"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 didn’t 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 . She went above and beyond to get my prep for me as well as keeping me posted when there was a cancellation. She gave me awesome instructions on how to prepare for my procedure . Thank you all for the awesome service and care."

"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"
"I love Dr. Chennupati and his staff!! They are so kind and accommodating. Not to mention knowledgeable and thorough!! They truly care about their patient's well-being."

"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.

"I have only had one visit so far but they were way more thorough with me than my previous Gastro doctor whom I have been going to for years with no relief at all. I was even surprised to hear that what I’m going through is treatable. Again, my previous doctor(s) never even suggested that."
"Members of this family have used this practice for 15+ years. Reception staff is responsive to all questions asked, efficient check- in and helpful to clients.

"Care provided was excellent… problems with communication. Written instructions are ambiguous and presented in rather random order. Telephone menu and absolute inability to access a human in any predictable time frame very frustrating and irritating to patient who is already uncomfortable with procedure. One cannot anticipate when (or if) might get response… I was contacted in short time and callers were courteous and helpful…"
