What a great staff. Never like getting these anyway but they made me feel comfortable and at home and I was able to cut up with them a bit as a prep me for the procedure well keeping the office safe during the pandemic with limited patients having exposure around each other. Arrived an hour early and filled out the paperwork I got called in a little early to meet with the anesthesiologist and will review the protocols and procedures. Excellent staff made me feel comfortable and I never was excited or stressed but what was about to come. I always love it when the anesthesiologist says you can count back from 100 and you really don't even make 99 so I was happy to wake up after the procedure only taking 20 minutes to complete and another 15 minutes for the anesthesia to wear off so I could leave. My son waited in the car as all other drivers or people waiting were forced to do to keep the lobby area clear of crowds. We were right next to Zaxby's so he simply grabbed a bite to eat waited in the car and I was out in short time and on the way home. I had no uncomfortable experiences and waited in till the next day to eat a pretty good meal because I was starving! I haven't got the bill yet but regardless this was a great staff great location very clean very happy with their service. Highly recommend!

I walked in at 930 as my appointment dictated. My husband told the front desk my first name, took…read moremy license, and insurance ID card. He signed all of the paperwork. I checked my bracelet and it had a similar first name to mine as well as a birthdate of November 1955. My birthdate is March 1974. The woman just heard my first name and said that I was there. She didn't bother to see that there were two women with similar names. Nor did she check my license or insurance ID to verify it was me. My husband asked to go home to grab something at check-in, and was told no. I finally got called back at 10:30. I was asked to go to the bathroom, and not flush. My BM was still brown. I was asked which solution I was prescribed, but I honestly did not know. Wouldn't they know if they prescribed it for me? I was also asked when I stopped taking pills, and I responded when the person I talked to through your company told me to stop. I was then told to go to the store, pick up (forgot name), and return at 1230. I went to the store as soon as I left the practice, picked up the product. Took an anti-nausea (that was prescribed) pill, and continued to drink the stuff. I believe I finished at noon. Got back to the office at 1230, where there was no receptionist. Someone finally got to me after waiting a few minutes. I told them I finished my drink at noon. They were shocked it took me so long to complete it. I had gastric surgery, so eating and drinking take me a long time. The anesthesiologist said I had to wait to be the last patient of the day because of the time I finished my drink. Completely understood for my safety. It is about 130 now. My husband had a DR appointment at 2 and asked to go there. They would end up saying yes, because he scheduled his appointment after he thought I would be home. I finally got pulled into the procedure room. I had to wait a long time for the doctor to come in. They finally started to put in the anesthesia. The Doctor then started the procedure, but didn't see that I was still awake. They had to place my IV in my other arm. Then I drifted off to sleep. While I was waiting in the pre-op room, I heard the nurses tell other patients about post-recovery. Not once did they tell me. At post-recovery, I had to ask about post-recovery. Honestly, there were to many issues with this office. I will NOT be returning.

Care, Knowledge, Compassion and Integrity!…read more I would like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the exceptional level of care I have received from Dr. Morales and his medical assistant, Daniela Lopez. From the very beginning of my treatment, Dr. Morales has demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism, urgency, compassion, and medical diligence. His proactive approach in identifying and testing for several potentially serious conditions gave me not only confidence as a patient, but also reassurance during a very stressful period. It is evident that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients and takes his responsibilities with great seriousness and integrity. Equally deserving of recognition is Daniela Lopez, whose commitment and consistency throughout this process have been truly remarkable. During Dr. Morales' absence, Daniela maintained continuous communication regarding my treatment progress, follow-up instructions, updates, and coordination of care. She ensured that I remained informed while also keeping Dr. Morales updated on my condition and response to treatment. In today's healthcare environment, that level of attentiveness, accountability, and patient-centered care is unfortunately becoming increasingly rare. As a patient, this is precisely the type of execution, communication, and dedication that builds trust and confidence in a medical practice. Dr. Morales and Daniela Lopez represent the standard of care that every healthcare organization should strive to achieve. At the same time, I would also like to respectfully share a concern regarding my repeated experiences with the front desk staff. Unfortunately, interactions at the reception level have often felt dismissive, disorganized, and lacking the professionalism reflected by the clinical team. Routine administrative matters that should be straightforward have repeatedly become unnecessarily frustrating and difficult to resolve. It is important for me to be honest in saying that the primary reason I continue with this practice is because of the extraordinary care and professionalism consistently demonstrated by Dr. Morales and Daniela Lopez. Their dedication, communication, and commitment to patient care stand in stark contrast to the experience often encountered at the front desk. I share this feedback not to criticize unfairly, but because I genuinely believe that professionals such as Dr. Morales and Daniela Lopez deserve a support structure and patient experience that reflects the same level of excellence they personally provide every day. Thank you for your time and for taking this feedback into consideration. Sincerely, Michael McGrath

From check-in with Ms. Maddie to check-out, the entire staff was courteous, efficient, and attentive to my needs. The facility was clean and well-organized. I especially appreciated how the nurses and assistants helped put me at ease, which was important given how stressful GI procedures can be. Dr. Stephen Beasley took the time to listen to my concerns, reassured me that all would be well, explained the process clearly, and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. His calm and compassionate manner was very comforting. Special thanks to: Vito, the anesthesia nurse Candice, my pre-op nurse Ms. D, the PACU nurse (I may not recall her full name, but I won't forget her patience) Jayla, the endoscope technician The procedure went smoothly, and I felt well cared for every step of the way.

For the 1st visit I had an on-site appointment and even though she was talking 10 mph I felt very informed. I left that 1st appointment very satisfied impressed with how much information she wrote tor me. After the appointment I called up my brother, who is also a doctor (a gastroenterologist), and he was even impressed with how detailed and thorough she was in the notes she gave me. After she got my blood test results from Labcorp she immediately followed up with me and told me what I should be doing to control my sugar and what time I should be eating every meal to control my thyroid function in my body. For my 2nd and 3rd appointments I had virtual visitdms and I was impressed with that call as well, even though we had a bad connection. She called me back immediately, apologized for the dropped call, even though it was not her fault, and we continued our conversation. She followed up that call with my labcorp results again, advised me on what I should be doing to correct my sugars even further and told me the prescription she was calling in. She even recommended natural solutions to my problems when I told her I did not like taking more medicine and then she answered all the rest of my questions. For the 3rd appointment, she even called me from her car when she found out that the nurse practitioner that was filling in for her was behind on her calls. Now that is a great doctor. She really cares about her patients and how well you are doing. If you are looking for an endocrinologist I would really recommend you go see Dr. Anbar. Even the front desk customer service is great.
