Very happy I found Gastroenterology Associates and Dr. Haydek. The practice communication is fantastic and everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Everyone I came in contact with was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Dr. Haydek is communicative and thorough. He’s a great listener and strives to make his patients comfortable and well informed. I can’t recommend him enough.

Professional and friendly staff Very concerned with my well-being. After discovering how sick anesthesia made me, went above and beyond so I didn’t get sick this time.
