She also recently diagnosed a serious autoimmune condition after listening carefully as I described my symptoms. Dr. Carson is an exceptional diagnostician who acts decisively, thus eliminating the need for unnecessary tests or medication. To my surprise, some patients' reviews said she is rude. She is a very direct, no-nonsense person, not rude. I would much rather a doctor be an expert in their field and communicate clearly than one who addresses you as "sweetie" and sugar-coats things. Dr. Carson is actually a very nice person and an outstanding doctor who genuinely cares about her patients.

If the tests were not "medically necessary" why would he prescribe them?? Be very cautious utilizing the services of Dr. Lyday.

I have been to two other gastroenterologist who said I aged out of follow up colonoscopy even though I had good reason for follow up.

He explained my medical issues and action plan with clarity on my level of understanding. I highly recommend him.

It's a game of back and forth for days dealing with an offsite call center. Strangely, when I was at the clinic I mentioned this to the front desk staff and she said they were aware and that they now send all calls to a call center. Then as I wait for my doctor for 45 minutes, I had plenty of time to observe and noticed the two women at the desk sitting there doing very little. WHY aren't they helping with some part of the patient experience?! Anything! Two appts with doctor Garud where I waited over 45 minutes and 1:15 mins after appt time to see him. I finally address that my time is as valuable as his and he laughs it off and says "oh you're the guy with is in a hurry!" Then we arrive for my colonoscopy and we wait TWO HOURS after my appt time before I am wheeled back. I tell the person taking me back that making patients wait two hours is uncool and he says "yeah, Dr Garud really overbooked himself today!" Apparently Dr Garud thinks his time is more valuable than everyone else's. Last note: they require your driver to not leave the building during the procedure but their waiting room is far too small. And cold and sterile. Terrible experience for your driver! We are searching for a smaller gastro clinic that can provide some level of patience consideration.

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.

My experience led me to speaking with an off-shore scheduler for my colonoscopy; my rep was difficult to understand, continued to cut in and out, and finally was completely disconnected before the phone call was completed. I did not receive a call back after being disconnected, but I did receive an email confirming the appointment but did not receive any instructions regarding preparation procedures. A week before my procedure I called the office because I still did not received any information regarding preparation procedures and got transferred to a virtual agent. The virtual agent then sent me to "gift heath". I finally got a human at "gift health" who informed me that my prescription was ready and that I needed to pay them a $10 co-pay and it would be mailed to me. I was NEVER informed of "gift health" for the prescription so I hung up in frustration. I checked my portal and no where were there instruction or information regarding "gift health" or preparation procedures. I then called back the main office back several times in my efforts to speak with a human. I did speak to a helpful person, Millie, in scheduling that convinced me to not cancel my appointment because I was so disgusted by the way I was being treated and assured me she would get me a human. After 35 minutes, I was able to speak with a human and received my prep information. I cannot put into words how upsetting this experience has been. I really like Dr. Peji and that is the one and only reason I will go and get my colonoscopy. If you really want to use Atlanta Gastro I suggest you make an in-office consult appointment, this way you get to speak to a human and be treated like one. I am incredibly disappointed in their treatment of their patients. I can recommend Dr. Peji with confidence, but to off-shore the important information needed for a colonoscopy and to receive no information regarding the preparation is completely unacceptable.
