"I trust Dr. Selinger completely with my care for both my endoscopic & colonoscopies care. She is easy to talk to & she really listens. She explains everything so that I understand completely. She discovered that I have Barrett’s Esophagus in 2003 & has managed my care so that the initial diagnosis of short segmented Barrett’s has remained “short segmented” and has not spread higher up my esophagus or worse became cancerous. She has also been vigilant on removing the polyps that grow in my intestinal track. I would rate her as a strong 10+"
"I had a zoom visit. This was clearly the most efficient way to address my needs"

"Dr Kalke Kang is one of the most amazing Dr's I've experienced. A consummate professional,kind & has a great since of humor. Made me feel comfortable & made it seem like there were no stupid questions that could be asked. He's not a 10... he's a 15 on the high scale!"
"Overall a positive experience. All personnel was friendly and proficient. Just three minor gripes. 1) Prior to the procedure the office over-communicated. Paperwork, sample paperwork, confirmation in email, text, snail mail, and via phone call. There was so much duplicate paperwork and communications that I started ignoring it. 2) During a phase during the "Covid time" when even our state was 100% open again, my spouse and caretaker was not allowed into the office. I would have understood a year ago, July 2020, but July 2021? 3) Early on, the staff tried to convince me to have a second procedure since I was going to be coming in for a procedure anyway. It was deemed unnecessary, but I was charged for their effort to sell me on the second procedure. Come on!"

"Everyone was pleasant and professional"
"Every step of working with the office has been fantastic. Everyone who works at the clinic is professional, courteous, and great at putting up with my constant interruptions and questions. The care they provided me was everything I could ask for in a visit to the hospital. I was scared, in pain, and not having a good day but by the time I left I felt optimistic and like I've been given a great game plan. Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work!"
"The Video conference with Doctor Kang was very informative. He answered all of my questions and concerns. He is an excellent doctor with a very good bedside manner. (There was no bed, of course)"
"Washigton Gastroenterology, Dr. Butani, and staff provided excellent car and service from beginining to end. They made it easy to follow all instructions, order the prep for my procedure and to know what to do. Once I was in the office for my procedure, they took excellent care of me, and Dr. Butani performed an amazing job even though my colon was tough to scope. I feel confident for the next time I need to have a colonoscopy."
"This was my first experience with having a colonoscopy and I have to say, this clinic did a great job to make me feel less anxious and I felt supported in the prep work. I received daily phone calls about what steps I needed to take that day in the three day window beforehand and I received a call the next day to check in. The paperwork was helpful and I knew that I could call with questions if I had any. Everyone was very kind at my appointment and everything went well. Thank you for helping me through this process!"
"I am beyond happy with their customer service! Got me in same day after multiple phone calls and run arounds at a different location. I couldn’t get an appt for weeks and I’m in pain. The Bellevue team is amazing and I felt like they truly cared. Thank you Patty for taking the time to get me in and truly showing me you cared. ❤️"
"Dr. Selinger and the nurses are outstanding: professional, caring, knowledgeable. I wish I could give ten stars. I recommend her to all my friends. The best physician!"
"Dr Jennifer fijor is the best!"
"Dr. Butani has seriously given me the attention I needed when another local GI specialist would not. I was having horrible chest pains and my esophagus was closing. Dr. Butani was able to help diagnose this issue and help me work on treating it while in tandem working with my naturopath. I would give him 5/5 stars but his scheduling staff seriously needs to be trained in customer service. It is very evident from all the review below that this is a known issue. My first appointment was randomly cancelled after I made it and they left me a message to tell me it was getting cancelled while they verified my insurance. I had this appointment for over 2 weeks... I basically cried to everyone on the phone and they made it right, but I still do not think it should have happened in the first place. Dr. Butani though is fabulous and I highly recommend him!"
"I received an endoscopy treatment at a Washington Gastroenterology facility in Bellevue. The doctor and staff were professional and efficient. The instruction before and after the treatment was concise and easy to understand."
"Positive experience, doctors, nurses and office staff in general were very kind and professional. Thank you for making my procedure less stressful..."
"Dr Tzung saved my life. His kind mannerism just enhance his knowledge"
"What really stood out to me was how pleasant and how well everyone on Dr. Wohlman's team worked together to provide my care. My experience was as a new patient (from Canada), referred by another physician. Scheduling wasn't an issue for me. I was pleased with the service on the phone making my initial appointment, and at reception. The nurse who did my intake was friendly and quick, and the team who took care of me for my procedure was outstanding. My doctor, Dr. Wohlman, was attentive, approachable, and clear. I'm really happy these are the people taking care of my colon."
"I have been a few times for a colonoscopy. Great nurses and doctors are amazing!! They go above and beyond! The staff is well organized. The front staff does their job but there is not much personality there. All and all my experience with them was very good. Colonoscopies are never fun. The prep was much more trouble than the procedure."
"Great nurses and doctors are amazing!! They go above and beyond! The front office staff not so friendly and always problems with billing but worth it to get treatment."
"Dr and facilities are fine. I went to the Er with chest pains. Was referred here for an endoscopy. I was told by a nurse that my insurance would cover it. HOWEVER my insurance Molina marketplace is NOT contracted with Paceline, the company that handles the anesthesia. I am now dealing with a $500.00 bill I was not planning on. My mistake was thinking that when I was told it was covered I assumed the entire proceedure was. You get bills from 4 different entities, who,may or may not be contracted with whatever insurance you have. Its a crapshoot I guess. Don't believe what they tell you,do your own research. I will not be getting a follow-up endoscopy."
