Reviews
Other than being incredibly bright, Dr Root is refreshingly kind and compassionate. He communicates clearly so that you understand your diagnosis and treatment options. He is consistently a personable doctor. He actually listens and seems to genuinely care about you. He answers questions in a clear fashion. He calls with lab results in a timely manner., with clear guidance for follow up. I feel fortunate to have him as a GI provider for my family member.
I was very pleased with this place and Willie going back in 5 years for my follow up!
Nice, comfortable place with friendly, caring staff.
Dr. Root displays two traits often difficult to find in a physician. He is a good listener as well as an excellent communicator. He is sincere and has the ability to put a patient at ease. As a patient, I have always been pleased with his ability to deal with my GI issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Root without hesitation.
We met with Dr Root the first time this week. My husband’s health situation is complicated. Dr Root seemed very understanding of it, compassionate. He took his time talking with us, he explained things very well. The best part is He listened to us. Addressed our concerns. I’m glad he will be a part of my husband’s care team.
