"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!"

"I had not been acquainted with Dr. Triptych prior to my appointment on 2/9. He is a great communicator and explained that procedure in full to me. After the procedure he sat down with my husband and I to discuss the preliminary findings. Dr. Triptych is knowledgeable, confident, considerate and easy to talk with. I certainly have no problem being a patient under his care. Highly recommend!!"
"Dr. Hagan was very informative about any questions that I had, very easy to talk to. Would like to see him again. Thank You! Dr. Hagan Jeffrey Thompson"
"Friendly, relaxed atmosphere at the office. Come a little early for paperwork - there are a few things to review prior to the procedure even if you’re pre-registered. Nurses were great - made sure I was comfortable and at ease. Also met with anesthesia pre-procedure who was also very nice and professional. Dr “Sam” was great and answered all questions and was very thorough. Never felt rushed or unsure of staff!! Great experience for a colonoscopy!! Lol. The prep wasn’t too bad and I don’t remember anything until after it was all over!!"
"I found Dr. Jones to be impressively “current” with regard to potential causes of my presenting issue. (Often, physicians who have been in practice for a number of years are not as “up to date” and informed as they might be)."

I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone that is looking for a GI doctor."
"Th Endoscopy Center felt just like being at a hospital but in much smaller scale. It was not stressful at all. There was someone there to walk me through my procedure every step of the way from the moment I was greeted at the front desk, until my final consultation with Dr. Shireman, I felt well informed and confident that I had been well cared for throughout the process. If you don’t have to go to a big hospital for a colonoscopy, I strongly recommend the Endoscopy Center."

"Doctor Eisenach is one of the most caring doctors I have ever encountered. I lost my most favorite gastroenterologist to a move. Then I found another one I liked. Then he moved. Then I just happened to randomly be made an appointment with Dr. Eisenach for larynx spasms. He is very humble and unassuming and doesn't rush you out the door. He treats you like a human being, not a number. I sure am glad I found him."
"I had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Able. I was diagnosed with celiac disease years ago and never had follow up care and had several doctors who knew nothing about it. I felt so seen and heard at her office. She spent intentional time asking questions and getting to know me. I’ve already referred several people to the office who have struggled with finding a doctor who listens. There was a clear action plan and genuine care for all the steps forward and I will absolutely be going back."
