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.

"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."

"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."

"My visit with Dr.Nelson himself was great. But prior to him coming in I had two nurses in the room. The one nurse who did my blood pressure was super nice and helpful. The other nurse who was taking my information like my medications and previous surgeries was not pleasant. As a nurse you should know how to look up and spell at least the beginning of a medication but she could not. I did explain to her prior that I had a lot of medications and she may want to write them down and go back and add them to computer. However she proceeded to type one letter at a time for like 25 prescriptions. She then got mad cause there were so many prescriptions and told me this is too much I’m just going to have to write the rest and add them in later. She was very unprofessional with eye rolling and attitude and deep gasps she would make as rolling her eyes. Like is said the visit with Dr. Nelson himself was great so they will get the stars for him but definitely not for the one out of the two nurses in the room with me ."

"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 have always had good things to say about going here and I really like Dr Chauvin. I have had him for all my family members because I like him. He has good bed side manners and is straight to the point and what we are going to do to get us relief or how we are going to get to that point. The only negative thing that I would say is the prep. The prep keeps changing and this new One with the two bottles was not good for prep. I never got clean and that was after doing everything they tell you to do for four days before your procedure. Go back to the one bottle with the two tablets by Dulcalax. This one worked great. Over all the nurses and doctors were great!!! I would tell anyone to go here."
"I highly recommend Dr. McDonald. I became a patient of his about 8 years ago and really appreciate his concern for me and helping with my gastro issues. My wife was so impressed, she switched to him as well."

"Dr. Berggreen has been my Gastroenterologist for approximately two years. At that time, I presented with serious and complex GI issues. Over the next months, Dr. Berggreen provided strict protocols to correct or significantly improve my conditions. He always explained every step of my process, encouraging all questions. Changes/additions to the identified procedures were made based on his expert experience, my input, and his evaluation of my compliance process. As a result of his protocols, my previous GI complaints were resolved. I am currently doing very well and maintain routine office visits to monitor my progress. Dr. Berggreen is very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I feel his continued support for my physical and overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Dr.Charles Berggreen, MD."
"I would highly recommend Dr Chapman to anyone who has stomach issues, after going to a local GI and he did many test on me and couldn’t find the problem, he referred me to Dr Chapman and after reviewing my records he asked if anyone ever checked for Celiac, I said no so we did bloodwork and it was borderline, and I started to feel better. Well after last year and all it’s craziness it started again and I just went back we did bloodwork again and now he said I Have Celiac Disease. Now I’m following a gluten free/dairy free diet and I hope to see changes. He is a great doctor! After following the diet since February I’m still have problems so he is checking other things out, said he won’t stop until we solve the problem! I really like this in a doctor!"

"I applaud this group for exceptional patient care! For months I have suffered with acute abdominal pain. My primary care physician diagnosed the problem and referred me. Because my Doctor wasn't immediately available I was scheduled to see Physician Assistant Kasey Gora. SHE IS WONDERFUL! Although she provided excellent care and has a wonderful beside-manner, it was her follow-up that made me feel as though she truly cared. She called me on a Saturday morning! But, it wasn't just a phone call, it was a conversation. She did not just ask a general question! She was very specific and listened to my responses. She even explained why I should be filling better and the continued plan of care. During my follow-up appointment, she was very intent on ensuring I knew what to do to minimize the Diverticulitis. She is Awesome!"
"Dr Alapati is a wonderful doctor who puts you at ease even while explaining results you’d rather not hear. I love his calm manner and his thorough attention to my case and what’s going on with me medically. He makes sure you’re ok. I would recommend my doctor to everyone."

"Dr Nelson performed cateract surgery on my left eye one day, two weeks later he did the same surgery on my right eye. I was hesitant to have eye surgery but it was necessary and when I was told that Dr Nelson could implant my contacts into my eyes while he did the surgery I decided to do it. His staff were wonderful. They knew I was nervous so they they stayed right there with me talking and making me feel comfortable. One of the nurses even held my hand through out the surgery. It was like a miracle to get up the next morning and get in my car and drive around like I never had surgery."
"Dr Mullins, has always been an excellent doctor to me. To be honest about it I would recommend others who would need his care. I thank that he has been treating me for the past six or seven years, I would refuse to be treated by any other doctor in his field, he's the best. An I am grateful for having him as my doctor."

"Went to Dr. Lamendola after a not so great appt with another doctor. I have to say I had a wonderful experience from the moment her nurse called me back, until I walked out the door. Her nurse was kind, compassionate, and friendly. When Dr. Lamendola came in she was not in a rush, she answered all my questions and was willing to take the time to explain things that I didn’t fully understand, and was sensitive to my fears and willing to find a solution that fit my needs. She even listened to some other struggles I was having (not related to Gastro) and referred me to programs that might help in those areas. I really felt that she cared about me as a person and not just another number walking through the door. Even the young lady who scheduled my next appointment was kind and considerate. The entire staff made such a great impression that I’m so glad I didn’t settle for subpar care at the other office I went to. Truly a great experience."
"Dr. Walsh listened to my concerns and responded appropriately without pushing for a lot of extra testing I didn’t need. I will definitely see him again if I develop any other GI issues."

"Dr Walsh saved my life, we couldn’t find out what was wrong with me and he did. The pancreatitis caused by my diabetes medication almost took my life. I wouldn’t have ever left his care, except that my insurance wouldn’t allow me to keep seeing him. I thank the lord for his care."
"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.

I feel very confident in recommending this facility in general and Dr Barker in particular."
"Dr Leo is really thorough. I just hate that people with a later appointment time than you are allowed to check in early and be seen before your appointment."
"We moved to Baton Rouge just 2 years ago and have seen Dr. Chauvin since. He’s been the most personable doctor I’ve seen! He’s professional, caring and the main thing (in my opinion) is...he listens. I would highly recommend Dr. Chauvin for your gastrointestinal needs! He’s great!"

Even after leaving Baton Rouge, I still make the drive back for my appointments because Dr Chauvin is an excellent physician. I never feel rushed in an appointment - he listens to my concerns, explains concepts well when needed, and I can tell he genuinely cares about his patients."
"I can’t say enough about Dr. Oubre. He is so very committed to his patients. The MOST kind and compassionate doctor I’ve ever seen and clearly is dedicated to resolving your issues and getting you well. Follow up phone calls and texts checking in on you, in my opinion, goes above and beyond the service most physicians are providing to their patients today. If I could give 10 stars I would."

"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. Lobrano is a very pleasant person, who has a wonderful manner in addressing your concerns, thoroughly explaining them to you. She has been my physician for many years and I will remain her patient for the duration of my stay in the land of the living."
"Dr. Ronald Leo is the BEST!! He discovered that I have a disease called hemochromatosis, and hematology isn’t even his specialty. His treatment of my colitis is superior. I trust him implicitly!"

So my Brother suggested I see his gastric Dr. who happened to be Dr. B.. And he found the problem put me on medicine and so far fingers crossed I’m doing fine.. Not 100% but better then I was.."

"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."

"I have had Crohn's disease for 45 years and have been treated by several doctors with varying degrees of compassion and success. I was fortunate to have Dr Chapman cross my path and I have never done this well or felt as confident in the quality of my care. If you have Crohn's - look no further."
