The people here have always gone out of their way to make me comfortable and at ease. Even if you don’t have this disease in your family, GO GET A COLONOSCOPY! It could save your life."
"Dr. Barker is the best! I am so grateful to have him as my doctor because he makes me feel that my concerns matter. He takes his time to listen to your concerns, provides a solution to the problem, and is very thorough. I was in the hospital for the first time in my life. After several weeks of losing blood, several visits to the emergency room, three blood transfusions and not knowing the cause. Dr. Barker was the first doctor to suggest an iron infusion. After the iron infusion, my blood count began to rise, and I was finally able to be released from the hospital. Dr. Barker also performed an Upper Endoscopy and a Colonoscopy on me as well."

He explained everything with great knowledge and kindness . I appreciate everything that he has done for me and would recommend him to anybody ."
"The LA Endoscopy center is well equipped and it provides the best care . Dr. Neelima Reddy is very professional and knowledgeable. I am her patient for many years and she always provided me with the excellent care and the information related to examination. Also, she and her staff, are always approachable for any questions needed. I had both GED and Colonoscopy . The preparation were excellent. After the procedure is finished Dr. Reddy explained the results and provided me with all information. It is very comforting to know that in case of your sickness you have an excellent doctor that care. Thanks Dr.Reddy I appreciate ❤️🙏"
"Dr. Be is the best. Very professional and informative. "Your Colonoscopy went well, I understand." Said Sherlock to Watson. "No s**t, Sherlock.""
"Dr. Lamendola is wonderful! I had my first colonoscopy done today at woman’s hospital. She explained everything thoroughly and was very kind."
"I have been to several GI doctors but Dr. Berggreen has shown an extreme amount of attention to my issue. He’s very thorough and has gone beyond other doctors toward resolving my condition. Upon the recommendation of Dr Chan from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida you arranged for me to go and see a Speech Therapist at Brown & Rogers Physical Therapist in which they have not called me as of yet for an appointment. Secondly you arranged for me to take a EGD with Dilation test at y’alls LA Endoscopy Center on the first floor on August 25th at 9:00am."
"I felt Dr. Maltbie did an excellent job performing my EGD and colonoscopy. He explained to me the results of the procedures and actions that needed to be continued."
"Dr. Maltbie is an AWESOME doctor. He is very generous and straight to the point. The nurses also at Gastroenterology Associates in Baton Rouge are also Awesome. My wife had a colonoscopy done by Dr. Maltbie and with his experience it was determined that my wife may have colon cancer. He had all images and surgeon scheduled ASAP!! Thanks Dr. Maltbie there is not enough STARS to REVIEW you and your Associates. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"
"I have been seeing Dr. Benton Oubre for many years and have a procedure every year due to being a colon cancer survivor . He is very professional yet cares about his patients. I recommend him highly for his outstanding care during all these years. Due to my genetics for cancer I’ve seen many Drs over the past 30 years and I can attest that Dr. Oubre is one of the best!"
"I have been Dr. Oubre’s patient for a number of years. He is very thorough and explains my medical diagnosis so I can understand it. He answers all my questions and put me at ease for the colonoscopy procedure. His staff are patient and kind and always return my calls. I arrive for my appointment and am seen without delays."
"Today I had an EGD with Dr. Rao. The procedure went well. Dr. Rao, his staff and surgery team was very informative about my procedure. I highly recommend Louisiana Endoscopy Center."
"Dr. Prasad Alapati is a very kind and caring physician. As a gastroenterologists, he keeps me free of colon cancer by regular exams. It should be noted that colon cancer is the only form of cancer that is preventable as regular Colonoscopies allow the physician to remove polyps before they can develop into colon cancer. Dr. Alapati's manner makes having a colonoscopy, a procedure thay many people fear a good event with a good outcome. Even the prepatory medications have improved to be not nearly as uncomfortable as they had been in the past. I can highly recommend Dr. Alapati as a gastroenterologist. He is a scholar and a gentleman!"
"Dr Chauvin has great bedside manner. Very thorough and explains clearly the medical condition and options. I would highly recommend him for colonoscopy and all other gastro needs."
"Dr. Lobrano is a very knowledgeable and thorough physician. She really follows up well with her clients who.have had issues that need close followup regimen. I am so grateful for this. Last year I had a Colonoscopy and had 16 polyps. Well now, she advises me to see her yearly to keep a close eye on this condition. I really appreciate this. I would appreciate, however, in future that they would have a process of checking on patient's wait time before seeing the doctor. I waited over an hour before being seen. The problem this posed for me was that I took off unpaid time from work. So financially this caused problems for my pay as well as being back on work to do my job. If they could devise a system whereby if patients waited more than 15 or 20 mins., to notify registration clerks then maybe this would expedite the process."
"Dr. Christensen has been my gastroenterologist for many years, and I recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation. He is a very caring, knowledgeable and professional physician. Without his timely intervention and expertise, I would be facing colon cancer treatments right now! Toni Gilboy"
"My colonoscopy and upper GI was a breeze, thanks to Dr Be and his great team of nurses. Dr Be is not only kind and and easy to talk with, but understanding of his patient’s fears and expectations. I would recommend him without a doubt."
"I had some concerns about my colon health, plus it was time to repeat it my PCP scheduled me with Dr.Alapati and he address all my fears and concerns because of Famy history of colon cancer...The staff was awesome and so was Dr.Alapati ✔ every area of concerns ... Sincerely Dr. J James"
"All of the staff was exceptional - from receptionists, to aids, to nurses, anesthesiologists, and my doctor. Dr. Be and his team made the whole experience a positive one....No one likes a colonoscopy, but it’s necessary. So, I recommend the best. The facility is spotless. The entire team works seamlessly and efficiently together. Dr. Be explains what will happen beforehand, and he provides feedback immediately after I woke up. If you’re looking for a gastroenterologist, I’ve found the best."
"Had to give Dr. Oubre a review since I saw he only had one and it only had one star. We LOVE Dr. Oubre. He can run a bit late on appointments (all the best Dr's do) but never 2 hours. We go every four months and 30 mins behind is typical: an hour is the absolute most we have waited. He was 100% on time for my dad's colonoscopy. Excellent bedside manner. He has without a doubt added years to my father's life."
