"This was my first procedure with Dr Maxwell. I found him to be very professional and thorough. He takes the time to explain in detail all aspects of the what's, where's, why's and when's so I knew exactly what to expect and I understood any concerns which put me at ease."
"Our Queen. Dr. Voaklander is thee best, no competition. She's personable, knowledgeable, and she cares. If you're scouting out gastroenterologists there's truly no reason to go to anybody else. There's a reason she only has 5 stars reviews."
"Dr. Moore is the BEST! He truly takes the time to explain everything to you in a way you can understand. I've already recommended your office to several people."
"Dr Trowbridge is wonderful. He’s really kind and patient and puts you at ease. The whole process at Wasatch Endoscopy was great. I highly recommend them. And get your colonoscopies people, at 45 like now recommended. I’m so glad I didn’t wait even though I was really not excited to do it."
"Dr. Frech was a doctor I happened upon when my former gastroenterologist retired. I have been THRILLED with every visit, encounter and/or procedure with him! He has been patient, easy-to-talk-to, understanding, knowledgeable and professional! My most recent appointment proved once again, how much he cares about MY situation, as he suggested alternatives for me to try. He shows his expertise by concentrating solely on what’s happening with me! I like that! He and his staff are amazing and I would recommend them any time, any place, with any gastrointestinal procedure. THE BEST EVER!"
"She is fantastic. I have felt hopeless, lost and overwhelmed and she has made this process so much easier. She is really cares and I think she’s great at her job."
"Heather Swann was fantastic. She spent the time to fully understand my problems. She then recommended a solution. Two days after starting her recommendations my problems are much better."
"Absolutely, first class visit! Every step of the way was perfectly planned and executed. All matters explained clearly all staff was super helpful for every step."
"Dr. Chris Maxwell and his team have always taken SUCH good care of me!!! I just had my second colonoscopy as a 26 year old so I was understandably slightly nervous but the team did such a lovely job of putting me right at ease. Dr. Maxwell interacts in the way I would hope every doctor did!!! He listens so sincerely, takes such good notes to refresh himself about you before your appointment, doesn’t ever feel rushed, looks at you and the situation holistically, and is kind and sincere. I’ve been abundantly grateful to have Dr. Maxwell on my health team!!!"
"An excellent experience for my initial visit. Staff was very efficient and friendly, my new provider introduced herself, asked how she could help me and then actively listened for about 10 minutes. Her insights and suggestions were appreciated and very helpful, and at the end of the visit, she asked if there was anything else she could do to help me. Those are qualities of an excellent practitioner, and in my experience are very rare these days. Highly recommend!"
"I felt very supported through the whole process. Everyone I encountered was kind and caring and very helpful. And Dr Maxwell, of course, was incredible!! He treated me so respectfully and kindly. He is a very skilled and competent m.d. and also has a really great bedside manner. I appreciate everything and highly recommend Dr Maxwell, his team and this facility!! Many thanks!!"
"Questions answered thoroughly, provider was professional and courteous. Also, straight forward with information and responses. I felt like the provider cared"
"I’ve been going to Dr. Fenton for years because of different GI issues. He is efficient, thorough, kind, caring and has always made me feel very comfortable. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!"
"Dr. Wills is a very good physician. I went through a very difficult time with an internal problem. Dr. Wills and his colleagues including Dr. Maxwell and Dr. Bridges performed a range of procedures that were totally integrated with St. Marks medical staff that enabled me to fully recover and receive solid follow-care."
"Dr. Frech is amazing. He is compassionate and really knows his stuff. If you are looking for a Gastro doctor, look no further and book an appointment with him."
"My experience has always been good, I’ve never had a problem with anyone there, Dr. Trowbridge has always been very informative and interested in my health, my wife also goes there to Dr. Maxwell for her chrone’s disease and infusions. It’s a good environment."
"Great facilitary, my doctor .

"Thank you Dr. Krishnamurthy for the exceptional care given to me. Your professionalism and warm demeanor put me at ease, making the entire process much more manageable. The care I received from you and your team was exemplary. Again, I cannot thank you enough."
"Dr Trowbridge is a stickler to detail, but he's so personable he makes you feel comfortable he makes you feel that you're the only one that matters and he does a lot of research to diagnose the proper stuff. Dr Trowbridge has literally saved my life. May God richly bless his practice and his staffand he's been a really good friend"
"Overall the procedure went very very well, from the start, when the nurse explained the process and Dr. Trowbridge visiting with me prior to the operation, then going into the operating room, and all the way to the end when I woke up. The whole thing took less than a couple of hours. Thanks"
"He has been the best Dr. for what he does. I have had Dr Mark Boschert for over 30 years. I would tell anyone to go see him if he was not retiring this summer. He will be missed very much and I don’t trust very easy."
"Dr Fenton has been my Doctor for over a decade. When I first started going to see him didn't just put me on a medication and leave it at that he told me what he wanted to do test wise and I was so miserable I said let's do it. He found what was wrong and was able to correct it with medication thru the years since there is no cure. He is such a great doctor and has a wonderful uplifting personality. I am so comfortable talking to him and I am a person who isn't comfortable talking with just any man but peter Fenton makes me feel comfortable and respected and he is so very gentle. I would definitely recommend him to any one. Thank you Doctor Fenton for all the care and support and speedy time responses to my messages thru the years I hope there will be many more to come."
"Dr. Fenton is wonderful! He has done both of my procedures over the past 10 years. He is kind, explains things well, and is quick. My late husband has him do his procedures. And now my current husband has requested him to do his coming up procedures."
"I appreciate that Dr. Fenton's office keeps track of and notifies patients of when follow ups are due. Dr Fenton himself is very pleasant, puts patients at ease, stays on schedule, and is very professional/thorough. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a provider."
"Dr. Krishnamurthy and her staff were extremely polite. I cried happy tears to finally be able to eat and take my vitamins without them getting stuck in my throat. My voice is back to normal. I have lived with this so long. Thank you so much."
"Overall a very good experience. I am seeing Ashley for my kidney disorder. She seems to actually care, is straightforward and to the point. I can't give it a 5 star review because it's hard to get a call back when I have questions. If I even get a call. That is a bit frustrating."
"It was, believe it or not, a very excellent experience!! Dr Wills and the nurses and staff were, in my humble opinion, top notch!!! I would recommend them!"
"I’ve been a patient with Dr. Jones for more than ten years. I appreciate most his professionalism and his willingness to work with my wishes, with and without anesthesia on procedures- a process that I understand complicates things for those involved. I also appreciate his communication of results and recommendations, especially considering some of the results that had to be delivered. Enjoy retirement!"
"I had a great experience. The nurses and staff are so nice and Dr. Frech was amazing. They all made a 'not so fun' procedure a good experience. I will definitely go back there next time."
"Dr. Voaklander is great! She has a calming, happy and friendly way about her that immediately put me at ease. She is also the very best GI in the valley and I'm confident in her knowlege and ability and I trust her completely."
"Wow! I didn’t have to wait in the waiting room for more than 3 minutes. They took me back and I was done with my appointment before the time that my actual appointment was."
"Attentive caring staff that helps you feel comfortable with the procedure being done. Dr. Moore was very warm, genuine, annd informative both before and after the procedure."

"Had a great experience at the Wasatch Colonoscopy Clinic the staff, nurses and especially Dr. Pedersen were fantastic will recommend them every chance I get."
"It was so great to work with such a wonderful group of people. My PA was very well informed and explained everything clearly . They were able to resource me out to a wonderful physical therapist. And promptly scheduled me for the procedure I needed. I would recommend them highly."
"This was my first GI procedure with Dr Voaklander. She and her wonderful staff explained everything clearly, answered my all my weird little questions and gave a chuckle or two. Next thing I knew, I was done. I have no idea why I waited so long to get in and get screened, they made it easy.. even got a warm blankie after I got into the gown. The prep was no fun, but everyone in her office was sweet and professional."
"The way the staff greeted me the minute I entered the facility, eased my worries. I'm so glad I chose west mountain endoscopy for my procedure. Everyone involved was courteous , caring and very professional. Thank you for each one of you for choosing and taking an extra mile to make me feel comfortable and relax."
"Excellent Doctor, great bedside manner, my first visit and I'm impressed with the entire experience. Edit update: Had my first ever colonoscopy and the entire team is first class, I'd recommend this team to anybody"
"My name is Patrick Horgan. I am the person who went to this appointment. For some reason, my wife's profile shows up whenever I do a review. Anyhow, my appointment at this office was excellent! The office staff was friendly and welcoming. Ashlee Walker, the provider I saw, was easy to talk to, very compassionate and positive in her approach to helping me with deal with the issue I'm having. She gave me several suggestions which I am currently trying. Making the appointment was not as easy however. From getting phone calls from people who were obviously not directly associated with the clinic to getting texts with links to some type of virtual assistant that made no sense, the process was a bit awkward. I would have given a higher rating if this had not been the case and it made me think about possibly canceling my appointment. I'm SO glad I didn't."
"I was able to get an appointment with the PA quickly after an ER visit the week before. She listened to me and talked about what could be done to move forward. Abbie said she would let the doctor know what had happened."
"I switched to Dr. Doxey from another provider, and he has been so much better. He ensures I'm given the chance to ask all my questions. While he relies mostly on pharmaceuticals, he also gives suggestions for herbal and OTC remedies and supplements."
"I took my mom to your facility. Every person we encounter from front desk to assistant to nekenzie to scheduling. They were amazing answering every question being helpful and all full of smiles and laughter. I recommend this place as a great place of service. Thank y'all so much"
"My visit with your office was particularly frustrating. Not the service received by the doctor, but my exchange with your staff prior to seeing Dr. Frech. I am writing a detailed summary of what transpired before the examination, which I will send you in a separate letter. Thank you."
"My experience with Utah Gastroenterology has been fair. My physician and PA haven't really meant my needs but we are trying temporary plans and if they don't help then they will go the next step up."
"They were great! Got in immediately and don’t have to wait. Spent time talking to me and explaining what I needed to do and a plan. I would recommend this facility."
"Dr. Trowbridge has taken exceptional care of me for 25 years. He expects only the highest quality care from himself, and he is a remarkable human being."
"Dr. Frech is an amazing, skilled and dedicated physician. One of the best I've ever encountered. He's very bright, empathetic and listens very well. I cannot recommend his enough."
"Peter Fenton is a great doctor. I have been going to him for over 20 years. He is always personable, caring, funny and has a good bedside manner. Above all he is a smart doctor and knows what to look for in the medical procedure's he does. My family and extended family go to him also and they have all good things to say about him. I could write a book on how pleased I am with him. Peter has always made me laugh when I see him. I got him to laughing in my recent experience. Last colonoscopy he left a tattoo where a removed polyp was. He said that it made me part of the “In crowd” to have a tattoo. So I asked my brother if he would like to see it. He declined of course. Peter laughed. Good gastrointestinal joke. The anesthesiologist is also great. I tell him I want to watch the procedure on the tv. He just laughs as he administers the anesthesia. The nurses are all great with good bedside manners. And always providing warm blankets. All in all a very good experience."
"Dr Bridge is the most patient & hardworking Doctor I know. He is always ready & will to help. His knowledge, his wanting to help & his communications skills are outstanding. Makes you feel like your concerns ,no matter how stupid they are. Are just as important to him as to you. He cares & listens. Thank you Dr. Bridge for making me feel important."
"Dr. Maxwell and his staff were extremely professional and answered any questions that I had in regards to my colonoscopy. I would definitely recommend Dr. Maxwell to any of my family, friends and neighbors."
"No one looks forward to a colonoscopy and I didn't have a doctor to do this prior so when I was put in touch with Dr Pederson's office working with him and his was wonderful. They put me at ease and it was a very straightforward and simple procedure I really appreciate the way they handled everything and it was a great experience considering no one wants to do a colonoscopy. I would highly recommend Dr. Pedersen and his team."
"I have huge gratitude towards Dr. Voaklander, She has the best bed side manner I’ve ever seen. She answered all my questions and she’s beyond supportive and willing to figure out my situation and is very sensitive. So glad I was referred to her. Thank you for being so Personable."
"Dr Trowbridge was referred for me for have my first colonoscopy, and I was so pleased with him that my husband has Dr Trowbridge as his Gi Dr. Dr Trowbridge has been thorough with explanations given, answered all our questions, gave detailed understandable guidelines to follow and addressed our concerns of our diagnoses. Truly caring and concerned about his patients. He really is an exceptional Dr all the way around. We’ve been with him now going on about a decade! Can we clone this young man😉 Thank You Dr Trowbridge Respectfully Mary Trent"
"This was a first visit. The office staff was friendly, and Dr Todd was thorough and efficient. I thought it was a good experience for a surgery consultation."
"This office is so friendly and very efficient. Dr Will was attentive and very through. He takes his time and isn't in a rush. I definitely recommend Utah Gastroentelogy."
