  167. Dr. Kim listens. That’s very important to me. Some doctors seem like they’re in so much of hurry to get to the next patient that they really don’t have time to listen to you. That was not my experience at GI Specialists. Also, after the …

  168. Staff/nurses were very pleasant and helpful. This was my first time seeing Dr. Asfandiyar. He was mildly pleasant but not particularly warm or friendly. He was well-spoken but only “so so” at explaining things. I found him to be a bit …

    Would definitely recommend this practice and Dr Ballard.

  208. I regret to say such things about anyone but I feel it’s necessary that no-one else goes through what I have. After going through an infection with Diverticulitis and a swollen gallbladder, I scheduled a colonoscopy with Dr. Harkins of GI …

  209. Firstly, they send you a reminder for an appointment with the wrong location then when the patient shows up the doctor is absent. Secondly, the receptionist tells you that they can’t do anything about it. Thirdly, they don’t email you the …

  210. RUN, do not walk. RUN from this place. I saw Dr Subodh Lal for Gastro issues. I requested an EGD and colonoscopy. Dr Lal performed my procedures 20 days ago, and even now the patient portal has not updated to reflect my diagnosis. He …

  214. All staff, nurses and especially my physician are terrific. They are courteous and professional, you will feel as though you are part of a family instead of a medical facility.

  215. Quite possibly the rudest person I have ever dealt with on an intake call. She told me she was doing me a favor by telling me which Dr’s would be covered under my insurance. M. was quite unpleasant. Life is too short to be treated that way. Hopefully not a reflection on the practice.

  216. I saw Dr. George and he was very professional and helped me figure out how to heal my stomach ulcer. He also went out of his way to help me save some money with my medicine I need to take. The front desk staff was nice. I come back to this …
