"Dr Jones made me feel listened to and that I was in charge of my own care. I appreciate that she didn’t talk down to me. Friendly people very nice experience."
"Doctor Maxwell should be the model for how every physician operates. He is extraordinarily focused on solving your problem, rather than focused on how to get on to the next patient faster as most doctors do. Obviously highly intelligent and capable. He will cut through any BS that other healthcare professionals shovel at you to make you feel better."
"I have been a patient of Dr Doxey for years. I have always found him to be professional, knowledgeable and a good listener. I have never felt rushed at an exam. He spends the time I need to get my questions answered. The procedures done by Dr Doxey have been thorough and painless. He then explains the results of the test before I leave the surgical center. I have recommended Dr Doxey to both friends and family and they also have only positive things to say about him."

I'm looking forward to future appointments and continued care!"
"Dr. Krishnamurthy is absolutely AMAZING. I have talked to so many medical professionals about my digestion. Each of them have brush my concerns off but not Dr. krishnamurthy. She listened to everything I had to say. She is empathetic, kind, and professional. Definitely go see her."

Everyone was very pleasant and helpful!"
"From front entry admin, to office RN and Dr.Pedersen, each and every area performs their duties thoroughly and with complete detail. My situation required continual follow-up, treatment and testing to insure that the eigthteen month infection, that had taken up persistent residency within my body, was irradiated. Many thanks to Dr. Pedersen and all who had input, relevant to my treatments, and the ultimate resolution of my issues."
"I am so thankful for Dr. Bridge seeing me in such a short notice, he answered all my questions and it seems to me he really cares about his patients. Working in the health department as a CNA for the past 30 years this is very important."
"I stared seeing Dr Fenton after a fellow colleague gave up treating me. Dr Fenton really took the time and listened to my concerns and gave me plenty of time for questions."
"I had a very pleasant experience with them they were very attentive asked alot of questions that were relevant plus seemed very concerned and were very kind and non judgmental which made me feel at ease and helped me to share even the most embarrassing things I have been dealing with. Thank you very much for your help and I greatly appreciate it :-)"

"I've been a patient of Dr. Jones for over 10 years. Some years I may see him a time or two for routine checks - other years visits may be a bit more frequent when needed. He is patient with my questions and when we need to try something different I am part of the decision making process. Dr. Jones has a number of patients that I've referred to him and continue to do so. Recently a work associate was discussing their health concerns and the good, straight-talking, collaborative care they get from their gastroenterologist. Sure enough, they are seeing Dr. Jones too."
"Highest ratings for Dr. Canale and his staff who were able to diagnose and listen to my concerns and come up with solutions. I recommend him for any gastro needs that come up."
"I am glad to be a patient of Dr Doxey and his wonderful MA, Melissa and Office Manager, Stephanie. This last appointment I saw Melissa and prior to my appointment I had lab work done. She asked me to try a medication and let her know if it helped. I know when I call the office a response will come the same day."
"Even after a night of little sleep (Dr Jeung’s family has a newborn), he was so attentive and helpful in listening to the problem of GERD and its possible role in a breathing problem. He explained the disorder and outlined a plan to resolve it. He was caring and brought clarity. Thank you!"
"Dr. Bridge has excellent communication skills; explains procedures clearly and relates to the individual. The office staff has much to learn from Dr. Bridge."
"I have been a patient of Dr. PJ Pedersen for over twenty years. He saved my life. I was a thin, very ill woman. It took a while but he has given me medication that has controlled my Crohns. Dr. Pedersen is knowledgeable about the gut. He includes his patient in the plan of care. He is not only smart but kind & has always made me feel at ease. He's done many colonoscopies on me & his sense of humor is wonderful. I've aged in these 20+ years, into a senior. And I appreciate all the care he's given me. I would be remiss in not recognizing his nurse, Whitney. She completes the team. Very kind. Very personable. I am blessed to have found Dr. Pedersen."
"Dr. Pedersen is the BEST GI doctor in Utah. I’ve had several colonoscopies and endoscopies by other doctors in my past. PJ and his team are by far the best out there."
"Compared to other physicians, I really enjoy the direct face to face conversations with Dr. Bridge which really makes a difference when making a decision!"
"I just had a colonoscopy done. The registration & checkin went like a breeze. The prep was actually not bad and the procedure was a quick nap. Dr Bridge and all of his staff are very likable, approachable and informative (easy to talk with). If you need a colonoscopy, he’s your doctor."
"Dr. Bridge was very thorough and truly cared about all of my health issues. He sought to understand the best treatment for me and helped me to clearly know what my next steps should be."
"I’m one of Dr, Doxey’s success patients. He found colon cancer early enough to have it removed without chemo or radiation. Colonoscopies save lives. Dr. Doxey has a great staff and is an excellent doctor for this procedure. Don’t put it off!"

"Dr. Moore was very pleasant and professional. He listened and answered questions caringly. I felt at ease when he gave me my diagnosis, as he took the time to explain in detail the disease and the treatment. I have confidence that he will get me through this. I've referred my son to him for the same procedure."
"They usually have a hard time getting a vein to put the IV in but Page was great!! I also have a ruff time emptying my bowels completely. This time it worked out with the colonoscopy prep they had me do. It went well and now I'm awaiting my letter to say all is well from the Pathologist."
"This was a really nice experience. Starting with the office staff you felt you were in an office that knew what they were doing. The MA was fabulous and efficient and Dr. Wills was personable, kind, asked good questions and showed concern and knowledge and made me feel confident that he knew what he was talking about. Gladly recommend him to others."
"Dr. Frech has a superb bedside manner. He gave context and shared knowledge on the colonoscopy and put my worries to rest. In the end, 7 polyps were removed. If I hadn’t come in and been under his expertise, I might have had cancer in 5 years. The office process and personnel ran like clockwork but with care and concern."
"This was my fourth colonoscopy with Dr. Boschert. He and his staff are incredibly efficient and friendly. It’s odd to say out loud but each visit has been a pleasure."
"I recently had a visit with Dr. Borchers, M.D. I did feel very comfortable and secured. I had a wonderful experience. The receptionist and nurses were very nice and friendly. One of the things that impressed me was the fact that the Doctor remembered me from years ago. I totally trust Dr. Borchers 100%."
"She is smart and educated in her field. I appreciate her expertise and next steps from the appointment. I was vulnerable with my symptoms but I felt I was getting judge. In fact she was from encouraging."
"Dr Fenton Was so great his bedside manner helped keep me calm. I get super nervous to be put under anesthesia and he did a great job of keeping me engaged and calm. The whole team was fantastic."
"Dr Fenton is a true professional and such a kind, personable man! I’ve enjoyed every encounter with him! He takes time to talk to his patients and always compliments and shows compassion!"
"It's been 10 years since my first colonoscopy with Dr Fenton. Now 10 years later the experience was just as professional, courteous and helpful as before. I strongly recommend Dr Fenton. He's professional, knowledgeable and great bedside manners."
"Doctor Krishnamurthy is a really good doctor. She explains the procedure and then goes over the results and answers any questions you may have. I have had several procedures done with her and never had any issues afterwards. I would recommend her to friends and family in a heart beat."
"I've been seeing Dr. Frechfor years and he is an excellent GI doctor. He shows great care and interest with my concerns about my condition. His depth of experience provides vast knowledge on how to take care of GI conditions to achieve the best possible outcomes. Highly recommend him to anyone needing his skills and expertise."
"Don’t put off seeing a G I doctor because you think you’ll be uncomfortable. They have a very professional and humorous approach in helping you with your problems. My daughter has also gone to them and she was really nervous."
"Dr. Brien Miller was amazing to work with. He listened to what I was experiencing and suggested different medical approaches that would bring comfort to the symptoms I have been struggling with. He is thorough and took the time to understand my concerns. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"She looks like a movie star, but she is a very brilliant Doctor. Imagine House, but nice. All joking aside, she saves my life. I have a quite complicated auto immune disease, but as hard as it is fighting my body, she fights harder. She makes sure I understand everything along the way. she even recommended me to a group to help me manage. I literally recommend her to anyone I hear complaining about this type of issue. She also has Lauren, her medical assistant, who really keeps you up on blood work, referrals, everything. Lauren is very knowledgeable and kind as well. I hope this review saves at least one person from going through years of medical doctors, who really wanted to be trained by the best and have the knowledge, but just don’t. It’s probably easier for those who can get to her first. I got really sick before I found her."
"I would highly recommend Dr Voaklander! I’m thankful for her and her great staff and awesome nurses! I appreciated when they called the following day to see how I was doing. God bless your team."
"IVery sweet and made me feel completely comfortable let me know what was she going to do at all times pain free the whole staff was great and I wouldn't go any place else I would reffer any of my friends to Dr Volklander"
"Not only would I recommend him again, I have three people that have already booked appointments with him. He and his staff are incredibly professional while adding an element of fun to keep things calm. The Doc has an incredible bedside manner and takes the time to really talk with you about the procedure and what to expect afterwards. I highly recommend him!"
"They are great people with a lot of experience. When you spend as much time as I have seeing Dr's and Nurses, you know experienced people. It's a comforting feeling!"
"Dr. Chaya Krishnamurthy, M.D has been excellent she is a wonderful DR that you feel very comfortable with she explains everything so that we can understand and tell you how Serious the situation yes without leaving you with any hope she tell you step by step on what to do and still asks about my family do that they don’t end up in the same situation she is completely amazing"
"The PA I met with was very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns. I didn’t feel rushed and she helped me understand what may be happening, where to go from here and make a treatment plan to get feeling better. My husband also goes to this same office for his severe Crohn’s disease and is very well taken care of by staff and Dr. Canale. They are great!"

He includes me in every step, and he has helped me feel so much better and get my life back. Highly recommend!"

"I had a telehealth visit and this was probably the easiest appointment I’ve ever had an awesome PA that did the appointment at Utah gastroenterology it was probably the quickest appointment I’ve ever had but very thorough."
"He sat down in the exam room and talked. And asked questions. And listened. And took notes. And thought. And asked more questions. And listened. And took more notes. And thought. And explained things. And formulated a treatment plan, and explained it, and gave me hand-written instructions. Never rushed. Very calm and personable. It was one of the best office visits with an MD that I've ever had. Which is a relief since it took two months to get the appointment."
"All the staff was very kind and very nice and took very good care of me. Dr. Krishnamuthy was very easy to get a hold of after my colonoscopy I wasn’t feeling well and she called me right back and she told me to go to the emergency room and I did and they admitted me that night"
"I can't remember her name (Lady Docter). She was so good with me. I was way frustrated with all the meds I'm taking for various things, she was patient with me, she was wonderful, I sorry I wasn't."
"I’ve been going to Utah Gastroenterology for decades. I’ve been through a few doctors- others moved out of State and I gained a new doctor. Every doctor I’ve met is top notch! Now I’m seeing Dr Christopher Maxwell. He’s a great listener, fast typer, and above all, great at determining the root cause of an issue. So, I’m sticking with him. I had a terrible Nissen Fundoplication, aka it’s where the surgeon wraps your stomach around your esophagus like a hot dog in a bun to control reflux from a hiatal hernia. I don’t think this procedure is done anymore but if you run into a gastroenterologist or surgeon who recommends it, RUN AWAY as fast you can. This procedure was NOT done by any Utah Gastroenterology Physician. I’m seeing them and receiving help from them for all the harm this procedure did to me. They’ve been a blessing to help me heal. Dr Maxwell represents the best medical care available. And, the doctors at Utah Gastroenterology are not shy to seek outside secondary opinions because I was sent to the UofU to see a lead gastroenterologist there and he agreed with the treatment plan at Utah Gastroenterology, medicine has got to learn how to shorten the Latin for us simple folks!"
"Miss Jones was very thorough and is taking care of business!!! She heard me and she took care of whatever testing and meds I need to get this figured out so I can get to feeling better. I can't tell you how frustrated I have been and she made me feel validated and cared for. Would recommend 100%!!!"

"I have been a long time patient of Dr. Bridge. Extremely understanding and caring, wonderful personality. I have had the chance to visit quite a few doctors dealing with Ulcerative Colitis, and I have found that Dr. Bridge is very knowledgeable and willing to do what it takes to relieve symptoms and work towards treatments that fit me best, biologically and financially."
"Dr. Mark Boschert has been my GI doctor for over 12 years. I have had Ulcerative Colitis and now Crohn's Disease with all the possible complications there could be. Dr. Mark Boschert is very responsive to my health conditions and his nurse (Becky) reruns my phone calls within a couple of hours. I highly recommend Dr. Mark Boschert!"
"Dr. Bridge is awesome!! He addressed my health problems with compassion and understanding, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a Doctor who is judgement free and has an excellent bedside manner!! Thanks Dr. Bridge, I look forward to receiving ongoing care from you!"
"I’ve been dealing with a cancerous condition for so many year. Due to a change on my insurance network, Dr Moore has been taking care of my health for the last 2 years. I feel very safe with him on my side. I have no worries about my condition ‘cause I know Dr Moore is always doing his best to keep my health going."
"Just wish had answers and things getting worse and urgent,but all the results etc..come back negative..hope too find something and not easy on all ends either..good people here and understanding..pls thorough"
"Dr Fenton is great but trying to get into his office for an appointment is difficult at best. When I called for a followup appointment as he requested I was told I had to see the PA not him. He gave me medication for Colitis but no followup? The office staff are hard to reach and very curt. Guess we are spoiled by our other providers. This was an emergency colonoscopy."
"I’ve been with Dr. Pedersen for 16 years now. I’m 50 years old I got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 24 years old. Before finding Dr. Pedersen I had at least six different gastroenterologist in the Davis county area. And I can honestly say none of them were even close to the caliber of Dr. Pedersen. When one of them that I had seen before asked me how I was feeling and I said about 70% he said, well that’s better than 60%. Very frustrating to hear. The first time I met with Dr. Pedersen he looked me in the eye and said we fight this disease together. And he has done that with me for the last 16 years. He treats you like an equal never condescending, never looks down on you and is genuinely interested in how you are feeling and is personable which is definitely a plus. He is a great doctor and it wouldn’t be fair at all if I didn’t mention the nurse that as is his right hand, Whitney. Whitney is solid she always calls back and she always gets the job done whether it be a health or finance question, never leave you hanging at all. She is A+ just like dr. Pedersen. Together they make an awesome team. I wouldn’t want to be with anybody else. I can’t say enough good things about both of them. My life wouldn’t be the same without them. They literally helped me get my life back when my Crohn’s disease was at its worst."
"Dr. Krishnamurti has a nice bedside manner. She shared information in a straight forward and easily understood manner. She is very personable and made me feel at ease and confident in her care."
"Excellent patient care. Dr. Moore answered all my questions and had a care plans. I like Dr. Moore he looks you in the eye when talking and speaks terms of understanding. Great office staff and great Doc."
"Thanks Doc Miller. You took me and my DIGESTIVE SYSTEM ON and you've been doing all my continued care and I want you to know I'm grateful an if I didn't have you to address the problems I face I would not know what I would do. Thanks again for all your service and a wonderful staff you share with me along the way. Melodie Askey"
"Robert Bridge, MD - recently performed a colonoscopy on my behalf. I found that Dr. Bridge was extremely professional and a highly skilled doctor. He has a wonderful bedside manner and he took his time answering my many questions. Also, he and his staff sent me the results, of the polyps removed, of the procedure - less than a week. Great job!! I highly recommend Dr. Bridge to anyone who is thinking about having the dreaded - back-end - procedure done. I also deeply appreciate the nurses - Lynne and Sonia. They are compassionate, caring and extremely accommodating. Lynne - YOU'RE THE BEST. Thank you so very much. Sincerely, Dan Maroney"
