Reviews
Very happy with the care I received
GI Associates is a top of the line medical facility. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Underwood for many years. He’s so caring and professional. I’ve never been in a medical facility where from the young woman who greeted us at the door to the lady who wheeled me to our vehicle all were extraordinarily friendly and professional. I have much admiration to the staff.
My experience with GI Associates has been a positive. Yesterday, my appointment was with Dr Underwood he was professional and engaging. Thanks Jeannette Turnage
My experience was great and very helpful Dr. Underwood was very knowledgeable and professional in answering questions
The staff were all very informative and I felt very at ease. Everyone seemed to be very professional and on top of their game.
