"I am very happy with most of my experience with WaGii. But, I would have liked to have been warned that the Physical therapist that I was referred to was private pay only. No insurance taken"
"The motility RN, Wendy I believe was her name was amazing. She made the procedure, which I was a bit apprehensive about, a piece of cake. She was so kind and sweet and explained everything she was doing."
"Very clean and comfortable environment for such a delicate procedure. The whole staff was professional and knowledgeable but friendly too. I also received my results quickly with thorough explanations of the pre- and postoperative self-care procedures. I will be returning there for all ordered screenings."
"The staff was so kind from start to finish. The explained what they were going to do, and made ypu feel as comfortable as a patient could be. I would totally recommend this place if any one asked me. Thank you for making sure I was okay the whole way through."
"Throughly reviewed history, challenges, and what’s next items. Extremely helpful and informative staff. I was put at ease from reception through pre-procedure appointment."
"Dr. Arnold was going way over the top to make sure all my questions and concerns were answered. I've never had a "rush" vibe from him right from the start he took his time with me making sure I understand everything. The staff in the hospital, all the nurses involved in the surgery were super helpful and they all went way beyond the expected.... thank you all you've done for me! I hope I won't see you again though!...😀 Best regards, Andrew Szarka"
"Everyone at Dr. Kevin K Leung“s office was very nice and professional. They even laughed at my jokes which I’m sure they had heard many times before. I would highly recommend this office Dr. Kevin K Leung! **********+++++++!!!"

"I rate five because they care and the doctor stay with you answering all the questions and concerns, never rushing kick you out of the clinic. And really they care. Dr Grant Vera and Doctor hung excellent doctors. And their stuff are awesome as well."
"This is the first time I actually felt listened to at a doctor’s appointment! I’ve been chasing GI issues for years and Jesse was the first medical professional to actually listen and not immediately write off all my issues due to my weight. Rhonda and the other lady at the front desk were also very sweet and the nurse who took my labs was so gentle and got my vein on the first try! That rarely happens. Thank you for making a stressful situation a little easier. I’m very grateful ❤️"
"I was treated wonderfully but the office does not have enough staff. Wait times are too long, everything felt rushed and I can't get a response to my portal messages"
"I'm grateful to have such a wonderful provider. I've been seen and taken care of by Them for the past few years. I know I'm in good hands. Thank you."
"I was treated wonderfully but the office does not have enough staff. Wait times are too long, everything felt rushed and I can't get a response to my portal messages"
"Very kind and professional. My doctor was running late but another one had patients that canceled. I was offered a choice between the two. I took the earlier time with a doctor I didn’t know. She was great! I went to sleep and woke up with no discomfort. I was able to eat solid food within an hour after my procedure. The worst part was the 3 day prep."
"Exceptional care from exceptional staff. Couldn’t be happier with the kindness and professionalism i was given. Huge thank you to dr Argawal and the whole team."
"My new provider is INCREDIBLE! Shana is phenomenal at her job! If it wasn’t for her, I’d still be just taking massive stool softeners off and on for the rest of my life with zero answers! I am so thankful I was sent to her after begging my dr for actual help. She is incredible."
"I have had to have a number of both of the procedures they do here, and Dr.Hassig is Very good at what he does. I always feel confident that I will be taken care of and come out feeling fine."
"I recently had telehealth phone appointment. Office called ahead of time asked if I needed any assistance logging on phone app or any questions before call. Professional and courteous! Excellent job!"
"When I finally got in for my over 80 medical appt., things went well. However, I was not happy about having 2 of those appointments cancelled resulting in me having a colonoscopy appt. 2 months after it is due."
"The Dr was very thorough in explaining the outcome of my colonoscopy. I did have an issue with the person I who took my blood pressure etc prior to the procedure. She was asking me about my meds and wasn’t transferring the information I’d provided in the paperwork I completed. She said “Oh, you took the time to complete the paperwork and I should be looking at it”. Also, she said she needed to hurry because the doctors were always waiting for her. She was pretty anxious and made me somewhat uncomfortable and anxious as well. I was not impressed with her"
"My only complaint is the glass doors to enter the office. I was in a manual heelchair and it was a very dificult manuver to keep the dorr open with my husbands foot and then trying to get me through it atvthe same time. Love my drs and PAs here. They need a handicap door opener."
"Always concerning to the needs of the patient. Charlotte Duvall is second to none and has helped me more than I can say, the Team at Washington GI is the Best."
"I have nothing but the best things to say about this place. I would say that it is the five star hotel experience with very qualified professionals names Dr Lee Huang, Dr Shaily Jain, Anthony RN, Helen who gave me IV, Manny who gave me anesthesia, and I believe it was Jennifer who helped with the Colonoscopy procedure. I would recommend this place 100 percent. I am referring to the Federal Way Location"
"The receptionist that checked me out was outstanding she was very thoughtful and helpful and efficient and Dr Vera is excellent very grateful for their care. Leigh Kleweno"
"I had a Esophageal Motility Study done here. The staff were all very professional. The nurse that did the test was exceptional. She explained everything and took care to see that I was ready and comfortable. The test was successfully done in a few minutes and I had no discomfort. I highly recommend this business for this procedure. Thank you for the excellent service."
"Very nice staff. Exceptional dr. She didn’t leave any rock uncovered she hit all corners. Very nice lady. I love her. I felt she really cared about my health. And wanted to help. I would recommend this place to everyone"
"Dr. Hassig was friendly and personable. He took the time to explain things to me and answer all my questions . I look forward to working with him to get my health back on track."
"I received more explanatory procedures that could be done to help me with my Gastrology it was so amazing how the doctor explained to me and we sit down and we went over everything that needed to be done and to figure out what was going on with me I appreciate them so much"
"Charlotte Duvall and the other ladies working in the office were kind, friendly and engaging in conversations with me even when I digressed. Charlotte is very respectful and knowledgeable of her work. I apologize for forgetting the name of the lady that makes the appointments. She made sure that I understood what to expect as far as phone calls. I felt comfortable in their presence."
"Today I completed an Esophageal Motility test at this clinic. If you know anything about this test, you know it can be very unpleasant. However, despite my anxieties, the nurse/technician Wendy was patient and calming, making it a bearable procedure, and I was functional the rest of the day! Wendy invited me to come in early, talked me through everything (a week before the test and on the day of it), was collaborative in the process, and was validating of my nerves. She took extra time after the test to talk about what she could see, while also being appropriate with boundaries around needing additional expertise for full evaluation. I highly recommend this clinic if you need this exam (another name for it is High Resolution Manometry)."
"The meeting with the nurse was fantastic! She spent so much time with me. Explaining, and asking such detailed questions and actually listening to my issues. She then recommended a game plan that is finslly getting to the root cause of my problem!"
"Dr Leung and his nurse Trudy went out of their way to help me when no one else would. They listened to me and ordered up the tests that I feel saved my life. They personally helped me even though their schedule was booked way out and went above and beyond any professional behavior. God bless them and WAGI! I only wish they practiced general medicine so I could have them as my primary care. I would leave 10 stars if I could! ❤️"
"Katy P. is my assigned nurse practitioner from a scar tissue epidemic, referred by Dr Leung from a roux-en-y surgery that was needing to be under a professional watch, due to flare-ups of ulcers. I moved here in 2017. She is the one and only person I can think of, who's a woman in the professional field, who has been with me since the beginning of losing my husband and moving here to be a caregiver to my mom. I have been very fortunate to be under her care. She is very thorough. And and very sympathetic to my fight for health and wellness of feeling better. I just hope she comes back after her maternity leave."
"Dr Hassig has performed this procedure on me many times over the past 15+ years. Over that time his team has performed with consistency at a highly personable and professional level."
"I have seen Dr. Hasek for years he always has given me great information to all my questions and I always have a lot of questions lol me trying to figure out what is going on with my GI I have issues! I should probably talk to him more often ."
"As usual, excellent pre procedure instructions. Running on time. Procedure was very comfortable. Was released as expected for my friend to get me home and back into bed to relax for the rest of the day. "Looking forward" to my next procedure in October."
"You can’t beat the team at Washington GI. I have been a patient for almost 20 years. Dr Hassig is the best. Every visit is like catching up with a friend."
"Dr Hassig and the team made the experience very easy, comfortable and stress less. Their system is seamless from checking in to going over results. There was someone to assist me at each stage and they went out of their way to make my visit as pleasant as possible. My sister was my designated driver and she said she wished her husband had been able to use a clinic this nice for his recent similar procedure"
"I have appreciated the time and care I have received. I saw Katherine Phillips. She listened to my issues and concerns and is working with me to address the."
"Appreciate, Is always on time, friendly people always, Doctor always listens when their is a change ,rather, if my medicine not working, or something different in my body"
"Dr. Hassig and the staff were very professional and friendly. I was pretty nervous as this was my first endoscopy, but they made me feel safe and comfortable. I would 100% recommend."
"Each appointment is politely, and quickly done. With very Polite and Professional staff my Health has been expertly considered with care. Greeted with a smile during each appointment ... over worked and understaffed, yet Smiles and Professionalism throughout the office."
"Dr. Haung is the best Doctor my husband Dan has had on his 15 year journey with the aftermath from cancer treatments. Thanks you Dr. Haung for making our lives easier."
"My first experienced of patient with Wagi Washington. There is professional in program and teamwork. Nothing to scare. The hardest part of me was that couldn’t eat any food, Vegetables , fruit and snacks the day to prepare and the day of procedure. Yes I really hungry but I was understanding the way I have to be. I great that I did it."
"The staff here was very friendly and super helpful. They took great care of my boyfriend, and made sure all of our questions where answered as well as that we were comfortable with everything that we had talked about."
"I had a colonoscopy here and the staff and doctors were amazing. I have a fear of hospitals and procedures so I was extremely nervous about my procedure. The whole experience from beginning to end was great. The pre appointment information was clear, thorough, and easy to follow. The staff from when I walked in the door to when I left were caring, understanding, and each person I dealt with took the time to explain every step in detail."
"Having a colonoscopy is truly one of life's great miseries, ( Actually the prep is) . This was my first colonoscopy with Washington GI. It went as best as it possibly could. The prep they provided in advance did its job, and I had no cramping. The staff at the clinic were great, I went to sleep and woke up and it was done. Very happy over all with my experience and look forward to seeing them again in 5 years!"
"After being poked in vain 3 times for an IV in order to undergo body CT scan, I have a fear of being poked again. That was a couple of months ago but my phobia for needles continue. At Digestive Health , where I went to this morning for a colonoscopy, I told the nurse Erica that I have fear of being poke due to a previews experience and I told her she can access my port. She assured me she will only prick my vein one time and sure enough. She poked my arm one time and with that I commend her for lessening my fear. Erica was very polite and a very efficient nurse. Thank you Erica. I would like to commend too, Holly, also a nurse at Digestive Health. She was also very helpful and caring. Thank you Holly."
"Dr. Leung saved my life. I was too young for routine Colonoscopy, and was extremely ill nearly two years, either diarrhea or spontaneously vomiting (even purged for 16 days while in DC- hospital saw nothing serious on CT Scan. My General Physician, Dr Kamran Khan worked by process-of-elimination, and after exhausting all logical testing, he said I was too young, but he was sending me to digestive health. Dr. Leung and his team have been amazing since first Colonoscopy resulted in finding a carcinoid tumor, which explained my symptoms as being carcinoid syndrome. Once my oncologist was on board, I had two more procedures to gain a safer margin of healthy tissue, reducing the risk of the cancer returning. 4th procedure insured I was cancer-free. I was even checked after a food poisoning. If any of you are having problems, consider Dr Leung. If they seem too business-like and fast appointments, consider yourself lucky. They are out to prevent serious issues and disease. 5 Colonoscopies later, and I am proud they are on my team. Dr Leung, again: Thank you for saving my life and keeping me in a healthy check routine. By the way, I need to sincerely thank you for having had YOU call me March 14, 2014, to tell me I had cancer.......AND stay on the line with me for over half an hour, to get past the shock and confusion, a million questions, and then explain what to do next. Had I not had and still have a great healthcare team like you all, my cancer may not have been found for another 10 years, had I even made it that soon for an age-appropriate routine Colonoscopy. Dr. Leung, thank you for saving my life and reassuring my family."
"Underwent a 24-hour pH acidity test, tube through my nose and down to my stomach. I was nervous going in to this procedure. I do not handle stuff like this very well at all. I am a horrible patient! Tammy is wonderful, encouraging, and beyond positive professional. Inserting the tubes was a nightmare. First try, bone blocking the nasal passage. Second try, sinuses swollen, making it difficult to insert tube in my other nostril. We finally got there. However, nose bleed after removing the tube. My anxiety level was escalating. After the 24-hour tube was inserted, I truly didn't think I could last 24 hours for this test. The tube was beyond irritating, I was in tears and an emotional mess. Tammy is amazing! Her words of encouragement and her empathy were above excellent. She was very patient. Thank you, Tammy, for getting me through this!"
"Jennifer Norstrom-Zuarez is my husband's doctor and she is, out of 6 monthly visits, is the best, most caring, most trustworthy doctor he sees. She is friendly and wonderful."
