"Dr PJ Pedersen is an excellent doctor, explains everything to you in full detail. His nurse Whitney is excellent as well. These two return your calls and you can tell that they truly care for their patients. I would have given them 100 stars if I was able to."
"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."
"I have cycle Vomiting Syndrome 🤢 they help me out with different test to try to help out with other stomach problems and very willing to help. Kind working souls"
"Having moved to the area a couple of years ago I did a lot of research on my doctors. Brett Doxey was my best choice: extremely knowledgeable, listens to my questions and concerns, and has a great bedside manner."
"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've had Dr Trowbridge as my doctor for a number of years. As always he is competent, personable and caring. I couldn't ask for a better person to do what he does for me."
"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."
"Dr. Moore is an outstanding G.I.! I have Crohns disease and I've been to see many, many G.I. doctors. Dr. Moore listened to me, really listened. He didn't make me feel rushed. He validated my concerns and proposed a treatment plan that was open to my input. It's refreshing to talk to a doctor that is knowledgeable AND respects what the patient has to say! I'm looking forward to future appointments and continued care!"
"The office is kind and efficient as are all the people you will work with. Dr. Pedersen is very kind and listens to everything you want to say. He is knowledgeable about everything available and you are part of all decisions made. I have had a number of Crohn’s doctors and Dr. Pedersen is by far the one I am most comfortable with and I know he is always doing what is best for me."
"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."
"Dr. Moore is the best of the best! He has helped with the highest quality of care so that I can live my best life. He truly cares about his patients, and his staff does as well. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Moore!"
"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."
"“Incredible gastroenterologist” isn’t good enough words. On the one hand I hope he’s not accepting new patients so it’s easier for me to see him on my timing and needs. On the other hand gut issues are horrible and you want someone like him… Bedside manner 10/10. Thorough visits 10/10. Recall 10/10. Colonoscopy 10/10. Humane 10/10 you get the point"
"My main Dr I’d Doxey and on my follow up appointment I met with Dr Yamashiro. Everyone was very professional and we had good communication. Everything was explained to me so that I could understand. Thank you team."

"Dr Boshart is one of my favorite doctors. Very professional, he explain every detail for me to really understand what is going on and always gave me the correct treatment."
"Doctor Fenton is very good doctor when dealing with his patient's. I believe he does his very best in helping us, and understand what we are dealing with and how to take care of ourselves.He is a good man, I have spoken to some of his other patients,"
"I have had many problems with doctors not being super helpful with helping me understand what exactly is going on with my body, and Allison was amazing! I felt very comfortable, and she made sure and explained everything to me, so I understood exactly what was going on and the next steps needed. I highly recommend going here. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful!"
"I would highly recommend Dr. James W. Bown and his staff to perform your Colonoscopy. During my procedure, Dr. Bown was extremely patient, thorough and caring. He is excellent. I am so glad he attended to my medical needs. His staff was very helpful and supportive. Dr. Bown and his entire team made the procedure and the preparation tasks less stressful. Thank you for assisting me with my medical needs. I really appreciate your help. Dr. Ed Hubbard"
"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 highly recommend Dr. Jones. His staff is very personable, everything went efficiently, and they made sure I had all the instructions and information throughout the whole process. Dr. Jones even called after the procedure to go through the results in person. He is very thorough and professional, and I feel I am in the very best of hands especially with having a high risk for colon cancer and needing colonoscopies yearly. Their team makes the process feel less daunting and easily manageable. I’m grateful!"
"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."
"Dr. Fenton is a first class Gastro Doctor - been very satisfied with his knowledge, expertise and candor. I am still holding out hope that he comes up with a cure for Crohn’s - I have high hopes."

"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."
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dr Trowbridge. His caring demeanor and empathy he has shown me has been amazing. I trust Dr Trowbridge to care for me and I don't believe I could have found a better doctor. Don't hesitate to make an appointment with him. The first time you meet him you will understand."
"I saw Allison Sabin for some abdominal pain I was having. She was very thorough and professional. She listened to all of my concerns and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend her."
"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!"
"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.

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."

"Dr vogelander is very informed, very personable, she knows her medicine, and is willing to listen for new things and I believe she is well experienced in her craft I would invite anybody with problems like we have had to visit with her"
"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 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.

"Dr Krishnamurthy (Dr K) and her staff at Utah Gastroenterology made an unpleasant medical procedure extremely comfortable, entertaining and informative. The staff is well versed in how to deal with a great variety of personalities with there patients. They could tell right away that I’m the person who wants to crack a few jokes, ask some medical questions and get straight answers. Be aware of how you fill out all the forms, they really do read them. One of the questions they asked: “How do you want to be addressed?” Well I’m never in charge at home so I said: “Commander”. Guess who they called when it was time for me to go into prep? I loved all the disclaimer’s they’ll tell you about, especially the: “Don’t sign any contracts, and have a designated driver to take you home”…heck they followed me out to the parking lot and had my son sign that he was driving and watch out for me over the next couple of hours to make sure I had no complications from the procedure. Now that’s service. Because of my age and family history I need to have a colonoscopy every 5 yrs. You can bet that I will be going back to Dr K. and her staff of professionals."

"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."

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 great experience with Dr Boschert and his team when I had my routine colonoscopy. Everyone was friendly, the procedure was explained fully, and when the time comes again I will go back."
"My procedure went super smooth! Dr. Boschert explained exactly how the procedure went and what I needed to do afterwards. Thanks to him and the staff for taking care of me!"

I am beyond grateful for all his knowledge and hard work on getting me on the right track. I absolutely trust him with anything and everything when it comes to my health.

Ashley is my favorite “Infusion lady” they are all willing to guide me in the right direction! Thank you all at utah Gastro!"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Trowbridge for more than 10 years. He genuinely cares about his patients and I would happily refer him to anyone who needs this type of doctor. I wish he could take care of all my medical needs and not just gut stuff."
"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."
"She's very good and always follows up after your procedure to make sure you're doing fine. Her and her office is on the ball with calling and getting you scheduled when it's time for your next one. Preventative medicine is the way to go."
"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."
"I was recommended to Utah GI by CareNow for severe stomach issues and I saw Melissa, who was absolutely amazing. Her bedside manner was great, I felt understood and she explained everything in ways I was able to comprehend, even in my despair. I was extremely anxious over the appointment and she put me at ease. I went back a second time, which was short notice for urgent pain, and they were able to get me in SAME DAY. They really worked with me and my insurance for short notice, urgent procedures, especially Haley in scheduling. She was able to get me a procedure for a colonoscopy and EGD test within 2 days! I couldn’t be more grateful for this office and all their compassionate staff members. Highly recommended! Thank you!!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"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 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."
"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’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!

"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"
"I’ve worked with Dr Jones for years now and he is very knowledgeable of Crohn’s disease. The communication has gone down dramatically. Getting ahold of a staff takes days which is incredibly frustrating when things are time sensitive."
"I feel that Dr. Siddoway and the entire staff at Utah Gastroenterology have been fantastic at providing the highest quality healthcare for myself and others."
"Dr. Jones is knowledgeable, experienced, and a down to earth doctor. Very easy to talk with and is attentive to your needs. He is my favorite doctor."
"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."
"The gal I spoke with was very helpful. She explained everything in great detail so I could understand why she gave me the suggestions she did. It's been over a month. 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’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."
"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."
"Dr. Fenton and his staff or just phenomenal. They were quick and thorough. I was basically painless and pleasant. I was so surprised how well it went and answered many of my questions and concerns. Although the results were not perfect at least I can move forward and manage My situation. I was recommended him by a friend and she was absolutely right he is the best. I would recommend him to anybody that needs a gastroenterologist. Thanks Dr. Fenton for all your kindness and help."
"Dr. Peter Fenton is seriously the best!! I went through several gastroenterologist before him with no diagnosis and no relief until I found him. His knowledge is rare in his field, he keeps up to date with everything, kind, patient and really cares."
"I absolutely LOVE Dr Fenton! He has been my doctor for 20 years! And is the only GI that took the time to find out what was really wrong with me. 4 other members of my family also go to him."
"I don’t usually write reviews but I felt I had to today. I had the best experience at Dr Siddoway’s office, everyone made an uncomfortable experience (colonoscopy) very pleasant- the four nurses, the anesthesiologist and Dr Siddoway. I can’t say enough nice things about all of them. Thanks for taking such good care of me today!"
"I've been going to Doctor Moore for almost 10 years. I was really falling apart and my current GI doctors down in Provo didn't know how to help me, so they referred me to a GI surgeon at the Murray hospital to have my colon completely removed. After being transferred to the Murray hospital my GI surgeon saw how sick and malnourished my body was, and refused to do the surgery knowing I would just die on the operating table. The surgeon referred me to Doctor Moore. That's was 10 years ago. Doctor Moore saved my colon and my life, I'm still here and doing a thousand times better. Thank you Doctor Moore ❤️"
"I love Dr. Moore. He listens to questions and concerns. He answers questions patiently. He doesn't get upset when a patient expresses a concern. One of the things I like most is that he colonoscopy prep is somewhat conventional. That makes is less expensive when buying the products."
"Had issu s from the time I was seven. He listened and did a scope and then a stomach emptying imaging and then talk to me about the situation came up with a plan I really like him."
"Dr. Trowbridge is a very concerned doctor. He really shows that he cares about your health and any issues you are having, he fixes them immediately. I've never been more impressed with a doctor like him. I recommend him to anyone and tell everyone about how good he is in fixing your health problems. He explains everything clearly and gives you great recommendations on preventing health measures for your future. This is the best gastrenologist you will never regret going to see. He is the best and I highly recommend him."
"Dr Trowbridge is treating me for a serious liver disease, he's the best physician I've ever had. His knowledge and care is extrordinary, I'm healthy and doing great because of his decisions. I absolutely recommend him whenever possible."
"Dr. Pedersen was very professional and his staff was very efficient. Barb, Christie, and Rosa were very kind. Thank you for making a yucky procedure be less stressful!"
"Dr Brown is such a kind doctor and he makes you feel comfortable. It's not so easy to discuss such private and sensitive topics. I highly recommend him for taking care of your colonoscopy you may have put off for 10 years. The whole process was professional, and done before you know it. I went back for banding, and got the same professional care. Thank you Dr Brown and Medical Staff..."
"He is an amazing doctor. He takes time and effort to learn the on-going issues I have with IBS and without him I can not live the way I am living now."
"Fantastic care! I would highly recommend Dr. Canale to anyone for gastroenterology care. He's very personable, treats his patients with respect, and is highly skilled in all he does."
"Dr Canali is a caring and knowledgeable physician. He answers all my questions during my appointments. I feel he truly cares about me and tries hard to fit the best treatments to my needs."
"I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Krishnamurthy. She is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She helped me get my Chron's disease into remission and was so supportive emotionally along the way. She gives personal care to every patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone."
"Dr. Harmston is an excellent doctor who is friendly, competent and clearly answers any questions or concerns that come up. He is very knowledgeable and not hurried. I would heartily recommend him to any person with gastrointestinal issues. He is the best!"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Boschert’s for nearly 20 years as I have a genetic condition. He is knowledgeable, professional, consistent in his care of my case. He contacts me following lab tests and reminds me of tests I need to do. His nurse assistant has been with him as long as I have known him. I recommend him without reservation."
"Doctors some times can just be labeled as Doctors, just fix me! But, Dr. Boschet is a really nice guy, explains things well, shares details, communicates well, seems to care about my health! Thanks Doc!"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Boschert for over15 years, the care I have received is second to none. Everything is explained thoroughly no matter what the procedure or test might be. Everyone in their office from the front desk to the doctor is friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend Dr. Boschert to anyone in need of a G.I. doctor."
"Utah Gastroentronolgy was very helpful and accommodating. My appt was right on schedule so not a long wait (which was appreciated) The MA and Dr. we’re not in a hurry and allowed a lot of time for questions that I had. They are very thorough and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this office to anyone having Gastroentronolgy questions and hoping/looking for help."
"Amazing care! I feel listened too, feel like they genuinely care about me and my health. I went to drs previous to him and felt I wasn’t being heard. I’m glad to have found Dr Canale and Melissa Yamashiro! my health has improved 10 times over since first visiting them last year! Highly recommend!"
"I am very happy being a patient of Dr. Bridge. He addressed all of my concerns and worked with me to find a solution for my problem. I recommend him highly."
"Dr. Brett Doxey is the first doctor I have had that actually believes me and listens to me. He truly cares about his patients and their well-being. He works quickly and efficiently and his office does everything they say they will do. They are very good and scheduling appointments and keeping in touch making sure everything is going ok. I recommend him for anyone I know having GI issues."
"Dr. Jones is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I’ve had him as my primary GI physician for the last 16 years. He’s always been upfront and forthright in his care. I have recommended him to numerous family and friends. I highly recommend Dr Jones to anyone looking for GI care and support."
"I owe it all to Dr. Wills and his assistant Kristy. They are the absolute best of the best when it comes to healthcare. I have Crohn’s disease and met Dr Wills at my lowest point following my first surgery from my illness. After diagnosis, he immediately laid out a plan for how we would get my body into remission. His nurse Kristy is an angel on earth, she is always there for me when I have questions or concerns or even just a boost when I need it. Recently my insurance changed and would not allow me to be on the drug used to treat my Crohn’s disease successfully and both Dr Wills and Kristy went to bat for me in every way possible. Appeal after appeal, long hours sending in medical documents, fighting for me. I have never in my lifetime had a doctor or nurse fight for me and my health, I am forever thankful. Not to mention, they won my case and my drug has been approved! Thank you Dr. Wills for taking the time to speak to me about uncomfortable things and for always making me feel comfortable. Your knowledge surpasses the best of the best. Kristy, thank you for always being in my corner and for fighting for me. I am forever thankful to be in their care!"
"I was able to get an appointment in the same week that my issues arose. I was early to my appointment and they brought me back early, the appointment was quick, all of the staff were very professional and friendly."
"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"
"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."
"Dr. Moore is very personable, and professional at the same time. He listens and doesn't just patronize you. He is very knowledgeable in his field. I have total confidence in him."

"(Translated by Google) Excellent doctor, very prepared and solves everything in a friendly professional way, his first-class assistants (Original) Excelente medico muy preparado y resuelve todo de forma profesional amable sus asistentes de primer nivel"
"Dr. Wills is a great doctor. He treated my wife who recommended him to me. I went into his office one day with some problems. He sat down told him all about it while he patiently listened and answered all my questions. He also took the time to give me recommendations about my diet and proposed further course of action. Within a week I had my appointment and the procedure was done. The procedure went smoothly from the moment I checked in until my release. Dr. Wills was waiting in the procedure room. He was courteous, professional and very friendly. Chatted with me for a while, explained what was happening. It was obvious that he has a lot of training and experience which gave me a great confidence in his abilities. After the procedure, he stopped by, explained what was done and proposed the next step. And off I went. All I can say is that I highly recommend dr. Wills. With him, you’ll be in good hands."
"Really a great physician. Listened to my health concerns and helped me get answers. I always had call backs and help when I had concerns. I’m grateful for his team and the healthcare they deliver"
"Dr Jason wills is, without a doubt, one of the Best! ! Not just in the medical World, but is a real, down to Earth, communicator, in spite of his high I.Q. Keith Holz Salt Lake City"
"My experience at Utah Gastrointerology could not have been better. I felt heard and subsequently cared for. Every step of the way I was invited to ask questions, listened to and never felt rushed. Great experience."
"Dr. Doxey with Utah Gastroenterology has been my G.I. Dr. for years. Dr. Doxey takes time to answer all my questions and fully explains procedures and results! He has great bedside manner and is very easy to talk to. I fully trust Dr. Doxey with my and my families GI care!!"
"Dr. Jones and his M.A. Janet are simply first-rate. Dr. Jones has helped me in managing Crohn's Disease for several years, and he's been consistently knowledgeable (extremely well versed on menu of options including capabilities of various biologics), thoughtful, careful and caring in taking the time my visits require. That's true whether the visit is routine, for monitoring, or for a colonoscopy. He's always mild mannered, composed, and if he doesn't know something he's the first to call a colleague or other source that does. Sometimes he does relevant research after a visit. Janet seems cut from the same cloth. She, too, is careful, comprehensive and friendly in our interactions. I'm lucky to have them."
"The physician and staff provided professional, courteous, and prompt service.The physician was attentive, listened, and provided follow-up care. It was an excellent experience."
"I was very happy with the whole staff all was kind and helpful, Loria wS eonderful she looked at my notes and listened to every thing I said, if I have any other problems I for sure would go back. Thank you all.Clata"
"Genuinely concerned about me. Dr Jones is always up to date with medical history, and he makes sure that any concerns or questions are addressed in a way I can fully understand. Appointments are always on time with minimal waiting."
"Dr Harmston was very informative, personal and action oriented—all very important and often lacking in healthcare! I clearly see why someone referred him and will do the same as opportunities arise."
"Doctor Peder Pedersen is an exceptional doctor. Listens to you...discusses options and is never in a hurry to move on. staff is extremely nice ...I recommend dr. Pedersen 100%"
"Dr. Bridge is a very caring physician. He takes time to make certain you understand everything he is telling you. As well as making sure all of your questions are answered."
"I arrived 5 min early as requested and was taken to the exam room within minutes. They are always prompt. Brien Miller is a wonderful doctor. He's thorough, answered all my questions and took time to explain things. I truly trust and appreciate him."
"The staff at Utah Gastroenterology are the best. They are professional, compassionate and caring. Dr Harmston is an excellent doctor, very kind, compassionate and understanding. I reccomend Dr Harmston to anyone looking for the best GI."
"Dr.Frech and his associates at Utah gastroenterology you are so professional and helpful in understanding what or if you have problems it’s almost like they are family. I would recommend them to everyone!"
"With new symptoms coming to light, I was anxious to see someone rather quickly, preferably before we were scheduled to leave on vacation. Not only was I seen, but the prescription I was given greatly reduced my symptoms before we even packed. Yes there needs to be follow up care, but I am very confident in the doctors and staff at Utah Gastroenterology."
"The staff is so friendly and kind. The medical assistant Shelby is so funny kind and friendly. The doctor himself is awesome, funny friendly and very kind. So down to earth!"
"I found someone there that I really appreciated and felt great about. She is their new PA. I was just about ready to make a change due to being rushed through, not having options explained or addressed, people quitting and having to reschedule months out, etc. Kenzie took the time to explain, adjust treatment, and was extremely helpful. I plan to follow up with her in the future."
"Dr Pederson always listens carefully to any questions or concerns and is always ready to explain things so I can understand and he has a caring bedside manner I am grateful to have found him."
"Booked an appointment with Dr. Fenton for stomach pain I had been having for quite some time, having celiac run in my family he scheduled an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy to see what’s going on. He made me feel comfortable and explained the procedure very well. I was officially diagnosed with celiac, didn’t have any complications afterwards, and he brought me and my husband into a private room to go over the results with us and what steps we needed to take for the future. I recommend him to my friends and family for the amazing experience I had."
"My husband had a colonoscopy recently. He was experiencing an erratic heart beat quite high. His colonoscopy went fine and the Dr was excellent as usual. It was after that he & Stephanie from his office went the extra mile for me. Having a difficult time getting my husband’s primary Dr to get back with us I phoned Dr Canale office again. I explained to Stephanie my husbands need to be seen by a Cardiologist. Stephanie worked to assist and we have an appointment next Friday !!! I am so grateful to Dr Canale & Stephanie. This wasn’t something you had to do and she was so supportive and professional. Thank you so very much !!!"
"Dr. Frech has been my gastroenterologist for years now. He's excellent in every way. I trust him completely. The staff at Utah Gastroenterology is also great."
"I have trusted my life to Dr. Frech and Jessica. Through their knowledge and dedication to patient wellness, I have regained a path to a longer, healthier, happier life."
"I loved working with Doctor Moore. He was so fast and efficient. He also explained everything so well and was always very kind about it. I would highly suggest going here!"
"I have been coming to Utah Gastroenterology for 15 years and to say I feel blessed for such amazing care is an understatement. Dr. Harmston has always been personable, knowledgeable and caring. He’s always taken exceptional care of me whether it’s a simple office visit, or a procedure. His nurse, Becky, is equally wonderful. Even in the couple minutes she’s with you, you can tell she cares and values her work. The receptionists are always caring and efficient. I know when I come here I will see kind faces and genuine care for my health and that feeling has never wavered through the years. They are exceptional, always!"
"I was on time - the staff were on time and took me right back. I only waited a few minutes for my doctor (Dr. Edward Frech) to come in and meet with me. Everyone with whom I came in contact was very pleasant and professional. When our bodies have problems, there are usually not immediate answers. I did, however, leave the office feeling heard, understood and believed - all very important to me. Thank you! 🌿"
"This is Barry Richards, Diane's spouse, the recipient of Dr. Fenton's MOST EXCELLENT service, as ALWAYS, on February 19th. Perchance this brief message gets through (since I am a geezer who is electronically challenged), please respond and I will complete my message about the consummate expertise AND unmatched physician-patient rapport/genuineness of Dr. Peter Fenton. Respectfully, Barry M. Richards"
"Dr Fenton is a star! He is so good at explaining complex situations and doing it with humor and humanity. His staff is great. The office setting itself felt clean and safe. Parking is a breeze"
"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."
"Dr. Fenton he’s a great doctor. Very nice since he’s been treating me my colitis has gone down I wouldn’t trade him for nobody he’s the best. And the staff there is awesome you guys rock"
"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."
"Dr. Bown has taken extra time with our son to help with his diagnosis and has found several of his GI issues and really helped with insurance approvals of specialty meds. Very knowledgeable and personable. He is busy, but will make sure that he or someone in his office is on top of everything. Great staff and his PA Trent is very helpful too. They've all been incredibly helpful!"
"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 had an endoscopy two hours ago, and I have had two colonoscopies from Dr. Siddoway. I give him 5 stars. His staff is generally very good and they also get 5 stars. But we're in a pandemic, and I encountered two employees who wore masks improperly; one with nose and mouth visible; and another person wearing an ineffective cloth fashion mask. They were all personable, but I would expect this type of southern Utah carelessness at Cafe Rio or WalMart. Inexcusable and infuriating. 80% of Covid deaths are among those 65 and older. I'm 74, and Covid, has to date, killed one out of every 260 Americans over the age of 65. This serious criticism does not apply to Dr. Siddoway personally."
"Dr Fenton has been one of my health care providers for very many years, and I wouldn't have it any other way. He is a very knowledgeable, professional Dr, with a fantastic bedside manner. ."
"So here’s the deal with Dr Moore- he’s genuinely the most caring and attentive dr I’ve ever experienced. I have UC and worked through various meds until nothing worked and be referred me to an absolute godsend of a surgeon. He is incredible."
"Dr. Batista and his staff have always been kind and professional. The doctor spends time explaining and listening at every visit. Thank You Dr. Batista and staff!"
"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!"
"Super friendly staff, quick and reliable. They worked with me when I had my appointment time wrong and still got me in when I was an hour late. The doctor was phenomenal and very informative, her positive attitude was contagious."
"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."
"I have seen Dr Pedersen at the Gastroenterology department at St Mark's Dr Pedersen is great. He always takes the time to explain everything and has done a great job taking care of my problem."
"Quality professionals at this establishment. On time with appointments, listening to patient's concerns seemed a top priority. Would recommend this office to anyone."
"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 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!"
"I recently had a colonoscopy at Utah Gastroenterology. I was not looking forward to it but knew it needed to be done. The whole experience turned out to be much better than I had anticipated. Everyone was so kind and professional. The whole procedure went very smoothly from the prep day to the recovery. They kept us informed and updated as to what we needed to do. My husband/driver was also very impressed. He is due for his next colonoscopy and wants to change from the facility where he had his last colonoscopy to Utah Gastroenterology."
"I had a terrific experience today with Dr Maxwell and the staff, nurses and doctors at Wasatch Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. For procedures that aren’t necessarily fun to prep for, I had a great experience. From my nurses to Dr Maxwell. He was friendly and informative. He came back to see me after the procedure to explain what he found and his recommendations. Definitely a 5 star day!"
"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."
"Having a colonoscopy is no fun, especially drinking that stuff and the results. That said, the staff and Dr. made it a bearable and painless experience."
"Dr Bown is wonderful. Took plenty of time to listen and was compassionate and understanding. The wait in the waiting room was a bit long, but they explained it was due to having to enter in all my information from the paperwork completed. I felt like my time with Dr Bown made up for the long wait; I did not feel he rushed the visit at all."
"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."
"It has been several years since I came to this clinic with my granddaughter who had pancreatitis. As her doctor asked about family medical histories. As l helped my granddaughter explain all the aspects of that her doctor asked me how long since I had been followed for my liver disorder. When I told him he asked me to make an appointment with him. From that day l have been working with the clinic for all kinds of tests and my specific problem was discovered. l am grateful to the two doctors l've seen and the staff for their patient, caring treatment. l would never go anywhere else."
"Everyone at Utah Gastroenterology were very courteous and kind. They treated me right, so after two times already, I will probably go back in 5 years for another visit (once I forget about drinking that yucky stuff)."
"I am very glad that someone referred me with these guys, they were very professional and very helpful for the problems that I had, definitely I will recommend them, thank you..."
"Dr. Siddoway is a great doc! I was an Endo Nurse before moving to Utah and this man knows his stuff! Quick painless procedure, he has a great bedside manner and takes all the pressure off....if you know what I mean! 😉 Let’s face it, this is no ones favorite thing to do, but I won’t go to anyone but Dr. Siddoway for my colonoscopy screenings."
"I was extremely nervous about having a colonoscopy. I put it off for two years. I completely over processed the procedure. Dr Trowbridge put me completely at ease from the moment he walked into the room. He was very informative and comforting. I highly recommend him. I had my procedure at Lone Peak Hospital and they were also very efficient, professional and comforting. I wasted two years worrying about nothing. Dr Trowbridge is the best!"
"My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with his knowledgeable, attentive and caring manner. Very efficient in office procedures and hospital procedures. He really knows his stuff and takes no chances. Always follows through and goes the extra step. Wonderful Doctor!!"
"I've had a couple of colonoscopies done and have found Dr. Maxwell to be very informative, well spoken, competent and have no problems referring them to friends."
"Dr. Canale is personable, concerned, caring and extremely competent. He has helped both myself and my husband on several occasions. As a nurse, I can say I would definitely recommend him for any of your GI needs."
"Christopher is the best GI hand's down, he professional and compasiconate. The office staff is always helpful and his office is always clean with a positive vibe. No one likes getting scoped although with Canale you'd never know he was even there. Loyal client for over 10 year's now."
"Fabulous experience with Dr. Trowbridge and staff! I didnt have to wait long at all to be seen, and all the information leading up to my procedure was so thorough and really helped me feel at ease that I was in excellent hands. 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."
"My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Roger Siddoway at Utah Gastroenterology for several years. We have been very pleased with Dr. Siddoway and with the staff. Would highly recommend."
"Dr. Trowbridge and his staff have been great ! He takes time and explains all treatment with care, concern and is everything I've wanted in a Doctor."
"The whole staff were helpful and walked me through the process, Dr. Bown explained the procedure, made sure I was comfortable. He was there to tell me how everything went and any concerns there might have been. TY"
"Dr C. Maxwell is someone who completely understands his specialty. His compassion and willingness to 'look beyond the obvious' is the very thing that is giving me back my life as I once knew it. I recommend him to infinity and beyond!"
"I have been going to UG for years. Dr. Batista has been a wonderful doctor. My last visit I saw Amy and really liked her too. All staff I've dealt with have been terrific. I've been there for endoscopies, colonoscopy and maintenance visits. They are very professional and concerned about their patients. I would highly recommend them."
"Dr Frech has been my gastroenterologist for about 15 years and has been able to complete my colonoscopies under circumstances when my previous Dr was unable to. Dr Frech confirmed my diagnosis of diverticular disease and helped me through occasional bouts of diverticulitis and on one occasion removed several polyps. He is very efficient but complete and personable in answering questions and considering details of my condition. I'd recommend him highly to any one in need of gastroenterological services."
"Lovely office & very clean & very comfortable. Easy parking. Love the view of the mountains also. Very good staff to work with. Dr. Frech does a great job & gets it all done in good time."
"Working with Blair has been absolutely life changing. Literally. She pickedup on liver problems that all other drs had missed. Fortunately, I haven't had any issues with their staff. It's been smooth sailing this far."
"The facility is sparkling and the staff is warm, caring & professional. As a retired OR & PACU RN I would happily recommend Utah Gastroenterology to friends, family secure in the knowledge that they would get the very best of care !"
"I highly recommend Dr. Trowbridge and his staff. He is incredibly kind, caring, and knowledgeable. He has ensured at everything step that I understand and that I am comfortable."
"I received wonderful care for my colonoscopy from Dr. Bown and staff. He was referred to me by a family member who ALSO received wonderful care for an endoscopy as well as colonoscopy. I would encourage people to keep.up on these important procedures! They can be life-saving on so many instances! Thanks for taking such good care ofus, Utah Gastroenterology!"
"Dr. Christopher Maxwell has the most down to earth demeanor so not typical of the MD community. His attention to my explanation of symptoms showed compassion and of course he efficiently diagnosed. The office is great too. Very friendly staff from paperwork to leading me to the Dr. Office."
"Let's face it - NO one wants to HAVE to see a Gastroenterologist at all! But when you have tummy troubles, the Specialists at this clinic are the best in their field! Staff is very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate and scheduling is very easy."
"I had let my fears keep me from getting a routine colonoscopy for far too long. Finally made the appointment and got it done. Would recommend Utah Gastro in St George UT to anyone. They were able to work with my schedule to get me in in a timely manner. Check in was a breeze, the facility was clean, warm and inviting. Dr. Bown came in pre-anesthesia to discuss procedure and ask if I had any questions or concerns. I don't remember anything after my first few drops of anesthesia until I was being told by the recovery nurse 'Ok, you're all done. You can get dressed now.' Was sent home with photos and a report with the results of the scan. It was a truly positive experience and I'm grateful to all the staff for their professionalism and help."
"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"
"I was very pleased with the customer service as well as the treatment from them. My procedute was scheduled for 9:30 but they asked me to be there at 9:00. I thought it was to go over the paperwork they had sent me in the mail. I barely sat down & they called me back to begin the prep. Everyone was very thorough in explaining the process & I looked at the clock just before my short ‘nap’ & it was 9:28. Right on time. Truly a well-oiled machine."
"Having a colonoscopy prep is never fun but the staff at Utah Gastroenterology made the rest a breeze. Pleasant people...excellent MD. Would recommend these guys any time to anyone!"
"I had a very exceptional experience with Utah Gastroenterology a few months ago when I had my colonoscopy and again recently when I had an appointment with the MA inoffice. Those who have cared for me have shown exceptional caring and thoughtful consideration and have offered helpful solutions to my issues."
"I went in for a colonoscopy. The morning of, the cleansing treatment didn't work. Dr Woerlein sent me home with 12 packets of laxatives with another appointment @ 3:30. I appreciated that I was able to return that same day. I didn't want to start that treatment again another day. The employees were all very friendly and helpful."
"Although a colonoscopy is one of those things you'd rather not do, it CAN reveal information that could be a matter of life and death...and also can give peace of mind. Thanks Utah Gastroenterology in St. George for a thorough explanation and efficient preliminary procedure with detailed information. The staff was pleasant and professional and the summary of the procedure was also thorough and informative and was presented to us at the conclusion of the procedure."
"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!"
"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."
"Dr. Harmston is the best! I have been seeing him for years, and trust him with my life as he has made sure I have been able to live it fully with his care! He has followed my transplant, always goes the extra mile with concerns, or questions I might have or my family might have. There isn’t enough stars to share how knowledgeable and caring he is!"
"My experience with Utah Gastroenterology has been the best medical experience I have ever had. I feel like Dr. Moore really listens to me and tries to find answers and solutions. I feel like a valued patient, which doesn't happen with every doctor."
"Dr. Pederson is an amazing doctor! He listens to what you have to say and is genuinely concerned about his patients. He is always happy and makes you feel like you matter. Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and had no side effects or any problems. I was scared to death and he made me feel very confident and I knew I could trust him. I will recommend Dr. Pederson."
"I work with doctors and physicians assistants everyday, although not in a clinical setting. I had an amazing experience here and the staff was all very friendly and on top of everything. Annie Banz was an amazing physicians assistant! She was super friendly and explained everything very simply! I was very happy with my experience at this office!"
"They were very professional and they answered all my questions. They were on time and everything went as planned. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a colonoscopy."
"Blair was wonderful. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning of the appointment. She took time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I definitely recommend her!"
"The entire Staff treated me with respect, gave the time needed and reported treatment plan and prognosis professionally. I will continue using them for my GI concerns. Thanks to everyone in the Office."
"I love Dr Frech. He saved my life and has been very proactive in my care for 8 years. He is compassionate, very well informed, and an excellent physician."
"I was seen by Angela Banz, P.A. She was incredible! Fantastic "bedside manner", she really listened to all of my thoughts and concerns and answered my questions. I look forward to my follow-up appointment!"
"Normally I would not want to brag about a colonoscopy but I have to say these guys were professional and even fun. Started with the nurse Darrell, he was amazing easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. Through the whole process I had several people stop and talk to me to make sure everything was going good. I appreciate the extra care that was taken by the entire staff"
"I had a egd performed by Dr. Brown and the whole process from office visit to having procedure done was very professional, and all the staff, especially Dr Bown were very nice. Would recommend these folks and will go back if the need is there."
"I have been with Utah Gastroenterology for over 7 years, under the care of Dr. Rayburn Moore. I can honestly say that this man has saved my life. The whole team at the office is phenomenal and the communication between patient and medical staff is second to none! I highly recommend!!"
"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."
"I am more than satisfied with the help and support from my doctor Mrs Krishnamurthy and I recommend the whole prosedure of colonoscopy to everyone who has the scary feeling about this."
"Utah Gastroenterology has been wonderful! I have Crohn's Disease and they have been great to help me throughout this process. I thank God for this place and the care that I receive!"
"I recently had a colonoscopy performed at Utah Gastroenterology in St. George and received excellent care from the entire staff. Each employee that I encountered was kind, courteous, and very knowledgeable. The nurses and Dr. Bown explained the procedure and answered my questions in terms that were easily understood and sometimes humorous. They were all very reassuring. I'll be sure to return when it's time to schedule another colonoscopy."
"Just had a colonoscopy with Dr. Bown. Very satisfied with the procedure, office staff and especially Dr. Bown. Very thorough and complete in his explanation of the results. I would not hesitate in my recomendation."
"Eleven years ago I had a colonoscopy in Vegas, and I said never again. A health issue necessitated that I have another one last month. My regular doc referred me to Utah Gastro, St, George. It was a completely different experience. Quick, efficient, yet I was patiently given all the information I needed before and after the procedure. A prompt follow up letter explained the biopsy finding and advised a moderate treatment. Wow. Even the prep was much easier than the first time."
"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."
"Dr. Frech is fantastic. My health problem went unanswered for months, until I went to see him. He ordered and performed a colonoscopy, along with some vital cellular lab work. Throughout my short time with him, I was 100% confident in his abilities. He's clearly knowledgable and educated but was able to explain my situation to me without being condescending. I'm not especially fond of some of his support staff, however, it's a minor inconvenience in order to have access to him. He gets five stars, but the staff reduces my review by one."
"The doctors and staff at Utah Gastroenterology are very helpful in the treatment of my GERD. They continue to provide great care and ongoing support."
"The doctor is very knowledgeable and professional. He explains things in detail and answers every question you may have. He really cares about giving you the best treatment possible."
"I just turned 50 last May, and have been putting off having that dreaded colonoscopy. I was a bit apprehensive when they said that they would have to sedate me for the procedure. But it was painless and quick. The assistant walked me through all the steps that were going to happen. The anesthesiologist answered all my questions, and doctor Woerlein talked to me about the procedure as well. When they administered the anesthesia, I quickly fell asleep. It seemed like I just closed my eyes and then opened them and the procedure was done! No complications, no pain, to issues. The doctor found one polyp that they sent to the lab to check. Doctor Woerlein talked to me about how it went and what he found. They even provided me with snapshots of different areas of my colon (I have a beautiful colon, if I do say so myself) lol I think the only uncomfortable thing for the whole procedure was the prep…drinking that gallon of whatchamacallit! Yuk. But I added Crystal Light to it and it went down easier. An added bonus…I got caught up on some reading while I was on the “throne” clearing out my colon. :)"
"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Maxwell and nurse Jeri. I was apprehensive at first due to my previous colonoscopy 15 years ago, but this was a world of difference. It was way-easy. Thanks to Dr. Maxwell and his staff for making it so easy."
"I had my first full colonoscopy, and an esophageal endoscopy at age 70. There was nothing unpleasant about either procedure. You will not be aware of what is happening to you. If you need these procedures done, I can recommend Utah Gastroenterology. Robert Allen"
"Dr. Michael Sossenheimer saved my wife’s life. Literally. And more than once. He is direct in his words, yet kind and compassionate—and so knowledgeable. We love the entire clinic. Thank you for caring!"
"After an unexpected GI Bleed in May of 2015, I was admitted to Dixie Regional Hospital. I was bleeding terribly, and my Hematocrit level was getting lower every minute. I was scared not knowing where the bleeding was coming from. I was attended by Dr. Woerlein, who was on call from Utah Gastroenterology. He literally saved my life because he knew how to treat my symptoms with Mirolax & IV Fluids. It took 2 days & it was awful. He diagnosed me with Ischemic Colitis. I really liked Dr. Woerlein & his bed side manner & professionalism. He spent 1 hour in my Hospital explaining everything to my family. I'm in stage III Kidney Failure, & I truly needed a good Doctor. I also had a UTI. Which was scary because I had never had one before in my life. I always have regular Colonoscopy's with Dr. Bown, & I have had a good experience. But I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Woerlein this time because he was the Doctor who treated me in the Hospital. I felt he needed to further investigate my Colon after my GI Bleed in May. I also wanted to thank him for taking care of me in the Hospital. And I wanted him to see me "normal" & not looking like I was going to die. I waited a month for my Colon to heal & then called for an appointment with him. I was told I couldn't see Dr. Woerlein because Dr. Bown was my previous Doctor & Dr. Woerlein was the new Doctor & at the bottom of the Totem Pole. I told the Receptionist that it didn't make sense to me. And that I had also seen Dr. Siddoway before. So why couldn't I see the Doctor that treated me in the Hospital? She explained (very rudely) to me that's how it's done in their Clinic by seniority. I was so disappointed. I like Dr. Bown, but Dr. Woerlein treated me for my GI Bleed in the Hospital & knew of my experience with him & his genuine concern for my well being. Eventually I gave in, because I had no choice. I scheduled another Colonoscopy even though I had one in 2011. And things were fine. After my procedure Dr. Bown told me I didn't have Ischemic Colitis. And that everything looked good in my colon. He also had NO explanation for my terrible GI Bleed in May that lasted for 3 days. I appreciated Dr. Bown's kindness & directness after my procedure, & he called my diagnosis a FALSE POSITIVE...I didn't have what Dr. Woerlein had previously diagnosed me with in the Hospital. I needed a Doctor that would take me into his office & actually talk with me about my options. I've never been in any Doctor's office or exam room to have a consultation at the Clinic. That seem strange to me. Just Wam Bam, procedure & out the door extremely medicated & not remembering one thing the Doctor had discussed with me. Thank Heavens I always took someone with me to remember what took place. I am really disappointed I'm not allowed to make an appointment with the Doctor of my choice. That truly needs to be fixed in this Clinic. And a person shouldn't be made to feel not in charge of their own health needs & the Doctor they connect with & feel comfortable with! I wouldn't know Dr. Bown on the street if I saw him. I've only spent 5 minutes before & after my Colonoscopies with him. He wouldn't know me either! He's done 4 of them for me over the years. Sad, isn't it? I will still have my regular 10 year Colonoscopies, & I will try to stay on top of my health in that area. I am 70 years old now, & I want to have the peace of mind that I have Doctors looking after my needs. Plus where else can I go at my age to search for a Doctor that will really meet my needs & take the time to talk with me as their patient like Dr. Woerlein did? To bad we can't choose our own Doctor's at the Clinic & I had to be in the Hospital to meet him. But he will never become by Gastroenterology Doctor unless he moves to another Clinic. And after all this is St. George & after 28 years here I still am looking for that person. I think I've found him in Dr. Woerlein. Sincerely Kathleen Taylor"
"No one likes a colonoscopy or an endoscopy, but I felt like they made it as comfortable as possible. There were no waits, everyone was very professional and explained everything to me, and everything worked well. I would recommend them."
"I had my Colonoscopy at Utah Gastroenterology in St George. The staff was excellent! The Anesthesiologist was great! After the procedure, I was awake and able to walk out like nothing had happened. I have had friends who went to their local hospital and their experience was much different than mine at Utah Gastroenterology. I recommend them highly! I traveled from Kanab, Utah to St George for the Colonoscopy and was glad that I did."
"Great doctors and easy to schedule. Four other family members all see doctors here and we all love them. Dr. Maxwell did my colonoscopy and it went very well. I've seen him several other times and he's always been very informative and kind - never in a rush to get you out - takes time to explain everything to you."
"My husband and I have been patients of Utah Gastroenterology for over 20 years and we are so happy with the care we have received there. We have had both colonoscopy's and endoscopy's with excellent results."
"Very fast and professional. Nurses drctors and staff were all so very nice and understanding. Would highly recommend dr. Moore to everyone .I know!!!!"
"Dr Boschert is a wealth of knowledge. He is clearly up to date on best practices. He listened to my concerns and addressed each one. Great Dr. I highly recommend!"
"I felt very comfortable discussing my problems with Dr. Wills. I would not hesitate to see him again, and I will be having my next colonoscopy done by him. He's very friendly ."
"My colonoscopy experience was great. The pre-check in system worked perfectly, my cleansing process was really a breeze, and my time at your facility for my procedure was effortless. Received a clean bill of health and do not need to do this again for 10 years. A++"
