"The experience was good. Just had a couple of issues. Wasn’t asked when another appointment was made, what would be acceptable for me since I work. Was not told about a prescription for me, my pharmacy was the first to notify me, after my ride to the procedure left, so I was stuck for the evening."

"Great doctor, gets you the facts and knows what he is doing. His team was fabulous as well. Going in I felt nervous then meeting him I knew I was in good hands"
"I'm not going to lie I was very nervous about having this done. I was even more nervous about the anesthesia. Because I usually have an issue with it and I don't wake up easy. Low heart rate and blood pressures very prevalent with the females in my family. But that anesthesiologist did an amazing job. Everyone in the staff did a very good job I was very pleased with my visit. Thank you to everyone that was involved."

"The procedure was painless and thorough to the point that Dr. Samuel explained the procedure in details. I received a follow up call the following day to see if I was doing ok. The staff and anesthesiologist was great. The prep the day before was the worst in preparing for a colonoscopy at any locations. I recommend Dr. Samuel for your colonoscopy."
"I was treated courteously and respectfully. The NP listened and made knowledgeable suggestions for how to proceed. I feel like we're on the right track!"
"She was professional, but very easy to talk to. She explained everything so I could understand my issue and what needs to be done to help. Very personable! Would recommend to everyone."
"Dr. Jones is great. He has been my gastroenterologist for years. I have always had a good experience at the Endoscopy Center in Liberty. After my EGD last Friday however I felt like I was being rushed out the door. Usually my family member comes back while I wake up and they are given the report with me and we are taken through an exit area. This time I was still wobbly enough that the nurse had to help me stand up to get dressed and I was walked to the waiting room and handed off to my sister. Fortunately there was a written report for me to read although there was not a lot of information about the medication or how long I would be on it."
"I have been a patient at Consultants in Gastoenterology for many years but this was the first time I had seen Dr. Clement. He was kind, had reviewed my chart so he knew my history and was very thorough explaining what he found during my EGD and the course of treatment. I would recommend him highly."

"Dr. Shireman, Andy, Karen, Elisha, Leslie, Maria were taking care of me during my procedure. I felt I received the best, professional and compassionate care."
"Everything about my experience with Dr. Horwitz and the other staff was flawless. I particularly appreciated being able to provide pre-appointment registration using their secure website (I hate filling out lengthy forms at the doctor's office), Leading up to the appointment, the prep material was received promptly and with clear instructions. I received email and text reminders leading up to the appointment. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Horwitz and his staff were very personable, professional and communicated well."
"I’ve been going to Dr Khalid for years. I’ve never appreciated what a great doc he was till this year. He was doing a routine EGD on me when he found a growth in my upper stomach called a GIST. These growths aren’t usually found till they are so big they cause huge problems and can lead to death. God used his knowledge and skill to find and identify the growth. He and his staff quickly got me scheduled for a sonogram and then surgery. So thankful for great docs like Dr Khalid!"

"The nurses and Doctor were extremely friendly and professional. Made you relaxed and comfortable. Although it is not a pleasant procedure. I felt no discomfort from the procedure which was a wonderful thing."
"I didn't feel the NP was interested in my issues. I have been ill for several months. And I was hoping to get some answers. She kept stretching and twisting in her chair when she was talking to me. Like she was trying to get her back to pop or something. I was there on a Friday on Monday I tried to call for questions I had and could never get to a nurse to speak with. Very discouraged. Kept getting the schedule line."
"I was treated with excellent service. I felt at ease . A little nervous though when I woke up I asked if the surgery had been done. They said yes. Hats out to the whole team who help me on the surgery. Thank you so much.."

"Receptionist immediately checked me in upon arrival at office. I did not need to wait since medical assistant promptly asked me to accompany her to check weight & vital signs. Then, I followed her to exam room to update my online chart. A medical student asked a few questions regarding my health issues and Dr. Able entered room. She answered my questions & shared her plan to which I agreed with. Dr. Able also sketched an illustration & described the exact physiology of my intestinal issue. I am so pleasantly impressed with Dr. Able & her staff. It is heartwarming to have a trusted specialist who truly cares. She found a solution for a severe problem that I suffered many months with before changing to her practice."
"Dr Chen and his staff are so nice and helpful. They explained everything to me and made my procedure quick add un-intimidating. The follow up call the day after my procedure was such a nice and personal touch too!"

"We have been pleased with the progress we’ve made while working with this doctor. He listens to us and we’re getting good results following his advice and prescriptions"

"Dr. Shireman and staff were all outstanding!!! From the moment you walked in to when we left! Very thorough! The facility was extremely clean and very patient oriented. You have your own dressing room to change and leave your things. Complete with toilet and sink! All things that are important when having medical procedures. I was dreading my visit but now, I won’t in the future. Again, very impressed with Dr. Shireman. He makes you feel like he truly cares….😁😁❤️"
"First time visit check in went smoothly. Did pre paperwork on line. Dr Hagan listen to my medical history and my current situation felt he cared. Said previous GI doctor didn't care for wasn't interested in my issues. Setting up some test hope he can help me. First impression I like him."
"Hands down the best doctor I’ve been to. He takes the time to listen to your problems and explain his thought processes. I’ve frequently been told my symptoms were anxiety by other doctors who refused to look into my health problems more than a 5 minute conversation, not Dr. Tritsch. He will order tests to see if he can figure out The Why’s. I recently went in for a procedure being handled by someone else and Dr. Tritsch saw me walk in and dropped in to say hi and see how I was! He calls me with test results himself and explains what they mean and what options I have to choose from. I can’t recommend him enough, it’s rare to find a doctor who cares the way he does."
"Dr. Totta and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly and welcoming. Dr. Totta has great bedside manner. He is patient and discusses everything with you. Answers all of your questions and explains things that easy to understand."
"You really need to be or become patient, then you will understand what I mean when I say this, the DRS and NPs are very smart, kind, and knows how to talk to you. I know if you like me, this is what we need these days and times. I have had the pleasure to have seen all of the DRS/NP there, for health care. I was very sick with acid reflux, just one of the things or illnesses that I have. I suffer for years. But when the CENTERPOINT HOSPITAL recommended them to me, it was best to move I could have made. NOW before I started to see them as a patient, I feel a lot better, and I am now on the right dosage of my meds. Now in my honest opinion, this is what I look for in DRS. So they don't pay me to say this, they don't sponsor me in any way, this is me NELL speaking from my heart. And guys they truly care and love their patients. And their staff, nurses, etc are kind, respectful, and know how to communicate with their patients. So if you need these types of DRS, then let them be your DRS. ( GI DRS.) ..NELL M."
"I saw Dr. Khalid for an EGD and colonoscopy. He was very knowledgeable, to the point, and took time to answer my questions before and after the procedures. I was impressed with his bedside manner and the ease of the procedure. I did not experience any pain and had zero complications afterwards. Thank you Dr. Khalid. Your team was great as well! So kind!"
"Dr. Chen and staff were professional, kind and caring. Each step of the process was explained and done according to what I expected. I would recommend Dr. Chen and the Endoscopy Center for this procedure."
"Very nice i went in full of anxiety he took the time to answer my questions explained everything.really helped my get rid of my anxiety.And came up with a plan so as to make the Procedure easier on me ."
