They were great at preparing and explaining the process. I felt like I had excellent care on the day of the procedure and good follow up afterwards.
Dr. Bowman was my doctor of record though I never saw or spoke to him. Additionally because of their “system” and portal, my messages were viewed or heard by different individuals and they obviously did not communicate. The person answering …
Been going here for 14 years.
This place sucks. Still having stomach issues after 6 months
I have been coming here for years and have had the best of service!
Love this group and everything they do to fight colon cancer!
Great customer service and the doctor genuinely cares for you.
Great doctors, great staff, very professional and caring. I would highly recommend them.
Yes, they know about ALL things that are gastro! Great staff!
Excellent service and care every time. Wonderful for long term care of chronic conditions.
I’ve been seeing dr Griffin for year’s and he’s the most caring and nicest dr they are so nice there
My bill was increased by $1000, after I was told it was paid in full, due to some kind of “complication”
Staff has always been friendly and helpful. I see Dr. Petersen here and also get remicade infusions.
It is near impossible to schedule appointments!! Noone ever answers the phone!!! Very rude employees at the phones!!
dissatisfied with billing practices, paid all up front then received a bill 6 months later with no explanation, will not return there
Dr roat is a very caring doctor the best i could ask for. He did a thorough job with my colonoscopy!!!
Really noy impressed how dr erlick or whatever his name is hes to mich in a rush and im just iffy about it the nurses are great and stay on top of this but i wudnt recommend that dr js
I had a appointment 5 time and they canceled on me every time and changing doctors every time.
Don’t try calling for an appointment, they do not answer. You have to leave a message and they will only call you back when it is convenient for them. NO THANKS!!!
Hi Alexandra Koehler
I just want to share with you, thank you, for talkings good care, of me, went I was in the hospital, …
Terrible customer service. Cannot call to reach anyone anytime of the day. Phone rang at least 75 times during business hours and no one ever picked up. Happens all the time. Would not recommend this place at all.
More worried about money instead of patient….very sad…trying to force people to pay before procedure……$644 due before they would do the procedure! And said an additional amount will be charged for twilight sleep. I am glad we don’t treat our clients this way! If I would have know, we would go to someone else.
There are not enough positive words to describe this place and in particular Dr. Wells. He truly cares about his patients. Highly recommend him and his staff!
Go somewhere else. They don’t return calls and keep putting people off and not believing them, making excuses. My first review has been deleted for some reason so this one is short and sweet. I will keep reposting how horrible this place is if they keep deleting it.
The doctors are really great and very helpful but the receptionist in office are very disrespectful and have bad communication with their patients also giving me attitude when I told her I was here for my appointment and told me I was too …
Next to impossible to make an appointment. Very rude staff at desk. Do not explain that they don’t do appointments. Good Dr’s bad office staff.
Billing practices at this office are EXTREMELY shady. I had them refund my money because they did not provide the services I paid for in a timely manor. This caused me to miss several hours of work two days in a row. They agreed that is …
I was able to get in pretty quick compared to omaha, we didnt mind driving an hour outta the way. Dr. Newton made me feel assured and relieved of pain I am experiencing. Himself and staff are mature and respectful. Was worth the drive!
I’ve been going to this office for 3 years and am still have stomach pain. Was told by Dr.Lawton to go on a low Fodmap diet and when I asked for information about the diet the PA said they didn’t actually know anything about it. There only …
They told me I was having a procedure done. I showed up and they told me I wasnt having it and the procedure was never scheduled. The provider I saw was not very friendly and she made me feel uncomfortable. After spending 10 minutes talking …
Started here 4 years ago. Doctor didn’t care about me, quit on me in searching for what was wrong. Switched to another doctor in the practice since they virtually have a monopoly in the Lincoln market. That doctor gave up, as well. Both …
I saw a Dr. Thomas and I thought he was very good and very nice as well! He did 2 different scopes on me at Bryan West, and I was treated very well there too! With respect and kindness! As well as I should be, but unfortunately some Dr.’s …
Fantastic staff! Dr. Thomas has a wonderful bedside manner and addressed my issues in a timely manner. I appreciated the high level of care/compassion both he and his nurse displayed upon my initial visit.
Incredibly dissatisfied. I made an appointment to see Dr. Hrnicek. When I arrived for my appointment, I didn’t see Dr. Hrnicek, I saw his PA who showed a complete lack of empathy for what I was going through. Also, I made it clear I wanted …
I had a biopsy done on a duct in my pancreas. A complication occurred causing me to get pancreatitis due to swelling in the duct. It’s not common, and shouldn’t have happened as the reason for the biopsy was my pancreas looked “inflamed”. …
I need to get another opinion about by “tumor” in my colon but I do not want to see Dr. Petersen again. I am looking for a Dr. who is willing to consider a holistic approach to care. Find the cause and not treat the symptom. I do have …
This place is horrible especially Bowman. He has very poor communication with his patients and his nurses do not return phone calls. This place was a big waste of time and money. Horrible place and they should be ashamed. No answers or no …
When I was his patient at Bryan, Dr. William Lawton violated 3 medical ethics tenets: abandonment, breach of patient/doctor privilege and do no harm. Abandonment halfway through my hospital stay is a more serious violation than most …
Do not use this business if at all possible. FIrst the communication with me before my colonoscopy centered more around whether I had the capability to pay the insurance deductible than on the care I would be given. On arrival at the …
Great Doctors and nurses. Only problem was with billing. Nov 7th I walked into the front desk to pay in full the rest of what I owed to both places. A few weeks later I am sent another bill from Gastro for $15 plus 16% interest. Now why …
Great doctors and other care providers. But was VERY rude over the phone about a balance I didn’t even know existed. Treated me as if I was trying to run from the bill? A little more tact and decency from whoever called would be nice. (BTW, I paid the measly bill over the phone immediately upon finding out about it)
Terrible to work with. They seem to take advantage of the fact that they are the only show in town for GI issues. Their office workers are very rude. Just setting up an appointment required hours on the phone and supplying the same …
They have never been anything but kind, courteous, and professional when I’ve to have a procedure done.
Remember the COVID-19? People, it was in all the papers and on the news. That …
Upon arriving there were 2 desk people. Not friendly but not rude. Just very ‘blah’. No welcome or smiling at all. They were just there to do their job. After being called into the room by the nurse she seemed decent. Once we met the …
Amazing! 2 Thumbs up. I and my family all go there. The doctors are amazing! The nurses are doubly amazing! Ask for Tom ,best RN ever. Good job to everyone from the office and billing and nurses. Dr. Petersen and Dr. Griffin have both worked on me over the years. Love them both!
I have been calling for 4.5 hours to schedule an appointment. When I called the main number they said they could only offer a voice mail for scheduling. I let them know that I’d have to look elsewhere then so I could get an appointment and …
I’ve been going here for two years. I do not understand the negative reviews. Dr.Wells is a great guy and extremely helpful. Today I was called letting me know some appointments cancelled and that I could come in early. I think that they …
Poor response to my request for access to the patient portal to access my own personal information. So far two phone calls requesting an access PIN and the only offer they have is “We sent it.” The message did not go to SPAM as I have the …
Customer Service is Terrible! I saw Dr. Petersen several years ago for diagnosis and treatment GERD. I was very happy with him and his treatment plan. It continues to be very helpful. So from my previous experience with Dr. Petersen, 5 …
I have been treating with this office for more than fifteen years. They are always professional, friendly and provide excellent medical care. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. My wife is also a patient with this office and she has had nothing but great experiences at Gastroenterology Specialties.
Excellent! Dr. Lawton is very patient, kind and gave us all the time we needed for questions. He explained the results and treatment plan in great detail and made sure we understood. The nursing staff is fantastic as well. They are very …
I never write reviews, but I thought I’d caution people. Dr. Newton is a very caring doctor who helped me address my needs and actually listened and wants to get me back on track to feeling better. For him, I’d love to give a 5/5. However …
I contacted multiple GI specialists in Lincoln, none of which returned my calls. Gastroenterology Specialists not only returned my call, but worked to get me in with Dr. Rife ASAP. From that first appointment and through consequent …
In reading these reviews and constantly seeing job opening on Indeed, why don’t you hire someone with outstanding customer relations. Both on the phone as well as in person. You can’t determine a new interview for employment in five …
Do not waste your time and money on this clinic. The worst experience I have gone through for scheduling a doctor appointment: When I called them for an appointment, I was told the doctor/specialist recommended by my family doctor does not …
I have been trying to schedule an appointment for a month! No one answers the phone. You are left waiting for at least 20 minutes before the call is canceled. I have left messages on other lines, but no one calls me back. So, I have …
This place doesn’t have it’s patient care or services set up right. Their chat doesn’t work on their website, no one manning it. Their schedulers never answer the phone in less than 9 minutes, and only want you to leave a message, which …
They get 3 stars only because the office staff and nurses are awesome. I was experiencing terrible pain during my colonoscopy, told the doc and he replies, “you’re alright, just settle down”. I WASN’T ALRIGHT! I have had this procedure before and had zero pain. I will NEVER go back to this place.
These people are very unprofessional. Had a terrible experience with the doctor then 3 weeks goes by. I get a bill for the full amount even though I paid them before procedure. Turns out they misplaced the funds into a different account. …
Update 2/18/2021: No one had contacted my mother after sending her information via email so she called them once again. Luckily the issue had been discussed in the office and the lady who answered the phone (not the same one from before who …
The pa I saw was kind and curtious, but trying to get an appointment is impossible. I received a call to schedule an appt 3 weeks ago; it went to voice-mail. In the voicemail I was instructed to use option 3 which I did. A human answered …
An update regarding scheduling at this office. I finally gave up on GS a few months ago trying to get a Colonoscopy scheduled. I had gone through all the grief others had repeatedly encountered, with call after call, forever hold times, …
The costumer service is horrible, they won’t answer your phone calls, they will not send your prescription to the pharmacy and then they don’t let you know if they send it or not…..
Dr. Lawton and staff were amazing. Procedure was on time, IV insertion precise and very little pain, everyone was personable, and made the entire process go very smoothly.
Go somewhere else!
I will be careful not to provide very specific information. …
I really had a great experience from the time I picked up my prep to getting into the car to go home after the procedure. It was so organized and moved very timely. Everyone was very professional and kind. Special shout out to my nurse …
Beyond dissapointed and dissatisfied with their customer service. They need to train their employees desparately and immediately about customer service mannerism, how to talk and treat patients in person and over the phone. These employees …
Outrageous ! 3 months to get a Colonoscopy ? I had Dr A do my Edno on 2020. When I chose Not to do the Colon when I did my Endo, He said, “You chose not to have a Colonoscopy”. At my consult in 2020, He stated before leaving the room, not …
I met with Dr. Roth and he was incredible. It was the best physician/patient consultation I’ve ever had. He was kind, he listened, and he explained everything in great detail. He was unhurried. I was impressed.
The staff and Dr’s are amazing!! Dr. Newton saved my life. I don’t know if I would be able to post this review if Dr. Newton hadn’t taken care of me. I wish there more stars 5 doesn’t even measure up to the care I received.
Based on these reviews and asking basic questions prior to my appointment I don’t believe my medical history will be properly researched, or factored into any potential diagnosis or non diagnosis of my chronic condition should I attend this …
