Rockford Gastroenterology Associates Reviews ( 130 )

  1. I had a great experience getting a colonoscopy/ Upper endoscopy done at Rockford Gastro. The staff is always so friendly and professional, starting from the check-in desk, to the post op nurse. My surgery was moved up an hour due do a …

  2. Dr. Baddour treated me with sincere respect and compassionate understanding regarding a medication that is prescribed to me for off label use by my holistic NP to treat my Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Disease. It was validation for me that I am …

  3. They were on time, and everyone I came in contact with was friendly and professional. Dr. Ike was very warm and friendly, and made sure I understood the procedure.

  4. From intake to discharge the process was smooth. The nurses who prepared me for the test were very helpful and reassuring.
    Dr. Baddour is awesome. It was my first meeting with him. He explained the …

  5. The office and medical staff were very prompt and professional. I felt very at ease during my visit. They gave me time to ask questions and the communication before and after my appointment was exemplary. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

  6. Every one was very friendly and professional. Stayed as scheduled. Dr Shiels was very kind as was all the staff that I came into contact with. Prep was horrible but the Plennu was much easier to manage than the gallon of Prep originally prescribed.

  7. Dr. Tewani was truly one of the most incredible doctors I have ever seen. He was kind, thorough, and beyond knowledgeable. He answered each question with care and went above and beyond to help me understand all aspects of the discussion. I couldn’t recommend him more!

  8. I’ll be switching my dr out of this place. Years now I have been coming here doing tests and tests and oh guess what more tests charging me more and more money and wasting my time with no answers to why I’m sick oh let’s repeat this test …

  9. Absolutely horrible I woke up during the colonoscopy and they would not put me back to sleep. It was painful and uncomfortable and I would not recommend this place to my dog.

  10. I had a colonoscopy done by DR. Sunil S Patel. It was HORRIFIC! The sedative I was given did not work!! Dr. Patel chatted all through the procedure about his vacation. I was in TERRIBLE PAIN..When I said OWW THAT HURTS! He screamed at me …

  11. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years now and I would say that the entire staff at Rockford Gastroenterology are awesome. For the most part they are happy to be there and really want you to have a great experience. 3 years ago I had to …

  12. This is the first time I felt cared for! I was very pleased during my visit because the receptionist and nurses were very polite and caring. Thank you for showing me true compassion and care.

  13. employees are so insensitive to patients medical needs and care. i would call with concerns and questions about my lab results. these nurses kept saying “omg” like I’m being over dramatic about my pains in my stomach ive had for 1 year and a half. very disappointing how some people can treat over people ill never ever go here again!

  14. Horrible place ever.They kept sending me for an Ultrasound to a place that is not in my insurance even though i gave them the place that is in my insurance,After many weeks of this struggle they finally sent me to the place that i told …

  15. Have been somewhat helpful in the past — but NOW their billing practices are very concerning. The last 2 times I went to Rockford GI I ended up with costly bills (and I have insurance). No one informed me prior to the colonoscopy and …

  16. I have always received excellent care whether from the front desk staff to nursing to the physician. I do have a concern about the bathroom facilities, for a gastroenterology speciality. Would love to see waiting room updated also. Take a trip to RAS center. Now that’s a waiting room!

  17. My frustration is scheduling they don’t let you hold for next available. They want their scheduler to call you back. I can only answer the phone during times they won’t call back. So I have to call and call. …

  18. Normally I would give a good rating as Ive been treated well when I have received care here but recently I requested a paper briefly stating what Ive been seen there for and the nurse who called me assumed I was trying to get a letter from …

  19. Dr. Nonevski is the absolute BEST. He listens, he’s very helpful and there’s zero judgement. He’s compassionate and extremely knowledgeable.
    RGA is great. These doctors care about their patients.
    Thank you!!

  20. Rockford Gastro is such a caring and helpful place!!!!!! I was not cleaned out enough for colonoscopy (due to getting sick on prep). They let me stay there, gave me more laxative and fluids, etc, so that I could make sure I got my …

  21. There is no selection for zero stars or this business would have received it. If you want to be treated poorly, this is the place. My first encounter with them resulted in me arriving 30 minutes early as they instructed to wait a further …

  22. Brought my mother (which took me 3+ hours to drive) so I left very early in the morning before I would normally eat. Also didnt want to eat in front of her because she cant eat because of the procedure. I was not contacted or told once you …

  23. They were and are amazing. First off, you’re not always going to be 100% out, and can be in and out of consciousness. From what I was told, this is normal. I didnt feel any pain whatsoever. They all were extremely comforting and listened to …

  24. Rockford Gastro is an AMAZING PLACE!!!
    Dr. Nonevski is absolutely wonderful!! He takes the time to REALLY listen to you so you don’t feel like just another patient. He goes over each and every health …

  25. I can’t believe it. Rockford Gastroenterology (Cristy) called me Sunday night at 9:00pm to cancel my colonoscopy which was scheduled for the following morning (Monday) at 7:30am with Dr. Vicari. She said my covid test did not get to the …

  26. Start by calling and getting answered by the most disinterested and unfriendly voice you can imagine. Add hidden charges that you weren’t told about despite asking multiple times. Never call back as promised to confirm insurance …

  27. I have been going to Rockford Gastro since we moved from Texas in March. The entire staff, nurses, and doctors are just wonderful!! I have been to many doctors offices over the past 20 years for my GI issues and this office exceeds my …

  28. Staff was very rude. Nurse Practitioner Corrie Scott spent more time asking me about my mental health then my actual stomach issues. She said I was making them up and referred me to a Neurologist. I was deeply hurt. Very unprofessional.

  29. What can I say about this place? Doctors that are not willing to listen to patients or simply want to go to the lowest common denominator when it comes to diagnosing problems. Nurses that don’t return phone calls and are never available for …

  30. I won’t complain about the medical services I received from this place but its the payments that I had a terrible experience with. They sent my bills to “Rockford mercantile” collection agency this agency harasses people for not paying the …

  31. I left this place feeling like I knew less than I did coming in. First off the nurse was really short with me and grilled me with questions like I was trying to answer 20 questions on a game show. Then while the nurse practitioner was a …

  32. Before procedure great, day of great after TERRIBLE. They changed my phone number so they never reach me. Prescribed a medication I’m allergic to- it’s I’m my chart also that I’m allergic VA pharmacist caught it. Took them over 1/2 a day to correct which in return have to wait till pharmacy opens after holiday to get filled.

  33. I would give a 0 rating, but had to give one star to continue. Over the 1.5 years that I’ve been a “patient” of RGA – actually that includes waiting 2 months to be seen as a new patient followed by the other of being blown off!! I can say …

  34. Bye far the worst doctors office.. No information answered. They dont answer there phone or messages and they dont help you with you medical issues. Horrible patient care. I would look for somewhere else. All this place will do is waste you money and your time.

  35. Believe the negative reviews. The nurse (Dawn) was taking personal phone calls while I was in the room. She also seemed more concerned about her phone conversation than with my health issues. She asked me a few questions and tried to say …

  36. I called this morning at 9:30 and talked with a scheduler. She scheduled me to see Dr Gibbs today at 1:30. I arrived at 1:30 and was able to see my doctor right away. All the receptionists, nurses and my doctor were so kind. My doctor …

  37. This place is a joke. Don’t waste your time, I wish I could leave it a 0. Nurses don’t care, you can call and they tell you they will call you back and then you never hear from them again. You’ll probably die before someone actually answers …

  38. IF you have to have a procedure (in my case colonoscopy) this is the place to go. The staff, from the front desk to the doctors, are fantastic. Everything went quickly and efficiently, but I never felt I was being rushed through in …

  39. If you could rate them a negative star, I would give them -10 stars. I have tried for the past week to setup an appointment. The last time I talked to them they lied to me about talking to my PCP. I would not let them touch me with a 10 …

  40. I have been a patient for some time now. I usually have a decent care.. but I have been trying to get in contact with my doctor for over 10 days and I keep getting ignored. if it wasn’t an issue I needed a doctors help with I wouldn’t keep …

  41. About a year ago I had a procedure done here and they treated me for what I was diagnosed with. I was happy with the outcome and how my experience was. Recently I was referred to them again for GERD issues and was evaluated by “Dawn”. From …

  42. Great experience with this place! Dr. Sheils, the nurses, check in staff, everyone I encountered were all awesome!Colonoscopy went smooth, they were all polite, made me feel very comfortable. Thank you!

  43. I had no issues with the facility or the support staff. I had no issues with Dr Shiels, who helped me afterwards. Yet if I could give zero stars, I would. Honestly, Dr Manley alone is a lawsuit waiting to happen (and yes, I’ve talked with …

  44. Deserves a negative star- when Dr. Moore and 2 co-founders were here in was 2nd to none. Fast forward past their retiring and it’s now just a ‘Gastros-R-Us’ with lines stretching outside the entrance at times. Attempted to work with them, …

  45. From start to finish I was cared for wonderfully. From the person who signed me in, to the nurses and the doctor, they were all wonderful. Altogether I was in there for about 1 1/2 hours. And they also called the next day to check on me. I have no complaints and would highly recommend them.

  46. Rude, mouthy nurse working here. Sorry, but sick people don’t need angry nurses. She was rude to me on the phone after my procedure & was also pushy, angry & rude to the tech who was trying to take my vitals before the procedure. Disgusting.

  47. My experience with Dawn Vernon was horrible and honestly traumatizing. I have had a chronic GI disease for 8 years so I am used to working with medical providers, and had never been treated in such an unprofessional and dismissive way. I am …

  48. I have never reviewed anything on the internet, but I’ve received such poor care from Rockford Gastro that I felt I should share. I see Dawn Vernon, Nurse Practioner, at RG. I have met her once for all of 3 minutes and she recommended I do …

  49. Please play either music or the tv. Both playing at same time in waiting room is not relaxing. You also can’t hear pages. Thank you for consideration.

  50. I’ve had two SWITCHBOARD OPERATORS tell me my hernia is not that big of a deal. One of which even told me surgery for it is only 40% effective. Yet MY DOCTOR told me she wants me to have the surgery after we got some imaging of my esophagus. Switchboard operators are NOT medical professionals. Stop giving out medical advice.

  51. Extremely unethical. They REQUIRE a phone prescreen (an unnecessary appointment they charge for) with the nurse (Dawn Vernon) even though I was referred by my primary doctor. Dawn cleared me for an endoscopy, but once hooked up to an IV, I …

  52. The staff is very caring, they are on time right appointments and very thorough in their care. Stacia always takes the time to explain everything to me and works well with me to get everything I need done fast. Would highly recommend RGA.

  53. Dr. Nonevski listened to all my concerns (and I had a lot of them-lol) and addressed each of them in ways I could understand and make sense of. Excellent physician!

  54. Everyone has been great at the RGA center. I realized today before my follow up appointment. that I truly feel safe when I come here. My first appointment. here was with Stacia Sackmaster, APN. and nursing staff Barbie is one of the nurses …

  55. I’m baffled that they have over three stars considering how many negative reviews they have. I’m also baffled that they haven’t been shut down by the state for providing and billing unnecessary services. The doctors only care about how much …

  56. Stacia Sackmaster Is by far one of the best doctors I’ve ever had in any field. She is attentive, caring, informative and overall a amazing medical professional! The rest of her staff has been nothing but great to me! I would recommend Stacia and her staff to absolutely everyone!

  57. Dr. Stier will not refill my steroids on time. This is the second time this year I will be out of meds all weekend because of them, causing me a flare up that will put me out of commission for over a week. Communication at this place is a joke. I really wish I could go somewhere else in Rockford for help and care.

  58. I’ve been seeing Dr. Nonevski for years and have no complaints. He’s helped me with my GERD, easy to talk to, and is very knowledgeable in his practice. I highly recommend.

  59. I see Dr. Patel for my Crohn’s Disease. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. Sends me to the right places and people for any and all problems I may be having outside of his specialty.

  60. The entire experience was very good. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The doctor was very engaged and informed me about my health issues in an effective manner!

  61. One of the most thorough doctors I have ever been to. He spends time listening to everything you have to say and doesn’t rush the appointment. I’d highly recommend Dr Nonevski!

  65. We were very impressed with Dr. Nonevski. My Mom and I both appreciated his knowledge, thoughtful care of our healthcare issues, and the personal touch that he provided which added to an already great quality experience. Rockford Gastro and …

  66. I came to my first office visit with Dr. Baddour
    with extremely high anxiety and so scared. Dr Baddour had me at ease within minutes of meeting him. He was welcoming, very professional and beyond friendly. He …

  67. Dr. NONEVSKI was friendly, professional, and a good listener. He gave me good eye contact and gave me reassurance which I needed. I felt comfortable and I feel I can trust him with my care.

  68. This place is a joke. Dawn Vernon is the absolute worst! She doesn’t even listen to you. When I asked for a refill on my prescription and she refused to refill it and wanted to put me on a steroid. I said no why would I change medication …

  69. Dr Tannous takes the time to listen and problem solve with you. He expressed true concern regarding your symptoms. Explains everything in depth. Very good bedside manner. 4 stars given due to the length of time I had to wait for my initial appointment because they are so backlogged.

  70. Dr. Nonevski is extremely kind and listens and cares about you as a patient. As a patient with IBD it is so important to me to have a caring doctor who listens to my concerns and has a plan to keep me healthy! …

  71. The staff at Rockford Gastroenterology are kind, caring, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. I’ve depended on them for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. Dr. Nonevski and his staff are the best around!

  72. I was very impressed with my doctor
    He had the attitude of let’s take one step at a time to eliminate issues instead of just jumping right in. Very intelligent in what he is doing. Did not rush , was very caring and listened to everything I wanted to say. I would recommend him to everybody

  73. The staff was super friendly and professional. Doctor, Nonevski explained everything in ways that was easy to understand. Plus he has backup ideas if this doesn’t work. Definitely happy and hopeful again!

  74. Stacia is a great provider. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. You can tell she really cares about you and your health. 10/10 recommend! The rest of the staff here is also really kind and easy to work with! Great experience!
