My appointment for Blair Gastro was on June 24, 2021, and I saw Dr. Bouassaf. First, when I…read morearrived, the staff members made me feel totally comfortable, and promptly checked me in. I waited maybe 5 minutes before they called me back to see the doctor. After getting vitals checked and other info, I waited maybe another 5 minutes before Dr. Bouassaf joined me. I can't state to you what a relief it was to have a physician that totally could talk to me on my level and describe what was going to happen and actually explain my CT Scan that was performed on me at UPMC Altoona in May when I went to the ER. The ER Dr should have been the one to interpret the results, but he just sent me home. Dr. Bouassaf got me to describe my symptoms in a way that no other doctor has succeeded because I usually feel pressed when I'm meeting with a doctor and I tangle up my words. He made me feel as though he honestly paid attention to me and wanted what was best. He showed very calmly the procedures he felt I needed to have done and proposed I have a MRI at another facility. I highly recommend Blair Gastro and this is where I will go for all my Gastroenterology needs.

Stated emergency procedure was unwarranted leaving us to belief they didnt value of the patient. Also stated that it was policy not to perform a scope until stress test etc was done first and cleared by cardiologist. Eventhough the cardiologist cleared the patient to have it done before his tested us digestive still refused. This has lead me to believe they do not respect the decision made by the cardiologist that ordered the stress test in the first place. How very sad such decrease in care.
