"My visit was awesome! Fast and efficient!! The Dr and staff treated me well and with respect. That is all I can ask. My colonoscopy was scheduled for the end of the month. Looking forward to getting it done. Dr Friedman is the only doc my family goes to when dealing with our Kiesters."
"Staff is very friendly, communicative and thorough. They’re very efficient and there’s little to no time spent waiting. Dr Friedman is extremely knowledgable and is current on the latest data regarding certain medications - updated me on my concerns that were from outdated studies. Great experience, very nice to leave without any lingering doubts or questions"
"From the front desk filling out paperwork, to going over my exam I was extremely happy with the treatment and professionalism. Thank you so much for being so kind."
"It was a great experience. The preparation leading up to the procedure was phenomenal. It happened in a professional and timely fashion. The staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable before and after the procedure. Thank you Dr Leung and the entire staff!"
"Dr. Leung explained things very well from what he would be looking for, to what was going to happen during the procedure to explaining the results after the procedure. Very good Dr!"
"The staff and healthcare professionals at WAGI are compassionate, friendly and warm. I was really nervous before my procedure, but Dr. Leung and his staff helped me relax and feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend WAGI !"
"This has been the third time I've used your facility and I have felt very comfortable each time. Confidence in your knowledge and skill.. nice staff okay"
"I am so impressed with Doctor Leung. He does his research and his staff are top notch! The clinic in Federal Way where I got my procedures done was very professional and all of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Highly Recommend."
"Very professional, explained everything thing in detail. Ask me questions..kept me informed..spent only one hour from intake through the procedure to recovery. Checked up on me the days following. A busy intake for many facilities in the area, but always accommodating with dates and times. Highly recommended."
"Dr.Leung saved my life. I was having debilitating issues for 10+ years that other doctors brushed off and ignored. I mentioned these symptoms to him and he took me seriously. He was the first doctor to ever (in my entire life) listen to me and try to help. He did blood tests and an endoscopy and discovered exactly what was wrong with me. If I hadn’t made the appointment to see him, I would’ve lived a short and painful life. Now, my life expectancy is much like anyone else’s, all because he listened and cared. Yes, his appointments are booked out. There’s a reason. If you’re debating about whether or not to make the appointment and wait the few months to see him…this is your sign to do it. Dr.Leung, you are my hero. Thank you for saving me."
"Dr Leung has been my Dr for many years. Always professional, respectful, confident and positive. My screenings have been thorough and come back clear. All of the staff put you at ease. The prep for colonoscopy is well prepared. VIDEO'S and reminders by text are very helpful."
"I can't speak highly enough of Washington Gastroenterology - Fogel Endoscopy Center and Dr. Kevin Leung. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Leung was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I left the clinic feeling confident in the care and procedure I received. If you're looking for a reputable colonoscopy clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further than Washington Gastroenterology - Fogel Endoscopy Center in Federal Way."
"Since they kindly continuously sent me instructions on the treatment process in writing and via email, I completed the entire process successfully with the cooperation and help of the Doctors and Nurses, and now l feel like l have been reborn. They were truly outstanding people. More than anything Dr. Thank you so much Kevin"

"Easy, painless procedure. Professional explanations during a follow up. I would definitely recommend this doctor if you have issues in gastroenterology."
"Dr. Leung was very friendly and personable, and despite the fact that I had never met with him before I was completely comfortable talking with him. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to our visit being on zoom and not in person. I would have preferred a face to face visit especially as it was my 1st with Dr. Leung, but he was booked out too far and I had pressing issue, but glad the zoom visit was an option!"

"Dr. Leung was very detailed. However he overlooked my own personal knowledge and experience and seem to talk down to me.

Dr. Leung and staff showed up a few minutes later and explained how the procedure would progress. Next thing I knew it was over and he explained how things went. The anesthesia did not linger and I felt great. I would recommend WAG and Dr. Leung if you need a colonoscopy."

"Dr. Leong is the best hr is patient and slows down and talks so you can understand what he is saying. However as a complaint he is so good that if you having a GI medical condition, he is liked so much, you can't get an apt for right away, I seen him recently he said to make a follow up apt, this is February and his next available is June. So I make an apt with, his PA and she is also, very nice and I am okay to see her as well. She is very good about explaining things and what to do next."

"Dr. Friedman is very thorough about medical issues and is very good about listening to you as an individual patient. You don't get the feeling he is merely looking to prescribe medicines, but rather that he's truly trying to find you relief from the gastrointestinal issues you may be facing. His office staff is also very thorough and are very good about following up with you even if you are apt to forget your follow ups."
"Dr.Friedman was very approachable and quick to diagnose my condition. I was suffering for 14 days with terrible acid reflux and high BP.
