"If you need a colonoscopy, I highly recommend Dr Holderman and his nursing team. He visited me before and after the procedure which was comforting and informative. His nursing team are efficient as well as reassuring and kind from start to finish. The nurse anesthesist was efficient and used her sense of humor. As an RN and the patient, I value the care that was given to me. The 5 stars are truly earned."
"Great experience considering what I was having done. Prep wasn’t a problem. My husband kept commenting at how much better my prep was compared to when he had his colonoscopy elsewhere . My only complaint is that when checking in and waiting to be called back, there are not bathrooms nearby. I had to keep leaving the waiting room and office to hustle down a long hallway to a single occupancy bathroom. A few times I had to wait while someone else was using it. As you know you have basically no control over your bowels from the prep and this is a very risky setup. Once called back there is a bathroom. My procedure was quick and easy and the staff was wonderful."
"I had a colonoscopy there today...can't say enough good things about my experience from check in to check out. They were very organized, efficient, personable and calming. Great co ordination of processes . I interacted with alot of people, and all were personable and professional. Made what could have been a scarey experience not so at all."
"Everything was great in the way the staff and the doctor took care of me during the procedure, but I never heard Dr Freidman with the results of my colonoscopy"
"I am deeply thankful for Dr. Sang Kim and the team at the Bellevue location. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2019 and had three colonoscopies with Dr. Kim. I heard of cases where patients experienced side effects after a colonoscopy, but I did not experience any side effects and the tests were always accurate. Furthermore, during the follow-ups, Dr. Kim always had thorough explanations about the prescribed medications and carefully reviewed the progress of my GI health over the years."
"This was the first time that I ever met Shaily Jain, she was very respectful and very polite even though I was real scared only because I had a bad experience when I had my first colonoscopy. She did a real fine job I would like for her to do my colonoscopy again and also I would recommend her to anyone that needs that procedure done. She's alright in my book. Thank you, Margie Wilder 😇"
"Very nice and professional staff with instructions before, on the day of colonoscopy procedure and follow-up after the procedure. Dr. Lai took time to clearly explain the results and prepare all documents about what to do for the after-procedure care."
"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."
"Dr Rosenblatt did my colonoscopy in May. The process was super quick and easy. Once I had my appointment set up, they emailed me the prep instructions. I received several reminders via text in the days leading up to the procedure to ensure I was doing the prep correctly. The day off was a breeze! My appointment check in was at 7:45am. I was taken back immediately and done by 9am. Now I don’t have to go back for 5 years."
"Went in for routine colonoscopy. Everything ran like a well oiled machine. Dr. Friedman and staff were thorough, so nice and made the experience as pleasant as possible"
"Friendly, warm informative staff. I have yet to undergo 3 different but needed procedures but at this point I feel like I am in good, capable hands. Updated to add: I underwent both a Colonoscopy and an Endoscopy there. Wow! Both procedures were on the same day, and it couldn't have been easier! If I could give Washington Gastroenterology 6 stars, I would do so!"
"The staff was friendly and Dr. Kang was great. He knows his stuff, in and out, and had some good tips and tricks for managing symptoms of GERD and IBS. I had a list of questions, which he happily answered."
"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."
"I arrived on time, was signed in and colllected promptly, and waited for the M D less than 5 minutes. He had reviewed my chart and situation, listened to a brief history noting important points and discussed his recommendation, the possibility that the insurance might not approve the Rx and the back up alternative if that was the case. We arranged a way to communicate via the portal and he asked for a fu appt to be scheduled. Before leaving he reminded me that if I did not regain the lost weight he would have to do a colonoscopy! So a lot of info and appropriate action in about 15 minutes I give it an A+"
"Dr Kim and his staff were very kind and professional. A Colonoscopy is not something I voluntarily sign up for, I dreaded it! They made it easy. I would recommend this group."
"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"
"I highly recommend Dr. Selinger and her team at Overlake! She immediately puts you at ease and it’s the most professional of necessary visits. I’ll spare you the pics ;>"
"Dr. Shayla is a fantastic human being! She took the time to listen to me and read between the lines of what I was saying. Although I thought I was managing my Gerd fine it was obvious that my Gerd was running my life and she heard that through our conversation. We came up with a much better medical plan and thus far its working! Additionally the entire staff is kind, helpful, and wonderful! It was a great first in person visit!"
"The staff and physicians are all professionals, caring and understanding. I recommend anyone who has issues with pain in the intestinal track to see treatment at this facility."
"this doctor and his staff are great. having a colonoscopy is not the funnest procedure to prepare for but as far as the procedure goes this office and his staff are very caring respectful and clean. I have a condition that I have to have a colonoscopy every year to two years probably for the rest of my life and as far as I'm concerned as long as he's in business I won't look elsewhere for my specific medical needs"
"My experience with Dr Butani was very very good. He fully explained the procedure; his team was very organized; their level of care exceptional; and the organization runs on time w/o any delays."
"Dr. Jain has been my physician for my procedures ever since I had to have them. Her manner is wonderful she is thorough and kind. Thanks, Dr. Jean and your whole team.♥️"
"The whole process seems daunting if it’s your first scope but it’s easy with the great team that works with Dr O. Of course the prep is the worst part but after that the procedure went well and without complaints. I don’t recommend 1st case as it will get you up in the middle of the night to complete dose 2. All in all, it was a smooth process."
"Dr.Rosenblatt was clear in her diagnosis and explained the process that I was going through to further understand what I have and giving a clear steps I will be completing."
"When I get care it is good but appointments too far apart. Took way too long to determine I have SIBO. Haven’t gotten the prescription I need and it will be a week tomorrow. I’m still sick and might have to go to ER I feel so bad, I need something for pain and they won’t give me anything"
"Dr. Lai is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He listens to all your concerns and addresses the issues in a timely manner. I highly recommend him."
"Dr. Rosenblatt is a pleasure to work with. She is very kind, listens very closely, and I am very lucky to have her as my Gastroenterologist. I would recommend her to anybody if they are in need of GI help."
"The staff and doctors are very professional. I have a upcoming procedure and they do a great job of getting the information from my insurance. So they can give me a pretty accurate cost of what my procedure will be."
"I absolutely loved my appointment with Dr. Ojeaburu. He was kind, sincere, he listened to me, he answered all of my questions, and he was gentle in the exam. I suffer from chronic pain, especially abdominal pain and when he examined me he was very gentle. I have not had a doctor treat me with the level of kindness and respect as I received from Dr. Ojeaburu. I highly recommend him."
"I’ve been there twice and both times flawless. Staff nice personable. I think they may actually care about their patients. Either they care or thy are Oscar worthy performers."
"Dr Moussan is the Greatest GI doctor. He knew when it was time for me to have surgery for an intestine resection. A previous doctor from another health group didn’t follow my case as reported by two of their PA’s. (ie, 3 episodes of severe night sweats, waking up as if someone threw me in a swimming pool with my bed; severe chills inside out; and unexplained high fever of 103.) Dr Moussan referred me to a surgeon who told me that he was shocked to see that I was even walking let alone able to go to work. I am deeply Grateful to Dr Moussan and his staff to follow me in my diagnosis. Highly Recommended!"
"Dr. Selinger is amazing and a blessing to me and my wife. We have both had colonoscopies and endoscopies with her and she takes phenomenal care of us. She also kindly referred me to another sensational Doctor, Prakash Gatta, for a complicated esophageal surgery. With Dr. Selinger, you are not only getting an extremely smart doctor, you are getting one with superb bedside manners. Dr. Selinger leads from a place of empathy and it shows. I give her my highest recommendation❤️"
"The nurse was very professional and friendly. Whoops. Gave opinion for wrong office. This definitely a ten overall. I recommend them. They are topnotch."
"The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have seen Dr Jain a few times now and I am very happy with her professional manner and care that she gives."
"I love Michelle she so dedicated, loving, and caring. She has been my specialist for too many years to try to remember and I wouldn't change her for anything."
"Who knew one day I would be reviewing...a colonoscopy! Anyway, everything was great. Easy to schedule, pre procedure protocols well explained. Nice building with lots of parking spots. Nice waiting room. Everybody that works in the pre-op/procedures/ surgery /recovery room are awesome. Hope to see them again in..10 years! YeAH!"
"Great Doctor, I was suffering from GERD disease for years , used to wake every morning with so much pain . Dr Butani cured the 10 plus years pain in two sessions, he is an exceptional doctor ."
"I trust Dr. Selinger completely with my care for both my endoscopic & colonoscopies care. She is easy to talk to & she really listens. She explains everything so that I understand completely. She discovered that I have Barrett’s Esophagus in 2003 & has managed my care so that the initial diagnosis of short segmented Barrett’s has remained “short segmented” and has not spread higher up my esophagus or worse became cancerous. She has also been vigilant on removing the polyps that grow in my intestinal track. I would rate her as a strong 10+"
"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)."
"Dr.Friedman was very approachable and quick to diagnose my condition. I was suffering for 14 days with terrible acid reflux and high BP. Doctor quickly got to the root cause by performing an endoscopy. Endoscopy was performed seamlessly and observations explained thoroughly. Before the endoscopy, I was very nervous and doctor provided the confidence and support needed."
"Very kind and informative. I was nervous about my colonoscopy and endoscopy, the staff at the facility were just as nice and kept me safe. Always a positive experience with whenever I contact his office as well. God Bless him and his staff. It’s not everyday you have a positive experience either everyone involved in a surgical setting."
"Had a routine medicine check up. All went well. Was also reminded of it being time for my next procedure. And a few helpful ways to take my medicine at better times. Thank you"
"Staff was friendly, Doctor Huang carries himself with great professionalism and seemed genuinely concerned with getting to the bottom of my medical issue. So far I would recommend this Doctor and office!"
"My colonoscopy went great. The staff (from the reception to the nurses, Dr. Friedman, to the procedure staff) were kind, courteous and very professional. The facility was clean and modern and I felt at ease from check-in to check-out. I highly recommend using Dr. Friedman and his staff."
"Doctor Agarwal is very sharp. He will tell you the truth instead of what you might want to hear. I have confidence in his knowledge and recommendations for my digestive health"
"Dr. Donner and his staff were very kind and professional. There were no unanticipated delays or issues with the appointment. I showed up early, but that was no problem as the office was open very early and the waiting room was comfortable. The nursing staff was very kind and helpful. Although this wasn't my first rodeo (so to speak) at Dr. Donner's office, I was a bit nervous and they put me at ease. I got my test results promptly afterward. I would highly recommend Washington Gastroenterology!"
"Dr Mohan and his staff made my visit go fast and smoothly. This was my second visit (last was 10 years ago). No one wants a colonoscopy. My sister had colon cancer and survived due to the wonderful work of her doctors. A couple of days for prep and the procedure is nothing compared to what she endured. Thank you Dr. Mohan and special thanks to your great staff!"
"This is the best place to go for colonoscopy...they make it very easy...from the prep with all the supplies they give you, which makes doing the prep a piece of cake, all the way thru past the procedure itself...the staff is very professional and very nice and they make you feel comfortable...I highly recommend them.."
"I had a very positive experience with Michelle Hendricks. She is patient, thorough and easy to talk to. I felt like she addressed all of my questions with genuine concern."
"I got what I needed. Professional, knowledgeable and caring. Also my blood pressure did not shoot through the roof because of the terrible traffic. It was an excellent visit."
"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 Leung was very polite and friendly, he explained very clearly the results of my procedure. I would not go anywhere for this type of procedure highly recommended. Thank you doctor."
"Although this was my second time getting a Colonoscopy. I was very nervous. Their staff was VERY FRIENDLYand VERY PROFESSIONAL! Everyone introduced themselves from the time I checked in until I left!!! Dr. Agarwal was very pleasant, laid back and straight to the point. I will recommend this place all family, friends and co-workers !!!"
"My first colonoscopy screening w/ Dr. Leung did not take long. He’s very professional and so is his staff. My procedure was all done a little over an hour. I would definitely recommend Dr. Leung."
"Dr.Manam was on screen at the right time for the apt. I have not had a virtual apt.before..He told me about my situation and answered all my questions..told me to discuss this with my primary physician and get back to him..my dr.thinks I need one more colonoscopy to see if I have any more polyps..so I will follow up...thank you"
"I had a smooth experience with Dr. Friedman at Texas endoscopy. I had a colonoscopy done recently. Didn't experience any discomfort during the visit. Everything went well. It didn't take that long. Spent just a couple of hours at the office. I was able to recover in 2 days post the procedure."
"A pleasant experience despite the reason for the visit…nice office setting and pleasant, competent staff. Dr. Donner will tell it like it is; he did for me, but that’s what doctors are for, isn’t it?"
"My mom is a patient of Dr. Yap. He is knowledgeable and thorough during our visit. He was patient in understanding the history, asked quick and very relevant questions, and gave his opinions and suggestions in a confident manner."
"I was nervous, not a big fan of anything medical….nurses were great, kept me calm, prep work wasn’t bad, IV unnoticeable and I was out and awake in what seemed like 5 minutes. Not at all what I expected….very easy. Talked to the doctor at the beginning quickly so not a ton of interaction with him but the entire process was very easy."
"Dr Katsman was great! Professional and personable, he answered all my questions about my procedure. Everyone at his office helped make the process as quick and easy as possible. I would definately recommend Dr Katsman!"
"Dr. Holderman has treated our family with exceptional care for 15 years. He takes time to listen and advise in a thoughtful and respectful manner. We appreciate is kind and personable treatment."
"As a young crohn’s patient and a crohn’s carrier for 7 years (since 18) it’s scary and worrying to just give your trust to somebody but I did and was lead a stray for 3 years as I fought flare up after flare up. So I decided to switch GI’s and got put under Dr.Holderman. My life has taken the best turn it could and I am not able to keep weight on, work full work weeks, and play football again. Calling Dr. Holdeman Friendly would be a understatement to who he really is. I am thankful I met him."
"Dr Taubman his Anesthesiologist, Assistants and everyone that I interfaced with were friendly, courteous, and so compassionate. This was my third colonoscopy and the treatment is consistent. The staff there at WAGI must do several of procedures like this every day and yet I was treated like I was the only customer they had."
"Dr. Was very comforting and completely understanding of what I have been going through. Gave me resources of what to do next. I highly recommend this Dr. And your needs."
"Kelle Kang has been one of my specialty Doctors for over 35 years. Any time I have a question that concerns my Gastric issues, he is the first person I go to, even though I am told he is not available to see me. He always gets back to me with an answer to the question, often after hours. I would highly recommend him."
"My recent experience has redefined my apprehension of having a colonoscopy. Dr. Taubman & all of his staff were simply amazing. The prep package was equipped with everything necessary to have a successful colonoscopy. The hints for drinking the liquid were perfect & I was able to easily drink it (not at all like my first experience 13 years ago with another doctor/ facility). I was extremely happy with how each & every staff member was professional yet friendly."
"Going through a colonoscopy procedure is not the most enjoyable thing in life for most folks. However, Dr. Taubman and his friendly staff made sure that I understood fully what would take place before, after, and during the procedure. And, a couple of times, notices were sent to my home with the pre-procedure instructions as a reminder of the upcoming appointment. My wife and I were pleased with the way we were treated during the visit. Highly recommend Dr. Taubman and his staff. Roy M."
"Great facility to visit for a colonoscopy. The staff was very personable and knowledgeable about the procedure. Would totally recommend them to others"
"On Friday September 23, 2022 I had a procedure done by Dr. Darren C. Schwartz. The procedure was a colonoscopy. The directions from start to finish were clear & easy to follow. They explained everything to me which put me at ease & comfortable. The procedure took exactly the amount of time they said it would take. There were no surprises & I had no problems at all. Everyone that I came into contact with at the Waldron Endoscopy Center did a wonderful job. I felt well taken cared of. I would definitely recommend Dr. Darren C. Schwartz with any procedure similar the one I had. Robert D. Spoon"
"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!"
"I recently had a colonoscopy with Dr Moussan at Washington Gastroentrology at Sunrise. Dr Moussan and his staff were great (professional and kind) from the first appointment on. They made me feel relaxed and informed. He listened to what I had to say and together we agreed on a plan. I highly recommend Dr Moussan and his staff and will definitely be returning to this facility when it is time to have this procedure again."
"Hated having to drink the stuff the night before! But Doctor Sugar is the best when it comes to giving a Colonoscopy it’s my third one with him! Always feel great when it’s done and I don’t even realize it’s been done! Need a colonoscopy see Doctor Sugar you won’t regret it!"
"Dr Darren Schwartz is the only one of many doctors I have seen that is actually trying to figure out what is causing my symptoms. It's wonderful having someone on your team that truly cares. I woukd highly recommend him!"
"I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr Robert Wohlman in Bellevue Washington. The experience was excellent and I highly recommend him and is amazing staff!"
"Dr. W and his team were terrific. After learning all that goes into getting a colonoscopy, I was kind of dreading the level of discomfort that might happen, but from the moment I entered his office, it was smooth sailing and the highest level of communication and care - not to mention zero discomfort. I would recommend Dr W and his entire team to all my friends and family."
"I have always found you to be very kind and respectful when you have treated me. You have also taken your time when speaking to me and have always listened to my issues and concerns. I can't thank you enough for your great care for me and my mother! It's been a pleasure knowing you!"
"Dr Brown was awesome. It was totally pain free fast, and I really appreciated his talking to me afterwards. His staff was terrific and offered me a warm blanket which was very comforting. Thank you!"
"Actually made a colonoscopy a pleasant experience. I liked the technicians and staff. Answer all my questions Although they were running behind, I was continuously updated me from beginning to the end. Luv Dr Rosenblatt and the staff."
"I can’t imagine having a better experience with a colonoscopy. The preparation instructions are extremely clear, the patient advisors are helpful and the clinic staff are warm, happy and efficient."
"He is an extremely compassionate and understanding doctor. Made me feel heard and all while providing his expertise on my situation. 10/10 very professional"
"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 ."
"I have found Dr. Wohlman and his team to be highly professional, courteous and making every effort to make the patient comfortable. I will recommend Dr. Wohlman to everyone."
"I was referred to WGI because Kaiser couldn't schedule me for the colonoscopy. The entire staff at Washington Gastroenterology was welcoming, professional and competent. This was my first colonoscopy and they took the time to make sure I was comfortable and were ready to answer any questions I had. Dr Wohlman spoke to me before and after the procedure to make sure I understood the results. It was a very good experience. Highly recommended!"
"I went here for my first colonoscopy and this facility and Dr. Hassig were great! A colonoscopy is not something anyone likes to do, but everyone at the Fogel center made the experience so much easier! Thank you all for the great service!"
"Caring people who get back to you right away...answer all my questions..had a telehealth visit with Shayla...she is very responsive and pleasant to talk to"
"I underwent a diagnostic colonoscopy procedure this September 2022, at the Overlake Hospital, Bellevue, WA, under care of Dr. Robert A. Wohlman. I can attest he is an excellent care provider and very highly skilled and trained Gastroenterologist. He is a model physician with excellent interpersonal relationship and bedside manners. If one need a colonoscopy, he is the ideal physician backed by very friendly and empathetic team. I am very thankful for their hands-on care of me that this procedure was very comfortable and quick. Dr. Wohlman called me the day after the procedure to ask me as to how I was feeling. I am very thankful and happy to find him. I highly recommend Dr. Robert A. Wohlman."
"I have been going to Dr Butani for years and have always found him to be attentive and knowledgeable. He excels in making me feel at ease before and after procedures. I highly recommend him for any gastrointestinal services."
"Dr agrawal and team completed my first colonoscopy. I was nervous and uncomfortable with the thought of this procedure but reassured by staff that the experience would be quick and painless. The staff made my visit comfortable and efficiently put me to sleep during the quick procedure. I’m pleased to have completed my first colonoscopy and have no future trepidation about return visits for future re-checks. I advocate that everybody 45 and older complete a colonoscopy per the updated health guidelines regarding colon cancer screening."
"Everything was polite and professional at Dr Schwartz’s office. Everything well explained and comfortable. If you are going for colonoscopy or related procedures then I recommend this office for sure."
"Dr Huang has always been great from the first time I’ve seen him over a year ago and takes the time to listen to understand the issues you are having and figure out how to get things back on track. Seems like it’s hard to find a doctor that has great bedside manner with their patients anymore and Dr Huang most definitely has it!"
"My overall experience with Dr. Agarwal was great even with the staff, from checking-in all the way to recovery. It was very smooth and easy procedure, He very well explained to me how it’s gonna be done but after I was put to sleep didn’t really remember anything else, so that was good for me. I just remember the nurse waking me up telling me I’m good to go... The only thing that could be improved if I may say, was the waiting time after the procedure for counseling. It felt like we have waited well over half an hour but then again it’s understandable there was quite a few of us waiting and he’s only one person to counsel all of us. I’m just glad it’s all done and nothing serious to worry about, so for that I’m grateful."
"Dr. Edwin Lai was very easy to talk to. Discussions about my condition went smoothly and he helped look for a time slot under any doctor available even if it wasn’t himself to get me booked for a procedure as soon as possible. I’m very glad I came to see him."
"Once the prep info was clearly conveyed, the procedure itself & the staff was outstanding. I appreciated Dr Taubman's comments after the procedure to help me understand the results. Thank you to everyone who assisted me. DM Oakes"
"I recently had a colonoscopy done by Dr Holderman. It was a pleasant experience. Everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend his services And his staff."
"Dr. William Holderman has provided me cutting edge service since 1995. His ability to identif and remove the polyps at an early stage has allowed me to still be alive. I would recommend him to anyone with: gastro issues, throat, colon ,rectum,etc digestive issues. When considering my other medical issues,he referred me to a highly a qualified surgeon to add additional confirmation to my diagnosis. The number of locations and hours of operations also make it easier for you to get the medical care that you need when it fits into your schedule and close to your residence. His bedside manner and professional ethics should be taught in med school!"
"Have been a patient with Dr. Moussan for a number of years. He has always explained his findings and any follow up that may be needed. Get all your questions answered in an understandable way. He and the staff are great people."
"Great experience and made me feel better before I even got the results. Dr Brown has a great bedside manner and is very knowledgeable in his field. Thank you and your staff so much Dr Brown."
"I can truthfully say that I never wanted to have a colonoscopy, had anxiety over it and put it off for five years. The only really bad part about having this procedure was drinking all the prep liquid. The actual colonoscopy itself was extremely easy on the patient side. The staff at Washington Gastroenterology was amazing, friendly, fun, and somehow turned a colonoscopy into a good experience. Dr Moussan was also very nice and friendly. If you need this procedure, I would highly recommend this clinic!"
"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 love doctor sugar, been there 3 times for colonoscopy and he’s the best..He does his job good and explains things when you ask.. Not much on talking otherwise .."
"Best endoscopy/colonoscopy dr ever! Great guy, very nice and understanding and gets the job done! Both my colonoscopy and endoscopy were done by him and I had a great experience both times. Definitely made an uncomfortable situation more comfortable! Highly recommend Darren Schwartz!"
"Really easy process. All the horror stories I heard about the prep turned out to be no problem at all with the prep solution and instructions from Dr. W. As much as a colonoscopy can be, it was a good experience."
"Pretty sure that none of us "like" to have a colonoscopy performed on us, but I do want to say that Dr Sugar and all of the medical professionals at WAGi that I came into contact with during my visit were phenomenal! Each one made it as easy as possible. They worked well together as a highly professional team and even though I have Trypanophobia, they put me completely at ease."
"An absolutely lovely experience. Kind and caring staff. Genuinely caring Doctors and nurses and administrative staff. Rare in my experience. My gastrointestinal Choice forever. Thank you Dr Rosenblatt and staff."
"I have been a Patient of Dr. Butani since 2014 and have found him to be Caring and Truly interested in my well being. He never talks down to me, and answers all my Questions in a way I can understand. He discussed my condition with my other Providers so my whole Medical Team at Overlake Hospital are on the same page. I would not Hesitate to Refer My Family and Friends to Dr. Butani, as I know that they would get the Best Care Possible. Michael J. Hightower Sr."
"I was seen on time and had a very thorough interview about the need for my upcoming colonoscopy. The ARNP was extremely knowledgeable and I had full confidence in her explanations."
"Dr. Friedman was very outgoing and friendly during my pre-op office visit. He answered all my questions with warmth and empathy. The day of the colonoscopy procedure, Dr. Friedman and his team did a great job before and after the surgery making me feel at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Friedman!"
"I have had several colonoscopies at other facilities and dread them, because I get very sick and vomit afterwards. My experience was very different at wagi last week. The prep kit that was sent to me about 2 weeks prior to my appointment thoughtfully included a packet of jello and packets of broth, not just the required prep and instructions. I received reminders as the day approached to keep me on track. My visit was seamless from the time I walked in right up to the time I walked out. The team working with me were exceptional, going over my concerns and history. The placement of the i.v. was virtually painless ( Not so at other facilities) In the procedure room I had the treat of seeing the team in action, however brief as the anesthesia kicked in quickly. They were like a well maintained pocket watch with the gears moving smoothly, seamlessly getting me in position, placing the BP cuff on my wrist, the O2 sensor on my finger, then the anesthesia being administered and I remember nothing after that until I was awakened. Even the help I received getting dressed to leave was with great care. To my relief, I felt Great. I did Not get sick and NO vomiting. First time ever! I was able to enjoy the remainder of my day. What a relief to feel good instead of miserable I do have a recommendation regarding the consumption of the prep. I followed directions exactly 8 Oz glass every 5-10 minutes and got really bloated, nausea and vomiting a couple hours after completing the night before half bottle. I have never gotten sick before. The next morning I had no problem as I drank the remaining half at 10 -15 minutes. My one suggestion would be to change the instructions to say drink one 8oz. glass every 15 minutes"
"Prior to my colonoscopy procedure Dr Moussan greet me and ask if I have any question and concern. He’s very professional,very nice personality. I’m thankful for an excellent job done by Dr Moussan and his staff. Rosario Moreno Procedure done on July 07,2022"
"Dr Kang is great! Extremely professional, attentive, with a great attitude and sense of humor! I was very happy with his personality during my visit! Thank you, Dr Kang!"
"Everyone professional so n this team, from the person at the front desk, to the last person I worked with, were exceptional. They were all highly professional and yet very warm and personable. I loved working with a full team of women as well. Very empowering."
"Dr. Sugar was very helpful and offered several suggestions for my problem. I would definitely recommend him and have recommended him to my husband who I’m hoping Kaiser will allow him to be seen by Dr. Sugar."
"I came away from my appt. with Dr. Katsman feeling good about myself, & I was nervous going in. He is a realist, & did not set me goals that I could not attain. Thank you."
"I had a recent medical preventative procedure with Dr. Jason Sugar and his staff in Puyallup,WA. The appointment was easy to schedule; the office & patient Advisor kept me informed on the preparation requirements; the check-in was easy & simple; the staff very friendly & professional; and the procedure & recovery without complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Sugar and his clinic to anyone seeking a colonoscopy."
"While a colonoscopy is not something you want to do, having it done by Dr Katsman's office is the best way to go. The entire process is handled efficiently and professionally. Since this has an involved preparation there are plenty of reminders of what you need to do and an 800 number available for questions 24 hours a day. Dr Katsman's office staff insurers your comfort throughout the actual procedure and follow up. I strongly encourage you to use Dr Katsman's and his office staff for any of the procedures that he does."
"The service that I receive from Dr. Katsman was excellent. Dr. Katsman and the staff were friendly and ensure that I was properly informed about my health and care. I would have no qualms in recommending them to friendly and friends. Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish"
"I have been seeing Dr. Holderman for years. He is a wonderful doctor. He really cares about how you are feeling and will help find solutions if you are having issues. So glad I was referred to him."
"From the appointment scheduling to the release following colonoscopy, everyone was so professional, helpful and nice. I will continue going to Dr Taubman."
"With such an uncomfortable procedure the office was pleasant and made me feel comfortable from the point of entering the office to being ready for discharge. I like how the doctor gave me a refresh of what they found last appointment and what to expect with this appointment. Thank you and see you in 10 years!!"
"I felt very comfortable with this procedure because Dr Jain and the team are very thorough explaining everything and answering questions. They are very professional and I felt well taken care of while there. Follow up care was good as well."
"My experience involved a colonoscopy and I couldn't have been happier with the team. Their support from ordering meds all the way through the results went better than I expected. Very satisfied."
"My recent visit at Dr. Lai’s office was actually fun and informative! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was very courteous, professional, and engaging. Dr. Lai listened to my concerns, he reviewed my symptoms and provided treatment options to narrow down my stomach issues. He was punctual, thorough, and very knowledgeable."
"My experience with Dr. Agarwal and the staff at the Sunrise Gastroenterology Clinic was very positive. I recommend Dr. Agarwal and Clinic to anyone needing their services."
"Doctor Huang, MD is caring, thorough and explicitly professional Gastroenterologist. He is personal and up-to-date with what matters most to those under his care. He has my highest recommendation!"
"My experience with WAGI was excellent. After a sleepless night drinking the colonoscopy prep drink, I checked in with the WAGI receptionist. She was very professional and made me feel at home right away. I got speedy service and was next checked by Holly who was also professional and very efficient. I was soon led into the bay where I would get the colonoscopy. The anesthesiologist was extremely kind and professional. Everyone who I dealt with was very kind, comforting and professional. Dr Huang was the best! He was also kind, comfortin, caring and made me feel comfortable right away. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Huang. Before I left the office he handed me a 10 page explanation of what was found in the colonoscopy and went over it with me in person. The explanation was clear and very helpful. Thank you Dr. Huang and staff at WAGI!!"
"From receptionist to prep nurse to Anastasia person to recovery nurse and person who put me on wheel chair to my car and most of all my kind, educated comforting surgeonDr Wohlman they all are the most kind and caring people I have ever seen ❤️"
"Dr Huang and the staff made my 1st colonoscopy (75 years old) a surprisingly pretty easy, comfortable and unstressful experience . They were informative, and I am confident that I received a very thorough examination."
"My colonoscopy was flawlessly executed with a great supportive and caring staff. I fully recommend them, if your apprehensive or just want a friendly atmosphere."
"Dr Kalke Kang is one of the most amazing Dr's I've experienced. A consummate professional,kind & has a great since of humor. Made me feel comfortable & made it seem like there were no stupid questions that could be asked. He's not a 10... he's a 15 on the high scale!"
"For the first time in 12 years I finally felt seen and heard from a medical professional. Somebody was finally advocating for me to have the chance at the life I deserve. Would indeed highly recommend."
"Dr.Kang is patient to listen to your concerns and very attentive. Will not recommend any unnecessary tests or follow up. But he will honor your request it needed . Very friendly and trustworthy to whom I can talk about my health concerns."
"I really enjoyed waiting in the office looking at all the photos from Hollywood past. The staff was very professional, courteous and kind. They made me feel at ease about the colonoscopy and answering my questions."
"Doctor Ojeaburu is an excellent physician. He is calm therefore keeping you calm. There were no problems during the procedure. I highly recommend Doctor Ojeaburu!"
"I received excellent care and he was very professional and caring, my procedure was a piece of cake thanks to Dr Agrawal and his awesome staff. I would definitely recommend him"
"Always listens and I never feel like I am being rushed. Comes up with intelligent and thought full plans of care. I never feel like I am left hanging without a plan and can ask questions later on patient portal if needed."
"Dr. Taubman is such a compassionate, kind man. As my doctor, he explains procedures in understandable terms. After the procedure, he and all the team are very attentive and helpful. I felt well cared for and have complete confidence in Dr. Taubman and his team."
"These people really know what they are doing, they're pros. The worst part of it was actually preparing for the colonoscopy the day before. Virtually no pain after the procedure. One moment I was lying in a hospital bed waiting for the procedure, the next moment I woke up and it was already done. The doctor pointed out things in the camera images and explained what they were. I would definitely go back to have Colonoscopies done there in the future."
"As a new patient the staff and Doctor respected me with much care and kindness and I thank them for the care I received! I know Hospitals are always clean ,this place is if not but one of the cleaning places I seen and that really surprised me seriously !"
"My husband passed away from Covid in January 2022. I took him to WAGI three times over the last decade, and I always thought he would be here to support me through my first colonoscopy. So I knew this was going to be an emotional experience for me. I was so impressed with the entire process from beginning (scheduling my appt) to end (the procedure and discharge). Dr. Moussan and the entire staff were very helpful and kind. I highly recommend WAGI."
"Their computer system was down for three days before my appointment and still was not up and running, so they scrambled to get exam rooms assigned. Their IT department had a whole weekend to solve the problem and didn’t. Dr. Brown was very thorough and asked good questions and ordered various tests to get the answers. Post exam I received a letter (by snail mail) at Sing my test was normal but not saying which test. When I asked if there was anything I could do to avoid pancreatic cancer, he succinctly said, “Go on a low-fat diet”. This was not enough or what I was looking for."
"The Virtual meeting was disappointing, I prefer face to face encounter. The Virtual lacks 1:1 reality. I am concerned with this upcoming invasive exam, especially since my PCP has expressed concern for an accidental of rupture of my colon given my age, 82."
"The medical practice is a 10. The business side, a 5. I experienced a number communication failures in making appointments. In addition, I was billed twice, and not reimbursed for the duplicate payment. A minor point: i don’t see the need to communicate through a web portal if I am not a “regular” customer. This practice is a specialty; I will not use the services but infrequently at best, so all the rigamarol re: setting up, remembering password, etc. is not worth the effort."
"As great an experience as one can have getting a colonoscopy. This was my first time. Dr. Friedman and his team were pretty AMAZING!! Not only did he explain the procedure in detail, he also answered all my questions. Most importantly, they were incredibly efficient! They didn't have me waiting for hours. My husband brought his laptop to work while he waited. He didn't get any work done. I was in and out that quickly. I would highly recommend Dr. Friedman."
"Dr. Huang is a very caring and professional Doctor. He always goes the extra mile when it comes to my health issues. His staff is just as caring and professional as he is. Whether I am calling the office, or having a colonoscopy, a blood draw, or having a phone or in person appointments, EVERYONE in his office has treated me with care and respect. I wish all medical professionals were like this."
"Went to Dr manam a few years back for an endoscopy so when my primary caregiver said I needed to go in for a colonoscopy I knew just the doctor I wanted to see. Dr madam staff is always courteous and very helpful with any information or questions that I may need. I would recommend him to anyone in need of his services."
"I've been seeing Dr. Moussan since 2009. I am very pleased with his care and trust him with my life. The staff is helpful and caring. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else."
"Dr Moissan was very personable. Prior to the procedure he came in to ask if I had any questions or concerns, most doctors leave that up to nurses to confront the patient prior to a procedure ."
"Dr. Moussan put me at ease as soon as he walked into the room. Colonoscopies are never a fun experience. He was so kind, thoughtful and patient. Took the time to answer all my questions. I was very impressed with Washington Gastroenterology - and especially Dr. Moussan. I would highly recommend him!"
"I was very satisfied with my colonoscopy experience. Dr Huang explained the procedure before hand, and he gave me the results afterwards. He answered all questions very patiently and was very prof. All his staff, assistants, nurses were friendly and kind."
"Couldn't ask for a better doctor. He was great at our consultation. Answered any and all questions that pertained to my situation. When it came time for my procedure I felt like I was in great hands. I highly recommend Dr. Jeremiah and his staff."
"Dr. Rosenblatt is a great listener and takes her time with you during appointments. I also appreciate how easy communication is in the patient portal & with the nursing staff."
"One amazing doctor! I am so glad that I met her (All thanks to Dr. Clark for introducing me to her). She has been super helpful, very knowledgable, kind and patient. I feel so safe with her. Highly recommend this doctor to everyone with GI Issues. Thank you Dr. Grandhe!"
"Dr. Grandhe took good care while doing the procedures like endoscopy and colonoscopy, and was very good in identifying the root cause and providing the medication. They hospital staff was taking good care."
"I was scared to death of the idea of having a colonoscopy. But the doctor and his staff were amazing it was just the opposite of what I thought it was going to be. I highly recommend them"
"Kim ((PA) is the best. She presents options and throughly explains the consequences of each. My experiences have been the same whether it is a Tele health or in office visit. If I have any complaint it is it so difficult to get a timely appointment."
"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."
"The entire staff was helpful, and very pleasant. They really care about your experience. The follow up is prompt. I would recommend this Provider to anyone. Great team of Professionals."
"I have known Dr. Wholman since 1987 when I was just 17 years old. That’s when my Ulcerative Colitis first appeared. He has always been attentive to my concern over the 35 years he has been treating me & I will go to no one else until he finally retires, which I hope is a long time from now!!!"
"I have been a patient at WAGI for over 15 years. Dr Selinger and all of the staff are exceptional in providing care each time I have had a procedure."
"I have had several procedures done by Dr. Schwartz over the past four years, all with excellent outcomes. I have found him to be very professional and knowledgeable, while also being patient and communicative. I have every confidence in his care and expertise. The entire staff was kind and helpful, which makes every interaction feel calm and comfortable. I have the highest regard for this practice and would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking high quality gastroenterology care."
"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."
"Very well organized and efficient clinic. The procedure and results were explained thoroughly and I appreciated the prompt call with the pathology results. My only complaint is not being able to get in more quickly for a follow up visit to address my continuing symptoms."
"Front desk staff was absolutely amazing !! Super welcoming and helpful as well as the nurses. Some of the doctors I would recommend hands down. The particular doctor I had when I went was horrid. Super rude and did not listen at all. When I expressed how I felt to the front desk at the end, they got me scheduled with another doctor immediately and very soon even with their busy schedule. I would recommend to friends and family and also remind them that if there is an issue with your doctor speak up because they will help !"
"My experience has always been very good, very informative, always patient and listening to my what I'm saying about my symptoms. Always very attentive to my questions."
"Dr. Friedman conducted a colonoscopy for me which went very smoothly. His support team were super friendly and knowledgeable. The waiting and preparation took about 1 hour, while the actual procedure lasted 35 minutes. I felt perfectly fine after the procedure and was back to usual routine within couple of hours. Highly recommended"
"Absolute best place to get a Colonoscopy, I was super nervous at first but after the procedure was done idk what I was so worried about, the doctors were the best and made sure I was super comfortable, they were also very communicative about everything, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!"
"I recently had a colonoscopy at Washington Gastroenterology and I highly recommend them. All their personnel from the front office staff, the nurses, anesthesiologist, and doctor were all friendly, polite and most of all caring people. The bowel prep procedure the morning of the colonoscopy wasn’t going well but they were able to help and assist me by scheduling a later time that day and helping me complete the bowel prep so I wouldn’t have to reschedule further out. This was the second time in 10 years I’ve used them and I will definitely continue with their services in the future"
"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."
"I had been putting off a colonoscopy for 5 years. The staff were all very professional and put me at ease. Dr. Holderman and staff were outstanding. So for all your colon needs I recommend."
"Had a colonoscopy, extremely clean facility, knowledgeable, personable and friendly staff. The whole visit went very smoothly, start to finish, in and out in under 2 hours"
"Excellent colonoscopy experience …. really! I continue to recommend this group to my family and friends. Every team member i interacted with was efficient and kind. Even though i will soon be moving 2.5 hours away , i plan to return here for my next procedure!"
"Been with GI group for three years. Had nasty effective procedures that both times caught my pre-cancerous polyps before causing permanent damage. I’m very grateful for that."
"I recently had an online appointment with Dr. Sugar. I was extremely pleased that he was able to make me feel as though I was in his office and was getting amazing care. I have the upmost confidence that the problems I'm experiencing will be resolved by him. He's a great and knowledgeable doctor."
"I was expressed how the entry to the lobby is locked do not invite those who just want to wander in the office! The MA or RN , Alma was very nice and professional, very down to earth. Justin the NPR was very professional and down to earth!! He was through with different tests i had in the past and possible next colonoscopy. Also other problems I have and now are gone. Just gave me warm "fuzzy "feeling!!"
"From the front office person to Nurse Correy and Dr. Justin... They answered any and all my questions... When you need their services... This is the place."
"The P.A. was very courteous, listened well, and took the time to answer all my concerns and questions . She explained why she was certain of her diagnosis and why we should continue the treatment and she discussed medication side effects and long term issues with medication. The visit was all I could ask for."
"Excellent place to get professional medical care. Staff is friendly and courteous. Dr. Is very intelligent and knows what he's talking about with a good bedside manner. He answered all my questions and took time to make sure I was fully informed on everything I needed to know. Thank you Dr. Ojeabur!!!"
"Going in for a colonoscopy is never fun, but I would highly recommend the Issaquah Washington. Gastroenterology! They are all so fun and friendly and puts you at ease. Everything is clearly explained and you have lots of time to ask questions. When I was done, I felt like I had just woken from a lovely nap."
"Dr. Kalle Kang and the whole staff are great - very knowledgeable, skilled and professional. The colonoscopy procedure (before, during and after) went well. Dr. Kang and his team have my total trust and confidence - they're the best!"
"I had my colonoscopy done at Washington Gastroenterology. Dr. Yap and the whole team there took fantastic care of me providing the absolute highest quality of care I can imagine."
"It is difficult to write a good review about a colonoscopy, as the process of preparing for the procedure is pretty unpleasant. That said, the procedure itself was made easy by the excellent treatment I received by my doctors, nurses, and other attending staff. The follow-up was timely and made me feel cared for."
"I am absolutely blown away by the staff at Wagi. They are very professional, caring, friendly and deliver top notch care. Dr. Yap is one the the best physician’s I’ve come across. I was treated with respect and dignity. He was very through and made me feel well cared for. This place is the real deal. Highly recommended."
"I didn't expect to rate my colonoscopy, but I was as pleased with this experience as one could be. Communication is very clear leading up to the appointment. And on the day itself, the staff was caring and friendly. It's clear they know people dread this appointment, and they do their best to make you comfortable. While it was a very quick process, I never felt like one of many. I felt cared for. To top it off, I wound up here based on my insurance pointing me to the facility because it receives excellent reviews while charging what's considered a fair price. Get your screening, and know you're in good hands."
"I was really nervous for my endoscopy but my doctor and nurses were amazing and helped put my mind at ease. They make your needs important and make your stay comfortable."
"The whole process was exceptionally well managed. Everyone was well organized and very pleasant. When they learned of my allergy to a certain medication routinely used in their anesthesia process, they regrouped and solved the issue smoothly. Well done!"
"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."
"Everyone, from the reception desk to Dr. Donner himself, was extremely helpful and kind. I can’t say I enjoy getting a colonoscopy, but I do enjoy the cheerfulness of the entire staff. A special shout-out to the nurses who prepared me for the procedure and who helped with my recovery! 👏🏻👍"
"I needed a colonoscopy after putting it off for 11 years. I have a family history of colorectal cancer. It has claimed the lives of three of my relatives and my sibling had precancerous polyps. I had a colonoscopy 16 years ago and was told to come back in five years, but had been putting it off due to the prep being so horrible. The doctor I had seen previously at Waldron Endoscopy Center in Tacoma had retired during this time. I made an appointment at the Sunrise location as it is close to my home, but when I showed up for my appointment, the prep wasn’t complete. After not eating for three days, I was desperate not to have to start the prep over. Luckily, they had an opening for the next day at Waldron and I booked the appointment. I went home with more prep and went to my appointment the next day. From the receptionists, to the three nurses I worked with, to the anesthesiologist and the MD who performed the procedure, I could have not been treated any better. The trust I felt in them was immediate. They had everything down to a science. They treated me with respect and caring that I hadn’t felt anywhere before. They listened to my concerns and eased my fears. The nurse put the IV where I asked her too, as I had a bad past experience with an IV in my hand. The nurses who were with me during the procedure were impressive, too. I felt total trust in the nurses, anesthesiologist and MD. Everyone was so nice and thoughtful. I recommend Waldron wholeheartedly. I trust them with my life, which is a big deal after spending a only a couple of hours with them. Luckily, I got the colonoscopy, as they found two polyps, and I had never had any before. They were removed and I don’t have to have another colonoscopy for five years. Please make an appointment with them if you have been putting it off. You won’t regret it. Colon polyps take a long time to grow into cancer, so this procedure can save your life!! The polyps are removed before they have a chance to turn cancerous. I admit, the prep is terrible, but it’s definitely worth living years longer!!"
"The entire facility is SPOTLESS... All of the rooms had framed movie scenes that put your mind at ease of why you were even there. All of the staff, from the receptionist to the nurses to Dr. Holderman we're very friendly & will take really good care of you!"
"This place is truly compassionate. I needed to get a colonoscopy. I had done the necessary preparation but due to limited food intake, I went in with a horrible migraine. The staff took excellent care of me. They made me comfortable and ran an IV with fluids to help rehydrate. I cannot believe how they went above and beyond caring for me - and a big bonus was the nurse who inserted the needle to get the IV started did it with just one pain free stick...and the next morning no bruise or mark where she stuck me!! Everyone there is kind and wonderful!!"
"The Waldron center was great from the admitting folks that make the whole place run perfectly they were courteous polite, the nurses were amazing the doctor was awesome I couldn't have asked for a better place to have her procedure done I'd recommend everyone to go there I felt comfortable no anxiety and I think if I did they would reassure me and make me comfortable in the procedure went well fast and the staff that checked me out was extremely nice had all the information at hand and they made sure I had no unanswered questions again they were just awesome all the way around and you got to hand it to the staff they have saved probably so many lives by doing a procedure as a colonoscopy so without them a lot of people would be suffering thank you again"
"From the time that my appointment was set Fogel Endoscopy was on the ball. They immediately sent me a link to purchase the items needed (far more convenient than being given a list of items to go find on my own). They sent reminders, videos and very clear paperwork on what to expect, what to do, what NOT to do and made the entire experience very easy. The staff were all efficient and friendly. If you are in need of any of the services they offer I would highly recommend them. Thank you!"
"No one wants to have a colonoscopy, but, everyone at The Fogel Endoscopy Center was very polite, very friendly, and made it a really easy experience."
"I've got to tell you getting a colonoscopy is not fun. In fact there is nothing worse in my opinion. The issue is the PREP! I had to do a double prep... An entire weekend without solid food. But I made it thru to the appointment. Now for the real review. I have had a number of these over the years and can't say enough about Washington Gastroenterology. Their staff from the check in desk thru the recovery nurse and everyone in-between was professional and personable. The procedure itself lasted around 2 minutes... or at least that's how it felt as I was out in 30 seconds, and awoke in a recovery bed after however long the procedure lasted. WA GA's computer/text based info, schedules and reminders plus nurses on call for any possible questions made the prep much better as after a few questions I knew I was doing the prep correctly... don't want to go thru that until the next one! I have great confidence in WA GA and promise you will as well. *If your doctor says to have a colonoscopy, don't worry... and definitely don't say no... it will save your life, and is much less of a problem than if you wait until a cancerous polyp goes thru the wall, requiring surgery. I don't even want to think of this potentially happening."
"This was the best possible experience I could have for a first-time colonoscopy! Everyone at this facility is really great, and accommodating! Thank you all:-) :-)"
"Madison, Sherry and the team in the operating room were absolutely wonderful with putting me at ease and being extremely positive. The check-in was efficient as well as every part of the process through the time I was released. Dr. Hassig was professional, to the point and very skilled. No problems with anesthetic wearing off or waking up during procedure, or any soreness or complications afterward. All in all, a very good experience / as good as it could be. I would recommend this clinic to everyone when they are of age for a colonoscopy."
"From the moment I walked in the staff was professional. Then when I was pulled back the nursing staff was not only professional but they were caring and Dr Sugar was kind and answered all of my questions they made sure I felt at ease and made me laugh. As I was being put under they talked to me and made me feel safe and I’m a very anxious person so I very much appreciated that! They even came out after I was awake to check on me! I would highly recommend Dr Sugar and his staff!"
"The staff and Doctor at Washington GI was amazing. They made a stressful visit so easy. Every step of the way was layed out and easy to follow. The Nurses were so kind and welcoming, the Anesthesiologist was very comforting and the Doctor was very professional and thorough. I appreciate all of them so much."
"Having a colonoscopy can be a very scary thing but this team goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and understand what is going to happen. TONS of communication in advance of the procedure and conveniently, everything was mailed in advance. I had no discomfort or pain. We even laughed and shared funny things right up to the point that the Anesthesia took me to the land of sleep. The bedside manner afterwards while in recovery was amazing too. Not just the nurses checked on but the the doctor and the Anesthesiologist came to check on me too!! I would recommend them to ANYONE in my family and that I love dearly! They were AWESOME!!"
"Dr.Kang has extreme expertise as a gastroenterologist and his staff were kind and caring and very efficient. Not that anyone loves having a colonoscopy but Dr. Kang and his staff made the experience excellent. I am grateful my primary physician recommended Dr. Kang."
"Dr Moussan and all his medical staff are absolutely wonderful. I am so thankful for wonderful care. Last year Dr had found colon cancer and I was only 37 years old. I had surgery and it’s now gone. I thank God for such a wonderful Dr and staff. Thank you!"
"As older transgender male having a colonoscopy for the 1st time, I was a bit nervous about how I would be treated. The entire staff at the Sunrise location was wonderful and very respectful to both myself and my partner. I was upfront from the beginning with them and they responded appropriately. I highly recommend them."
"I've had two endoscopies with esophageal dilation performed at this location. Everyone is so friendly and wonderful there! They make sure you know what will take place, and make you as comfortable as possible. My procedures have always gone smoothly and I always get a detailed report with photos afterwards. Many thank you's to all of the medical staff there!"
"Everyone was kind, courteous and professional at this clinic. Don't hesitate to make an appointment or recommend one to a friend or family member in need of a colonoscopy or endoscopy."
"The ladies are awesome! I was very nervous being my first colonoscopy, and the nurse said we will take good care of you; I am a very observant patient, and I was so impressed with the medical staff and Dr Mussan, they all were so pleasant and reassuring, attentive even as you are woken from the procedure, the medical staff are so professional and concerned for your well being… They even called the next day to make sure you are fine.. Kudos!! To this clinic! I am so appreciative to medical staff that care!"
"Amazing I felt so comfortable with all the staff & the doctor’s, I would recommend this place to anyone needing any gastric problems or a colonoscopy."
"An outstanding place to have a colonoscopy procedure. Easy prep, impressive customer service, friendly staff, and skilled doctor. This is an impressive organization and I highly recommend them. Communication was spot on throughout, directions for prep were clear, and I could not think of one thing I wish would have gone differently. Five Stars, indeed!"
"Great team of caregivers. Kept me informed of every step along the way for my procedure, and made the procedure as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Very professional yet friendly. Highly recommend them."
"I consider the team that just performed my procedure to be top notch from scheduling and prep to intake, through anesthesia, procedure and then recovery. Everyone was on their game, working hard and efficiently while keeping me safe, comfortable and feeling well cared for. Pre and post communication was all spot on IMO."
"I saw Ashley Davis here in Covington, and she was fabulous and made me feel comfortable. And she answered all my questions. I was greeted by a wonderful staff. If you need a gastroenterologist I highly recommend here."
"Let’s be honest-nobody looks forward to a colonoscopy. A great experience? No, but the entire staff was great. They were friendly yet professional. They answered all of my questions and did a great job."
"The staff and Dr. Brown are professional, compassionate, skilled, and kind. Even the prior prep mix is much better than 7 years ago. They do an awesome job guiding you through what could be an embarrassing and uncomfortable procedure."
"My second procedure at this facility. They are fantastic! Everyone treated me as though I was their only patient (which I wasn't). I could not recommend them more enthusiastically!"
"From the beginning of my appointment to the end, the experience was amazing. Everyone was wonderful, kind, caring and very professional. Thank you for making the experience bearable..."
"Dr. Donner and staff were amazing! Very professional and made my first time in an amazing experience! Staff from beginning to end was the best! Thank you everyone! 💯👏🙂"
"Everyone was very pleasant and informant every step of the way! They were also reassuring. If you take time to read the paperwork they send, you understand what is expected of you. A gentleman below obviously did Not read it as he seemed to be surprised re check in procedures. As a patient myself who has also been vaccinated, I appreciated the precaution and that it was not filled with extra people. My husband wanted to be with me but understood why. I also received a follow up call the following day to make sure I was doing well and asked if I had any questions for them. Thank you for your professionalism as well as your care during this crazy covid time."
"This was the most comfortable uncomfortable experience I’ve ever had. So much so that I wanted to leave a review. No one is excited about a colonoscopy, especially the first one. From the very beginning their email interaction was great. They had very clear instructions and regular interaction as the day approached. The day of, nothing but kindness, understanding and complete professionalism. From the moment I stepped into their office, every single interaction was positive and assuring. I was so incredibly impressed. Even the office music was excellent! (Seriously, I forgot to asked about your playlist.) Bravo Peninsula Endoscopy Center. Bravo indeed."
"Although the prep for the colonoscopy is no fun to take, the staff, the anesthesiologist and doctor were very reassuring and competent. After the anesthesia started, I woke up in recovery and never felt a thing."
"Online- info was gathered about my meds and drug. Prior to MD visit. Call online went smoothly with directions provided. I will receive f/I appt and advice in my EMail."
"This was my first Telehealth phone conversation. The receptionists were so helpful and made sure everything was set up smoothly for the conference. They were so efficient in their job. The doctor was so helpful and was making sure I get the best care as possible!"
"No one looks forward to a Colonoscopy but the procedure at Washington Gastroenterology was as smooth as can be imagined. The vibe of the staff is that of people who love their work and it shows in their interactions and professionalism. I would highly recommend Dr. Yap and the entire crew at Washington Gastroenterology to anyone ."
"Excellent care during recent colonoscopy. Attentive staff, good COVID protocols, nice work flow. The prep work was actually especially good. Good Rx which made the process easier than I recall from my last procedure."
"When I have to get a colonoscopy all over again (next one recommended in 10 years), I'd be happy to go to Eastside Endoscopy Center. Well-organized with clear instructions, using email and telephone, they made sure I was prepared for what to expect. The center called me the day before to remind me of appointment and address questions. I was so well prepared, I now view Gatorade a whole new way, a running joke for the well-prepped crowd. Dr. Mohan was friendly toward me and concerned about preventitive-health maintenance. The nurse anesthetist provided the propofol that helped me wake up in recovery with no memory of the procedure. Thank you. Thank you. All of the nurses were kind and considerate from intake to recovery. Eastside Endoscopy Center demonstrates what caring and professional medical and nursing teams look like. Thank you. Thank you. If I smoked, I'd have a cigarette."
"I had a gastroscopy with dr Butani. I was amazed by a very lean and effective proses flow of everything that was happening during the procedure. Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, on time, everything was explained to me. I got a detailed report from the dr right after the procedure and a set of paperwork to go with instructions. I am a very happy patient: time and effectiveness are very important to me on top of their medical expertise and professionalism."
"Staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, and physician were excellent here, very friendly, competent, and concerned with my comfort. I could hear all of them visiting while I waited in the prep area, and they sounded so easy and comfortable with each other, like they have an excellent working relationship, and that is important for all of us. And Dr. Rees-Lui came and spoke to me before the procedure, and she was wonderful when I had to call at 2a.m. during prep with issues I thought would prevent the procedure taking place. I felt very safe having my procedure with this group."
"I normally do not review medical clinics as it can be fairly private, however I really think this clinic deserves a positive review. I had to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy. I am very difficult IV stick so I showed up early. They got me in with a nurse anesthetist and literally on her first try she got a working IV (Katie Conley) I believe. This made a huge difference especially since I do not feel well and am really depleted. Though I came early to prepare them for multiple IV attempts the entire team was so welcoming and helpful. Thanks so much for making this difficult experience go a bit smoother."
"The gold standard for colon cancer, a colonoscopy from Dr Wolman keeps me safe so I can continue to enjoy my time with my precious grandkids. Competent, professional, nw gastroenterology does a wonderful job and has the entire procedure optimized for your benefit. We are lucky to have them here in our community! Marsha Thrall"
"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!!)"
"I was seen promptly. The ARNP was very professional and we had a very good conversation about my PCP concerns. She heard my point of view and had an other answer for a different approach to testing."
"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 Colonoscopy from the prep to end result was not at all bad. My first colonoscopy 5yrs ago was hideous. Obviously I had reservations having another one done. However the prep was not bad & My Dr & office staff took such good care of me. Thank you Dr. Agarwal & the staff at Sunrise Gastroenterology."
"The office was friendly and efficient. Everything before the procedure was fully explained. Once I was in the procedure room everyone was set up and had me ready within 5 mins or less. Good experience here."
"The home preparation is never fun, but the staff and doctors made the surgery procedure go smoothly as possible. Never any discomfort, and smooth recovery and post debriefing."
"My first impression of WAGI was, it is a clean environment, inviting surroundings and a sense of welcoming from the staff. The front office staff was prompt, professional and they have a sense of cohesion with the medical staff. Intake was quick and comforting. The nurses, the anesthesiologist and the doctor were genuine, thoughtful and knowledgeable. I knew I was in good hands during my procedure. I appreciate them all for looking after my well being."
"From the front desk and the intake to the actual procedure and the post-procedure, everybody is kind and efficient. They answered all of my questions and allayed every concern. For an unpleasant procedure, they really work hard to make their patients comfortable."
"They make what is an uncomfortable experience comfortable! Cheri my nurse was top notch . Thorough in explaining the procedure and friendly. Dr Huang was thorough and I felt confident in his expertise."
"The process went as smoothly as possible, They gave tips that were very helpful for the prep also they took very good care of me during the Exam. Very pleased with their work."
"Had a colonoscopy today and everyone was wonderful! Thank you to Dr. Huang and the entire staff from the front desk to the recovery nurses for making this such a pleasant experience! Everone appears to love their jobs and were so friendly and reassuring. Highly recommend this center 100%. The facility was also very clean and organized."
"Everyone took time to answer questions and made me feel very cared for. My upper endoscopy went super smoothly . A special thank you to Dr. Taubman and all staff at Fogel."
"Always a “joy” to have a colonoscopy with you. But the staff makes it as comfortable as possible. I wish there was someway to make the prep more comfortable but can’t suggest an alternative. I was a bit annoyed by the many emails/texts that I received - all saying the same thing. But I dutifully read them, thinking there might be something new. Nope. I did have questions about what I could eat prior to going into deep blah mode; the paperwork was not clear. That would have been helpful."
"Arrived on time and I was greeted by the receptionists. All of the employees were outstanding and gave me instructions on what to do. The doctor can in and greeted me. He was very pleasant and told me what to expect. This was not my first colonospopy so I knew what was involved. Before I knew it I was waking up from the procedure. I had a terrific sleep. I want to thank all of the nurses and assistants for an outstanding job. Dr. Holderman made the procedure as pleasant as can be. There's no and ands butts about it."
"Entire staff was very professional and pleasant. Though I hope I don't need another colonoscopy any time soon, I will certainly do it here when I do!"
"There is a real team spirit here! I witnessed a friendly staff who work well together. I was treated with kindness and respect from each person who really put me at ease. They were very careful about keeping me medically safe and well informed. I have used their services before and plan to see them again in ten years for my next colonoscopy."
"Appointment was on time, staff for check in was very professional, compassionate and helpful. Medical staff were also knowledgeable, professional and excellent in the care they gave me. Every procedure was explained before it was performed. The colonoscopy was done while I was totally sedated. Thank you all for the compassion and caring you give your patients!"
"When I first walked in they were very very nice , once I was in the room again my experience was very positive I was at ease with the exam that was going to happen. Everybody was so nice even the anesthesiologist make me feel very comfortable ."
"This was my first colonoscopy. I was a little nervous. Everyone was very detailed and thorough in explaining the procedure etc. I woke up and it was all over and I didn't feel a thing."
"I was dreading my endoscopy and colonoscopy. It was seamless. Everyone was professional. If it wasn’t for the colon prep, I wouldn’t mind doing it again."
"Everyone that I was in contact with was kind, professional and made me feel like I was important. Dr. Lee was very gracious with his time and gave me a full explanation of the results of the exam before I left the facility. Thank you all very much for making a difficult day better."
"Everyone is extremely professional and always making sure you feel comfortable and everyone asks if you have any questions along the way. They're quick and efficient but I never felt rushed. Dr. Donner is right to the point but not in a rude way. He doesn't beat around the bush. I was very nervous as I have a fear/uneasy-ness about needles and the nurse tried her best to distract me and helped keep me calm. As much as prepping for a colonoscopy is not fun, everyone here made the process of the procedure quick and easy."
"This was my 2nd colonoscopy at Waldron. They are an efficient, friendly and respectful staff all-around; made me feel comfortable during my visit. Had almost no wait between checking in to vitals to procedure. Two hours total!"
"Wonderful staff, all very kind, interested in my comfort, informed me of and delays and overall a very pleasant experience for something (1st colonoscopy) which brought about some uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. 5 stars!"
"Fogel or "WAGI" (Washington Gastroenterology) is a top notch provider of cancer prevention! It isn't the most pleasant inspection a body needs but they do it with care and professionalism. They made sure I knew how to ensure they could do the best inspection possible, and it went well. They found another polyp (like they did 5 years ago) and nipped it in the bud so it can't cause me any problems in the future. Thanks Dr. Lee!"
"This was my first colonoscopy! Despite the dread and horror stories you hear, it was a great experience. I’m a fellow RN, who also works pre-op and recovery, therefore, I have pretty high standards. Waldron Endoscopy center did an exceptional job keeping me informed, educated and comfortable. All the staff were professional, friendly and great at their job. I highly recommend Dr. William Holderman. Although, I was asleep for his part of the procedure, he introduced himself prior and updated me after! Get your screening folks! It isn’t that bad!"
"Dr William Holderman and staff were excellent. They all are professional, very friendly, and excellent at what they do! Dr Holderman is down to earth, very skilled at what he does and does everything in a personable way. The facility and equipment are are so update and clean. It is an impressive facility. I could not have been happier and more impressed with my experience."
"I had an extended prep colonoscopy yesterday at the Waldron Endoscopy Center. From the clean and spacious waiting area, to the entire staff, to the procedure room, everything about this procedure was professional and efficient. Getting a colonoscopy is certainly not fun, but these folks made it seem pretty easy."
"Was a lot more relaxed and stress free then I was expecting. The staff was amazing, friendly, and answered any questions I had. In the procedure room they were so friendly and calm and definitely helped lower my anxiety level for having a colonoscopy and an endoscopy."
"For a colonoscopy it was actually a great experience. The facility is spectacular, their artwork made you feel like you weren't even in a medical office. Very upscale place. Sparkling clean. The entire staff were friendly, courteous, accommodating, calming and helpful. The anesthesia was way better than last time, 6 yrs ago at a different facility. Here, I was up n at em after I woke up immediately after the procedure. Went shopping, didn't even need a nap. No grogginess! They called to check on me today too:)"
"The staff made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and it was all over very quickly. My only disappointment is that I couldn't walk all around the office to look at all the amazing Hollywood photos! I understand, though, that was because of COVID-19. And thank you to all for your concern and I hope you are all vaccinated!"
"I would highly recommend them, to anyone who has any kind of colon issues. My procedure was swift and very well preformed. All the staff was very professional and caring, the preparation packet was put together very professionally, for the patients to follow step by step."
"From the minute I walked in, to the minute I wobbled out, the entire staff did all they could to make the experience as pleasant as possible, which considering that a colonoscopy is not exactly at the top of anybody’s favorite experience list (right?), is really saying a lot. The staff, from Dr. Donner, to McKenzie, to the receptionist, to the nurses and anesthesiologist in the OR, and even other staff walking by, were professional, very friendly, and informative. The whole team obviously enjoy and take pride in what they do. Highly recommended."
"I was extremely nervous and anxious about my procedure. However, all the instructions were easy to follow. There was support for my questions. The prep was not as bad as I expected, which I was very happy about. The day of the procedure everything went exactly as was laid out in the information provided. The staff were wonderful. While it's not something I would want to have to do regularly, all my fears and apprehension have been put to rest. If you have to have a colonoscopy I would highly recommend WA Gastroenterology."
"I was EXTREMELY nervous to have my first colonoscopy but I knew the importance of having it done. Dr. Sugar and his staff were kind and considerate and almost made it, dare I say, fun! They were all so jovial during the process and put me right at ease. I especially loved the anesthesiologist. Historically, medical providers have a hard time with my veins but he made it look easy. Great work!"
"I was really impressed with how easy they made this procedure. I was contacted frequently via text with instructions(what to eat, have a driver to pick you up, etc)before the appointment and received a phone call from one of the staff after the procedure to follow up in case I had any questions or issues. The whole experience was very professional and efficient."
