Reviews
The doctor, nurses, and staff were caring and professional. They were making every effort to be sure that patients were seen in a timely manner. The doctor was thorough and took the time to explain things and to be sure that you understood. The patient portal is great for getting test results and information promptly. The facility was nice and clean.
We arrived early for a 1pm procedure. We were supposed to be there at noon but got there at 11:30-11:45. I was told, as the driver, to expect three texts. I got the first text before they ever took my husband back. By 3pm I had heard nothing and was about to look for someone to ask about the procedure. Then I received a text saying that they had begun the procedure and then 25 minutes later that he was in recovery and to go to the appointed door. Everything was okay as far as it all went but I think waiting two hours plus for a text and then getting the final text 25 minutes later for an hour procedure was a bit off putting. The results of the procedure were explained clearly and the nurse and doctor both seemed very caring. The whole procedure was not an unpleasant experience but it was not a 5 star experience.
It was a good thing.The staff are wonderful. They gave great me great news.
I have always received outstanding and efficient service by Dr. Underwood and the staff at G.I. Associates!
I had an appointment at a certain time. I was not called back to the room for over an hour them I waited in the room for 15 minutes. It would have been nice if I had been told there was a delay in seeing the doctor. Once I saw him all was good. He listened to my issues and recommended a course of action.
