The nurse who met us in the room, she could’ve been a lil more polite when it came to the paper I gave her with my meds, but I just ignored her. The PA who came in & spoke with us, took his time to talk to us, answered all of our questions, explained everything. When he took us the lady at the desk by the room we were in, he told her to set us up for 3 weeks out. She took us to another waiting room & left us there. The lady who I saw was an older lady, very nice, very good at explaining everything & she wasn’t too pleased the lady who dropped me off if the lobby didn’t set my procedure date up. I said, yea I thought that’s what she was going to do… I said, I could’ve found my own way to that lobby. The lady in the pharmacy was very nice & was very good at trying to keep everyone’s private business private, even though it’s a wide open space. If I were to rate the nurses, the score would’ve been a 3, but the PA, waiting time & lady who set my date & explained how to take the medication was extremely good."

"Coming from a family with a bad history of colon cancer my father and two of my uncles were all diagnosed with stage 4 cancer by the age of 57. None of them ever had a colonoscopy done as a preventative measure. Sadly being hardheaded was the cause. Towards the end of my dad's life he told me get screened don't be like them " I'm not getting a tube put up my rear" . I started getting screening at 46 and now go every couple years and have had polyps removed ever time. If your on the fence about getting a colonoscopy don't be. The worst part is the day before prepping and not being able to eat but in comparison it's a small price to pay vs dealing with cancer plus your knocked out it's over before you know it. Dr Walsh is great makes you feel at ease throughout the whole process. Get screened! Rather have a tube put up my rear vs wearing a colostomy bag any day."

"Other than an initial administrative "hiccup" in trying to complete a "transfer of care" from one office/doctor to another, my experience was very, very pleasant. I believe the "hiccup" was a problem at the office I was transferring from so I still gave 5 stars because the Doctor and staff that I saw in the Plano office were wonderful. The office staff is friendly and professional. The doctor was very thorough and didn't jump to any conclusions. She took her time with me, she listened, she explained everything in detail and I felt very confident with her recommendations. The check out process is so organized as well. I couldn't have picked a better location (Plano office) or a better Doctor (Dr Lobrano)."

"Very friendly staff. Dr. Lamendola makes the visit comfortable by explaining everything to you so that you understand what services she will be providing to you and why."
"Mallori the NP was very thorough and listened to everything I said then recommended an x-ray and then called me at home and explained the treatment she recommended. However, I tried to call her back with questions. I called and texted Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. I never received a call back until 4:45 on Wednesday."
"My experience with this appointment was very comfortable . Everything that I needed was taken care of and my appointments was given to me when to come back thank you."
"The staff were great but was disappointed to learn I had to wait almost 3 months for a procedure dues to insurance that is accepted at other facilities. I realize that’s not 100% the doctors issue but I feel like they can negotiate with oschner for more availability"
"Love clinic staff and drs. Always thorough & professional. However the nurse who brought me to room. Yawned (not discreet yawns, im talking major open mouth yawns) the entire time while I was explaining my symptoms. It was very distracting and disconcerting. Rest of visit with Heather was great, very thorough & professional"
"My experience with Amy Lobrano have been extremely positive. I appreciate her knowledge and experience in this field. I will continue to visit her on a regular basis."
"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"
"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!!!!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My experience was very good. All nurses were very sweet and warm and made me comfortable. Dr. Amy came by before the procedure and explained everything nicely, answered my questions and I felt ready for my first colonoscopy! I will highly recommend her!!"
"Dr. Berggreen is extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to his patients. I am posting this review for my husband (Phillip Harrell). Outstanding doctor!!!!!"
"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."
"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 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."
"I highly recommend Dr. Amy Lobrano! Very professional and informative before and after my procedure. The whole staff was great and the nurses couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable! Thank you!"
"The entire staff were very very nice. The doctor, nurse everyone, I have nothing bad to say about any of them. When I go through that again I want the same ones"
"My procedure went very well. The entire staff were very kind and ensured I was comfortable. As soon as I was sleep the procedure was over. My instructions before and after care were easy to follow."
"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."
"He took his time to look at recent tests and answered all questions. I would recommend him to anyone because he takes the time to listen and offers advice in the best interest of the patient"
"It was a great experience seeing the doctor. He was very helpful and professional. He explained all my concerns that I had very well do that I could understand them."
"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!🇺🇸"
