"I've been seeing Dr Holland since soon after he started practice. That along should be evidence what I think about my doctor and this facility. Five Stars π."

"The staff was very kind and listened to my concerns. Was very fast with checking me in and seeing the nurse practitioner which she was amazing and understanding"

"The best! Dr. Holland and his associates have provided for me for 15 years. Always professional, courteous and takes time for any additional information or need for the patient."
"Disappointed that there was no reminder call or text to remind me of my upcoming appointment. It took a couple of months to get an appointment. Service was good once we got our I."
"The staff at the window was very nice. The lady that took my vitals was nice as well. Then I met Dr. Morgan who was so awesome. This doctor office rocks. I love how professional they are, non judgemental. My only complaint is that I didn't get scheduled for my procedure, I have to wait for a phone call and I don't know how long that is going to take. One more complaint but this is small, she didn't go over any thing about my procedure or ask if I had any questions. She just kinda ask questions about my past tummy problems and family history. She didn't talk much at all. When I got my paper work to check out it said we went over things that we did not. That would be my only complaint."
"Highly recommend this place. The entire staff - nurses, LPNs, doctors, ect are so amazingly kind and understanding and go out of their way to explain everything and order all test needed. It is so nice to find a place that runs all the necessary test to make sure your digestive health is top notch. So thankful for the entire team and their kindness especially when you are nervous and feel most vulnerable."

"I saw the nurse practitioner on my first visit and she discussed my upcoming procedure with me. I did not even meet the doctor and I was disappointed in that but she was very knowledgeable and personable. Nice facility and pleasant staff. Cellphones should all be silenced when entering or the reception staff should ask patients to turn off volume."
"We had a good experience. The front staff were helpful and friendly, the nursing staff were wonderful and put us at ease, and we appreciated Dr. Chen's direct bedside manner, giving even bad news with kindness.

"One of the best doctor appointment I have ever had! I Learned a lot, was given great guidance on how to treat my symptoms and was advised to stop using any kind of sugar to starve my cancer tumors which I have already started to do! Looking forward to My Next appt!"
"When I first arrived to the facility I had to go and take care of some business. I was told to arrive at 9:30am , so a got there about 8:45 instead . I think we had a communication issue upon scheduling the procedure. My appointment was really at 10:30am not 9:30am so I had to wait a couple of hours for my procedure to be performed. I didnβt go back until 11:30am . I very upset about this , but at the end everything went well and the staff was very professional. I been going to Dr. Holland for many years and he still the same kind , sweet and very informative doctor I know ..I really need to give a loud shout out to Wendy .

"To be perfectly honest; a little over two years ago Dr Holland offered to treat my wife. We made several calls and even drove up to their office a couple of times to try to get an appointment. And still got nowhere. We felt like we were being ghosted. Then in November of last year (11-10-22) we made another attempt and called them. We got an appointment within two weeks and they have been nothing but amazing since then. I think he may have had a couple of bad apples in his staff and finally purged them out. I would highly recommend them now. The nurse practitioner was very knowledgeable and professional as well. We are very pleased. Thanks"
"Arrival time should be at least 20 minutes prior to use electronic check in process. The tablet froze twice and never got to sign in for consent forms had to do at end of visit. Was moved from one room to another. Wait time was more than 15 minutes. And wasn't finished with tablet until provider arrived. Stressful and took time away from providers visit."

Thank You all for all that you do!!!"
"Procedures are almost always on time. Nurses, Doctort, and Anesthesiologists are great. Draw backs include long wait times for appointments, especially when you are very sick with belly pain or constipation/diahrea. Doctor Heller is super great, his PA or NP don't know which she is has improved. She still has no little personally, but is less gruff and listens to all you say."

When I did get to see the NP , the nurse went through all scenarios to be done to alleviate my issue. The NP was lovely and professional at the same time. I'm looking forward to DR KEITH WIED working to help me feel better. Merry Xmas. JHL."
