"My experience at the offices of Dr Casey Chapman could only be described as a cathartic out of body experience. I was greeted by a staff that had the resemblance of the Gods of Olympus. Making one question their own place in the world wondering why one would deserve such an angelic treatment. As far as the treatment of patients goes, the gentle and caring approach of the staff emits a sense of comfortability only rivaled by the comfort of your own mother. You will leave this office with a sense of clarity of your condition, confidence in your outlook, and security in your health. I cannot recommend this palace of healing enough as they have assisted me in becoming the best man I can be. Ps… The staff really is genuinely gorgeous."

"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, through 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!!"
"Dr. Chapman and his staff handle their patients with the utmost respect and empathy. The support and resources are exceptional. I came here with a very complex set of issues after years of Crohn's disease and messy gut scarring from endometriosis + laparoscopic surgeries. He was able to navigate the details of my symptoms, history, lifestyle, etc. and help me vastly improve my problems and my overall quality of life."
"Because of having a history of colon cancer in my family, I have been advised to get regular colonoscopies. Each one has been a positive experience. 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 Douglas Walsh is the BEST. He has been my husband's Dr for going on 6 years now and he saved his life. When he started seeing him it was in the hospital and was only given 48 hours to live being diagnosed with Stage 4 Cirrhosis of the liver with only 13% liver function at the time of arrival at the hospital. Was in ICU for 5 days and Rehab for 21 days. Was 270 lbs when he got sick now at 209 and will be 6 years sober this year 2023. Numbers are good with lab results. Thanks to Dr Walsh and God for giving him a second chance at 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.

"Honestly, I don't know where to begin. Dr. Kirk Mullins is one of the best Doctors I have. He never rushes you. He really listens to your complaints and will try whatever method he has to try to find the source of your problem. I am 71 years old and have many health issues including severe Gastro problems. His bedside manner is impeccable. I have many Doctors for different problems and Dr. Mullins, hands down, is the very best Doctor of all. He is ALWAYS in a good mood every time I see him. Some Doctors are nice, but occasionally, you catch the results of their bad day which affects you in the long run. Dr.Mullins is the same every time you see him. He has so many good qualities and is very, very smart in diagnosing. I wish he could be all of my Doctors or I wish all of my Doctors could be like him. He gets an A++ in my book. Anyone who is in doubt about going to him-GO-you will NOT regret it."
