They have a nice size parking lot so that's not an issue it can get busy but there's also a hidden lot to the left. The place is always clean. The receptionists in the front are nice , and friendly. And they move the line fast! The seating area is nice and comfortable no terrible chairs. It's very quiet and private. The assistants that work for the doctors are always so happy and caring , and they make sure to let you know all details , and answer any questions you may have. When being brought to the room it's also nice and quiet and comfortable , you can bring someone with you as well it isn't an issue. ( I don't like going to appointments alone ). They also have translators and they do an amazing job with your beloved family member , they will never be left in the dark. The doctors are even better, they care , they want to get you better and they want to do everything they can. Dr Okpara is Amazing I love her ! She has a done a few procedures on me and she knows I'm terrified to be put to sleep and she holds my hand and calms me down and is great, like I'm so thankful for her. This place is just beyond great! If you need a G.I doctor come here. You won't regret it , and you will never want to be seen by anyone else.

I was referred here by my PCP for my first colonoscopy. As an RN for over 40yrs, I appreciate how…read moredifficult our healthcare system can be. From the referral, this office called me promptly to set up my procedure, and reviewed my history over the phone, then sent me very specific instructions on my prep via mail, which I like. The office was very good with reminders via text of my upcoming date. The location is great, right near post office abd close to highway. The parking is great and my procedure was at 1pm(I was home by 2:15). I went in at 12:30 just to check in and sign the consent and went in and spoke to a nurse before they prepped me. Everyone was so friendly and nice and made me feel at ease. The place is clean, neat, not noisy, very peaceful and quiet. I met my GI doctor- Dr Dreisbach, who was very nice and answered any questions I had. She was friendly, professional, gentle and I was in good hands. She came to talk with me after my procedure in recovery. The staff offered me juice and crackers/cookies, then I sat up and dressed. The nurse walked me out to my ride and we laughed about something goofy I probably said. They gave me discharge instructions to take home in case I needed to call if I had any problems or questions. I was very happy and relieved. I would definitely recommend Gastroenterology Associates to anyone needing a GI referral.

The first person I spoke with had an accent so thick it was difficult to communicate. The second person had dogs barking in the background. Rather frustrating. I'll be looking elsewhere. The call centers are becoming a very common, yet dissatisfying service and are not doing businesses any justice. What happened to calling an office and getting a real live person who is actually sitting at the desk to talk to? Customer service is crucial especially when dealing with medical needs.

First, I called to set up my appointment, everyone was very helpful, listened to all my questions and always gave me professional answer and every single bit of information I needed. Very helpful team and they call back, never left me hanging. The day of my procedure, everything was even better than expected, Dr. Pedro Barros is outstanding, he is kind, a wonderful doctor with excellent bedside manners, very professional, as well as the Anesthesiologist, and all the team, all of them were very helpful to make me feel at ease. The procedure itself went smooth, my recovery from sedation was a breeze, got my results very soon after, and confirmation on the mail as well. The patient portal is very useful. I am gladly impressed. Thank you!

She then went on to say, she would need to ask me a few questions to verify my identity. She called my house and asked for me! I could NOT understand her!

I had just seen my PCP and had talked about finding a new practice, now I definitely will! 8am is too early for those type of phone calls and the person making them should speak UNDERSTANDABLE ENGLISH.

As we walked in, there was a nice receptionist ready to help and within a few minutes, my husband went it.

He came out with a full report with pictures and instructions. Very professional, very efficient.
