Birmingham Gastroenterology Associates was established in 1978. Since that founding, we have grown to a group of 14 Board Certified Gastroenterologists. As gastroenterologists, we care for patients with diseases and disorders of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. Gastroenterologists also receive specialized training in endoscopy, a non-surgical procedure which uses a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it to examine the inside of the digestive/intestinal tract. Our physicians see patients and perform procedures at multiple locations conveniently located throughout the Birmingham area. BGA physicians maintain collaborative relationships with local primary care providers. If your primary physician refers you to BGA, our office will communicate your treatment plan or test results with your physician. You may also contact our office at 205-271-8000 to schedule an appointment at any location.

sweet, caring, over the top care, great medical staff. everyone was awesome. thank you
Very professional made me feel at ease when I was clearly very nervous they took care of me 🙏👍 …
Dr. Cochran is outstanding, and Margaret Moore is the best nurse anesthestitist in the business! I would have given six stars, but they only offered 5 as the Max.
In 2016 Dr. Risi Agarwal saved my life by performing a colonoscopy on this stubborn 60 year old that had symptoms for several years but buried his head in the sand. …
Great place and professionals. I love the way they take care of my son! He is given respect and the treatment is explained in detail so you are not left guessing what is expected.
TL;DR – I have been in Dr. Levio’s “care” for 10 days and have received only minimal testing, no diagnosis, no treatment, no relief, and NO CONTACT. …
Dr Cochran and his staff are awesome. Very professional, caring and will do all they can to help you. They dont waste time In getting test done and getting the results to you as fast as possible. I am so glad that I am under the great …
I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best Doctors and staff. The pharmacy is incredible as well. Thank you for helping with a difficult health issue with much success! You all made it all bearable.

I love my Doctor Cochran and his nurse assistance Ms. Katrina. They are GREAT!! They never gave up on me. They are also in touch with you. I thank God for them!
Dr. Shall cross is my physician. He is very compassionate, kind and caring. He is very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. I highly recommend him. Great staff as well.
All the staff were great from checking in at the parking deck to signing in and then the prep nurse and then the anesthesiologist and nurse anesthesist to the doc and his staff as well, thank you!
My teenage daughter was recommended to this practice by an acquaintance. She is a patient of Dr. Charles Dasher. He has executed a few procedures and attended to her IBS. He is attentive, patient, gentle and made her feel very comfortable. I recommend Dr. Dasher to anyone without hesitation.
I had an awesome experience, from the front desk staff and the nurses, to the doctor. Everything went real smoothly, and I was in and out within an hour.
I had an appointment with this office and I unfortunately didn’t have any one to come with me and there for I could not keep my appointment on that date. I am trying to get someone to sit with me so I can continue with my appointment with you. I thank this office for being understanding. Thanks Lisa Spencer
Dr. Michael Phillips is the epitome of a wonderful physician — smart, conscientious, and compassionate. He is a huge asset to Birmingham Gastroenterology Associates. His efforts helped me arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan. Highly recommend!!
Love Dr Kukati! He’s thorough. I am impressed about the fact he reviews my chart completely. He’s also very prompt with answering questions through the portal!
My experience with BGA was extremely positive. My wait times were minimal, and the staff was very friendly, polite, and professional. The facilities were clean and easy to access, and Dr. Landy was outstanding. I would highly recommend BGA.
Awesome Dr Phillips and wonderful staff. So glad he found me at St Vincent’s hospital stay.
I can only relate my experiences with Dr. Philpot and staff and I was surprised to see how many other patients had difficulty with him and his staff. Should have read the reviews first!! I agree with other complaints that staff is rude, (NO …
Having had my colonoscopy today everyone was so friendly and professional. Any worries I had they helped me through that. Everyone there from escorts, anastasialogist, nurses, and my Dr Agawal. Also there was no waiting. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
Very friendly and professional service.
I was very pleased with the friendliness of the staff and physician. Since I have had colon cancer and am changing from my good friend & physician in Texas to Alabama, this is a big deal. I really liked everyone I met..
The entire staff were amazing. They were very thoughtful and knowledgeable. I would recommend you come here.
Birmingham Gastroenterologist Associates and it’s staff are friendly and efficient. When I need to see my doctor, I can always get an appointment within a few days. Normally, unless of an emergency, I am seen on time. If there has been an …
My experience was positive…Dr. John C Shallcross was empathetic and patient. His staff was thorough and responsive. Fortunately my problem was resolved and I will be seeing them in five years for another procedure. Thank you
I told them I had another appointment at 9:20am and could I make it, they said yes, we will schedule you as the 1st patient in at 6:00am. I was on time, they were nice checking me in, then waited. I asked 3 different nurses about how long …
The recent visit with Dr. Shaver was only my second time seeing him and it was a great experience both times. He’s very knowledgeable and takes time to make sure the patient understands everything. I would refer him to everyone.
This place is terrible. Emily Patton was never my doctor. Never met her but she had no problem calling me being hateful denying my refills just so they could charge another office visit. This place dose not care about its patients but …
Dr. Shallcross is great! All of the staff at St Vincents 119 Surgery Center were very caring and professional. The experience was very good.
I’m really not one to leave a lot of reviews but this place so far exceeded my expectations that I felt I had to. Everyone here was so nice and caring in what was a stressful situation for me that it really left an impression. I can’t say …
I’ve had dozens of tests to figure out what’s wrong with my GI system and it’s increasingly alarming symptoms, and they’ve never been able to tell me. The doctors are uninterested in the condition of their patients and completely …
This was my first visit to to have my first call Colonoscopy after I turned 50. I didn’t know what to expect but the team at Birmingham Gastroenterologist maid me very comfortable. …
My office visit and time with the Dr. was brief and to the point. He was kind, but I wish he would have explained a bit more. I have read about he and his Father and both have a very impressive background and education.
Dr Cochran has been my doctor for 25 years. Knows what he is doing!! Staff courteous and attentive. Very caring.
I drive an hour and a half just to see these Doctors. It is worth it. I have Crohn’s Disease and never had such a perfect combination of prompt administrion, sincere bedside manner, and results I felt gave me a better quality of life. Special thanks to Rajat Parikh, And his Nurse Practitioner!!
Again, Dr. Cochrane showed patience and compassion with my condition as we venture on trying to find a solution. He does not rush and make you feel like he isn’t listening. He takes time with each of his patients.
From start to finish, I was relaxed and confident with BG and its staff. Making the appointment was a snap. They kept in touch with me the whole time. The day of the procedure went like clockwork. I am completely satisfied with Birminghan Gastroenterology and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
I saw Dr. Dasher and he was great. I would give him 5 stars but I have to give the facility 2 stars. At the time of service they collected close to $400 and I thought that would be all. Fast forward a few months and I get surprise calls …
Actually, I had a decent experience. It’s a colonoscopy how great can it be? However, they did an excellent job. Once you get past the “prep” it was a breeze.
The staff were professional but personal and friendly from the start of my experience. Although I was not nervous, each person put me at ease and made the process simple and thorough. I would trust them again should I need their services.
The entire team was courteous and professional. I felt completely at ease and every question I had was answered politely and thoroughly. I will definitely recommend Birmingham Gastro to anyone who needs their services.
Dr. Shaver and his staff are phenomenal. I have been a patient for about 5 years and he has been very supportive and helpful in seeing that I overcome some major hurdles in finding a relatively healthy me.
Dr. Dasher AND staff are happy and it’s obvious. Dr Dasher appreciated that I didn’t care for meds and helped me work around constant meditation. I will always use him. Love the convenience of Pell City St Vincent’s vs Birmingham as well!
Dr. Shallcross is a great doctor. He took the time to listen,call my referred physician and followed up with needed procedures. His staff is also very friendly and attentive.
I registered online as well as paid my copay, having all those items taken care of upon arrival. My wait was very short and my time in the exam room was minimal with the nurse, then nurse practitioner, who was very efficient an fast. My Dr …
From the pre-registration to parking… from check-in to wait time… all was completed with efficiency and expediency both maintaining quality of care within the regulations mandated by the time in which we live. All of the staff were …
So very pleased with my experience of a colonoscopy with B’ham Gastro Assoc. Dr. Shallcross is one in a million and I could not have asked for a more caring and kind doctor. His personal care was above and beyond.
Once I got through the “rig-a-mroll” of getting a covid-19 test w/in 5 days of my procedure, everything else was just fine. Day of procedure, the check in went as planned and I was in at 8am & out by 10:30. Everyone at St. Vincent’s 119 Surgical Center very attentive & professional. Huge Thumbs Up.
Colonoscopy test:
I would like to bring awareness to the treatment that I received regarding a colonoscopy test: …
I had surgery in August and ended up with more problems than before. My doctor sent me to Dr Rodgers. He pretty much knew right away what he thought the problem was. I am going to have another surgery to repair the damage the others doctor …
After waiting 3 weeks for an appointment and waiting forever in the waiting room, Dr. Miller spent 5 minutes with me, didn’t examine me, save 10 seconds of barely pressing in 3 places on my stomach, wouldn’t let me finish a sentence, told …
Amazing staff !! Everyone was so kind and kept my husband informed of my progress during my surgery. He was grateful for that as this was during the Covid 19 crisis and he waited in the car for me during surgery ( although he later informed …
Dr. Shaver does a great job and even though it is not the most pleasant experience to prepare for, the entire team gives you a sense that you are in good hands!
The office and staff members were very nice and professional. Dr. Cochran seem to be interested in what was going on with me. And eager to see if we can help find solutions to help me feel and do better. I would highly recommend them
I go to the Cullman office for my appointments. They are always so helpful and nice. Dr. Blumh and NP Katie are just awesome. Appointments are thorough and they don’t make you feel as if you are just a chart number. Thank all so much.
The whole staff and my Dr. were so nice. Even in the waiting room it felt welcoming.
When UAB has failed me would not listen to Dr. Parikh or DR Jones both came to same conclusion different practices different hospitals. UAB would not even acknowledge Dr. Parikh or Dr Jones opinions or work up.Dr. Parikh has stepped up to …
All staff courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Dr. Dasher was awesome! Fixed my problem and very pleased. Will come back for follow-up as needed.
My Dr is Argawal…. have had many office visits & many procedures done by him. He is very thorough, kind, great bedside manner. Even held bag for me as I was being sedated due to being nauseous. These procedures were done at Princeton. I …
Very good experience. Well planned and laid out to support patient safety. All nurses very professional and friendly as was Dr. Shallcross. Appreciated him stopping by post procedure. Highly recommend.
From the time I arrived until my departure I was greeted with a smiling face. I want to give special thanks to Heidi she was my nurse and I felt like I have known her all my life if I had to recommend someone her my words are soeeechless. Best place ever
Everyone was Very Sweet to us. They seem to care about us. Nurse’s, Doctor Cochran and everyone took care of me very good.
I did have to wait in the waiting room for a LONG time, which wasn’t comfortable …
It was a pleasant experience. All Healthcare workers were kind, friendly and courteous. The Dr was very wonderful
I have been seeing Dr Parikh for several years. I have to say I love him. He’s very professional and seems to care about his patients. The NP is also great as well as the other staff. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
The medical staff were all very friendly and professional. I was in and out pretty quick (colonoscopy), and they followed up on my care to see how I was doing. They were also good at following the COVID-19 prevention protocols.
Fantastic experience. In and out in the time indicated and they called the next day to check in. Nurses were friendly and took great care of me. Recommend Dr Cochran.
I have been at patient at BGA for 11 years. Their office staff is always pleasant and accommodating. I have been a patient of Dr. Rishi Agarwal’s for the last several years. He’s amazing! His bedside manner and medical knowledge are top …
I am greatly appreciative to Dr Shallcross for his kindness thorough care . I just had my CT scan yesterday and very greatful for your dealings with my insurance. I will always recommend him with great confidence. Thank you Wendy Allen
I saw Dr. Charles Dasher. I was very impressed with his office staff who were amazing. Dr. Dasher was very personable. I was very anxious about the visit but he made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Birmingham Gastroenterology.
I’m tempted to make a joke about having the #@%! scared out of me, but the truth is that it was a totally professional experience. The doctor and staff went out of their way to make sure that I didn’t have any unanswered questions or …
The entire process is well done: confirming the appointment, a safe check-in, fantastic nurses and anesthesiologists, and Dr. Shaver is absolutely the best. Everybody is attentive and caring.
Reception area ladies were friendly and courteous. Wait time was average 15-20 min. Nurse who took my vitals was friendly and my follow up appt from my colonoscopy about 6 months ago went well. Dr. Agarwal was thorough and personable, …
I had an appointment with Dr Shellcross. He has called me twice since my appointment. Not his nurse, not the office manager, but him. We are still monitoring my problem, but I feel confident that I am good hands!
It was my first visit and I had to complete a lengthy form on a tablet. Then I waited in the room for the doctor to come in and after 45 minutes was told that my information was dropped into the wrong patience folder and they could not …
I’m very pleased with my entire visit to the office and then for the tests I had. All the staff is very courteous and helpful. Dr. Shaver and his nurse practitioner listened to the reasons I was there and I feel like I received the best of …
Everyone was very friendly and professional. They wanted to make sure you understood what they were doing and why. They provided detailed information and advice for after care and they stay in touch/follow up with you for care. Outstanding service
I was not expecting a both professional and quite friendly appointment. All involved were very professional and friendly. I had an excellent appointment to receive a not so likable procedure.
I wish I could give it 0 stars.. doctors are extremely insensitive of your feelings. It’s impossible to get anyone with a friendly, positive attitude. Candice always has an attitude when asked to do anything and doesn’t return any calls. I …
I’ve been using this practice for years now but recently changed providers. I really can’t say enough good things about Dr Parikh. He is kind, personable, answers questions readily and I believe he is genuinely concerned for his patients …
Colonoscopy – Very courteous efficient staff from registration to and through procedure. Side note: Still not a fan of the prep; however, it is vastly improved since my first procedure many years ago.
I had a wonderful experience with Birmingham Gastro at Coosa Valley Medical Center in Sylacauga. I was greeted by each employee with smiles and caring reassurance from everyone. From the registration, to the Amazing nurses, to the …
I love Dr. Shaver and his staff at Birmingham Gastroenterology! My father and I see him and it’s worth the trip from Tuscaloosa knowing you are getting the best care there is.
High anxiety over the procedure put at ease from the time we walked in. Friendly, courteous, patient nursing staff, anesthesiologist and Dr. Mclean listened with understanding to my concerns over another recent surgery (hip) and did not proceed until my questions were answered.
Very knowledgeable and patient listening to my issues and concerns.
I came to Birmingham Gastroenterology Dr Dickenson for a second opinion after a diagnose an planed surgery. He turned me around with aggressive treatment. And Thanks to Dr Shaver now after 2 year clean I feel fine I would and have recommended them. Thanks again
Would never see Dr. Miller again, horrible bedside manner and very uncaring about my case. Felt totally rejected after he only spent several moments with me. When I read the notes of my 2 visits on the patient portal, I definitely knew …
Birmingham Gastro should definitely be your choice in gastro specialists. Dr Dasher did the last colonoscopy and I would recommend him and his team. I had it done at St Vincents 119 and from Check in to leaving was under 2.5 to 3 hours.
Nurses were super nice and doctor’s answer all my questions, very smooth interaction. Would definite recommend them to anybody.
For a colonoscopy scan, the experience was as good as it could be. Everyone was great and the staff at St. Vincent’s 119 where the procedure took place were wonderful. The only hiccup was the prep prescription and prep instructions were not the same, but that got corrected.
Dr Cochran was wonderful. You do not always find a Dr that will listen and do everything he can to find the issue. I would highly recommend them. Everyone was nice and professional.
This was the second time to visit Birmingham Surgery Center In Homewood and seeing Doctor Shallcross. All my questions were answered and everything to do with Covid19 precautions was in place. Because common procedure they had everything …
Dr Phillips and his team are great!
I see Dr Charles Dasher and he is FANTASTIC. He is so understanding and actually listens to the issues I’m having. I haven’t seen any of the other doctors in this office but even calling to ask a question or to schedule a visit is always so easy and so pleasant.
I am 46 years old. The last time I required sedation for a procedure was my wisdom teeth removed in 1990. That was so hard on me, made me so sick, I wouldn’t do anything requiring sedation again. Well, I needed a colonoscopy and was set on …
I was Real please with B’HAM GASTRO, Location it’s Located. Everyone was so nice, polite! Dr.David Landy, hiis Nurse was very polite. What I liked about Dr David Landy he’s Seems like a Carring Dr. If you have a problem he wants to find out exactly what’s going on.
I just cannot say enough good things about these people. If you’ve got to get a colonoscopy, this is certainly a great place to go get it! 🙂. Dr. Peter Miller is wonderful. He has done two for me now and they just could not have gone any …
Everyone was very professional and courteous. I loved the nurse practitioner and the doctor. They both made me feel so much better about my condition.
I liked the Dr. but the billing is awful. I received a bill for a routine colonoscopy in November. Called insurance and then called billing and asked them to resubmit as a routine colonoscopy so insurance would pay. They said they would …
i went to this facility for a colonoscopy, I was very well taken care of from the front desk when I first went in until I was escorted to my car after the procedure. The rooms were clean and there seemed to be enough staff to take care …
I was very pleased with the ease of registration. Most of the paperwork was done prior to the visit shortening the wait time. The nurse and doctor was very attentive as well as the clinical staff. The results of my visit is on an app for future reference.
Everyone was professional and made me comfortable throughout the procedure.

The doctors are great and the actual experience was 5 star. But you can’t talk to anyone in person. I never heard from my biopsy so I have called and called. I just get sent to a voicemail that says they will return my call in 24 hours. A …
Top of my list! Waiting time short…staff so pleasant….Dr A is so good…. Takes alot of time with you….he is answered all question and keeps up with my medical history…great Dr!
I did not feel like I was being listened to and there wasn’t any attempt to help me get relief for the pain I was in the entire time I was waiting for a diagnosis. Even after spending over $1000 trying to figure out what was wrong all they …
The facility was very clean. All of the staff was super friendly and made me feel at ease and comfortable. My overall experience was pleasant.
Birmingham Gastro and Dr. Miller are wonderful. Our teenager needed to be seen for a reflux issue. We tried to get in at Children’s and there timeline for an appointment and doctors who accept our insurance left much to be desired. I called …
I was taken care of by the sweetest people,dr Dasher checked on me when I first got back and again before I was put to sleep. The anesthesiologist did the same. The nurses were great. Thanks all of you for taking such great care of me.
HIPPA is not a huge deal here, you can hear the doctors talking about you with the front desk staff right outside your door. What a treat! Also expect long wait times, for the doctor to spend 5 whole minutes with you. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t really care about you, and you want to feel like just a number look no more!
I love Dr. Shellcross, he is the best. I have been a patient of his for several years. He is so kind and caring, he does hurry me and listens to my concerns. …
Dr. Agarwal is great! I called and expressed a concern on a Friday morning and he worked me in on a Monday morning as a first patient. The staff at Grandview Hosp was wonderful, kind and very experienced. I recommend this group to anyone.
Have been pleased over the years I have come here. Even though we moved away from Birmingham, we still returned for my latest colonoscopy which was performed safely with many staff members attending.
My husband needed to see a doctor,so I called and spoke to someone about the problem he was having, ( a hernia ) and asked what doctor we should make an appointment with to get this taken care of, and I was given an appointment to see …
In and out in no time. Dr. Shallcross was wonderful as always.
Everything from making the appointment, receiving instructions, the front desk, my nurse (Serena), my doctor, was flawless. She didn’t even hurt me when she stuck me for the iv. I highly recommend Dr. McLean.
Very efficient offices with state-of-the-art patient history tablets. The wait was very short and the staff very friendly. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Dr. Shallcross was excellent. He was able to solve a long-standing problem I have been having. Highly recommend this practice.
The procedure occurred as planned. The staff did a nice job with ensuring I was comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend them to all my family and friends. Thanks Birmingham Gastroenterology for all your professionalism.
They were respectful of appointment times . The nurses were super attentive and the doctor was efficient and tactful in all aspects.
Dr Agarwal is great, he listens and is very thorough. His nurse practitioner is great, having seen her for the first time because he was heavily booked. Called with additional concerns and it took about 24 hrs for return call but addressed …
After providing insurance information to front desk at St Vincent’s 119, I only had to wait about 15 minutes before the nurse took me back for the colonoscopy procedure. She wore mask. She asked me more questions and had me sign some …

The staff was thorough, introduced themselves. Since my first in 10 years but done in a different state, I was nervous, but the staff was very reassuring. Thank you all for your patience.
Terrible first experience. I was placed in an exam room very quickly but waited in the room for three hours and saw no one. I asked a nurse at the two hour mark to check to see how much longer it would be. She basically told me to go …
The whole procedure was very well handled by the nurses and the doctor. I was pleasantly surprised at the professionalism and personal attention toward my care. The whole team was excellent.
I was very happy with the out patient center, my son has special needs and everyone went out of their way to accommodate his needs. The lady sitting taking temps was very rude about him wearing a mask, he will not keep one on. Everyone else …
The visit was very fast in a timely manner. I was pleased with results the fact I didn’t leave or have any pain from the procedure once I left or the next day. Highly addictive Grandview for my ongoing hospital visits.
The staff at St. Vincent’s 119 was friendly. The office was clean and comfortable. Everyone was so nice and Dr. Philips answered and addressed all my concerns. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My initial visit to the Homewood office was just as pleasant.
I was treated like an individual not just a number. Doctor spent ample time talking with me. He answered all my questions. The procedure I had was made easier by the courteous attitude of the technician. Bottom line, I was put at ease and would recommend the practice.
I have been seeing dr. Shaver for sometime now. He is very knowledgeable, has a great personality and will spend time talking to you and a answering question. His staff in very friendly and never had problems with billing.

Everyone was super friendly and Dr. Dasher is amazing. He is very thorough, and has great bedside manners. He takes the time to listen and answer/explain any and all questions and keeps you updated along the way.
I found the staff responsive and helpful. Dr Kakati was nice. Maybe it shouldn’t be a big deal, but it is: BCBS was billed correctly the first time and I did not have to follow up at all.
I was extremely pleased with my experience with Birmingham Gastroenterology. Dr. Bluhm was very kind and explained things to me. The nurses were excellent and so kind and encouraging. The staff in the office and the lady in the garage (due to Covid) were friendly and kind.
The wait time was minimal, and the office/lab/pharmacy procedures were very efficient. Dr. Phillips was very attentive to my concerns and decided on a plan to determine my issue. The patient portal is also kept updated and is very detailed …
My husband used this office for his colonoscopy and I was so impressed with how well everything was ran that I switched over when I needed the same service again .Even with all the complications that come with CoVid they still provide …
Re: Dr. P. David Miller:
I went to Birmingham Gastro because I was told they are a med. research fac. & would be able to help me with my undiagnosed health issues. While in Covid …
They were absolute great . I was so scared I was going to cancel .when a nurse named Barbara called to register me She had a calming voice and very sincere. I kept my appointment so glad I did . Everyone was so nice . I highly recommend Dr.Shver.

I could not be more pleased with the care I received at Birmingham Gastroentorology. Dr. Cochran was very easy to talk to. It is great to have a doctor who listens, and talks to me like a person-not a file number. I would definitely recommend him/practice to my family and friends.
Signed in no waiting. Quick, prompt, and courteous service.
The process and procedures were efficient, thorough, and well managed. I was informed days ahead of what I should do and expect of others. Each person did their part to ensure my comfort and the success of my procedure. There is a need for …

The staff was very nice to my dad. I appreciate the staff.
Horrible experience. It took three people to get my IV in. Doctor McLean made me feel like just a number or something to do. I didn’t feel like my health mattered. He is clearly at work for a paycheck and not because he genuinely cares for …
The technician that was to do my ultrasound, was behind due to equipment problems however, she was such a delightfully that the wait didn’t bother me. Jennifer was so professional she put me right at ease. Thank you for the experience.
Dr. Phillips and his staff are wonderful. They got me an appointment very quickly. He was professional and courteous, and listened to my concerns. It was only a couple days later that I had my procedure, which reduced my anxiety considerably.
Everything was excellent until I actually saw doctor. He was the most unconcerned doctor I have ever seen before his questions were juvenile in nature and when I explained my symptoms and problems I was having it was like he wished I would …

The staff and the Dr were all so nice . Had a great experience.
I have never been so disappointed in a Medical Facility in my life. First of all, I had a 1:00 appointment and was put into a room to sit for the next 2 hours. When the physician did come in, he asked why was it that I was seen in April? …
Dr. Charles Dasher and his team were amazing! This was my first colonoscopy and I was a little nervous, but they were so kind and helpful. They took the time to answer my questions and made me feel very comfortable going into the procedure. I’m thankful my results were good, but if they hadn’t been, I am confident I’d be in good hands.
The nurses and doctors were polite and friendly and quickly put me at ease. My procedure was performed on time. The post procedure nurse was very helpful and I left feeling good about the procedure’s outcome, the doctors and the nursing staff. Would definitely recommend and use again.

The staff were ready for me as soon as I checked in. The were professional and very efficient. My doctor came in shortly after they had my vitals completed. I was very pleased
with my visit.
I would never recommend even my worst enemy to go through the torture of dealing with Birmingham Gastro. I could go on and on about the level of incompetency and the lack of empathy and compassion which is part of the mission of BGA. I had …
This was the worst GI appointment I’ve ever been to. Dr. Parikh didn’t listen to me at all and prescribed me things that I had already explained never worked in the past while trying to get me to redo multiple GI tests that never worked …

Great job and great staff from the front desk to recovery room. Hope the same folks are there in five years!
Amazing experience! They took time and explained my condition very well along with options and methods to fix the condition. They were not in a hurry to get to the next patient. Great place!!
I was extremely nervous, this was my first colonoscopy. But, everyone was professional, knowledgeable and friendly from the time I walked through the doors until I was released. Great place. Dr Dasher has a great team working with him.
Excellent patient doctor rapport! Dr. Phillips listened carefully and explained everything clearly!!
This is a very good caring doctor, He really listens to his patients and give his feedback on what could be going on with your insides. He helps you understand a lot of things about your stomach and other organs so you can eat and live comfortably. The staff are good people too.
Am amazing experience. The doctor and staff were superb!! No complaints whatsoever!
Dr McLean is the best! He spends time to understand your issues and always has a great solution
Dr. Michael Phillips was excellent. Friendly, professional, efficient, kind. He communicated very clearly before and after the procedure. He and the whole team at St. Vincent’s made my first colonoscopy screening feel safe and easy. No need to put it off like I did! Highly recommend and appreciate Dr. Phillips.
Very timely care given by a very compassionate staff.
I’m very satisfied with the quality of services that I have experienced at Dr Parikh office. I would recommend them to family and friends.
I’ve never had such an issue out of a doctors office before, I’ve been calling almost daily for over a week now because my symptoms are back/worse and the doc warned me to reach out if that was the case. On the 3rd day the receptionist …
Friendly office staff. Dr. Shaver is the best.
Everyone was friendly & helpful, explaining everything, answering questions. Only took once to put IV in which is really good, Dr. Dasher came in & talked to me before procedure & afterwards plus spoke to my husband. Procedure to me was …
They got me into my appointment early and I really appreciated not having to sit in a waiting room, but once in my own appointment I quickly realized it’s mostly because Dr Miller took no time with his patients at all. Completely sped …
Dr MILLER was a good doctor and kind. Listened to my concerns at my initial visit. I’d been exceedingly sick after a surgery for three weeks and been unable to eat at all, had massive stomach pain and other issues that were not only painful …
Top of the line care. The best nurses, the cleanest place I have ever been in and the best technicians and specialist I’ve be ever had. All treated me like I was family to them.

Pleasant environment. Dr. Greene performed colonoscopy. I never learned what is wrong with me. No referral or script. I am still ill. Seeking allergist through my gp.
Has to be the worst office staff in the history of Medical Offices. My wife has no gripes with her Doctor, but the staff leaves much to be desired. My wife called in about a problem, the message was not passed on the first attempt. No …
Entire staff was knowledgeable and very professional. Thank you for all that you do.
My experience was great! Everyone was professional and took wonderful care of me. CVMC and Birmingham Gastro are both superior!
Everyone was very professional, informative, and KIND; made the experience more tolerable.
Had a procedure done and have been in pain ever since. It’s like they don’t care if you suffer. Took them 4 days to call me back. Been a patient there for three years. No I am not looking for dope.
I wish I could give less stars. August 2021 I was referred to this doctors office while experiencing extreme abdominal pain for about 24 hours. I had numerous labs/test/liver ultrasound and so many other expensive blood work done only to be …
Dr. Vesta explained things to me in a way no one else had bothered to do. It was very helpful.
The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The procedure was quick, and my mom (who went with me) was kept in the loop while in the waiting area. NOBODY likes a colonoscopy, but if you’ve gotta have one Birmingham Gastroenterology is the way to go. Thank you Dr. Miller and staff!!

Staff and nurses are amazing. Super friendly and take care of you like you are family. Really fast too. I was nervous and they made me feel comfortable. If at all possible this is where I will be going for anymore procedures in the near future. Thanks guys! Y’all are the best!
Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. I received my prescription for my prep and the co-pay was over $70, so I called and requested the golyte prep which had a zero copay.

Completely satisfied. Dr. Shallcross was professional, friendly, and accommodating. Answered all my questions and recommended a procedure to rule out symptoms of cancer because of family history.

No one knows how to answer or speak on a phone properly…
They all use speaker phone and can’t hear… …
I visited the surgery center for a colonoscopy and I’ve never on my 50 years been treated so well!! The nurses are the most caring and loving people!! You will not regret your decision to put your health needs in their trust!

I am always pleased with the amount of time each Provider spends in my room during my appointments. They are very compassionate, understanding, and always willing to listen to me about my concerns and issues.
The nurses were amazing! And if you have a deductible make sure you have the money to pay your copay bc I wasn’t expecting it and you have to pay some before you go back for your procedure! Other than the copay part my experience was really good!
Was able to get an appointment with Dr Shaver quickly. Waited only a few minutes once I arrived for the appointment. Met with the NP initially and then Dr Shaver spoke with me in depth about my options; I never felt that I was being …

However, no problems at all. Everyone was nice and efficient. Dr. Cochran was …
My first visit with Dr. David Miller was pleasant. He’s straight forward and to the point. He solved my problem in no time. I like his credentials and highly recommend him. His staff got me in quickly and extremely nice in every way.
I had a wonderful (well as wonderful as can be) experience today with Dr. Steele. I’ve never had a doctor that listened to my concerns, evaluated me, and then made a treatment plan. Bonus points that I was in and out in 45 minutes. That …
