the procedure but itās been eight years and I was nervous to be put to sleep. He worked with me and eased my fears. I am not dreading the colonoscopy anymore. I highly recommended Dr. David."
"Dr. Panossian listens to your concerns and addresses them. I am so thankful to have found him. Been putting off a colonoscopy for 5 years but went ahead and had one because of his mannerism and professionalism. I would and do recommend him highly"
"Great bedside manner and with explaining the process of a colonoscopy."
"Dr. Charles Saperstein made my colonoscopy an easy experience. He is very professional and personable. He called me personally after the biopsy of polyps he had removed to let me lnow they were benign. Most surgeons leave that to their staff. I can't say enough good things about him."
"I have a very high regard for EVG, in most part due to Dr.Gregory Nguyenduc, who saw me through a life threatening disease(hep c), starting at a time when there was no safe, sure cure until the time the current one became affordable for all, as well as my first and, (10 yrs.later), second colonoscopy, just yesterday. Dr. Nguyenduc, in my opinion, is an excellent doctor in his field who is also caring, listens to you and is easy to speak to as well. And thatās saying a lot considering the two issues Iāve seen him for are the kind nobody likes to talk about. I felt it important to put them in my review to make my point about this doctor and perhaps make it easier for others to decide to finally make that appointment theyāve been putting off. I feel I am safe and in good hands with Dr.Nguyenduc and would highly recommend him to any one who has a need to see a doctor in his field. I would also like to add the staff at EVG is friendly, helpful and easy to work with as well. Special shout out to Jeremy, who went above and beyond anything I would ever expect from a doctorās office, to help me out, please know you are appreciated."
"Everyone @ Arizona Endoscopy Center were extremely kind, professional, and efficient with me and the colonoscopy procedure I recommend this Center to all, you won't be disappointed."
"Awesome doc. I'm a family medicine physician in Ahwatukee and I've been referring patients to Dr David for over 10 years based on his expertise, skill, judgment and care for my patients. When it was time for me to get my screening colonoscopy it was an easy decision of who to choose."
"My first colonoscopy in AZ was awesome. Preparation the day before isn't fun (though I got an A+ lol) Highly recommended Dr. Mills for this procedure. His staff was awesome as well."
"The medical staff here are very good, not only friendly but also professional They cleared two polyps in my colon. I didn't feel any pain during the operation. The colonoscopy was very good for me. When I returned home, they contacted me in time to ask me how I felt and whether there was any bleeding. They are very careful and make me feel warm. I am very grateful to the doctors, anesthesiologists and nurses here. They are the best."
"Dr Wadas performed colonoscopy and endoscopy on both my husband and I. He was professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to throughly explain the procedure and prep work involved. When the results came back, he met with us to review findings. (All results were fine) He explained results and made recommendations to ensure optimal health. I highly recommend Dr Wandas and his team"
"My first time getting a colonoscopy. I have to say every one at Arizona digestive health was spectacular. Dr. Sawyer made me feel so comfortable. He explain procedure and what to expect. Thank you so much."
"Dr Levy was excellent during my teleconference phone call and handled all my needs and got me scheduled for my colonoscopy. Thank You"
"I had my first colonoscopy a couple days ago, and Dr Tivedi did my procedure. Before the procedure he stopped in to introduce himself to me and was very professional and to the point. I was at ease before going in."
"Great Doctor and great office. They made my colonoscopy easy and fast. I would definitely recommend Dr Mann and his team"
"Dr. Kanner was very thorough. I had areas of concern from an MRI I had earlier to focus on .He sent me for more tests before my colonoscopy."
"I have been visiting Dr. Kothur for over 2 years since I was diagnosed with colon cancer. He communicates clearly and clearly is an expert in his area of medicine. I can recommend Dr. Kothur without reservation."
"Dr. Meline came highly recommended from my fellow co-workers and Radiologists I work with. He performed my colonoscopy and I felt like it was very organized and all the staff made me feel very comfortable as a patient.I even had my brother come from New Mexico for his scope and colonoscopy. I was happy that my colonoscopy came out good , but I was still having problems. So I made a follow up appointment and he was extremely helpful getting me on the right path with my digestive problems. He puts you at ease talking about these personal problems that are not easy to discuss with anyone."
"This was my second colonoscopy with Dr. Mokhashi. While he is a great doctor, I was a bit disappointed at my last visit. After I had woken from anesthesia, I was met with the nurse who stayed with me while I got ready to leave. What I am not happy about, is they had me leave the āroomā I was in and sit in a chair located in the hall. I had to wait for Dr. Mokhashi to come out and discuss my results. I felt this was not the place to discuss my results. Out in the open where everyone around could hear. I felt I could not have the private discussion I wanted with the Dr. due to not having the privacy. I was also very upset about being told my prep was poor. I did everything I was told to do. It made me feel like I had failed. Now I have to go back in a year for another colonoscopy due to not being ācleanedā out enough. I do not feel I was treated as well as I was the first time. They were awesome then. I feel the personal care was not up to par. I still have questions that I was not able to ask being sat in a hall."
"Colonoscopy. Quick and painless."
"Dr. Kothur was very polite and listened pretty well. He also agreed to order the tests that I requested which I deeply appreciate. My concern is this: he seemed too quick to recommend a colonoscopy to look for an inflammatory gut condition that he would only treat with triple antibiotics. I know I have an inflamed gut - Iāve had IBS for years. But what if I have a protozoan illness like Giardia? Or yeast overgrowth from Candida? Antibiotics donāt work for those. And, they wipe out your flora. But he was quick to put me in a box of age and gender and didnāt ask a lot of questions or order many labs. The ones he did order I am grateful for, hence 4 stars for his cooperation. But what I would prefer is a doctor who does a thorough work up to discern causation before jumping to invasive and expensive procedures."

"Dr Lam is professional, very knowledgeable, yet caring and takes time to patiently explain medical terms in a manner that is understandable without being condescending. I appreciate the fact that she doesnāt automatically assume that every patient who goes into her office is automatically In need of endoscopy or colonoscopy!"
"Dr Lam was referred to me by a family member! She came very highly recommended. I wasnāt really sure how our personalities would work! I was so pleased with her. She listened to my concerns and my problems. I was reassured with her outlook and plans for my care! She was direct with me in her explanation of my up and coming colonoscopy! She reassured me that she would take good care of me and I certainly believed her every word! I am excited to get beyond this next chapter of my life! For that Dr Lam has given me the confidence making it easier for me! I thank Dr Lam so much for her time and yes I have full confidence in her ability to get me through this! Sincerely Randall L ALTMEYER"
"Dr. Faybush saved my husbandās life when she recognized his aggressive and quickly growing stage 4 colon cancer tumor. I am forever in her debt for her expeditious, professional response. In addition, she has a great sense of humor and a down to earth manner which helps patients and families cope with such a traumatic diagnosis."

"Dr. Lam is very interested in you, the patient, she asks important questions and answers your questions thoroughly. She also did my most recent colonoscopy and it was by far the easiest one Iāve had. I recommended her to a friend and he had a similar experience. I will continue to use her for any future gastrointestinal needs."
"Dr. Mills and his staff were wonderful! Friday morning colonoscopy isnāt my first choice to start a weekend. It was my first and I was nervous! Everyone put me at ease and answered all of my questions! I canāt say enough great things about Dr. Mills and his staff! Get your colonoscopy scheduled and get it over with! Itās a breezeš."
"The clinic is clean and everyone is super friendly. They have the process down with everything being timely. I have been going to this facility for years to see Dr. MacCollum for EGDās and colonoscopies and each have been handled in a friendly and professional way. Dr. MacCollumās bedside manor is kind and compassionate as my results have not always been favorable. Thank you so much."
"Dr very nice explained everything to me. Only reason I gave 4stars not 5 is because I have to wait 21/2 months for My colonoscopy. I have been very worried about testing positive not sleeping much always thinking what if , I would be almost 3 months without any treatment. Again everyone has been great from front desk to dr. Thank you Joseph Steinhart"
"Did my first colonoscopy and it went very well"
"Dr. Mokhashi is the best! The prep was tolerable and if he hadn't taken pictures I would not have believed the colonoscopy was done."
"I have been seeing Dr. Labowitz for about three years. Sheās the nicest person, caring, compassionate, understanding. I just had a colonoscopy, and she asked how I liked the prep? We both started laughing as I made a face!! she made me feel comfortable and her staff is outstanding. I would highly recommend doctor Labowitz to my friends and family."
"This was my first colonoscopy check and so I was a little nervous. Dr Meline walked me through the process in details and answered all the questions I had. His office conveniently provided lots of information for preparation in addition to the "prep-kit" at a small reasonable cost (saved me time and money). On the day of the procedure everything went smoothly. The staff were very pleasant and made everything comfortable. I was given a copy of my results (all clear!) and recommendations for the next check up. I would definitely recommend Dr Meline and his staff to anyone reading this review. Very professional and pleasant!"

"Doctor Mahajani is probably one of the best and caring doctors I've come across in a long time. He did not only helped me with my health symptoms but helped me understand how stress and anxiety affected my health. He asked the right questions and most of all listened to what I had to say. The staff always friendly and professional. Roxeanne calls me the next day after my EGD to find out how I was doing, not too many Doctor's practices do that.... I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED! Keep it up Desert Endoscopy Center! I am thankful for such a wonderful team, I will refer family and friends as I'm sure they will be treated with equal professionalism and warmth."
"I will admit that initially I tried to avoid scheduling a colonoscopy. It had been at least 5 years since my previous one. After meeting with Dr. Bruce Noland and discussing the prep procedure I felt more comfortable. Dr. Noland listened to my concerns and was very helpful. He gave me excellent information that made preparing for the procedure stress free and I had no discomfort. Dr. Noland is the best!"
"The visit here was comfortable from start until I left. Of course It was my first visit so I didn't know what to expect. The staff was friendly explained every procedure being done so that was reassuring for me. Dr mills and his nurses introduced them selves even before my colonoscopy procedure. I can say there was no pain at all and I didn't feel drowsy or sick when everything was finished. I had a good visit but most thanks to the staff for their professionalism."
"Dr. Chokshi recently performed my colonoscopy procedure and I honestly could not have picked a better provider! He is such an amazing doctor and has an impeccable bedside manner.

Thank you so much Dr. Chokshi!!"

Dr Mann provided very professional and competent service. I greatly appreciated his casual, reassuring nature and highly recommend Dr Mann should you need a gastrointestinal doctor."
"Found Dr. Meline on Yelpā¦ was a little scared about it, but I cannot say enough positive things about this doctor and his office. From the time I called to make an appointment, phone was answered by a super friendly comforting woman who made me feel assured. Then the communication from the office setting up my account, tele appointment, and procedure appointment was prompt, easy, convenient. Then the tele appointment was amazing! Dr. Meline was right on time, went over everything, was humorous, spent time to answer any questions, I loved this kind of appointment - total respect of my time. Now to the picking up of what I like to call my weight loss kit.. the prep kit or āSh*%t kitā is offered complete at the doctors office, so convenient and economical. Brilliant idea. The receptionist in Dr. Melineās office was engaging, efficient and thorough. Plus the parking is right outside the office door. Now to my prepā¦ the best prep of my three previous ones. Day of colonoscopyā¦ got to surgical centerā¦ walked in, did my paperwork, was called back all within ten minutes; no time for me to read my book, bummer. Haha Loved, loved loved the āstaff in the backā. Amazingly efficient, friendly, engaging, great communication. Again, everything was on time. Dr. Meline was waiting for me as soon as they wheeled me backā¦ a few questions next thing I know Iām finished and up and Dr. Meline is going over my procedure and results. Asked Dr. Meline if heād be my primary care doctor but he said no go. Great experience! Highly recommend."

"During my initial consultation, Dr. Verma answered every question in terms that I and my wife could easily understand. He also explained why using SUPREP (Soo-prep) Bowel Prep Kit was more effective in helping to ensure that the bowels would be completely evacuated. Although I followed the preparation procedures to the letter, Dr. Verma was concerned that because of my specific combination of other health conditions, that it would be preferable, out of an abundance of caution, to delay my procedure by an additional hour. During that delay he stopped by several times to reassure me. I appreciated the personalized care and attention provided by Dr. Verma and his assistants, the Nurses and other support staff and was discharged with only a slight delay from what had been anticipated. All said, the thought of a "Colonoscopy" is a lot less concerning than it used to be. A big thanks to all who made that possible!!! :)"
"Had a very good experience with Dr Kavathia. Excellent communicator, informative, thoughtful and caring. Both he and his entire staff were a breath of fresh air compared to most others. I highly recommend Dr Kavathia and his staff should you require a Colonoscopy, Upper GI or consultation."

Throughout the consult he was ver knowledgeable and gave insight and recommendations as needed. I would definitely recommend Dr Randolph to anyone!"
"Since I was 12 years old, I have had my IBD problems and not a single doctor in Illinois could figure out what was wrong with me. At 31 years old I moved to Arizona, I saw Arizona Digestive Health in my insurance and made an appointment. Dr Abrams listened to my concerns and problems, and said he thinks he knows what it is, but have to do test, blood work, colonoscopy (not fun), but he figured it out. It took 19 years for a doctor to figure out what has been wrong with me that no other gastroenterologist in Illinois could figure out! I'm 37 now and I will NOT be leaving Dr. Abrams unless he retires. He helped me with symptoms, physical and mental. He talks to you like your a human not some study he has to do. His bed side manners are awesome and won't have it any other way. Thank you Dr. Abrams."

"This is the second time that I needed Brad Gelzayd MD to perform my colonoscopy. I cannot stress enough his quest for the best patient's satisfaction, easy to communicate, and explaining in detail the total procedure. Great interaction with front office Marie on receiving advice and help on setting up the procedure. Also, I have to mention the high degree of courtesy, professionalism, and caring for the patient from nurses, medical assistant at North Valley Surgery Center."
"Dr. Bradford Gelzayd is a true exceptional doctor. A year ago I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy done by Dr. Gelzayd and I was very happy with over all out come of the procedure and follow-up care done by face to face tele visit due to high of Covid-19. I was a new patient since moved to Scottsdale from CA after my retirement, but when I met Dr. Gelzayd I knew he is an excellent doctor who really cares his patients. He took his time to go over my progress and discussed plan of care in detail which is very important to me and I really appreciated it. I am very lucky and happy patient Dr. Gelzayd is my G-I doctor!!!"

"Iāve been going to Dr. Stein for over 15 years, maybe 20. He is a great Doctor. Very caring and takes the time to listen. He diagnosed my Mother with Colon Cancer and was so calm & caring. Immediately referred us to an oncologist & Surgeon. I have been in the hospital many times ( for other reasons) and have asked for consult with him and he does his own visits and responded right away. I would not hesitate to use him."

I will keep going to him for my procedures and care. Thank you Dr.Yanish for your care for me.š"
"It was difficult to get an appointment but I came to know later that their scheduling system was down that day. Doctor Patel is very sincere, knowledgeable and friendly. I had a very good consultation session and colonoscopy with him."
"Dr. Sapperstein is a highly competent and concerned physician. He did my last colonoscopy, and I highly recommend him. He actually listens when I talk to him and tries to allay any concerns. If I could add more stars, I would."

"Giving reviews on your colonoscopy may be a bit squeamish for some but itās a necessity we all need to deal with especially after the age of 45. I have had 4 thus far and Dr. Kothur and his team did a great job putting me at ease and keeping me informed every step along the way..The day of the procedure everything was explained step-by-step. When the procedure was over I was informed of the results by Dr. Kothur. Excellent care from beginning to end. I would recommend him and his team to anyone needing this procedure. Five stars!"

His office staff is extremely friendly and seem genuinely happy to be at work. They were calming and concerned about my well being. I appreciated this! Great job and I will be referring you as often as I can!"

From check in to the procedure room the staff were extremely friendly, efficient, explained all steps and what to expect. It was as pleasant of an experience as I could have hoped for. Highly recommend Dr. Meline!"
"Iāve been a patient of Dr Meline for 17 years. He was recommended by my gynecologist who said āI wouldnāt trust my butt to any other doctorā. A recommendation doesnāt get any better than that. Dr Meline is very patient and professional. One of his major goals is to prevent cancer so he is extremely thorough when performing his procedures. I believe that Dr Meline - through my regular screenings - will help significantly reduce my chances of developing colon cancer. His office staff, nurses and anesthesiologists are very kind and considerate. His endoscopy center is first rate. I can also honestly say that āI wouldnāt trust my butt to any other doctorā."
"After noticing some symptoms I scheduled a consult with Dr Meline and he recommended that I get a colonoscopy. He located a polyp that if left alone would have turned into cancer. He made me feel comfortable and his staff was great on the day of the procedure. I definitely recommend him"
"I did my research to find "The Best" Gastro with the most impressive credentials. Dr. Meline was the winner! The initial video consult was professional, informative and convenient as I live in Sedona. On the day of the procedure, I felt nervous, but very well taken care of by the wonderful staff and nurses. My anesthesiologist was the best and Dr. Meline had me in and out fairly quickly with no complications. What a relief! He and his office reached out to me after the procedure to follow up. Nobody wants to have a colonoscopy but if you need one, I highly recommend Dr. Meline."
"Dr. Seetharam is amazing! I felt heard and that my issues and concerns were being addressed. He listened to me and gave me great advice. He answered all my questions and took time to understand my family health history. I went in to see him as a precaution and left reassured that nothing was wrong. He suggested I have a colonoscopy to get a baseline for my health. He explained the procedure step by step and alleviated my fears. Thank you for making my dreaded colonoscopy effortless. You are a very kind and compassionate physician. I really appreciated your superb care."
"I have been seeing Dr Mahajani for many years. He is kind, patient and takes the time to answer all my questions . I have referred many friends to Dr. Mahajani and they think highly of him as well. I was hoping after I referred 10 friends Iād get my next colonoscopy free!š"
"I met Dr. Foley in the hospital undergoing emergency surgery. He was kind & supportive. I worked with him afterward to get a reversal of a colostomy done. The only awkwardness that I had was the 2nd colonoscopy wearing the colostomy bag. His office should have informed me to bring a new one to re attach, so I had to tell them to save my bag & put it back on me. Great Doc, 5 Stars! Thank's Dr. Mike!"
"She is wonderful. She suggested an alternative to a colonoscopy which was available to me because of past Colonoscopies and family history. I am rejoicing I do not have to go through that prep."
"Dr. Faybush made me feel very comfortable with my first colonoscopy with her. Her office was very generous in providing me with the cleansing kit when my insurance wouldn't pay for it. I will definitely be a repeat patient."
"I am a Canadian who required a colonoscopy after a positive FIT test in Canada Although Health Care in Canada is presumed great, my wait time was 4 months to have this procedure. With a cancer history, the wait was very stressful. I attended Dr Ahmedās clinic on Friday and was given my colonoscopy on the following Tuesday . Dr Ahmed was amazing. He was so compassionate and attentive, and took his time to explain everything, and answer all my questions. At the clinic, the staff were so kind and caring. Without insurance, I was a self pay, and the cost was so reasonable. I will most definitely be recommending him to all, especially all the Canadian Snowbirds who cannot access adequate healthcare in Canada. Amazing Service!!!!!"
"Dr. Ahmedās practice was referred to me through my Primary Care Physician for post-COVID GI issues and for a routine colonoscopy exam. The appointment office was clean, prompt, friendly and thorough. Dr. Ahmed has a very pleasant bedside manner, spent a lot of time discussing conditions and solutions, providing clear explanations and illustrations and endless patience with all of my questions. He is conservative in his approaches and very kind. The procedural office was very convenient, modern, clean, attentive and friendly staff and super efficient. A 5 star doctor with wonderful facilities and staf. Highly recommend."
"The experience was great. I went in for an EGD. David Drewitz is very informative and cares. He took the time to explain my situation and what the EGD would find. After the procedure made sure I was ok and explained what he found. I left well informed of what I needed to do to take better care of myself and he let me know what would happen next. I would highly recommend Dr David Drewitz if your looking for a GI. Thank you."
"My best friend didnāt let me down when she referred me to Dr. Wells. While endoscopy and colonoscopy are not tests you look forward to, I canāt say enough about Dr. Wells, his office team, and the team at North Valley Endoscopy Center. Dr. Wells is a very caring and extremely knowledgeable doctor. I knew I was in good hands with him. The morning of the procedures was scary as I had never had an endoscopy and it had been 11 years since my last colonoscopy. The facility team was just wonderful! Knowing I was scared, they all went out of their way to make me feel at ease, but I believe really thatās the type of folks they are to everyone. I am so pleased that I chose Dr. Wells and his team. Please donāt hesitate to get these VERY important tests. They can save your life and Dr. Well and his team will take GREAT care of you. Thanks Dr. Wells. Iāll see you in 10 years š"
"Have been a patient of Doc Singer for about 20 yrs / he has been great at helping me deal with my gut issues & resolving them. I recommend him to everyone that needs a colonoscopy or has gut issues"
"Dr. Shiva is very kind, personable and very professional. In both office setting and prep for EGD/Colonoscopy. He and his staff ensure comfort level is met before beginning procedures. I would recommend Dr. Shiva to anyone needing to have these procedures done or just for consultation."
"Iāve been a patient of Dr John Wells over thirty years now and would recommend him highly. He diagnosed my Ulcerative Colitis in 1990 and has cared for me through every flare up, hospital stay, colonoscopy and medication change with kindness, consideration and successful remission. He and his staff are top notch in my book. John Scott Fitzgerald"
"Dr. David Drewitz is a fantastic MD. He knew exactly what I was saying about my ulcerative colitis and acid reflux. I'm getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy in April, yey."
"Dr Schwartz is a great gastrointestinal doctor. He explains everything that you're going to go through in great detail and it makes you feel completely at ease. When when you're colonoscopy is all over he gives you a great understanding of what to expect and what he found. I've used Dr Schwartz for My colonoscopy and endoscopy for at least 20 years and wouldn't go to any other gastrointestinal doctor."
"The best place to have a colonoscopy done. I have the best provider. Dr. Mokhashi!! He is the best!!š"
"I came to Dr Kavathia with a variety of issues and heās been incredible every step of the way. Any visit or procedure, I have been treated with care and kindness and heās always genuinely concerned for your well being. If you have ANY digestive issues whatsoever, or are looking to have that dreaded colonoscopy doneā¦ THIS is the place to go where you will feel at ease and that your health matters."
"I had put off having a colonoscopy due to fear of the unknown. From the time I first visited AZ Digestive Health I was made at ease by the friendly staff of nurses and technicians. Upon meeting and speaking with Dr. Kavathia I was made even more comfortable as he provided explanation of my procedure and answered all of my questions professionally and with great care and sincerity."
"Thanks to Dr. Trivedi I am so grateful He asked me do do a colonoscopy and endoscope. I had just had one done 5 years ago at another facility, they said I was good for 10 yrs. The staff were nice and very personable they went out of there way to make sure everyone is comfortable. They explained all the things they had to get done to prep me for my procedure. The Dr came by to see if I had any last minute questions. When I did finally wake up they helped my husband to the car."
"I was having my first colonoscopy and was very nervous. The staff were awesome and Dr Hutchinson was amazing. Would highly recommend."
"Dr. Chokshi and entire staff were excellent. They run a tight ship, very professional, thorough, and friendly. The procedure itself produced zero sensation or discomfort. With sedation, just woke up as though from a short nap, and it was done. Not at all groggy, mildly pleasant even. I had put off doing this (colonoscopy), but my concerns were unfounded. I wouldn't hesitate to use ADH again if needed."
"It had been 10 years, since my last colonoscopy. The prep was fairly easy, and the procedure was quick and easy. Dr. Mann explained what he would be doing beforehand, and afterwards, he explained their findings. I would highly recommend Dr. Mann."
"The best you can have doing a colonoscopy. Will let you know how and what happened during the procedure."
"From the front office staff, to the nurses in pre-and post op, as well as Dr. Kavathia and his crew in the procedure room, having a colonoscopy couldnāt be any better. Fabulous experience!!"
"Dr. Labowitz saved my life. I had been going to another doctor who kept telling me I had polyps which he removed but the pain & constipation continued for almost 2 years! Dr. Labowitz performed a colonoscopy & found a pre cancerous growth inside the small colon toward the appendix. She immediately told me I had to get surgery right away. I did and was told it would have developed into cancer. Thank God that Dr. Labowitz is thorough & knows what shes doing. I honestly believe I wouldn't be writing this today if it weren't for changing doctors. I will always be grateful."
"Dr. Randolph has been my doctor for several years and I am well informed on my digestive health. He does a great job of explaining procedures in terms that the average person understands. I have had colonoscopies, endoscopies and a capsule endoscopy without any pain or discomfort."
"Dr. Brenda Dennert is a great provider and very professional.Iām very happy with my services with her. Need a colonoscopy? See Dr. Dennert."
"Visiting a GI doctor was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. I have been having health problems because of the radiation treatment I recieved for my cervical cancer. Dr. Tharalson was prepared to talk to me on my visit, he read all my medical records. Discussed the possibilities of my intestinal issues. He was very thorough and patient and caring. I felt very comfortable discussing everything with him. We scheduled a colonoscopy a week later. The staff were very professional and so nice. They made this a good experience. Highly recommend."
"Last week I met with Dr Kavathia to consult on my routine colonoscopy. His staff was efficient gathering my information and my appointment started on time. He covered details of my procedure as well as my options. I then moved on to scheduling. I am confident things will go as smoothly with my proceedure."
"Love Dr. Stein! My husband and I feel super blessed to have found this caring doctor. He cares about the good health of his patients and he is going to go the extra mile to make sure he keeps you in that good health. I was so impressed that his office sent annual reminders that I needed my colonoscopy for 3 years straight.... Finally I made it a priority to schedule this important procedure... I don't think I would have done this without he & his staffs staying on top of this šš"
"Dr Mills 11 out of 10. Great practice. Hope I feel the same after my colonoscopy š²"
"As colonoscopies go, and me being high risk for colon cancer at a young age, I have sever anxiety. I want to know that my doctor is caring and most importantly competent. I admit I had concerns about Dr. Volcano's age (he looks sooo young) but he is both caring and competent in his field and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a good gastroenterologist."
"The Nurses that took care of me before, during and after my colonoscopy genuinely acted like they cared about my well-being. I had the Miralax/Gatorade/Dulcolax prep to prepare. I met the Dr who performed the procedure briefly. I did not experience any problems during the procedure or afterwards. I did throw up some of the prep during the night before. I could not have anyone with me in the waiting room, nor when I woke up afterwards. My ride had to meet me outside. These precautions were in place because of Covid."
"Visit before my colonoscopy. He was friendly and answered all my questions."
"Dr. Joseph is AMAZING. He solved my stomach pain issues for 16 years. He is very compassionate and empathetic. He is a good listener. He ordered tests that are highly require unlike other 3 GIs I went to in the past. They right away suggests Endo & Colonoscopy. His staff is very friendly too...specially Betty."
"Iāve had 3 previous colonoscopy and always felt bad afterwards. This is the best one Iāve had, wonderful doctor and staff , very organized, professional and efficient!! Highly recommend the group and most definitely Dr Stein."
"After facing some weird symptoms over the past few years I recently decided to try to figure out what was happening with my body. I've seen 7 different doctors in the past 6 months and when I brought up the possibility of an auto immune disease like celiac disease I was often dismissed and sent for more tests. I finally found a doctor willing to do a blood panel for celiac which came back with extremely high levels. They recommended me to get a biopsy done but said it would take 3+ months to get into a GI specialist. I decided that I didn't want to wait that long and that is when I found Dr. Meline. He was able to see me via Telehealth in the same week that I called looking for an appointment and validated my concerns of it being celiac while never dismissing my concerns. I was scheduled for my EGD at the endoscopy center, had my appointment, got my results, and had my follow-up appointment in the span of only 2 weeks. I can't explain how much I appreciated the continuous communication and quick response time with both him, his medical assistants, and the receptionists. If you are looking for a GI specialist that prioritizes your time, treats you with respect, and is open to listening to your concerns I would recommend Dr. Meline many times over. I am so grateful that I found him when I did!"
"Admit it, no one enjoys getting a colonoscopy, however Dr. Meline and staff made the experience great. The entire process was so easy and stress-free, and I felt well taken care of. I will be back for all future procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Meline and staff. Thank you!"
"Just had the best colonoscopy ever! Everyone was so nice and took very good care of me!"
"Used Premier for a Colonoscopy but they would not let you in the facility without first doing a COV-19 test a week before with a negative outcome. Only then could I schedule my procedure (thank you). Facility is clean and very professionally maintained, the staff is outstanding and they all perform their jobs extremely proficiently! The facility is easy to find using GPS and has ample parking and the staff is very serious about social distancing and will only bring you into the building one at a time to check in and complete paperwork. Nice work ladies, very professional and courteous with great attitudes since the masks covered the smiles! Looking forward to next visit in ten years God willing!!"
"Dr Chirag D. Trivedi does not mess around. He is a top notch GI guy. He takes care of my routine colonoscopy and has taken care of emergency GI bleeds, acid reflux and other gastric issues. He is extremely intelligent and professional! I have a complex but manageable medical conditions, including kidney and cardiac and he works well with other physicians to protect my quality of life. He is careful to guard your overall health, does not run unnecessary tests nor over prescribe medications. He has a good gut instinct and a way of calming you down by being straight with you, confident in his knowledge. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, especially patients who need to guard against other medical complications. Be Well."
"Great experience! This is my second time seeing Dr. Gregory Nguyenduc for a colonoscopy. I have a family history of colon cancer and go in every 3-5 years. Dr. Nguyenduc always listens and answers my questions. He and his staff are warm and professional. This is a big deal to me as it's uncomfortable to go in for this exam! I was called before the procedure and also after to follow up on how I was doing the next day. The doctor always goes over everything before and after the procedure to be sure my questions are answered. He also gave a detailed report after, to my husband. Highly recommend!"
"I paid for my first colonoscopy through the Colonoscopy Assist Program since I have a high deductible health insurance plan and was set up with the Arizona Digestive Health facility. My procedure was yesterday and I had a great experience. The whole process went very smoothly and the nurses were so kind and caring, especially Mary Kay. Dr. Hutchinson and the Anesthesiologist were also both very nice. I was so nervous about the procedure but everyone really helped to put my mind at ease and I couldn't be happier with my entire experience. Highly recommend this place to all people in need of a colonoscopy!"
"I can not understand all the negative reports. I never had to wait. Dr was very good and prescribed medication for my pain & vomiting. Then schedule an endoscopy. 4 weeks later a follow up endoscopy. All is clear now. That was last year This year I had an colonoscopy. Didn't know when I fell asleep or anything about what was going on. They just woke me up and I was fine. No discomfort. Couldn't even tell a had a procedure done. Would highly recommend this place."
"I honestly can't say enough good things about EVG. I have seen them for over 15 years now and each time they have shown nothing but total care and concern for my well-being. Having colon cancer in my immediate family I have to get a colonoscopy every 5 years. I started early and just did my 3rd one with EVG. Everyone from the front office, Lyn my NP, the doctor who did my previous 2 colonoscopies and Dr. Burgess who just did my most recent everyone was truly amazing. And at the facility where they perform the colonoscopies they are just as wonderful. Everyone there made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. So I wouldn't hesitate to recommend EVG to anyone who needs to see a gastroenterologist for any reason."
"Dr. Meline and his staff are professional and efficient. They are friendly and keep you informed during the entire process and make the experience as comfortable as possible. I would recommend Dr. Meline and encourage everyone to get tested for colon cancer once they reach 45."
"Dr. Meline, even though very busy, is kind and informative with his patients. As a patient, I feel a lot of confidence in his ability, knowledge, and being thorough. When I had my colonoscopy, I knew I could not have had one done better. His staff is also very thorough and kind. I was given plenty of chances to ask questions and address any concerns I had. Seamless experience."
"I am so over the moon happy with Dr. Umar. The best Gastro Dr. I have ever worked with and I have had 25 years of GI issues some life threatening. My oldest son is 37 and has Autism. He needed to have an immediate Colonoscopy and Endoscopy and they got him in within 2 days of us calling. He had his procedure yesterday and they made him feel so comfortable, knew what would scare him and he came out with a smile on his face."
"It is very hard to find doctors that dont make you feel embarrassed for bad decisions you've made in your past. She gave me the chance to explain and she showed in her eyes how much she understood. I had a colonoscopy and the throat scope (forgot fancy name) the same day. I was terrified! Went through each step trying not to cry right before they put me under and Dr. Lam held my hand. I will never forget that as long as I live because that's all I needed and it calmed me so much I wasn't scared. She has so much compassion in her heart. Just that to me was going above and beyond and I cant thank you enough for helping me."
"We saw Dr. Gelzayd after my husband had a visit to the ER for stomach/intestinal pain. Dr. Gelzayd was very thorough and easy to talk with. He reviewed the test results we brought in and then suggested a colonoscopy for further diagnosis. His colonoscopy prep method is much better than the traditional colonoscopy prep. The procedure went well and we are completely happy with the entire experience. We would highly recommend Dr. Gelzayd to our family and friends, especially to those who have under gone a colonoscopy before. You will be amazed at how much easier his prep procedure is! It was so easy for my husband, I am now scheduling mine which is two years over due because I was afraid of the prep."
"I was a little worried to go here because of the low reviews. However, I have had an endoscopy and colonoscopy at this facility and I was happy with my experiences. Everyone I came across was kind, warm and professional."
"Dr. Maharani is an amazing doctor. He answered all my questions during the office visits. Before the colonoscopy procedure he knew I was scared and made sure to explain the procedure. After the procedure he went over the results with me and was patient answering all my questions."
"A colonoscopy is not a pleasant thing to do, but it is necessary, especially since my mother died of colon cancer. I have to say, Dr Meline in Scottsdale brought humor and comfort (yes comfort) to the procedure. The front office was friendly and helpful. It was the easiest, most painless one Iāve ever had. That was unexpected! By the way, clean bill if health!"
"My husband and I are very impressed with Dr. Meline and his staff. I took my husband to this facility for his colonoscopy 2 days ago. The entire process from start to finish was exemplary and far exceeded our expectations. This facility is top notch, extremely professional and perfectly run. Dr. Meline is a doctor who is very knowledgeable, professional, efficient and also very engaging. Loved his sense of humor and his forthright approach to encouraging people to get their colonscopy checks done sooner rather than later. This doctor is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. My husband was also impressed and was put at ease by the entire process. Dr. Meline made the procedure a very pleasant and positive experience. Thank you Dr. Meline and staff!!"
"I had Dr. Schwartz for the last few years and he's been great at diagnosing my ulcerative colitis and executing my colonoscopy. He's seems like a decent person and is very straightforward. I've never had any problems with him and I was surprised to see he only had one star reviews at the time of me posting this."
"Both my husband and I have been seeing Dr. Mark Gulinson for years, and we have found to to be absolutely wonderful, caring, and concerned. He has always spent as much time as we need with us. We love the fact that he is affiliated with a private facility for colonoscopy and endoscopy, rather than having to go to a dirty, germ-filled hospital, where you can pick up any kind of bacteria or disease. We would never choose anyone else! Thanks for everything, Dr. Gulinson!"
"Just had my colonoscopy this morning went in with the most fear did a semi conscious procedure and didnt feel anything the staff top notch all the way from the dr.to nurses to the anesthesiologist careing that you were comfortable all the way through your procedure anyone thinking about it please give them a try they do care about the patient. Thank you dr.drewitz you and all your staff that was part of my procedure your all the best"
"Extremely Efficient and Precise Professional. Dr. Trevedi went above and beyond to ensure my Fiancee Robert T. Jones had his Colonoscopy performed immediately. Thank you to you and your entire staff for helping to save Robert's life. We are in debt to you. Sincerely, Judy Rocca & Robert T. Jones"
"This is the go to Dr. To get your colonoscopy. Have been a patient of Dr Meline for over twenty years. Great crew. They know what they are doing. I highly recommend."
"Dr. Gelzayd is very professional, very well trained, and he spent a lot of time with me in the office. The instructions for my colonoscopy, and my upper endoscopy, were very clear and easy to follow and to do. The surgery center was great. I couldn't have asked for a more smooth and easy procedure."
"I had a colonoscopy performed by another Dr. at another Hospital on Friday,midday.Sat afternoon I was at the grocery store and had the feeling that I was going to have a "depends" moment ! Made it home and blew into the toilet ,what looked like a can of beets.After several more "deposits" an ambulance transported me to Banner Baywood. Long story ,short .At 3 am Sunday morning ,Dr. Stein assembled a team ,built an emergency Operating Room in the ER and then fixed what had gone horrible wrong with my original procedure.Were it not for the skill and dedication of Dr. Stein and his team,I would not be writing this review .He has my eternal gratitude and my highest recommendation."
"Great doctor both the endoscopy and colonoscopy went well. Take care of yourself the prep isn't fun but better than cancer. Dr. Foley is thorough and has great bedside manner. The surgery center staff was great as well. I have had other procedures with another Dr. Not worth mentioning and now that I have found Dr. Foley he will be our family gastroenterologist."
"I have had a very complicated case and was referred to easy valley gastro by my primary care. I worked with Dr. Levy. It was hard to get appointments, but keep in mind they stay busy, not really their fault, and when I couldnāt meet with him it was always available to me to see the NP. I had some appointment scheduling issues, but I felt the staff was very nice and even though I had mixed up my appointment time, they still fit me in. I had my colonoscopy through them which Dr. Levy made very easy to have done. I have a more complicated case though that has so far not been very fruitful in diagnosing, but I would say they did their best to help me to the best of their ability which I really appreciate. I still recommend Dr. Levy as heās a great doctor and very willing to help."
"Wow! Dr. Umar was great! I was so scared about having a colonoscopy until I confered with him...he set my mind at ease and answered all my questions, even about the endoscopy to check on my constant heartburn! Then it was all over so quickly (well, I did sleep thru the whole procedure, thank you, God!), and I went home feeling so comfortable about the whole thing that I am now bugging my husband to have a colonoscopy, too! The staff was also so reassuring. 5 stars to this facility and to Dr. Umar, my new hero!"
"If you're thinking about it.., please just do it. I was so worried about having a colonoscopy. I wish I had done it sooner. There's a reason why Dr Faybush has 5 stars. Don't put it off another day. Give yourself some peace of mind."
"Excellent experience! From the moment I arrived through the moment I left. Dr Randolph and staff were great! It was my first time colonoscopy and I was treated with respect and it was a breeze. Thank you!"
"Greatest gastro Doctor.......super professional and nice. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else. Love him..two colonoscopy visits. Highly recommend."
