Reviews for Utah Gastroenterology
"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."

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."

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."
