"I had colonoscopy exam done by Dr. Padda and would recommend him to everyone who needs this type of care. From start to finish everything was done very professionally. The staff was also very polite."
"I know a colonoscopy may cause fear and a little anxiety as it did for me, but Dr. Deepti Dhaveleshwar will put those emotions to rest. She is very attentive to your health care needs to ensure a positive outcome. Dr. Deepti will give you the time needed, and her supporting office staff will promptly address your concerns. From my personal experience and outcomes early detection will save your life. Please put your anxiety and fears aside and schedule your colonoscopy with Dr. Dhaveleshwar. I will continue to see Dr. Deepti and recommend her to you without reservation."
"The nurses explained everything that was going to be done and made sure I was comfortable. His staff is amazing. Dr. Padda explained the results of colonoscopy before I went home and made sure I understood and answered all my questions clearly. Definitely will use Dr. Padda again."
"Dr. Chittajallu and his staff are the best by far. They are very respectful of your time and concerns. I highly recommend that a person get this test as recommended. I further recommend that you use Dr. Chittajallu for a thorough examination and peace of mind.
It would be a true shame for a person to succumb to colon cancer when it can be detected and treated in the earliest stages."
"Dr. Cooley has performed my four colonoscopy in the last 20 years. He and his staff are professional and efficient. He and/or his staff answer my questions thoroughly to my satisfaction. I feel like I am in good hands going to him."
"I had a very good ,professional procedure and experience at Digestive center in Plano.
All staff was amazing friendly and all told me " I love my job"! Dr. Brown has it down to a science how to treat his patients. He is professional thorough and remembers who you are. It was nice to be offered natural wellness products to purchase too. The facility was beautiful and everything was on time. If you need an endoscopy/ colonoscopy this is your place! Thank you Dr Kenneth Brown!"
"My initial interaction with the front desk was not that great, but it turns out, the technician is new and focused on learning the system and processes. I thought it would be tell of the overall care, but I was completely wrong.
Another technician took over for the new lady and she was very friendly. Even the tech who took me to the back and took my vitals was warm and kind.
Then came Dr. Shah. She was patient, warm, and answered all of my questions. I didn't feel like I was on an assembly line. Dr Shah said she's going to take great care of me, and I believe her!
*UPDATE*
My colonoscopy was quick (30 minutes) and smooth. Dr. Shah talked with me directly afterward. Staff provided great details on all aftercare needed.
I even had a follow-up visit which was just as easy. I cannot recommend this facility and Dr. Shah and staff enough!"
"Without a doubt the best Gastroenterologists out there.
I have been a patient since 1997 (25 years).
One of the things I love about Dr. Do is that he is like a "detective". He WILL figure out what is wrong with you when others can't/won't.
Also, he is probably the best at EGD & Colonoscopy procedures in North Texas."
"Both the doctor and his staff are the kindest people you will have the pleasure to work with. The procedure was completed with the utmost efficiency and care. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who needs a colonoscopy."
"When I was at the hospital waiting on my ERCP procedure I was terrified... Till Dr. Shah came in sat by me and talked about all the things he was doing I was sooo relieved. He was so nice and a down to 🌎
Earth guy... I couldn't have picked the some perfect DR.... Highly recommend. Thank You Dr. Shah and your staff."
"I have been Dr. Abraham‘s patient ever since my brother was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2006. She is very caring, thorough and smart. I highly recommend her."
"Dr. Mantas and staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. They explained the colonoscopy process, answered any questions, and took good care of me throughout."
"Dr Patel has been an outstanding care doctor. He explains thoroughly the colonoscopy procedures and follow ups. So glad to have him as my doctor"
"After 3 week in hospital he was able to do endscopy and colonoscopy did biopsy and took palap no cancer detected but thats not all they have gone above and beyhond to help me get my expensive medications reduced or free from manufacture helped me get Labs and sent me to the necessary hospital when could not resolve issues in his office Cassie his nurse has been wonderful and very quick to respond back with Labs and medications and they are convent to my home at this location and my pharmacy Thank You so much for all your help in office and virtual.
The Kennedys
always a positive responce from all the staff 👍"
"My mother had a colonoscopy done by Dr Zafar. She is the most considerate and compassionate physician that we have ever come across. She was extremely thorough and took her time to explain minute details in layman terms to us. Her professionalism was exceptional and her bedside manners are excellent. Would give her 10 stars if possible!! We highly recommend her!!"
"I have been using DHAT since 2007. This was the first time I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Brown. It was then that cancer was discovered in my right ascending colon. Dr. Brown promptly told me how we were going to address this issue. As a result of his and a number of other doctors, i am still here and very grateful for their care during this time.
I have since had a repeat colonoscopies ever 2 or 3 years. DHAT, Dr. Brown, and his staff have continued to provide excellent care. I recommend them whole heartedly."
"Dr. Gayle has the most compassionate bedside manner. I completed my annual colonoscopy with Dr.Gayle one week ago today. I was anxious and experiencing shortness of breath. She politely told the anesthesiologist,
"She has anxieties." I calmed down, because I KNEW Dr. Gayle had the situation under control. LIGHTS OUT!
Shortly thereafter, I awoke in recovery. I appreciate your professionalism!
Thank you Dr. Gayle!"
"The service that I received from Dr. Akerman is excellent. Dr. Akerman and the staff are friendly and ensure that I am properly informed about my health and all preparation prior to my colonoscopy procedure. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Akerman and would highly recommend to anyone!"
"I'm a new patient of Dr. Bass. I had my first Colonoscopy and Upper Gi-Endoscopy procedure I'm glad to say all went well. Dr. Bass is a wonderful Doctor he greeted me with his awesome smile in his office and at the hospital. His office staff team are excellent, caring. His hospital team were professional with caring smiles. I would highly recommend Dr. Bass.
Bridget Ong"
"He was our life saver. It was few days to new year the issue was so complicated but he arranged everything in just a minute lab,CT scan ,colonoscopy. He was so patient listening and kindly addressed what we have to do . I am so blessed to find you Dr,Thomas world need more Dr's like you 🙏 ❤"
"Dr Deepti wanted to do a colonoscopy and found precancerous cells that she removed. I’m only 38, If I would have waited until 45 who knows, I may have had colon cancer. I thank God for her!!"
"I’ve only had the pre-screening appointment for a colonoscopy, but the doctor seemed very thorough in taking precautions for pre-existing conditions"
"I've only been to her once, but I was impressed with you and hope my colonoscopy goes well."
"Dr. An is by far the most caring doctor I have ever met. My son had to have an EGD and colonoscopy. He has never been under anastesia before. Dr. An sat with us, talked to my son, put all his cares to ease and answered my endless questions. I can not recommend Dr. An highly enough. Also his staff is all very kind. Our wait period was very short, and has already made plans to follow up with us for the results of his scopes."
"I am editing this review. I change my stars to five and need to say that my procedure was awesome… Absolutely no problems done quickly much faster than any previous. Additionally Dr. Kethu Made every effort to make sure I was pleased.
….so far I am not impressed. I’ve had a teleconference with this doctor… I had to call the office to get my colonoscopy scheduled and now I’ve been a week and a half waiting to be emailed instructions and even where to go for the procedure. Makes you concerned if his staff is not taking Care of business do I really want him performing a procedure.
I was contacted today after posting this review with a sincere apology and I was emailed the necessary information. Hopefully they will increase their staff so they don’t have to be behind."
"First colonoscopy and it’s a big event. Due to the nature of preparation, I canceled several appointments. The care is good throughout the process. Once completed they explain the highlights and share that to your primary care physician. The team was professional individually and collectively"
"I found Dr. Sarita Gayle looking for a gastroenterologist that was close to home and on my insurance plan. I came across her name and researched and felt very good about making an appointment with her. I had my initial appointment with her on a Friday, and by Tuesday she had me scheduled for a colonoscopy. She and her office staff were absolutely wonderful and caring. When I went for my procedure, the crew was very concerned about my oxygen issues and took careful precautions accordingly. Dr. Gayle is very professional, plus very warm and friendly…As were all the nurses, anesthesiologist, and staff. She is one of the best doctors I have ever seen in my 60+ years and would highly recommend her to anyone."
"Dr. Badr has one of the best bed-side manners I have have experienced. I was scared of getting the colonoscopy and stomach scope , but he made me feel so at ease. He followed up with me shortly after in recovery to go over his findings. I highly recommend him for anyone who needs to have any type of digestive things done or even if just for advice."
"I was afraid of a colonoscopy, so put it off far too long. This doctor is super thorough and detail-oriented. Her staff was super attentive, accommodating, even soothing. And they LOVE Dr. Abraham. I was very comfortable and they put me to sleep, which was a relief - I never felt a thing. They found polyps and removed them, thank goodness, as they can turn into cancer. I highly recommend this gastroenterologist as well as her support staff."
"I have known Dr Miller for over thirty years . He is my chosen one when it comes to my colonoscopy .. lol
Always willing to answer all my questions . He is a very kind , caring, professional Doctor . I have referred many friends and family to him .."
"Dr Yapuri sits and listens. I was recommended though my husband is his patient. With my symptoms Dr Yapuri explained the why an endoscopy would see any issues. While I’m “under”, and “due” for a colonoscopy he suggested we have it done too. Dr Yapuri explained, and his credentials prove out, he is a “stem to stern” specialist. I have had three ColoGuard come back negative. DrYapuri said that they are seeing “negative-positives”, as well as “positive-negatives” on the ColoGuard results. Better to check and catch anything now in the lower colon. I am not the first, and won’t be the last to say, I do not like the idea (procedure) of a colonoscopy. But I’ll do it to save my life from cancer. Thank you, Dr Yapuri fir having a personable bedside manner."
"I came to see Dr. Hasan for some gastrointestinal issues I was having. He did an endoscopy and colonoscopy. He provided me a detailed report of what was going on with me. At the time I also started seeing a Naturopath and he was very helpful in educating my naturopath in what he found and he was very respectful and honest. I am very happy I found him and will continue to see him in my future gastrointestinal check ups."
"As it is with most guys, I was nervous about getting my first colonoscopy. Especially since I was getting an Endoscopy at the same time. This is why many men choose not to go. Well, put your mind at ease. The care given by Dr. Chandra's team was top notch.
From the moment I walked in the door to the moment I left (about an hour later), the staff was respectful and courteous. I tried to keep things light-hearted because of my nervousness and they went along with it. I have no doubt that they do all that they can in order to set a tone of calm and relaxation.
I did not feel any part of the procedure. None.
The information provided after the procedures included multiple copies of the paperwork. This included follow-up instructions, printed photographs, contact numbers for the clinic, medications that were prescribed and self-care steps at home.
I had two polyps removed and there was no bleeding afterward, nor was there any pain. In fact, the first thing I wanted to do was eat!
The follow-up was completed via FaceTime. I do not know if this is the normal practice or if it was due to living in the time of Covid-19. All of my questions were answered and, if I had more, they were just a phone call away.
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the staff here. Men – do yourself a favor and get yourself checked out. This is especially needed for 45+. DO NOT WAIT!!! Ladies, have your husband (or significant other) read this and, hopefully, it will help put them at ease.
Again: There was no pain nor discomfort, the staff was knowledgeable and pleasant, and I cannot say enough for the care shown to me. Thank you."
"Dr. Murali and his staff are absolutely the best doctor/nurse/anesthesiologist and support staff to work with and receive gastrointestinal care from. I highly recommend him if you’re suffering any of these types of symptoms or just want to have yourself checked for an annual exam. You will be treated kindly, and receive the best-in-industry services. I had a colonoscopy and was back to work (from my home office) after being discharged and getting lunch after having “prepped” for the procedure the day before. I also had issue with taking my second dose of the prep drink (I vomited it all up an hour after drinking it) and called the doctor’s office to explain to him what happened on my end (not being able to complete the prep per his instructions) and he was paged and called me back himself and ultimately decided in my instance, I was still able to have the procedure done. This time, I was notified after my pathology reports came in that I had one pre-cancerous polyp and NO CANCER, but that these types of polyps can become cancer if left unchecked. I hope if you’re reading this , that you’re encouraged to get checked, and do contact Dr. Murali (via his staff) to schedule yourself a check-up today!"
"I am pleased with the care and professionalism I received from Dr. Macurakn and his staff. I was also impressed with the professionals that of those who prepped me for my first colonoscopy. I will continue to use him in the future as needed."
"I visited Dr. Carollo's office for the first time on 7/15/2021. I have never had to see a Gastro doctor so I was quite nervous. Immediately, upon being led back to the exam room, I felt at ease. The PA was so sweet and assured me I would love Dr. Carollo and she was correct. Dr. Carollo put my mind at ease about upcoming procedures and took time to listen to my symptoms and concerns. I left feeling relieved and very much convinced she is the best person to trust my digestive health. Still not looking forward to a colonoscopy but I know I will be in the best hands.
There is something so special about Baylor Doctors, they all have the standard of care that is a rare find these days. I recently moved from Dallas to Oklahoma but I will not trust my health to any other Doctors, it's worth the 98 mile drive to see the best!"
"Julia was very concerned and caring, spending time with me to make sure she understood my issue and that I understood my options. My only negative is that Digestive Health Associates uses a pharmacy which ships colonoscopy supplies to your home, but the pharmacy cannot tell you when to expect the shipment until the day of the shipment and cannot tell you the time of the shipment, so if you are single like I am you must stay home all day and cancel any previous plans you have for that day."
"Dr. Sanjay Nayyar MD of DHAT (Digestive Health Associates of Texas) performed a screening colonoscopy on me 6/30/2021. As this was my first experience with the procedure, I had concerns and questions prior to the appointment. Diana, the Medical Assistant was very helpful in providing material and responding to my questions regarding the preparation for the colonoscopy; I was treated with kindness, respect, and patience in my interactions, and never made to feel ‘dumb’ or bothersome about my concerns. I was pleased with the efficient professionalism of Diana.
On the morning of my procedure, I found the waiting area to be clean and comfortable. I was greeted professionally by the receptionist, who was efficient and friendly in handling the necessary paperwork. The nurses who came to the waiting room to call patients back for their procedures were professional, and their demeaner was calming in their interactions with patients and others in the waiting room.
When I was called in for my procedure, I was again met with most efficient, professional staff and clean surroundings. Dr. Nayyar took time to answer my questions, explaining the procedure in more detail. When I was sufficiently awake from the anesthesia, I was escorted by the nurse to a covered parking area where my friend had been instructed to park and wait for me.
Overall, my experience – initially somewhat dreaded – was handled professionally and efficiently. I highly recommend Dr. Nayyar and his office to anyone searching for a gastroenterology practice. I would rate my visit as incredible, unexpected incredible – 10.

"I recently did EGD and Colonoscopy with Dr Kethu and I was very pleased with how the procedures were executed. Infact I have been seeing Dr Kethu for sometime and I am happy and pleased having him as my doctor"
"The doctor has great active listening skills and heard my concerns. I have had a colonoscopy with Dr. Annoji before many years ago and it was the same thing. He was helpful in letting know what needed to be done. I will be having a colonoscopy and endoscopy this month. I know that colon cancer runs on my fathers side of the family and how important it is to be checked out. I know doctors visits aren’t always fun but they are necessary. Our insides determine how we feel and what we eat effects them. I am gluten free and eat minimal dairy. This helps to avoid excessive fatigue and other issues that arise from the intolerance. I will recommend Dr Annoji to anyone with colon issues or just allergy issues. Allergies to foods have something to do with the colon ultimately."
"My coworker recommended Dr. Brown so I met Megan then Dr. Brown for colonoscopy in Fall, 2019. Their friendliness and professional knowledge & spirit impressed me a lot. This year I got pretty sick and lost weight sharply. It was difficult to get an appointment, but I decided to wait to get the procedures done with Dr. Brown again based on the past experience. Meeting Megan then scheduled the procedures with Dr. Brown which went very smoothly. Got Biopsied and hope no big issue with my body :-). I would recommend Dr. Brown to my coworkers and friends for colonoscopy and EGD!"
"Dr. Murali Alloju was very good. His staff was excellent as well. This was my first colonoscopy and he unfortunately found a large cancerous mass. Not only was he very supportive during the consult after the exam which was difficult news to communicated. Dr. Alloju very quickly made phone calls on my behalf the same day to a surgeon who could immediately address my issue. He also followed up immediately with my primary care doctor and schedule additional tests. He is friendly and open with what is going on and what it means. I am super glad I am in such good care with Dr. Alloju and would recommend him strongly."
"I approached Dr. Bilal Khan’s office after my annual health check revealed I was anemic. I found him and his staff to be very competent, prompt, and responsive to my needs. Initial consultation was informative, scheduling the endoscopy and colonoscopy procedure was done quickly, and Dr. Khan gave his assessment very candidly after the procedure. I did not find any discomfort in my GI track post-procedure, even though he had collected multiple biopsies during the procedure. The pathology report confirmed Dr. Khan’s assessment and I was promptly referred to a competent surgeon who was equally responsive and within my insurance network. I am pleased with and grateful to Dr. Khan and his staff."
"Dr. Abraham has been my gastro doctor for many years. He is extremely knowledgeable. He is kind, compassionate and caring. He is the one who found my colon cancer, found the surgeon and set the surgery for that day! He takes time to listen to any concerns I might have. Kristina in his office is awesome. I would recommend Dr. Abraham for sure!"
"I am 72 years old and I’ve been with Dr.Konda since I was 43 with my first colonoscopy. I checked with the nurses at the hospital where I was volunteering there to see who they would recommend to go to, all of them recommended Dr. Konda because of the work that he performed at the hospital. So I tried him and he was as good as the nurses told me. In my 40s and 50s I seen him a lot and he did all types of procedures on me and he was so good with each one of my procedures. I would till all my friends about how great he is doing his job of being a colonoscopy doctor. I just dread the time that he decides to retire. And I know why all the nurses recommended him he is so good.great at 1trust him so much has Dr and all the procedures that he does.
Dr Donald L Morris, DD. DM, BBA."
"I had the worst pain of my life on May 1st and rushed to the Baylor ER not knowing what was wrong . I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Being the weekend it was difficult to get a skilled physician to perform an ERCP on a Sunday . Dr. Kale very graciously came up to the hospital and skillfully performed this procedure immediately relieving me of all pain . Last week she performed another ERCP to remove the biliary stent she had placed in my duct and I have had no complications and never felt better . Thank you Dr. Kale for your skill and compassion !"
"Everything went really well, I felt like Dr. Ackerman knew the best treatment and did a great job. His staff was very responsive. Only suggestion I have is I was completely unprepared for how I would feel or what to expect during recovery. The instructions I received were exactly the same as the procedure to examine my pancreas via ERCP, but stone removal has been completely different."
"I just turned 50 and I had my first colonoscopy on Friday and I was a bit nervous to say the least. Dr. Brown and the entire team were great, kept the mood friendly and respectful (as I was being wheeled back they were smiling and friendly), and I came away so thankful that I had the procedure done. I was in and out within 2 hours. The preparation instructions were very thorough and Dr. Brown explained the results clearly to me following the procedure. The preparation is obviously not the most fun but I will absolutely recommend that anyone 45 or older get their colonoscopy done!"
"I am so glad that I chose Dr. Sindhu Abraham to perform my colonoscopy. Dr. Abraham is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Her and her support staff were very friendly and comforting."
"I called Dr. K’s office for unexplainable abdominal pain. I received an appointment for the day after I called. Dr. K really listened to my concern gave a diagnosis of what he thought. He set me up for a colonoscopy that took place May 12, 2021. The staff of DHAT was professional and caring about my needs. Thanks so much to Dr. K and the DHAT staff"
"Was referred to Dr Masand for a colonoscopy. I read previous posts and a few negative reviews about the office staff, but decided to prepare myself. NEVER NEVER rely on those reviews.
My appointment was at 8:30a, and was told to get there 30 minutes earlier. Got there at 8a with forms printed and signed. Was greeted at reception by the friendliest young lady. Escorted to the room by the nurse...see was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and professional. After taking vitals and info, she told me the doctor would be right in. I'm thinking sure...15-20 minute wait. Two minutes later, Dr Masand walked in. I have been blessed to have the best doctors. Dr Masand asked all the pertinent questions regarding my history and explained the procedure. Professional, knowledgeable, excellent people skills and he made me feel at ease. His nurse came back in and escorted us to checkout. Another friendly face. I was in and out in 37 minutes.
I highly recommend Dr Masand and his wonderful staff."
"My mother has been going to Dr. Weisberg for approx. 30 years. She referred me to him and I had my first colonoscopy done a few weeks ago. Dr. Weisberg and his staff run a very tight knit operation. His office and his staff provided timely communication and were very professional in every aspect! I appreciate that they explained exactly what and when a step in the pre and post op procedures should be completed. Many thanks to you Dr. Weisberg and to your staff for making this scary procedure a smooth one! :)"
"Dr Ravi and his team performed my first colonoscopy this week. Because of some health concerns, he saw me beforehand and opted to do the procedure at the hospital instead of the day surgery center. He and his team were kind and considerate, and they spent adequate time taking my medical history and talking to me. I've had numerous procedures performed before, and I'm comfortable saying that this was as good an experience at it can be. Very professional; excellent communication and care. Highly recommended."
"Dr. Sarles is a wonderful doctor who I always see every 3-5 years for my routine colonoscopy. I Would not go anywhere else. He is the BEST!!!"
"Had a colonoscopy with Dr. Blank yesterday and couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism, smooth check-in process with staff at the surgicenter, counseling provided pre-procedure, and post procedure detailed info. She is a kind, compassionate, thorough doctor and I am grateful for her top notch care! Thanks Dr. Blank and team! I will be sure to refer friends and family!"
"After putting off this long overdue colonoscopy procedure for a while, I finally decided that it was time to do it. I was referred to Dr. Ravi Chittajallu at Methodist Craig Ranch Surgery Center and I'm glad that I did. The worst part of this procedure was taking the prep meds the night before to help clear your bowels. The staff was cordial and professional. After the procedure Dr. Chittajallu came by the recovery room and went over the results with me. The whole process, from when I got there to when the nurse wheel me out to my vehicle (my wife drove), took no more that 2 and a half hrs! Thanks to Dr. Ravi's assistant Ms. Geetha for making everything so easy for me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ravi Chittajallu at Methodist Craig Ranch Surgery Center. Thank you, JRG."
"I was brought to Methodist Hospital for an ERCP procedure that could not be completed by a previous specialist at another hospital! Dr Kedia was so thorough and informative! He spent so much time explaining the ERCP and what previous tests had showed! He and his associates followed up with me before I left the hospital and even a month later to follow up wth me! He is an Excellent GI specialist!!!"
"Dr Abraham is an excellent physician. Her bedside manner is impeccable, she’s very friendly easy to understand, as she breaks down your bodies complex problems into Laymans terms. I have not had a Doctor Who takes this much time to make sure you are properly taking care of yourself. I genuinely believe She Wants to cure all her patients, not just give them medicine, and have millions of appointments.
She is very thorough, and got my medical records from all of my other specialists to make sure she is best serving me as a patient.
I have also had her do surgical procedure on me. A colonoscopy endoscopy. Whenever she prescribed me last time was a much more gentle prep then the time before. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Abraham and her staff."
"What a great experience!! I was referred to Dr Blank per my FNP @ BSW Rockwall location. Didn’t have to see her prior to procedure but was thoroughly impressed meeting her today & obviously she is very knowledgeable & patient outcome & understanding of colonoscopy procedures & expectations are A+. Even the staff & anesthesiologist @ BSW Garland surgical center sang her praises & noted how through she is. Procedure went smoothly & take home instructions were discussed as well as 24/7 on call hrs if there is a need for me to contact them @ any time. Being in the healthcare profession myself it’s great to see this level of dedication & enjoyment with Dr Blanks chosen career ."
"Feedback from my colonoscopy appointment, August 26, 2020.
First, let me thank all of you for being at work during the pandemic and protecting my safety during this time.
The front office personnel were friendly and helpful throughout the paperwork phase of my appointment.
The nursing staff were pleasant, competent and willing to joke with me while I was slightly apprehensive of this entire procedure. They managed to start an iv in my unwilling hand vein, hook me up to an assortment of gadgets and tell me everything that was going on. Kudos all around.
And finally, Dr. Patel was very nice, forthcoming with information on my results and a thoroughly nice man. Apparently, he was also quite competent as I now have pics of my innards and no lasting unpleasant memories of the event.
Thank you again for your welcoming and professional attitude during my visit. I have worked in a physician’s office and know that maintaining both of those behaviors can be a challenge. Stay safe.

"I haven't used Dr Ravi for anything except for Colonoscopies, but all 3 have gone well. He discovered stage 3 canceruos polyps on the first procedure and was able to remove most of them. A 2nd procedure was required a week later to get the rest of them. I did require surgery to remove a portion my colon, but that was my fault for waiting too long to have my first procedure. I just had my 1-year follow-up colonoscopy and everything came out fine. Dr. Ravi has surgical access too many different hospitals so it makes it easier to schedule a procedure when needed."
"Dr Murray and his staff were all great. My colonoscopy was over before I knew it. Everyone was so helpful, I wish I could remember their names so I could thank each one. From the receptionist to my time to go home , each one was caring and understanding."
"Dr Dhavaleshwar is an excellent doctor!. She spent enough time listening to my symptoms and promptly scheduled me for my endoscopy and colonoscopy. Cannot tell how much better I feel after she started me on my treatment plan. The front staff was personable and her medical assistant -Anai was very helpful and responsive in answering all my questions and phone calls."
"All good however, the last few times I have only seen the PA and she's great.
My only complaint was the colonoscopy experience. The staff at place where I had procedure done took 5 times to try and start IV for anesthesia. That was annoying and kind of made my blood pressure go up."
"I first visited Dr. Patel in his office during some nasty gastrointestinal drama in 2018. My primary physician Had referred me to Dr. Patel saying he was a fine doctor. The consultation went very well and I recovered from my ailment. Dr. Patel was a good listener, easy-going and very encouraging. We parted that day knowing that I was approaching 50 years old and along with a birthday cake- I would need a colonoscopy. That’s what brought us back together in May 2020.
The scheduling and preparation went fine. The communication with his staff was good. The hospital Dr Patel utilized (Baylor Scott & White Rowlett) was professional and friendly. And the procedure was rather uneventful. We chatted before the procedure. The good doctor made sure I was at ease. Then I was conked out for an hour and he went to work. When I came around, Dr Patel arrived to follow-up and update me on the process.
Dr Patel is a family man and a fine physician. He’s friendly and a straight-shooter. If you need a gastro-rock Star- give him a holler. (And if you’re 50 and haven’t scheduled your colonoscopy- then hop to it. It’s no big deal, people. And it could save your life) 😃"
"My husband had colonoscopy by Dr Sarles. We recently moved Texas. Dr. Sarles is wonderful physician, caring professional. Explains everything without rushing. Great personality."
"I had my first visit with Dr Thomas Lyles and he has wonderful communication skills. I felt the staff was all very friendly. My appointment was on time and easy check out. Have colonoscopy scheduled and hoping all goes well."
"I chose Dr. Brown because of the ratings so I'm putting in my rating and have already recommended him. I received excellent care from him and his nurses. I was expecting to be sore after having a colonoscopy this past Friday especially since he told me he removed 2 polyps (pre-cancerous fortunately!!) but absolutely no soreness. As a matter, I don't feel any different. I was not having any symptoms but I was motivated to go this done since I am 51 and I had a friend die from colon cancer last month and an aunt that survived colon cancer just a couple of years ago. Anyway, I'm glad I did and am really strongly encouraging my friends and family to have a colonoscopy. So, I will be sending a few more people your way!!!"
"Dr. Ho listened to my issue which has been on going since Dec. & set me up for a colonoscopy."
"This was my husbands & my first Colonoscopy so we really didn't know what to expect. Dr. Murray and the nurses were fantastic! The went over everything first so we were pretty comfortable with the whole procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Murray and his staff!"
"I met with Dr. Rangasamy for a consult. She took her time to explain the procedures I needed. She was very professional and thorough. She did not seem rushed. I really appreciate her patience and am very comfortable with her performing these procedures. UPDATE: I had a colonoscopy and EGD yesterday. The staff was great, from check in to release. Everything was clearly explained before and after the procedures. I really like the reports I brought home. The Dr's instructions are clear, impressions are clear and the photos are numbered with a diagram of the colon and upper GI tract. This makes it easy to do more research at home in order to better understand what's going on."
"Had to have my first colonoscopy when I turned 40 and was super nervous, but Dr. Shah eased my nerves and made the whole process super easy. She is super knowledgeable and I felt confident having her by my side. I’m so glad she’s my doc and would highly recommend her!"
"Dr. Gayle and her staff is one of the most experienced facilities that I have been to in a long time she I saw her one week the next week I had a colonoscopy and also an upper GI when I went back for the follow-up visit excellent she put me on medication bed I had been going through this situation for at least over 10 years and finally found medicine that it's working for me and I asked you that gave her a hug and thanked her very much because it would just amazing that how she changed my life and I thank her as well as her staff God bless each and every one of them"
"I am delighted with the care I received from Dr. Abraham and her staff. I found Dr. Abraham to be very thorough, professional and competent while also relating in a warm, personable and likable manner. She explained procedures and what to expect, and encouraged questions and discussion. I went in for a screening colonoscopy - which was scheduled quickly and went very well. I am pleased to have her available as a medical resource."
"To say that I appreciate Dr. Yepuri and his staff is a major understatement. During my recent colonoscopy, Dr. Yepuri found an alarming NINE polyps, some of which contained pre-cancerous cells. By removing them, Dr. Yepuri may very well have saved my life. So yes, "appreciate" is insufficient. Eternal gratitude is more like it. How great it must be to do such important, fulfilling work. THANK YOU, Dr. Yepuri and your staff. You are all life-savers."
"My mom had colon cancer at 49 we went to a luncheon at Baylor where Dr. Nayyar spoke. I learned a lot from the luncheon and I actually told a friend to go see him and they rushed her colonoscopy because she was going out if the country she had a great experience with him and found him to be very patient,made her feel comfortable, and a good listener. I had my first appointment last week the only downside is that it seems like it takes about 2 weeks to get an appointment, but that is a good sign that the doctor is busy. I did have to wait 1 hour in the waiting room to see the doctor which was a tad frustrating however when I did see the doctor he fully listened to me and explained everything I did not feel rushed at all so I feel like it was worth the wait."
"Dr. Chandra, has the most professional,friendly,and comforting staff that I have ever been around. Especially at the location where he performs his colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures. The staff here should give clinics on how to relax a patient and give top quality health care.
Anyone needing the above procedures should definitely consider Dr. Baku Chandra and his staff."
"Dr. Do and his office was thorough and professional in his initial exams leading up to my colonoscopy, the procedure itself and afterwards. He came highly recommended from his peers and my experience with him has been excellent. He continues to provide me with sound medical advice through my regular visits as I work through my GI tract issues."
"I recently had a colonoscopy procedure that Dr. Hill's office was in charge of scheduling at a local facility. After prep and being wheeled into the procedure room, several minor issues arose with the facility. Dr. Hill stepped in, worked with the facility administration and worked out the issues. The procedure proceeded without any issues. Thanks to Dr. Hill's care for his patients and his ability to work with facility administration, I would highly recommend him."
"Wonderful doctor, had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Was told to expect 2-3 hours for the procedure and wait time and it ran as long as expected. Was promptly given information about my results after the procedure and she was very personable and diligent in her explanation of the results. would highly recommend her."
"I believe that Thomas Lyles, MD is one of those exceptional positive medical professionals. At my first meeting with Dr. Lyles, I found that he listened to my concerns, he explained the procedures and the previous tests result. After the hospital procedure was completed, he carefully explained what had taken place and what were going to be the next steps.
I was very pleased with my experience with Thomas Lyles, MD. I know that I can be a hard critic and combining that with an attitude of my innate crankiness with a first visit into the unknown the result can be much less than pleasant. This time (my first time with Dr. Lyle) was a world away from any previous experiences elsewhere. It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. When I say that the doctor and all the other employees made me feel that I was in safe hands and even made me smile when I left, then you can believe they are the best. I am truly grateful and won’t get that awful feeling of dread the next time I need his services. I appreciated Dr. Lyles follow-up and willingness to answer questions both before and after the colonoscopy. He made me feel that I was dealing with a trusted friend. When I need their service again, I know I will be welcomed. Thank you very much! From the front desk to the nurses, and to Dr. Lyles are professional and very thorough. Each and every one of them was courteous, professional, and made my visit as comfortable as they possibly could. I highly recommend a visit to Dr. Thomas Lyles."
"Dr. An truly saved my life. I came in as a very sick 14 year old who could barely function. I saw many doctors, most of whom didn't believe there was actually anything wrong with me, and had every test under the sun performed, just to find out that every single one was negative. Eventually I was sent to Dr. An and he finally gave me hope that we would figure out what was going on. From the moment he met me, he believed that something truly was wrong and was determined to figure out what it was. He ran more tests and even did a colonoscopy and endoscopy, all which were negative, but he would not give up. Finally he said the only solution was to do exploratory surgery, and he convinced a surgeon to operate. It turns out that there were many things wrong with me internally, and they were all just hidden from the tests due to their location. Because of Dr. An, I am now happy, pain-free, able to eat and drink, and able to live normally. While everyone else was saying I was making it all up for attention and would not take me seriously, he never doubted me for a second, and he made sure that we got to the bottom of what was going on. Thank you is not enough to express my gratitude for all he did for me. I truly don't know where I would be today without him. He is one of the nicest, most compassionate, most caring, most reassuring, most patient, most amazing doctors I have ever met. He really sits down with you and talks through everything, allowing you to ask questions and thoroughly answering every single one. He makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I only wish every doctor was like him. I would give him 100 stars if I could and highly recommend him. He is the best!"
"I was very anxious and nervous to get my first ever colonoscopy completed. Dr. Hill and his staff made this a much more pleasant experience for me. The staff & Dr.Hill were friendly & thorough and explained the process of what was going to take place. I will definitely be back and Thank You again for making this a much better experience than anticipated."
"I recently had a colonoscopy. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas Lyles!"
"I just had a colonoscopy last week and everyone at the office especially the nurses were very friendly and nice. Dr Hall was great explaining everything to me and answered every question I had as well as overseeing other issues that I needed to address. I was very pleased with how everything went."
"Dr. Brown is on-time and friendly. The reasons I chose Dr. Brown is his transparency in his YouTube videos and not having to do a consultation prior to getting a colonoscopy. Very convenient. I would strongly recommend Dr. Brown as a gastroenterologist and to do your next colonoscopy."
"My colonoscopy experience went awesome!!! Dr Candice Jantz and the whole staff were great. I was very nervous to get this done and it was one of my biggest fears. However, you are a sleep the whole time as if nothing happened. It's best to get checked out then to risk the growth of polpys or colon cancer. Find out early!!! Highly recommend."
"I came into the E.R. at Medical City Dallas with abdominal pain. After blood tests and hearing my history Dr. Magee gave a diagnosis that was right on the money.
Although I had gall stones removed and my gall bladder removed in 2016, after reviewing the current test data, Dr. Magee's diagnosis was that a stone or stones were missed in the 2016 procedure(Dr. Magee did not perform the 2016 procedure). His diagnosis was correct.
Dr. Magee performed an ERCP the next day. A very large stone was removed and now I feel back to normal.
High marks to Dr. Magee from me.
He was very professional and kind.
I believe his correct diagnosis and procedural skill possibly cut days off my hospital stay and gave it a solid, definite, and positive outcome."
"My wife had her colonoscopy w/ Dr. Cooley & he she could not have been more pleased. Everything went extremely well. The consultation appointment was also wonderful: Dr. Cooley spent almost an hour discussing various health concerns, explaining the procedure, and getting to know her. He is one of the best doctors we've seen in 40 years!"
"Dr. Cooley performed my first Colonoscopy. To say I was nervous and aprehensive would be saying it lightly. Him and his staff from the initial phone call to the procedure itself was a breeze and made me feel relaxed and calm through it all. I am very thankful for Dr. Cooley and his staff's professionalism and stress free atmosphere. Thank you Dr. Cooley. See you in five years."
"After 20+ years of progressively worsening problems with swallowing and keeping food/drink down (what was misdiagnosed as acid reflux), I was referred to Dr. Kedia who confirmed after tests that I had achalasia, not acid reflux. Three months ago, Dr. Kedia performed the peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) procedure. In my appointment prior to surgery, I asked a lot of detailed questions about the POEM procedure, potential side-effects, downside, etc. Dr. Kedia very patiently explained the process and showed videos and answered every question. Post-surgery, he also provided a complete, down to the smallest detail, step-by-step, written account of my procedure.
It is no exaggeration to say this has been a life changing event. Previously, on a good day, only half of what I ate or drank stayed down, which had impacts on my personal, professional and family lives. Since the surgery, I have had NO PROBLEMS with eating or drinking and keeping it down. As in NONE, ZERO. I got my (quality-of) life back. The entire process - tests, office staff, etc. has been positive."
"I just turned 50 and I was told that it was time to get the dreaded colonoscopy. I knew this day was coming but I did not want to go through with having the procedure. After meeting with Dr. Magee and discussing the procedure with him, I really felt a lot more at ease. His staff were calm, cool and very caring. Before the procedure one of his nurses came in and sat down with me because I was so nervous. She sat down and just talked with me and got me to relax. I cannot remember her name but she talked about Dr. Magee and what a special person he was with all his patients. Everyone in the clinic seemed to be happy and helpful. I am a business owner and that type of culture / behavior starts at the top with Dr. Magee. After the procedure Dr. Magee came in and explained what happened and how well I did. Dr. Magee showed me a real concerned for my health and I would recommend him to anyone."
"Dr. Cooley is absolutely the kindest and most caring person and I highly recommend him for anyone needing a Gastroenterologist. I have been a patient of his for many years and I cannot fathom having a endoscopy or colonoscopy with anyone else!"
"Recently had my first colonoscopy done with Dr. Shah. She was wonderful. She’s kind, patient, and answered all my questions explaining everything thoroughly. I would definitely recommend."
"I saw Dr. Brown's PA Megan Canady today and she was awesome! She took her time with me and listened to my symptoms carefully, and ordered a blood test and colonoscopy to find out what is going on. I am in my 20s and I have been having digestive issues for years. I was worried that I would just be told to eat healthier and see if it cleared up on its own like other doctors have done in the past, but I'm so glad that these tests are being done and that I will finally know what is going on. Her bedside manner was great as well. It's a little embarrassing to talk to someone about these issues, but she made me feel very comfortable. Most of the negative reviews I've seen for this office seem to be about not being able to get in to see Dr. Brown in a timely manner, but Megan is wonderful and I was able to get in in a few days. I would definitely recommend her. The receptionist and MA were very nice as well. Any time I called and left a message my phone calls were returned within a couple of hours which is really good for a busy office."
"Dr. Padda and his staff are very professional. I was very impressed with the care I have received, everyone was exceptional! I had a procedure(EGD) at the Preston Crossing location. I come from a healthcare background, and I thought the care that I received there was top notch!"
"I recently had my second colonoscopy from Dr. David Magee on 10/6/17. I had been so impressed with his knowledge, attention and service when I had my first one nine years ago, that I purposely requested that he perform this procedure for me the second time.Dr. Magee is a wonderful physician. His explanation of the procedures he performed is clear. He is eager to answer any questions and is genuinely concerned that I understand the information. Dr. Magee has shown that he cares about my health and I would return to him for my third colonoscopy without any hesitation."
"This past Monday (8/21/17) Dr. Mark Murray performed a colonoscopy on me at the THR Alliance Surgery Center. The procedure was seamless. The Doctor and staff was professional, warm, reassuring and absolutely wonderful. The next day I received a followup call from his office wanting to know how I was feeling and if I had questions about the procedure (This was also reassuring.). I had a few questions about the discomfort I was feeling. All questions were answered promptly and I was advised the discomfort should be gone by the next day, but if not, I was to call Dr. Murray if I was still experiencing the discomfort. The next day...I felt fine. I give 5 Stars and kudos to Doctor Murray and his staff and Highly recommend this Doctor and his staff at the THR Alliance Surgery Center."
"This was my first colonoscopy and I'll admit i was a little concerned over how the day would go, the staff and Dr Brown were exceptional. I need not of worried. Once there I was prepped for the procedure and kept well informed about what would happen, the staff were very caring and friendly. Dr Brown was very helpful and explained everything afterwards. Dr Brown's team are excellent, see y'all in two years."
"I highly recommend Dr Joseph and his staff. Dr Joseph does great work and treats you very personally. He checked on me via phone calls several times after my colonoscopy and his wife runs the office and she and her staff are superb. The only issue is Dr Joseph is a NY Giants fan, and he liked that they beat the Cowboys twice this year, other than that I highly recommend him."
"I had a colonoscopy last Friday, performed by Dr. Brown. Although I have had colonoscopy's before, this was my first time with doctor Brown. My experience was great. The staff was very efficient. My wait was very short. I had met Dr. Brown once before when my wife had a colonoscopy and I like the way he handles his patients. We talked briefly before and after the procedure and he explained exactly what had been done and that was it .. all done.
I would certainly recommend Dr. Brown without hesitation.
Thanks!"
"At 52 I had my first colonoscopy in May 2016, it was performed by Murali Alloju, M.D.. Upon completion of my exam Dr. Alloju informed me I had a large mass in my colon and needed to come out. At that point he had already talked to a surgeon and was coordinating the whole thing. I had surgery that same day and have had a miraculous outcome of not needing chemo or radiation. Dr. Alloju has tremendous bedside manner, he is passionate about what he does and is incredibly talented. I would highly recommend DHAT and in particular Dr. Alloju."
"Dr. Brown performed a colonoscopy on me last week. It was a procedure I was very nervous about and dreaded doing for several years. However, when I arrived at the facilities, the staff was very reassuring and friendly. Although they seemed to have done very many of these procedures, they took the time to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I applaud the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and Dr. Brown for doing an excellent job of making me feel more comfortable than I do at the dentist office. I would highly recommend having the procedure done because it isn't nearly as bad as I thought. I would also highly recommend using Dr. Brown and his staff to perform the procedure. Thanks Dr. Brown you are a true professional."
"I have been having stomach problems for awhile, but it was time to get this check out. I first did my research in seeking a doctor of specialty in gastroenterolgy.
Dr. Shah bet everyone I researched.
On my first visit she must have spent 45 minutes with me. Her bed side manner was unbelievable. Dr.Shah is calm and very caring, went over everything with me. She wanted to do a EGD to see if I had ulcers. I was scheduled and a bit nervous due to being under local anesthesia. The team there was great and every nurse raved about her! Dr. Shah did the procedure and woke up to her holding my hand. There were no signs of ulcers so she wanted my gallbladder checked. I had a HIDA scan done in Grapevine. I was asked who my doctor was, and told them Dr.Shah. They told me they see alot of her patients and everyone thought she was wonderful!
I am waiting on my results but feel so blessed to have her as my doctor!
We have to remember doctor's are not perfect, only God is.
I hope this helps you feel better about scheduling with her.
God Bless"
"My sister, a nurse practitioner, recommended him, so I knew he'd be good. Also, other family members are patients of his. I was an out-of-town patient and wanted a colonoscopy in one trip. His staff pre-screened me over the phone so I didn't have to have an office visit before the procedure. The colonoscopy went super smooth. Signed a few things, and they took me in right away. Dr. Brown and his assistants showed up after I changed. I was knocked out, woke up, and then out of there. I talked to the doctor before and after the procedure. No complaints."
"I've recently done an endoscopy and a colonoscopy with Dr. Brown and I'm also a subject of one of their research. Dr. Brown, Ben and their staff are great professionals and awsome people. They always take great care of me and are just so nice.
My experience in the research has been excellent. Ben is the one who always takes care of me and he makes me really comfortable by asking several questions and explaining all the procedures thoroughly.
I always feel good when I go there, even if it's to draw blood or other unpleasant things, because everyone treats me so nice and seem to really care about their patients."
