The care provided by Gastrointestinal Associates, was outstanding. Dr. Newman was so personable and comforting. The front desk employee, the nurses, anesthesia team, etc. were all so kind and professional. A well run office from top to bottom! Thank you again for the care that you provided me.
Such great care by personable and professional staff. It's not a very dignified procedure but everyone from front desk to physicians made it very easy. Felt very cared for. Thank you Endoscopy Center and Gastroenterology Associates.
The experience was absolutely amazing. The sweet receptionist was a million out of a million. She made this appointment extremely pleasant by being so very nice and kind , and she was that way to everyone who walked through the door. The nurses and doctors were very kind and pleasant as well.

I had a failed experience for my colonoscopy. It was my fault. I love Dr. Mystry. She’s smart and explain things to me in a way that I could understand them, and that was better than I was previously explained by another gastroenterologist. I also want to say that the on-call doctor that night, Dr Ergan, was the kindest doctor I have ever spoken to - when I was trying to get some help on the second attempt that Dr. Mystry Made to have a second colonoscopy. His suggestion that I should /could possibly be hospitalized for the prep and have the colonoscopy through a Nasal tube is what I would like to have now.
