"Dr. Mullins has been my gastroenterologist for over 20 years. He is very professional but makes you feel comfortable. Very friendly and listens attentively to questions and concerns"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Walsh for many years. From diagnosis to treatment he as been on point with my care. When my husband started having GI problems, I scheduled him with Dr. Walsh. Dr. Walsh is professional, thorough and a treasure to have on our care team. He listens and explains. He has never made us feel like he didn't have time to answer our questions. GREAT PHYSICIAN!!"
"I was nervous about having my 1st colonscopy, but Dr. Reddy and her team explained the process from start to finish and put ne at ease. I had a polyp removed and there were no complications. A few days later Dr. Reddy contacted me herself to provide the results from the polyp that was removed, "non cancerous". The only downside was the prep 😜 but it had to be done. Many people dred the process but I highly Dr. Reddy."
"DR. BE’ AND HIS NURSING STAFF ARE THE GREATEST! DR. BE’ HAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY AND BEDSIDE MANNER. HE IS MOST INTELLIGENT AND KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO GET YOUR MEDICAL PROBLEMS SOLVED. I WOULD RECOMMEND DR. BE’ TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR “THE ABSOLUTE FINEST GASTROENTEROLOGIST IN BATON ROUGE, LA”. HE IS VERY THOROUGH IN DIAGNOSING WHERE THE PROBLEM IS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE BEEN GOING TO DR. BE’ FOR A LONG TIME AND I FEEL SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE HIM AS MY DR. HE IS THE BEST!"
"I just moved to Baton Rouge from Metairie. I enjoyed meeting Dr. Reddy. She gained my confidence and I look forward to being her patient for many years to come."
"Dr. Walsh is the most caring, accommodating physician I know. He was so concerned about my husband symptoms that he was able to get him to a procedure the next day!!!! That’s one in a million you get in within a month!!!! Thank you for your service to your patients!!!!"
"Took a lot longer than previous prep visits. I explained that they usually prescribe a prep solution that my insurance doesn’t cover ($100 usual price) and could we try for an acceptable alternative. I received my order and was sent across the hall to pharmacy. As noted, it was $100 and $65 with a coupon. No thank you. They then sent me back across the hall and I had to wait to talk again with intake associate (who was great btw) and she had to fiddle around and find a product on my formulary list. All told, I think I was there almost 2.5 hours."
"Check in was normal procedure, nurse bringing me into room was friendly & Dr Lamendola is a gentle persuader in maintaining my health. I thank you all."
"Dr. Berggreen is extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to his patients. I am posting this review for my husband (Phillip Harrell). Outstanding doctor!!!!!"
"Rebecca Landry is one of the most caring professionals that I have ever met. She makes me feel heard and cared about. Thank you for her and the entire staff."
"I had a great visit with Dr. Leo. Not only did he explain the upcoming procedure but also talked about diet in general and the effect certain medications have on the digestive system."
"the staff from the sweet lady at the door to the ones who roll you out to your car are amazing. Dr. Mullins is just terrific. I absolutely love this guy. He takes the time to talk to you where you understand what he's saying. He's funny and tells you exactly what needs to be done for the best outcome. Could not be more pleased"
"Great experience with my office exam with PA, Heather she was very knowledgeable and took a decent amount of time with our visit and examination. She also explained everything very well to me."
"The receptionist I had was so very rude I have never been talked to in such a terrible way! She was the youngest receptionist there. She just as soon called me a liar as not! She said the Insurance card I give all my Drs offices to was not the correct one, so I gave her 3 other ones all with the same id numbers and she still said it was incorrect I told her I have had the same insurance since 2013 and have been going there since before then and all my other doctors have no problem with the card! I have Humana Gold Plus! I get new cards every year and I am a nurse my self and she made an awful face and rolled her eyes at me! I wasn’t rude in any way to her at all! I’ve had no trouble anywhere else I go! She said that what I gave her was for prescriptions only!!! It’s All on the same card as is my dental too! Then I sat for over 55 minutes and went back up to see if she knew how long it would be because I had another appointment I had to go to! She said she didn’t know! I was there early for my 8:15 appointment and I had an appointment at 10:00 in Prairieville. She would not call in the back to check . I finally got to the back and was told they were never notified I was there until I went back and asked the nurse who was calling patients back! I’ve been going to Dr McDonald for many years and if I didn’t like him so much I would be trying to find another Dr because of how I was treated!! The NP Carolyn Borne is also excellent and gave me a number to call if I ever have trouble again! So overall my experience was not so pleasant as I had to deal with the very unkind receptionist and I feel she should be reprimanded for her behavior ."
"Saw Dr. Christensen in the hospital - while he is not my dr, he was very good. Great bedside manner - took time to talk to me and explain things and allowed us to ask questions. Very much appreciated his helpful, kind attitude. Would highly recommend if you're in need of a GI dr."
"Everything was very nice and cordial. Was a very pleasant experience! I have nothing bad to say about this experience at all! Dr Porta filled me in after the procedure, wonderful Doctor as well as his team members!"
"I was treated with respect. The Doctor seemed very concerned about my prognosis and wanted to get to the bottom of the problem in my Stomach. I truly hope everything works out for the best."
"Dr. Leo provided great educational info, was very patient, easy to talk to and spent much time with us answering all of our questions. He made us feel extremely comfortable and relieved our fears and concerns. He was genuinely concerned about helping end my severe GERD.. I would HIGHLY recommend him to others!!! Excellent Dr.!!!"
"Mallorie Fletcher, NP was very thorough in her examination. She listened to my concerns empathetically and gave me options for treating my ailments. Mallorie was very attentive and showed both compassion and concern. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and supportive."
"Dr. Reddy’s PA., Mallory took care of me and made plans for testing of some recent problems. Not only is Dr. Reddy familiar with patients with Lynch, so is Mallory."
"Everything was as usually perfect. No waiting and great communication. My doctor was familiar with my case and acted to benefit me. He always points health issues that I have control of, this is quite satisfying. He has had my back for years and I can trust this will continue. Thank you Dr. Berggreen!🇺🇸"

"Dr. Walsh is one of the best in his field! Several of my family members are patients of his and we all have total confidence in his medical expertise. He takes his time during office visits and listens to any concerns you may have regarding gastro issues, while keeping your overall health in mind."
"My appointment for a check up went well. My health history was reviewed along with pertinent questions re my current condition. I felt the visit was handled professionally & cordially."
"Some of your nurses have on the way out before the Pharmacy has a tendency of talking down to patients. I really didn’t care for her at all. You asked my opinion so there it is. Mallori and the lady after her was fine. I guess it’s the fact that she was new and trying be perfect was her thing. I did retail management for 40 years but I never thought I was above the job. Here’s a chance for a teaching class. Have someone play a customer and check out the bedside manner."
"Timely office visit. Schedule for procedure convenient and easy appointment time. Very informative staff. Pleasant positive interactions with Dr.Lamendola and her staff team."

"I’m been in a lot of pain for the last three months and been putting off being treated. because I didn’t want to be seen by Doctor Oubre. I am recovering from cervical fusion so I didn’t want to go through anything else. The nurses aide that checked me in and asked all the questions was one of the sweetest little girls I’ve ever seen There. However, I want to change doctors and that has been a trial at a time that I am in a lot of pain and need the care. The first doctor I asked for refuse, and then I asked for someone else, and they haven’t even called me back. Kind of disappointing since I have been in so much pain. As I write this, I am sitting in LOL emergency room to be admitted and treated . Hopefully they can get to the bottom of this."
"I HAD A CONSULTATION WITH DR. WALKER McDONALD ON 01/18/2024. HE GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT OF WHAT THE PATIENCES PROBLEMS ARE, AND WHAT PROCEDURES THEY HAVE HAD PRIOR TO SEEING HIM.

"This was my first time there and my first time ever meeting a GI doctor. And let me just say that this was hands down the best experience I have had with any doctors office/staff. I walked in 15 min early, got checked in in less than 5 minutes, sat down and maybe sat down for 3 minutes before I was called back. I was there for over an hour but needed multiple things done so I was okay with how long I was there for. All of the staff are so nice and helpful, and Dr. Kurz listened to me and all of my concerns and is going the extra mile for me."

I highly recommend Dr. Be to family and friends for their gastrointestinal health."

"Dr. Berggreen is an oustanding physician who has treated me for years with my GERD, gluten intolerance and liver issues and helped me to keep healthy all the way to 79. He definitely deserves a 5 star rating. I am not quite so pleased with the firm that owns his gastroenterology practice which is why I only gave a 4 rating total. I have trouble scheduling visits. When I leave the office I can't schedule a 4 month or 6 month visit since they don't offer that option and I sometimes slip past when I should come in again."

I'm not sure which process is longer - checking in at the Gastroenterology Associates office with their new computer check-in process .. or purchasing a house. I'm glad came 30 minutes early. It's smooth sailing after suffering though the check-in process! My suggestion: make the process easier."

"Absolute perfection. Recommended from co-workers. Great venue. Lovely staff. Loved Dr Porta right away. Most important to me : I am not afraid. He spoke with me in a very kind, straightforward way. I have worked ER for 35 years and he is The Dude. The right physician for me. 400%"

Before entering the room, Dr. Christianson had reviewed my records. He asked probing questions and listened to my answers. He provided treatment choices and information, some new, some I already knew. Dr. Christianson didn’t push me to try something new. He left the chose up to me.
