Reviews
Dr Darren Swartz was amazing. He made me feel at ease. His staff was the same way. I can't thank you enough for your patience and explaining everything to us. I am more grateful for you and your extra effort which saved my life. Excellent team. I can't tell you the gratitude I feel. Dr Diamond and everyone involved were amazing from the beginning to the end. Thank you from my heart
Each day is a blessing. Best to all of the Doctors involved. Cancer was removed before it spread. Amazing work

Everyone was helpful and procedure went well.
The best Gastro doctors in Tacoma. They saved my life.
I’ve seen this doctor since the 90s and can’t say enough good things about him. He found a precancerous polyp and removed it. I went to a different gastroenterologist who wanted me to wait 10 years for the next one, which going back consulting with Dr Yee, he said, “With a tubovillous adenoma, you need one every 5 years.” So scheduled one. Seeing my GP today for my annual visit, she mentioned it wasn’t due until 2029, so I shared the good doctor’s advice; considering my grandma died of colon cancer, mom had it before she passed away, thank you Dr Yee for all you do for your patients and your guidance in all things of the gastro and such!
The service from providers has been wonderful. However, scheduling is deplorable. After waiting almost 2 weeks for order to be sent to original location, I made a phone call to change locations. This took an hour. I was cut off twice during calls of 20 minutes and then had to wait that long to get through on 3rd call. This place needs more schedulers or at least let us call our location. Thanks to Stephanie who quickly took information and completed needed process on third call.
Was my surgeon for a gastro surgery in July 2025 at OHMC. Dr. was quiet, reserved in contact with me.
Described what she would do, asked questions. In the surgery room (suite) I noted that she and five other persons were close in this small space. She was quiet, seeming standoffish, watching all others without comment. The drug took effect, I have no knowledge of the very brief surgery event. Can't otherwise comment, I'm still alive. Dr did a fine job.

I have white coat syndrome and often feel intense anxiety around medical visits, but Dr. Kang immediately put me at ease. He combines thorough, high-quality care with a warm bedside manner and just the right touch of humor to create a calming experience. After my first colonoscopy, he found and removed polyps, then scheduled a follow-up to ensure everything was clear (thankfully, it was). His attention to detail and genuine care stand out in a time when many doctors seem rushed. I’m so grateful for his approach and can’t recommend Dr. Kang enough - especially for anyone who struggles with anxiety around healthcare.
I had a positive interaction with Dr Philo and his staff they treated me wonderfully and they were very professional in every way I give them a five-star rating.
Dr.Kang gave me a full attention to my health concerns, and to follow on items needed his staff is on it !
I recently had a colonoscopy with Dr. Raj Butani and was very impressed with the entire experience. His staff was kind, attentive, and made me feel at ease from check-in to recovery. Dr. Butani took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly before and after the procedure, which I really appreciated. I felt well cared for every step of the way. Highly recommend!
My colonoscopy went just fine. Thank you very much.
I've had 3 appointments now, and my experience, is that all the staff, including Dr Doherty, are friendly and professional. Wait times were never excessive. Dr Doherty is very knowledgeable. Overall about as positive as a Dr's appointment can be.
Dr. Yana Parker and her staff are wonderful... I had yet another endoscopy, and everyone was wonderful, from the admitting person (who's name unfortunately I did not get); to Cheston, the pre-procedure nurse, who not only told me everything he was doing, but started an IV I didn't not feel, and assured my comfort; to Matt, the anesthesiologist, who addressed all that I might possibly experience while under anesthesia, and accompanied me to the procedure room, where the rest of the staff helped me into position, and Matt administered the anesthesia so delicately I was able to experience the brief relaxation into going under; to Mallory, the after-procedure/recovery nurse, who ensured I was comfortable, and made certain I was fully alert before I was released; to Dr. Yana Parker herself, who came in before the procedure, briefly discussed the procedure, and gave me a print-out of the results (so far) of the procedure, complete with photos.
Every visit I have had at the Silverdale office of Washington Gastroenterology has been wonderful, and everyone on the staff is superb! A+++!

Clinical service has always been top notch! From receptionist to nurses/attendants to the CNP/Doctors. Very professional.
Admin has sometimes been challenging- would get a call to schedule something due to a received referral, then call back only to be told no referral in system. Invest many calls to try to resolve before getting it straight.

Dr Siddaiah is an excellent health care provider. Kind, caring, and always shows honest concern for any probkem I may have. I would recommend Dr Siddaiah and his staff to anyone un need of a gastrologist. They're the best.
Just had my endoscopy, and had an amazing experience by the staff. I chose to do it unsedated, and that was obviously a little bit uncomfortable. I do want to mention that even though I refused anesthesia, I wasn't given numbing spray for my throat, so I was essentially just raw dogging the camera and tube, which probably made me gag more than necessary. So sorry about that.
I do have to say Dr. Yee is a great Doctor and person, I felt completely comfortable when we met in person and he and his staff were able to keep me calm during the procedure. I felt completely in control of my health plan, just great people all around. Would I want to do this procedure again? Not really, but if I had to I know this clinic would take really good care of me.

Attentive, courteous, and efficient
Dr. Tan made the experience of having a colonoscopy seem very painless. I recommend him 100%.
Only issue was having to wait months for the schedule to allow me to get the procedure due to the merger of two practices. But once the wheels started turning, it all went well. Doctor Siddaiah was very approachable and easy to talk with in the pre-meeting, and before sending off to never-never land for procdeure. He also came by to talk post-procedure, nice. Staff were efficient and easy to deal with getting prepped. Nurse Anesthetist was very good, reassuring, told what was going to happen, A+ for her. I've had some difficulty talking to somebody post-op about the pathology results, specifics on what was found, next steps.
Generally, very positive about the staff, facilities, and procedures.

Dr Parker has gone above and beyond to care for me. After months of terrible pain and weight loss, she diagnosed my UC. She has been diligent in finding the right treatment. She is accessible, smart and genuinely cares about the pain and other challenges of a serious GI disease. I can’t recommend her enough.
