Kind, friendly helpful and smart. Ordered tests and referred me to cardiologist. I feel like I will either get an answer to my weird symptoms or at least rule out serious issues.

Knowledgeable, personable, attentive, and took his time. Highly recommended. I had seen another GI prior and they sent me down a path that made no sense. This was a relief!
