"My name is Alex Galleguillos and a few years ago Dr. Albright saved my life but that's another story. He's is a caring doctor who listens to your problems, he then gives his diagnosis and offers options. He's not a doctor that tells you, or doesn't show concern like some doctors. He Always has a smile 😃 and Greets his patients. Great bed side manners which most doctors doesn't have. They rush in and rushes out. Not caring about your feelings just making their money for the day. You can't ask for a better doctor. I'm glad to have Dr. Albright as my Gasto doctor 😇."

"I just completed the colonoscopy procedure with Dr. Jenkins and staff. I found this to be a well-run, friendly and proficient group. I was first in line, so I can't comment on wait time because as soon as I got there they went through my paperwork, processed me in, got me set up with the gown and did all of the hookups and rolled me in to the procedure room. As soon as I came out from under anesthesia, Dr. Jenkins gave me the results. Of course they also went over the results with my wife later on. I had contact with the receptionist, 3 nurses, the anesthethesist, and Dr. - Thumbs up to all hands on deck."
"Good service, Great Doctors that actually listen before treating. Had a colonoscopy that went smooth and the staff was very professional. The only negative is their lack of use of the online registration that you had to repeat the entire process when you get to the office. What’s the point?"
"This maybe the best GI I have had over the last 15 years. As a crohns patient she is on top of her game with knowledge and medicine. She is the only GI to get me back to myself. Great bedside manor and really cares about who you are and how hot day to day life is related to your health. The waits are long due to the large GI clinic, which has been pretty normal with the 4 other GIs I have had. She is worth the wait. Thank you Dr. Dugan."

"The test has never been bad the preparation has been terrible. Well it is not terrible any more. I had to drink 2-8 oz cups of a powder mixed with water and fluids the day before. You can have Popsicles, any type of pop, water, coffee. Was very well care for before, during and after treatment. The office called the next day to check on me. I would recommender this great group of doctors with my health care needs."
