  21. I had an excellent visit with Dr. Kulkarni via Telemed. Because the weather was not conducive for me getting to his office to see him, he graciously agreed to see me the same day with Telemed. Kudos to Dr. Kulkarni and all of the office staff that pulled this off for me.

  28. I had my 1st visit in quite some time and I can assure you it was thorough. Not once was I spoken over or ignored. If I asked Dr. Beasley a question, he answered without underexplaining or sarcasm. There were no gaps in conversation on either end. I’m looking forward to working with him through these issues that caused this visit.

  29. Absolutely horrible experience. Saw Dr.Kulkarni and I’ve never felt so unheard in my life. He had in his mind what he thought was wrong with me and he wasn’t going to listen to anything different. He made me feel dumb and like my health wasn’t important. I will not be back.

  44. Can I give an establishment zero stars? This practice is the most unprofessional establishment known. Dr.Owens is vastly unintelligent, and is unable to handle her emotions. Her staff follows suit. The Medical Administrator doesn’t know how …

  45. Took time to listen to my concerns. Not a lot of “wait” time. Employees were very nice and eager to explain the procedures so that I could understand. Dr. Kukler was very nice which you can’t find much of anymore!

  46. This was my first visit. I had been putting off going to the gastro doctor and was very nervous! As soon as I got there, I knew I made the right decision. Everyone was so kind and had compassion. This is so hard to find now a days. Dr. …

  54. I have been seeing Dr. Owens for more than 15 years. She has helped me through a number of GI health issues with skill, care, patience and knowledge. We moved and I now gladly travel 45 minutes to see her. She’s the only doctor I didn’t replace with a closer one. She is wonderful!

    I went in feeling nervous but they all made me feel comfortable.
    If you need any procedures they are explained in great detail and easy for you to understand.

  92. My Gastroenterologist Dr Baisely is awesome . The only thing is the wait time is ridiculously long. You can’t see him not before an hour or so. No matter what time is your appointment you will have to wait over an hour.

  93. From beginning to end I was treated very kindly. Didn’t have but a 5 minute wait once I arrived. The doc (Schorr) was very open and honest with my situation. His nurse is very thorough and a sweetheart. The kind of Dr. appt you wish you could always have.

  94. Dr Kulkarni is just an amazing Doctor. Very, professional, knowledgeable and ready to answer all questions. No question is foolish to him. I feel very very comfortable when with him. I believe southern gastroenterology has a very great ASSET. Please pay him double if you can🤣👏👏👏👍 …

  106. My visit was perfect. The nurse who put in my IV line was the best ever. 24 hours later you’d never know I’d had an IV – no bruising – nothing! Perfect. My anesthesiologist has to be the best also – I had a beautiful 30 minute sleep, came …

  107. Exceptional service to say the least. I was not looking forward to this visit due to my own fears. Once I arrived at this office in Duluth those fears were erased as every concern was addressed from the receptionist then transferred to the nurse and then to the doctor. The visit was quick and professional!!!

  132. Dr. Beasley is very thorough. This was my first visit with him and the practice. He was very informative and assured me he will do everything to seek out my problem/issue. I still have a battery of tests/scans but I feel confident that we can work together to figure this out!

  138. I have been going to Southern Gastroenterologists for about 15 years. Everyone there is warm, friendly and professional doctors and staff. Little to no waiting which is what I like! You can count on being able to see your same Doctor each time so you can build a great relationship. I wouldn’t go any where else!

  143. Hello at first when i walked in I was a bit leary .. However the receptionist was very polite and professional. I got there early and she said its fine we can see you earlier. …

  144. This is a good office. Clean and well organized. The only drawback is the weight is always long. Sometimes too long. I generally wait in the waiting room for over half an hour and then frequently wait for the doctor for another 25 or 30 minutes. The only thing that saves them is their staff it’s just so warm and friendly.

  145. My first appointment with Southern Gastroenterology Associates went quite well yesterday. I appreciate the simplicity of the online paperwork process and the pleasant and accommodating experience from the front desk, being taken back into …

I had a great experience with southern Gastroenterology the staff was professional and Dr Beasley really made me feel comfortable and seem interested in what I came in for and his solution and recommended advice was very helpful. I would recommend any new patients to choose to visit this office.

  156. I’ve gone to Dr. Rutledge for years and think she’s great! My other doctors share that opinion; when they ask who my Gastro is they always give her high marks. Nobody is really looking forward to a colonoscopy but everyone, when they reach a certain age, needs to start getting them. I highly recommend Dr. Rutledge!

  161. Dr owens was very thorough and personable. The staff were very nice and helpful. While sitting in the waiting room, I was very pleased at how sweet and helpful the receptionist was with people on the phone. Kindness means a lot when going to a doctor that one would really rather avoid. Thank you Southern Gastro.

  167. On 11-8-2022, I finally got a chance to speak to a real person after several attempt calling and vm left. The receptionist who called me was very rude and had a bad attitude. I explained to her how I have been calling over a month or …

    And his staff very nice and accommodating.
    Thank you so much.

  170. I was treated very nicely. The reason I gave it a 4 star was because it was crowded that particular day and it took a long time to be seen. The office visit went fine other than that.

  171. If you’d like to be seen by a doctor who doesn’t care about you as a patient and only wants to perform procedures so they can bill you and your insurance, then you should see Dr. Owens! I’ve never met a doctor with a less pleasant bedside …

  172. The wait time in the lobby is usually pretty long, more than 30 minutes. My latest visit the wait time was an hour. Dr. was “running behind” we were informed. Once in the inner parts it went smoothly.

  173. Dr. Kulkarni has been our doctor for the last 20 years. He is professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable in his field. We feel very comfortable knowing he is there for us anytime we need him.

  178. Overall pleased with most aspects of my visit. Wait time was a bit long after the check-in process. After I was taken back for prep, the number of questions asked about my health history seemed excessive and the area was so busy that it was …

  179. Southern Gastroenterologist was very professional and caring during my procedure. The nursing staff and doctors kept me informed and were efficient in getting me in and out. The administrative staff from scheduling to reminders to follow up was well done. Highly recommend this group!

  180. I have been a patient there for approximately twenty years, and the journey has been nothing short of great. Particularly noteworthy are the expert services rendered by Tangela Walker and Dr Marcelle. Their bedside manners and clinical know how are impeccable and far beyond reproach. Wendi and Jessica both have superlative phone skills…

  181. Our first visit to Southern Gastroenterology went well. The check in was easy, the waiting room comfortable, and the staff was friendly. We both liked Dr. Beasley’s warm demeanor and sound advice. We appreciate your help!

  182. I recently had an out-patient procedure, and everyone from check in until I left were amazing! They were helpful, patient, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable.
