"We came here from Madigan Hospital on JBLM on a referral due to staffing shortage at the hospital. This was SonHee's third colonoscopy and the first here at WAGI. The facility was nice clean and the staff were generally friendly. SonHee really liked her recovery. She felt lucid quicker after the procedure here much more than she did on Madigan. Going forward we hope this will be our preferred local for future colonoscopies! Highly recommended!"

"Everything was great. The only thing I was concerned about was the use of conscious sedation. There were questions I wanted to ask Dr. Katsman. I may have but I don't remember. Propofol I had for my colonoscopy was much better I think. The paperwork I took home had good information but I had some specific questions I wanted to ask."

"I have been waiting YEARS for a final diagnosis, and have had mostly bad experiences with all healthcare providers. Dr Rosenblatt did my colonoscopy and answered all my questions. She is incredibly thorough and polite. Although the wait times are a pain for follow up appointments (4 months out), it's totally worth it for a doctor that finally listens and doesn't belittle me."

"I didn’t have WiFi access for my Dad’s virtual visit. However, I was able to use my data on my cell. It worked great! The only thing I should have done was put my calls on “DO NOT DISTURB”, because twice when a call came in my connection with the Provider was cut off. She, very graciously, called us back. ARNP Betty was knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Thank you."

"My experience was very simple -- since I'm 85 years old, no action was necessary. But the friendliness and competence of the staff who talked with me -- Michelle Hendrickx -- was very reassuring. Clear explanations, and strong encouragements were very helpful. The arrangements of appointments (I had to change mine twice by my choice) was easily done. The office and desk were reassuring. And finding the full details on the portal shortly after I returned home was much appreciated. Thank you to all -- please continue such good service. (And i was VERY glad not to have to take the colonoscopy!!)"

"Professional and very kind-hearted people. If you're on the way or think you might be late call them A.S.A.P.. They can give only a few more minutes to let you get here. Any parking works bc inside they have an elevator for all 3 floors. Just know 2202 for the building number and look for it on the side of the building up high and to the left on it. Park it and they have a list of all the rooms next to the elevator."

"Dr. Taubman is a fantastic GI with your best interests at heart. I tried a different doctor after I moved, but have returned to Dr. Taubman for the excellent level of care. It's worth the 4 hour drive to get good care from someone who really puts their heart into it."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Holderman’s for many years, several endoscopies and colonoscopies, the last colonoscopy Dr. Holderman found a malignant mass, I have since had surgery and the mass removed it was caught at a very early stage Thanks to Dr. Holderman and his staff. I had gone to his office for something totally unrelated to my colon, but I was advised that I was past due for my colonoscopy, two weeks later I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy both procedures performed the same day. I have no idea how long I would have gone before getting a colonoscopy and the out come may not have been as great as it was. I would still have the cancer growing inside of me. I will always be thankful to Dr Holderman and his practice. The whole staff has been there for me, to help me, and answer all my questions and concerns, the office is always clean, everyone has always been very friendly, helpful and professional."

"Dr. Schwartz is a phenomenal specialist and physician. He is courteous, and engaged. When I was under his care, for both procedures I was a part of, he was passionate, understanding, and knowledgeable. His expertise stands out in both diagnosis and treatment. He was always able to respond in a timely manner to my inquiries through my entire process, prior to and after, of the procedure and treatment. The staff at this clinic provided consummate professionalism from scheduling to billing, and inquiries about prescriptions. If I had decided to choose another clinic based on Google reviews then I would have been woefully misguided. Give them the opportunity for consultation and decide for yourself. I understand most GI related occurrences require more immediate attention, but great GI physicians will have a full schedule. P.S. If you happen to see this review Dr. Schwartz & Team, I personally thank you for returning some normalcy to my life, and it was an absolute pleasure to have been, and to be your patient."
