When I called the office the first impression was a wonderful one, with the scheduler being very nice on the phone. This first impression flowed to everyone in the office. I can say that everyone in this practice has the very best demeanor, they are compassionate and professional. They are very accommodating as well, since I totally screwed up when my actual appointment, and they were gracious enough to get me seen on the wrong day I showed up. The wait was so quick I didn't even have time enough to fill out the paperwork. Dr. Edgerton came in, listen to my concerns with my history and was thorough with his exam. The staff explained everything I needed to know. This practice is above the ordinary when seeking a professional, compassionate and wonderful Gastroenterologist. Thank you Dr. Edgerton for all you and your staff do for our community. You set a high standard in healthcare. Amy G.

Doctor Craig should be aware of how patients are being treated by the front office…read more I had an extremely unpleasant experience with Angie while trying to resolve an issue regarding my Cigna insurance and the covered alternatives to Suflave. I was simply trying to explain that my insurance covers an alternative prep solution and that I wanted to use the option covered by my plan. Instead of allowing me to explain, Angie repeatedly spoke over me. I politely asked her to please let me finish speaking, but she continued interrupting me. The call then disconnected. About a minute later, she called back and stated that the call had been disconnected accidentally. However, when I called back and identified myself and said I wanted to cancel both of my procedures because of how I had just been treated, the call was disconnected again. This entire situation was completely unnecessary. Patients pay for health insurance for a reason. If Cigna approves a covered alternative to Suflave, I should be able to discuss that option with the office without feeling pressured to purchase the prep solution sold directly through the office or being given a difficult time for wanting to use the medication covered by my insurance. What makes this even more disappointing is that I was only about a week away from my procedure, and I had not received an appropriate follow-up regarding these details. Instead, I ended up dealing with this type of treatment from the front office. I do want to recognize Sherma, the office manager, who was sweet, professional, and kind when I spoke with her. Unfortunately, that positive interaction was overshadowed by everything that followed. I ultimately canceled both procedures. No patient should have to argue simply to use an insurance-covered medication, and no patient should be spoken over or treated disrespectfully when asking a legitimate question about their care and insurance coverage. After this experience, I will be taking my care elsewhere. I sincerely hope Doctor Craig reviews how these situations are being handled by the front office because the way patients are treated by staff reflects on the entire practice.

I had my first interaction with Charlene during the intake process, and I was incredibly impressed…read more She went above and beyond by personally calling my insurance company and staying persistent despite the challenges. Having worked in the medical field for over 20 years, I know how frustrating insurance issues can be, but Charlene handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism, never once showing frustration.

I recently sought a second opinion after being diagnosed with a gastrointestinal condition by…read moreanother practice. The experience left me with unanswered questions and significant frustration, so I asked my primary care physician for a referral and was sent to Dr. Morris Hanan. Dr. Hanan's office scheduled me within a week (we coordinated timing so my most recent test results were available). I came prepared with records, test results, and many questions. Rather than simply accepting the prior diagnosis, Dr. Hanan carefully reviewed my information and asked thoughtful questions about why I believed I had that condition. After evaluating everything, he explained that he was not convinced the original diagnosis was correct and outlined a more measured approach. He recommended a structured dietary plan (lean white meats and cooked vegetables/fruits, avoiding fried foods) and asked me to track my intake and symptoms. Within days, I experienced noticeable improvement. While I am still in the evaluation process, the progress has been encouraging. What stands out most is his responsiveness. He has personally returned my follow-up calls promptly to clarify questions and provide guidance. In my most recent call, he advised gradual reintroduction of foods while continuing to monitor symptoms and suggested a follow-up visit in a few weeks. I appreciate his thoughtful, evidence-based approach and his willingness to reassess assumptions rather than immediately labeling a diagnosis. His staff has also been professional and efficient. If you are looking for a gastroenterologist in Tampa, I would recommend Dr. Hanan.
