"Despite my Google name, my name is Jenea G.A. I have been a patient of Dr. Maxwell’s for about three years. He got me on track and got my gut healing a couple of years ago but I have found myself struggling again. I have been struggling for months with vomiting and nausea and severe stomach pain. I had switched insurances and so I was with other doctors. When I found out that Dr. Maxwell takes my insurance I started to cry. I met with Dr. Maxwell this past week and left with more help than I’ve had in months. THANK YOU!! I was reassured because he had gotten me in shape before. I know we can do this, and I am so grateful for such an incredible doctor and would recommend him to anyone. He cares."

I've changed the way I eat and take the things she suggested and the issues I was having are no longer going on. There was only one issue. My first appointment was 3 months out. Due to an emergency I had to cancel. She understood and was able to schedule me a month out due to a cancelation. Then they had to reschedule me. Then they called again and said they had to reschedule me. Then called (the poor receptionist sounded frustrated) and simply said " she said she's only working a few hours that day". She said she would put me at the top of the list if there's a cancelation. I ended up waiting until my appointment came. It was worth it in the end."
"I have been going to doctor Fenton for over 17 years.he is a great doctor and great man.he is always there to help me and manege my poor health..I wish he could give me a new stomach so I can really enjoy food and life but he does enough to keep me alive.i wish his front office folks could be more helpful by returning calls or getting a sooner appointment as needed.i know he is a super busy doctor."

I recommend him to my friends and family for the amazing experience I had."

"Dr. Batista and Abbey have been helping me since I was first diagnosed. They have been absolutely amazing. Office staff is very helpful too!!"
"I had the best experience with Dr. Chaya Krishnamurthy. She was extremely personable and took the time to listen, which I feel is very rare. Her willingness to help me figure out the root problem, instead of shoving a bunch of medications to mask the problem, really spoke to me. Best gastro doc I've seen by far. Thanks Dr. Chaya! :)"
"I saw Abbie Siebenhaar PAC yesterday. She took the time to listen to my history and current issues before thoroughly explaining my diagnosis and treatment. She also was quick and to the point."
"I originally scored one star...read to the bottom: The Worst! I waited over a month for a consultation on a potentially serious medical condition, and was turned away for being 3 minutes past his 15 minute "grace" period. I was at the office at 0903 for an 0845 appointment. Dr. Frech personally refused to see me. I guess I was being punished. How often does a patient wait for a doctor? Like 100% of the time...right? I have worked in healthcare for over 50 years. I've never been so slighted. I wasn't even asked the reason why I was late. I can't deal with that kind of arrogance, so I'll go elsewhere. After a series of unusual, but not unfortunate events, I ended up back at Dr. Frech's office after an additional month of trying to get in elsewhere. This time, I arrived plenty early. I must say, after my first consult with Dr. Frech, I'm feeling like there was a reason for the roundabout that brought me back. I went from feeling disrespected to feeling like my health was his primary interest, and that he'll do everything in his power and skillset to totally evaluate my disease state, and guide me through my treatments. I like his intensity, his clear explanations, his confidence and his manner. Although I might be criticized for scoring so high this time after only one visit, but I fell that the hope and reassurance I received was worth the trust and optimism."
"My wait time was about 10 minutes. My wait time in the exam room was about 3 minutes. The PA explained what they were going to do for my next visit and she answered all my questions and concerns, and the staff was professional and pleasant."
"I went undiagnosed through multiple GIs for years until Dr Fenton happened to be in the e.r. one night and saved my life. The best bedside manner."
"My daughter has had soooo many health issues through the years. We’ve gone with her to just about every Gastro Dr (& other types of Drs) out there, & finally got referred to Dr Trowbridge. She said he was THE BEST doctor she’s EVER been to! Kind, caring, interested in finding out the cause of her problems & getting her well. We refer him to everyone!"
"I feel like so far they are taking me seriously, and they were kind, concerned and helpful. They got me scheduled to figure out what was wrong and listened to what I had to say during my first appointment. So far everyone has been kind, caring and helpful."
"Whats not to like? Brad Trowbridge is a champ!!!"
"I saw Dr. Krishnamurthy. She was attentive, thorough and knowledgeable. She listened to my concerns, explained my condition and offered useful suggestions/advice. I felt very comfortable with her and will recommend her to others."
"I had a good experience with Dr. Peterson. He was patient with me and addressed all my concerns."
"I do not enjoy any medical procedure BUT the staff at Utah Gastroenterolgy make the experience as pleasant as possible. Dr. Bown is the best. Always, calm and professional. When all is said and done, I am grateful for this potentially life saving procedure. Thanks everyone. See you in 2022."
"I have been a patient at Utah Gastroenterolgy for almost 19 years. I have always had very positive experiences with them. The drs are very knowledgeable and they don’t make you sit and wait to eat in to see them. The last time I was there I didn’t even get my paperwork filled out and sit down before they called me back to see the dr. I originally had dr joseph who has sadly retired but I am seeing dr wills now and I am very happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and has made sure he is thorough. When I was there the last time I saw the PA Blair! She is absolutely amazing! Friendly, smart and very attentive. I spent 7 hours in the er at imc and they sent me away saying we don’t know what’s wrong so take this medicine and see your dr. This was after a cat scan of my stomach and their answer pain medication and with the stomach pain I was in they gave me medicine they said was for migraines. Then corrected themselves and said oh it works for migraines and your stomach. Needless to say I saw Blair at Utah Gastroenterolgy and she knew exactly what was wrong and gave my husband and I her full attention and explains exactly what the cat scan showed and how to fix it. I will request Blair anytime I go there I was so impressed!. Thank you! They are the best!"
"Dr Brien Miller is wonderful; he is compassionate, caring and efficient. I feel certain he sees me as a “whole” person and not just another procedure. His staff has been very caring as well. A special note of thanks to Jody. She always does her best to assist me with solutions to issues that arise. The procedures are not fun but I am assured I am in good capable hands. Diane Rosowsky"
"The front office was great to work with and very helpful at getting me in asap. Dr Bown was thorough and professional during my visit and explained the procedure process and answered all my questions and he took the time to do so."
"Dr Peterson is absolutely the best along with his PA. My bloating belly took me in last week, he set up a 2-week noninvasive plan. I appreciate that he starts with a simpler option then has other options ready if the first one is not effective."
"Utah Gastroenterology has been a real like saver for me. There isn't a score high enough to rate Utah Gastroenterology. I look forward to working with Utah Gastroenterology in the future completely."

I was nervous about my procedure, and I felt like Dr. Trowbridge was excellent at making me feel calm and comforted. Thank you!"
"Dr. Pedersen, his Medical Assistant and the rest of his staff are incredible! I work in the medical field and would absolutely recommend this office. They have always done everything they can to help. They are very knowledgeable, kind, genuine and professional. I'm so grateful for them and the hard work they always give."
"Great staff, very friendly and they make you feel as ease"

"Was able to see Blair in a timely manner. She was great. Listened to my concerns. Followed up with ordered tests."
"Thank you for helping my mom during her recent illness."
"I just had a colonoscopy in November and it was a pleasant experience. The doctor and anesthesiologist even played me Beetles music to give me a relaxed and comfortable situation. It was painless and quick and I got my results before I left the office. They were very thorough to make sure I understood the procedure and it was a pleasant experience unlike what you hear horror stories about. I would definitely recommend Utah Gastroenterology to my family and friends and associates. The fantastic news is I got a clean bill of health and don't need to repeat this procedure for another 10 years. That's enough to make anyone's day. Roberta"
"First doctor that has ever listened to my cousin on the first time she came in! He made her feel comfortable and is getting to the root of her problems especially since it's been only 24 hours since she saw him he got her in quickly and is already doing tests to help her out. She had went to the er the night before they refused to even look into her at all and for him to even say that he is going to find out what's wrong and then go to the other doc and show him why he shouldn't have just sent her home without looking shows he is a amazing doctor and deserves to be in this profession if I ever need to see a GI I'll definitely be coming here!"
"She was very friendly, relaxed and made me feel very comfortable!"
"Dr. Gordon Harmston saved my mother's life on more than one occasion. He was the first to recommend her for a liver transplant. And he assisted her life, several times, with colon issues. He was personal and caring. I myself have started going to Dr. Harmston for my older life physicals. I had an issue after a procedure ... Dr. Harmston personally called me 3 times for a follow up. I was out of the country and wasn't getting his messages until I returned. I was very impressed he reached out instead of a nurse. I will continue to go to Dr. Harmston for my gastro care ... I would recommend him to anyone."
"Although prepping for the procedure was not great, the staff was wonderful. Smooth process from start to finish."
"They were very helpful and we didn't have to wait, got in right at the appointment time. They were all very professional."
"Great experience ! They were very professional and the facility is first class."
"I have been seeing Dr. Moore for a few years now with a chronic and severely not fun bowel condition. He has run a number of tests on me and performed two colonoscopies during that period. We have the problem under control now, and the next step is to try to figure out what the underlying condition is so I can stop taking medication for it. I am pleased beyond words that the condition is at least controlled, it was very seriously impacting my life before I saw Dr. Moore, and he had it stopped with medication within two days. He is very knowledgeable, excellent bedside manner, and the two colonoscopies I have had from him were dramatically less burdensome than the first one I got about eight years ago from another doctor."
"Dr. Doxey made an analysis of my problems, and prescribed medications that managed to eliminate my abdominal pain and with the instructions he gave me, I was able to feel free of pain."
"The staff makes you feel so comfortable. And dr.Moore is Amazing 🌹"
"Very fast and professional. Nurses drctors and staff were all so very nice and understanding. Would highly recommend dr. Moore to everyone .I know!!!!"
