Been years since I’ve starting seeing them, still can’t tell me what’s wrong. Called and left several voicemails about an urgent medical question and no response. Thanks guys! 👎 …
If you go to the PA expect to wait over an hour for her to see you. Also expect to go in more then once to get her to do something. Maybe she is just really overworked but I’m still waiting for her to do something I went in 3 times for.
Seriously do not go here, save your money and go elsewhere. I made an appointment they scheduled me to have a few tests done 2 months ago and hav not heard a thing. And everytime I call I cannot get someone on the phone!
From billing to being seen by a doctor, if you to feel like a boat payment, go here. The doctor doesn’t even perform an examination. He’ll get sued someday.
I have never had better care. Always checking up on me to see how things are going. Love everyone there in the office they are all very genuinely caring about how you are
Watch out for the staff (especially the service up front) I don’t like writing reviews, however, my experience was uniquely horrible. Oh, and make sure you have insurance because that seems to be all they care about. Good thing I didn’t have to pay anymore then I did.
I disagree with the person who commented about Darcy she is on top of getting patients getting taken care of obviously this person was having a bad day and you do realize that the phones get busy right?
Dr. Karnum and his staff are fantastic! Dr. Karnum is thorough, personable, and definitely goes the extra mile to ensure that my questions and concerns are resolved. Highly recommend!
After 1 hour in the waiting room, waiting 2 weeks for blood test results, as well as 2 weeks of waiting for pre authorization on a prescription, and still no test results or pre authorization, i am done with this office. Don’t go here unless you are out of options, which is unlikely.
Disorganization and miscommunication seem to be the themes here. Scans were not attached to chart and reviewed before appointments, procedures such as biopsies were not communicated accurately to the hospital scheduled to perform said …
Highly skilled and expert at figuring out difficult GI problems. Content provider to Up-to-date medical resource. I’m in the medical field and have seen the benefits of his care.
We are so glad we found this office! They always take enough time to solve my issues. It’s so good to have a doctor with such a wide range of knowledge who puts that knowledge into practice. I just can’t say enough enough good things about our experience here!
Went in for a visit this morning and saw multiple staff not wearing masks. Also had multiple people in the lobby with no masks. Seriously? What a joke. Needless to say we didn’t go inside! If they can’t follow county guidelines and take a pandemic seriously then they probably don’t take your health seriously either!
Had to call 5 times to get results from a CT scan! They never returned my calls. Said my scans came back normal but didn’t care to help me further investigate why I am having pains. The scan they ordered me to get was a $4,000 scan (over $500 out of pocket). Same scan I had a few years ago. I won’t return here!
ABSOLUTELY RUDE!!!!! CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINGING NEEDED!!!!!!!!
Nothing like getting a phone call from a company that has the wrong number. To make matters worse, I inform her that I don’t have someone in my office with that name and SHE JUST HANGS UP ON ME.
Anastasia (MA) changed my experience from a 1 star to a 4. I was misquoted the price of a procedure and near tears making phone calls between two facilities trying to secure a rate that would save our family a lot of money. Instead of …
I got a scope with these guys and went back for my results. The Nurse Practicioner Jordan sat me down and said I had celiac. I cried, and spent the next month buying expensive gluten free products and books to educate myself and cope. Then …
Best Doctor ever. I was severely sick for 22 days, lost over 15 pounds. And he was able to figure out what was wrong. In other words, this man saved my life. He gives you his personal number so if you have any problems he is right there and willing to help! 😊 …
A dog and pony show. First the staff trying to sell me, then the doctor, this was in 2011, back when he saw his patients. He told me the the terrible drugs for HCV, Interferon and Ribavirin, were so safe, that he would put his grandmother …
the doctores and Staff are wonderful. they have taken care of my husband really well. I took a star away becouse no one ever answered the phone never!!! not one time have I called and got to talk to someone.
Dr. Uma Karnam is one of the best Dr.’s I have every gone to. He’s extremely knowledge and easy to talk to. I have so much respect and confidence in him. His staff are wonderful. They are helpful and all are very pleasant. Thank you Dr Karnam for all you do for me.
I would agree that the staff leaves a lot to be desired. That said, after 12 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me, Dr. Karnam was able to diagnose me in just a week or so. Because it’s a rare disease and Dr. K found it, I’m …
My first experience with the front desk staff was horrible. Talked to my primary Dr who sent me here he called up the office manager and she took care of that real quick. I travel from Payson to see Dr. Karnam. He is a great Dr. On my way to see him now. We shall see how the front desk is this time!
If you have an easily diagnosed problem, these are your guys. If you have something harder, go elsewhere. My daughter has had severe gut pain for 2 years and they only ever let us see a PA–we never saw an actual doctor. They did a scope …
Negative -5 stars for this place!!! Please don’t waste your time and money here. I never review anything but I feel so strongly that this place should not be in business that I will give it a horrible review. …
I would avoid at all cost, literally. I was seen for a 30 minute office visit and charged $300. Wasn’t even seen by a doctor, it was a PA. They provided no service other than writing me a prescription for blood work (which was already …
This is the most un organized place I’ve ever been to. They send me to this hospital or that hospital for apts and labs.. every time I go to the hospital they have no record of any lab orders or I dont have an appt. And every time I go in …
Would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go to a real hospital with a Gastro doctor. Staff is not very considerate or kind. I got charged way too much to be told something I already knew, and didn’t even get to meet …
Dr Karnam is one of the best doctors I have ever had, it is very rare that you run into a doctor that will go the extra mile like he will. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because he can get over booked a lot so that wait can be long but its well worth it.
Negative 5 stars! We took our son here on a recommendation, after a scope they advised to have his gall bladder removed. When asked if that doesn’t help, they said then we’ll look at removing other organs. Are you serious? process of …
Our family is eternally grateful to Dr. Karnam. We arrived at Dr. Karnam’s office in dire need of a miracle. Our father was awaiting a kidney transplant but had become so ill and wasn’t able to eat or drink for quite some time and had lost …
Be careful coming here! I paid off all my bills with the exception of $40 and they sent me to collections, but it was for other supposed “past due amounts” that I was sure I paid off but I know that this place is fishy as hell. It seems …
If I can give negative 5 stars I would. The doctor was so so rude, maybe spent 2 minutes in the room he diagnosed my husband and it was wrong….I was told my insurance covered the visit 100% for my husband and then got slammed with a bill …
DONT GO TO THIS CLINIC I had Call to get the results of my blood work weeks after getting it done because no one bothered to call me. I called to ask about the result of my CT Scan and they still haven’t called me back with them. I got the …
Dr. K truly is a Gut Whisperer and Miracle Worker! I went to 5 different G.I.‘a and they 🦉diagnosed me with Ibs. Dr K is the only one who took me seriously. He found a rare a complex disease that everyone else missed and he fast tracked me …
I would like to thank Dr. Smith for his efforts in my three hour ordeal in cleaning out my esophagus. It was a long hard evening ,last Monday, and I thank you for your caring and skill. I appreciate your warning to stay on a strict liquid diet.
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease by my doctor and my wife scheduled me. I read a few not-so-positive reviews and was very much not excited for this appointment. …
Unless you have something easily diagnosable, avoid this office. The office admins are incredibly disorganized and unprofessional. The only person who cared to help me in this office was the PA I saw (he’s the reason they get 2 stars and …
Dr Karnam is amazing. After over 2 years of hearing that nothing is wrong I finally felt listened to and like a doctor cared. I can finally eat again and I am so grateful to have a diagnosis and treatment plan that makes sense. I would definitely recommend this office and Dr Karnam specifically.
Updated 8-30-19: Doctors are still amazing and Emily still is my go to woman! I can tell her the things she needs to know and not feel like a weirdo. However, to get an MA to call me back after a message is beyond hard. And when you call to …
i have had a terrible experience with this office. I went in and scheduled an appointment to talk with a Dr. about stomach issues i have been having. I was greeted and sent to a room. The NP came in and took my vitals and the preliminary …
This place needs serious help with communication. I went in for a liver scan, they told me someone would call on Wednesday wth the results. On Friday I called trying to get the results but ended up in voicemail. The next week i get a …
From the initial attempts to schedule my procedure to the actual appointment itself, I received nothing but professionalism and kindness from Dr. Karnam’s staff. Not only was I given thorough instructions prior to my appointment over the …
These guys are the reason health care is so expensive. I left work to get there 15 mins early so I could fill out their paperwork. I was then roomed 15 mins late. I waited another 40 mins to see a provider which by then I had to get back …
This doctor will charge you $200 just for sitting in a room and having a 5 minute chat. Then he will say you need to get either a colonoscopy or an endoscopy, or both. There are MUCH CHEAPER alternatives such as a blood stool test which you …
If you’re considering going here because of the five-star reviews you see, think again. My primary physician wanted to schedul me with a specific doctor there, but they had me with someone else. The doctor they scheduled me with put me on …
I have had overall a great experience with them. I’ve seen both Dr. Smith and Dr. Karnum and all of the nurse practioners. It is a little difficult to communicate outside of appointments because the MA don’t always call back however the …
I believe that Phil Bowman, NP and Uma Karnam, MD (the two practitioners I saw) are trying to help as many people as possible. But they (along with many, many other doctors) have relied too much on the pharmaceutical industry to “heal” …
While all the Drs In this facility are great, other staff members are not. If they say they sent out a referral you better be calling that office every single day until you hear from the referred dr because they don’t send our referrals or …
And I quote: “If there’s nothing to test, there’s nothing to treat.” So choking on a daily basis is nothing because she doesn’t know what could cause it, so clearly nothing is causing it. Moron. …
Dr. Karnam is a brilliant physician, not only in his specialized field of expertise, but in interrelating all fields of patient wellness, as nothing happens in isolation in the human body. He is a very quick read, with an immense body of …
If I could give zero stars, I would. Not only did they preform an unnecessary endoscopy on me (that could have been prevented if they had just done an allergy test first), they also lost my allergy report and labs. There is zero …
Dr. Karnam is wonderful. He’s very kind and intelligent and though his accent is strong, I could understand him just fine. BUT Jordan was the person I met with the first few times and he was…not very good. He never failed to tangent into …
My husband and I went to the emergency room and was told we needed to have him get an emergency colonoscopy. We were told Dr Karnam was the best. So we booked the colonoscopy/endoscopy after the procedure my husband was in so much pain he …
My partner was diagnosed with Celiac disease by Dr. Karnam and spent a year trying to identify treatment options for relief. He continually went to the Gut Whisperer for treatment options. The office recommended a biologic — which took …
Before I saw Dr Karnan , I went to many other Doctors and no one could figured out what was my digestive problem? Until I found DOCTOR KARNAN he’s very acknowledge and listened to all my symptoms and he knew from the moment i started and by …
Dr. Karnam is great and was the first doctor to find the source of my husbands ongoing pain after seeing many doctors for this issue! He is very thorough. However we saw APRN Donna Thompson in this office once and she seemed like she …
Been a patient of Dr Karnam’s for over 10 years. Through thick and thin with my condition, he’s been there to make sure I’m doing well. Knowledgeable and personable, two traits you always want with a Doctor. The PA staff as well has always …
I have been having digestive issues for a few years now and they’ve been getting worse. I went in and spoke with a practitioner who suggested I have an upper and lower scope done. After that operation it took forever to schedule a follow up …
I’ve set appointment with Dr. Umapassana in very short time, which was good but probable had a reason for it.
In the doctor office at the register they asked me to white on the paper my …
My name is Seirgio Hernandez I have ulcerative colitis since age 18 I’m 36 now and have had my share of gastroenterologist with the extensive traveling (living in Alaska, Utah and Michigan). I met Dr Uma Karnum 10 years ago and will say …
I had a great visit with Dr. Smith. He was very understanding.
I did have issues with getting a scan scheduled and was unhappy it. However, when I spoke with them and vented my frustration they were very accommodating and …
Working with Dr.Karnam and his office staff has been nothing but frustrating. I believe Dr. Karnam has chosen the quantity of patients he treats over the quality of care he provides. My first appointment with him was less than 5 minutes. He …
Dr. Karnam has absolutely been God sent, an angel in disguise. He listens, cares and remembers. I’m truly grateful for his compassion and kindness. Before him, I saw a doctor at IHC Kearns and Riverton. They both failed to do the right …
Dr. Karnam is a knowledgeable and gifted gastroenterologist. He has done more for me than any other doctor has, and he has given me more answers to my health problems than any other doctor has throughout my entire life. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I would give 6 stars if I could.
The doctors seem fine, but the staff is utterly incompetent. My wife has been working to get her condition taken care of. Darcy, one of the staff, refuses to follow-up. …
Doctor Smith diagnosed me with ulcerative colitis earlier this year and he has been pretty good for the most part. He’s gone over the same things in every appointment I’ve had he doesn’t seem like he has notes on previous appointments. Also …
Misdiagnosed me with ulcerative colitis. I took the images from my colonoscopy to two other GI specialists who immediately said “no way, this is obviously Crohn’s disease”, which a follow up colonoscopy confirmed. …
Stop wasting your time with other doctors and RUN to Dr. Karnam. He is the BEST, most caring doctor you will EVER find. In a world full of doctors that only treat you as simply another patient, Dr. Karnam takes time to find the true …
Dr. Karnam saved my life. I was waiting for a kidney transplant and my stomach shut down. I had lost 85 lns and was not going to live much longer. My son found Dr. Karnam and I went to his office and the first time I met him I asked him if …
Worst experience, they sent in an order for me to have a HIDA scan. I had the scan on Friday morning, was in pain all weekend so I was eager to getter my results. I called on Monday, only got voicemail so left a message but never received a …
The doctors are really good, but the office personnel is not. I was waiting over an hour to see a nurse the first time going to the Riverton office. The nurse was not familiar with my condition. Since she was not familiar, she was not only …
20 minutes with a Nurse is billed at $250 at this location. If you are comfortable with this billing rate, this is the place for you. They do not know how to effectively bill insurance and get paid by insurance. This is a procedure …
I was enchanted by the clever name of this office, but I will not be going back! Phillip Bowman, APRN was fine. The office was clean and modern. But trying to communicate with his medical assistant is a joke. It says on her voicemail that …
I was very unimpressed with my experience here. I had been suffering with gut issues for months and while the initial visit was positive (nurse practitioner Johnson did a good job of listening to me and blood tests taken while I was there) …
The moment the doctors office decides to lie about what my insurance will and won’t cover is the moment I’m not going to that doctor again. Had an entire discussion on meds and what treatment I had hoped to recieve. Office insists that my …
Great Dr! He found my problem and fixed it, after years of suffering, no more pain. I trust him, and he listens, which I dont always get from Dr.’s. He has a gentleness and kindness that that is rare. I never wait long his office, …
Dr. Karnam is the best in the sea of many doctors I’ve seen! I’ve been being treated by karnam for 20+ years. I refer him to friends family and strangers. He is very attentive, compassionate, and will go above and beyond to assist you in …
I highly recommend Emily, NP, at this practice. She is gentle, respectful, knowledgeable and skilled. I felt like my concerns were heard, and she was efficient at diagnosing and treating my condition. However, I was unimpressed at the level …
If you are looking for a doctor that truly takes interest in what’s going on with you and finding ways to help you, I highly recommend Dr. Karnam. I have dealt with multiple issues most of my life and some more intense this last year and in …
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
CONSIDER this the McDonalds of “doctors”
1. Rude front desk – girl argued with me on call – asked for an email reminder …
The wait to see the doctor is exceptionally long but he was able to diagnose me correctly after years of me being misdiagnosed, getting the wrong treatment and being sick. When I found them I was so sick my hair was falling out and I was …
Uma is the best!!
Great I would highly recommend
$200 for what? To go pay more money elsewhere and some pamphlets.
So far the staff has been kind and Dr. has been good too.
Horrible service have not done any testing and isn’t planning on it
If you have any digestive problems this is the Dr to see‼️
I have Celiac disease and Dr Karnum and his PAs are so helpful and really knowledgeable.
Dr K has a true passion for what he does and all the office staff and nurses are very nice.
If you have a gut problem don’t go here. They will charge you or your insurance $835.00 for a 10 min visit.
Been years since I’ve starting seeing them, still can’t tell me what’s wrong. Called and left several voicemails about an urgent medical question and no response. Thanks guys! 👎 …
I’ve seen all of the doctors in the office. They are extremely helpful and care about their patients. 10/10 recommend.
Specifically impressed with Shannon the doctors MA she went above and beyond for me, coldn’t be more grateful.
If you go to the PA expect to wait over an hour for her to see you. Also expect to go in more then once to get her to do something. Maybe she is just really overworked but I’m still waiting for her to do something I went in 3 times for.
If you want to wait weeks for your results and have the front office ignore you this is the place for you.
Seriously do not go here, save your money and go elsewhere. I made an appointment they scheduled me to have a few tests done 2 months ago and hav not heard a thing. And everytime I call I cannot get someone on the phone!
DR. Uma Karnam is very thorough. I trust his expertise. He is the only GI specialist that I will see.
From billing to being seen by a doctor, if you to feel like a boat payment, go here. The doctor doesn’t even perform an examination. He’ll get sued someday.
I have never had better care. Always checking up on me to see how things are going. Love everyone there in the office they are all very genuinely caring about how you are
I LOVE Dr. Karnam! He’s different, but in a good way. Staff is always kind to me. The building is just beautiful. 💖💖 …
Dr. Karnam is very pleasant to work with, their is no bull, he is short and to the point. wished other dr. offices were run this way.
Watch out for the staff (especially the service up front) I don’t like writing reviews, however, my experience was uniquely horrible. Oh, and make sure you have insurance because that seems to be all they care about. Good thing I didn’t have to pay anymore then I did.
Took 45 minutes to finish everything, but they are really good and explained all what I need , clean, organized, nice , and professionals.
I disagree with the person who commented about Darcy she is on top of getting patients getting taken care of obviously this person was having a bad day and you do realize that the phones get busy right?

Dr. Karnam is great and was the first doctor to find the source of my husbands ongoing pain after seeing many doctors for this issue! He is very thorough. However we saw APRN Donna Thompson in this office once and she seemed like she …
Been a patient of Dr Karnam’s for over 10 years. Through thick and thin with my condition, he’s been there to make sure I’m doing well. Knowledgeable and personable, two traits you always want with a Doctor. The PA staff as well has always …
I have been having digestive issues for a few years now and they’ve been getting worse. I went in and spoke with a practitioner who suggested I have an upper and lower scope done. After that operation it took forever to schedule a follow up …
I’ve set appointment with Dr. Umapassana in very short time, which was good but probable had a reason for it.
In the doctor office at the register they asked me to white on the paper my …

DO NOT GO TO THESE PEOPLE. If I can save even one person the nightmare of what I am going through, this review will be worth it. …
I had a great visit with Dr. Smith. He was very understanding.
I did have issues with getting a scan scheduled and was unhappy it. However, when I spoke with them and vented my frustration they were very accommodating and …
Working with Dr.Karnam and his office staff has been nothing but frustrating. I believe Dr. Karnam has chosen the quantity of patients he treats over the quality of care he provides. My first appointment with him was less than 5 minutes. He …
Dr. Karnam has absolutely been God sent, an angel in disguise. He listens, cares and remembers. I’m truly grateful for his compassion and kindness. Before him, I saw a doctor at IHC Kearns and Riverton. They both failed to do the right …
Dr. Karnam is a knowledgeable and gifted gastroenterologist. He has done more for me than any other doctor has, and he has given me more answers to my health problems than any other doctor has throughout my entire life. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I would give 6 stars if I could.
The doctors seem fine, but the staff is utterly incompetent. My wife has been working to get her condition taken care of. Darcy, one of the staff, refuses to follow-up. …
Doctor Smith diagnosed me with ulcerative colitis earlier this year and he has been pretty good for the most part. He’s gone over the same things in every appointment I’ve had he doesn’t seem like he has notes on previous appointments. Also …
Misdiagnosed me with ulcerative colitis. I took the images from my colonoscopy to two other GI specialists who immediately said “no way, this is obviously Crohn’s disease”, which a follow up colonoscopy confirmed. …
Stop wasting your time with other doctors and RUN to Dr. Karnam. He is the BEST, most caring doctor you will EVER find. In a world full of doctors that only treat you as simply another patient, Dr. Karnam takes time to find the true …
Dr. Karnam saved my life. I was waiting for a kidney transplant and my stomach shut down. I had lost 85 lns and was not going to live much longer. My son found Dr. Karnam and I went to his office and the first time I met him I asked him if …
Worst experience, they sent in an order for me to have a HIDA scan. I had the scan on Friday morning, was in pain all weekend so I was eager to getter my results. I called on Monday, only got voicemail so left a message but never received a …
The doctors are really good, but the office personnel is not. I was waiting over an hour to see a nurse the first time going to the Riverton office. The nurse was not familiar with my condition. Since she was not familiar, she was not only …
20 minutes with a Nurse is billed at $250 at this location. If you are comfortable with this billing rate, this is the place for you. They do not know how to effectively bill insurance and get paid by insurance. This is a procedure …
I was enchanted by the clever name of this office, but I will not be going back! Phillip Bowman, APRN was fine. The office was clean and modern. But trying to communicate with his medical assistant is a joke. It says on her voicemail that …
I was very unimpressed with my experience here. I had been suffering with gut issues for months and while the initial visit was positive (nurse practitioner Johnson did a good job of listening to me and blood tests taken while I was there) …
The moment the doctors office decides to lie about what my insurance will and won’t cover is the moment I’m not going to that doctor again. Had an entire discussion on meds and what treatment I had hoped to recieve. Office insists that my …
Great Dr! He found my problem and fixed it, after years of suffering, no more pain. I trust him, and he listens, which I dont always get from Dr.’s. He has a gentleness and kindness that that is rare. I never wait long his office, …
Dr. Karnam is the best in the sea of many doctors I’ve seen! I’ve been being treated by karnam for 20+ years. I refer him to friends family and strangers. He is very attentive, compassionate, and will go above and beyond to assist you in …
I highly recommend Emily, NP, at this practice. She is gentle, respectful, knowledgeable and skilled. I felt like my concerns were heard, and she was efficient at diagnosing and treating my condition. However, I was unimpressed at the level …
If you are looking for a doctor that truly takes interest in what’s going on with you and finding ways to help you, I highly recommend Dr. Karnam. I have dealt with multiple issues most of my life and some more intense this last year and in …
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
CONSIDER this the McDonalds of “doctors”
1. Rude front desk – girl argued with me on call – asked for an email reminder …
The wait to see the doctor is exceptionally long but he was able to diagnose me correctly after years of me being misdiagnosed, getting the wrong treatment and being sick. When I found them I was so sick my hair was falling out and I was …
