Even though the prep for the procedure wasn't fun the actual procedure was fine. The Dr was very pleasant and made me feel very comfortable, as did everyone involved
Dr. Utarnachitt was patient and understanding addressing my concerns about my GI issues. Never felt rushed and explained my issues that gave us a better understanding. Thank you.
I can't thank Dr. Jones enough and his office staff for fitting me in the day I went for appointment, I apparently showed up at wrong office but they got me in and got the ball rolling for tests that Dr. Michael Gibson wanted set up and done.
Kudos to the staff, much appreciated!

I have used this facility endoscopy center on Whitney road in Independence Missouri since the late 80s always have been seen reasonable amount of time taken care of by all who attended when I had procedures.
Good helpful visit! Seemed to know what they are doing. Knew or history from some time back too! Good to see!

All the staff are professional and personable. Highly recommend!
Saw Nurse Jana S for the second time as by previous doctor for years had retired. Jana was professional, attentive to my concerns & ordered testing which proved to be very very important in my continuity of my care. In following up test results were discussed with my options & decisions moving forward. Following up with appointment in 3 months. Excellent visit!
Excellent doc, very nice team! Everyone was excellent, fast, and explained everything to me. The whole process went well and smooth.
