"This is the first time I actually felt listened to at a doctor’s appointment! I’ve been chasing GI issues for years and Jesse was the first medical professional to actually listen and not immediately write off all my issues due to my weight. Rhonda and the other lady at the front desk were also very sweet and the nurse who took my labs was so gentle and got my vein on the first try! That rarely happens. Thank you for making a stressful situation a little easier. I’m very grateful ❤️"

"Very kind and professional. My doctor was running late but another one had patients that canceled. I was offered a choice between the two. I took the earlier time with a doctor I didn’t know. She was great! I went to sleep and woke up with no discomfort. I was able to eat solid food within an hour after my procedure. The worst part was the 3 day prep."
"So far all communication has been great"
"My new provider is INCREDIBLE! Shana is phenomenal at her job! If it wasn’t for her, I’d still be just taking massive stool softeners off and on for the rest of my life with zero answers! I am so thankful I was sent to her after begging my dr for actual help. She is incredible."

"Very nice,very kind Doctor.I’m so happy. Thank you!"
"The Dr was very thorough in explaining the outcome of my colonoscopy. I did have an issue with the person I who took my blood pressure etc prior to the procedure. She was asking me about my meds and wasn’t transferring the information I’d provided in the paperwork I completed. She said “Oh, you took the time to complete the paperwork and I should be looking at it”. Also, she said she needed to hurry because the doctors were always waiting for her. She was pretty anxious and made me somewhat uncomfortable and anxious as well. I was not impressed with her"
"Very friendly and knowledgeable group of people, all working together to make sure you are informed and assisted."
"My only complaint is the glass doors to enter the office. I was in a manual heelchair and it was a very dificult manuver to keep the dorr open with my husbands foot and then trying to get me through it atvthe same time. Love my drs and PAs here. They need a handicap door opener."
"A wonderful experience. Being terrified of medical procedures, I was very reassured by the warmth & proffesionality. I was / am very grateful."
"Always concerning to the needs of the patient. Charlotte Duvall is second to none and has helped me more than I can say, the Team at Washington GI is the Best."
"I have nothing but the best things to say about this place. I would say that it is the five star hotel experience with very qualified professionals names Dr Lee Huang, Dr Shaily Jain, Anthony RN, Helen who gave me IV, Manny who gave me anesthesia, and I believe it was Jennifer who helped with the Colonoscopy procedure. I would recommend this place 100 percent. I am referring to the Federal Way Location"

"Today I completed an Esophageal Motility test at this clinic. If you know anything about this test, you know it can be very unpleasant. However, despite my anxieties, the nurse/technician Wendy was patient and calming, making it a bearable procedure, and I was functional the rest of the day! Wendy invited me to come in early, talked me through everything (a week before the test and on the day of it), was collaborative in the process, and was validating of my nerves. She took extra time after the test to talk about what she could see, while also being appropriate with boundaries around needing additional expertise for full evaluation. I highly recommend this clinic if you need this exam (another name for it is High Resolution Manometry)."
"Provider Duvall was kind and friendly answered all my questions."

"Katy P. is my assigned nurse practitioner from a scar tissue epidemic, referred by Dr Leung from a roux-en-y surgery that was needing to be under a professional watch, due to flare-ups of ulcers. I moved here in 2017. She is the one and only person I can think of, who's a woman in the professional field, who has been with me since the beginning of losing my husband and moving here to be a caregiver to my mom. I have been very fortunate to be under her care. She is very thorough. And and very sympathetic to my fight for health and wellness of feeling better. I just hope she comes back after her maternity leave."
"Dr Leung and his nurse Trudy went out of their way to help me when no one else would. They listened to me and ordered up the tests that I feel saved my life. They personally helped me even though their schedule was booked way out and went above and beyond any professional behavior. God bless them and WAGI! I only wish they practiced general medicine so I could have them as my primary care. I would leave 10 stars if I could! ❤️"

The staff from when I walked in the door to when I left were caring, understanding, and each person I dealt with took the time to explain every step in detail."
"Having a colonoscopy is truly one of life's great miseries, ( Actually the prep is) . This was my first colonoscopy with Washington GI. It went as best as it possibly could.

Very happy over all with my experience and look forward to seeing them again in 5 years!"
"Very professional and reassuring to their patients. The nurses and doctor were informative about the procedure. Staff was friendly."
"After being poked in vain 3 times for an IV in order to undergo body CT scan, I have a fear of being poked again. That was a couple of months ago but my phobia for needles continue. At Digestive Health , where I went to this morning for a colonoscopy, I told the nurse Erica that I have fear of being poke due to a previews experience and I told her she can access my port. She assured me she will only prick my vein one time and sure enough. She poked my arm one time and with that I commend her for lessening my fear. Erica was very polite and a very efficient nurse. Thank you Erica. I would like to commend too, Holly, also a nurse at Digestive Health. She was also very helpful and caring. Thank you Holly."
"Dr. Leung saved my life. I was too young for routine Colonoscopy, and was extremely ill nearly two years, either diarrhea or spontaneously vomiting (even purged for 16 days while in DC- hospital saw nothing serious on CT Scan. My General Physician, Dr Kamran Khan worked by process-of-elimination, and after exhausting all logical testing, he said I was too young, but he was sending me to digestive health. Dr. Leung and his team have been amazing since first Colonoscopy resulted in finding a carcinoid tumor, which explained my symptoms as being carcinoid syndrome. Once my oncologist was on board, I had two more procedures to gain a safer margin of healthy tissue, reducing the risk of the cancer returning. 4th procedure insured I was cancer-free. I was even checked after a food poisoning. If any of you are having problems, consider Dr Leung. If they seem too business-like and fast appointments, consider yourself lucky. They are out to prevent serious issues and disease. 5 Colonoscopies later, and I am proud they are on my team. Dr Leung, again: Thank you for saving my life and keeping me in a healthy check routine. By the way, I need to sincerely thank you for having had YOU call me March 14, 2014, to tell me I had cancer.......AND stay on the line with me for over half an hour, to get past the shock and confusion, a million questions, and then explain what to do next. Had I not had and still have a great healthcare team like you all, my cancer may not have been found for another 10 years, had I even made it that soon for an age-appropriate routine Colonoscopy. Dr. Leung, thank you for saving my life and reassuring my family."
"Underwent a 24-hour pH acidity test, tube through my nose and down to my stomach. I was nervous going in to this procedure. I do not handle stuff like this very well at all. I am a horrible patient! Tammy is wonderful, encouraging, and beyond positive professional. Inserting the tubes was a nightmare. First try, bone blocking the nasal passage. Second try, sinuses swollen, making it difficult to insert tube in my other nostril. We finally got there. However, nose bleed after removing the tube. My anxiety level was escalating. After the 24-hour tube was inserted, I truly didn't think I could last 24 hours for this test. The tube was beyond irritating, I was in tears and an emotional mess. Tammy is amazing! Her words of encouragement and her empathy were above excellent. She was very patient. Thank you, Tammy, for getting me through this!"
"Jennifer Norstrom-Zuarez is my husband's doctor and she is, out of 6 monthly visits, is the best, most caring, most trustworthy doctor he sees. She is friendly and wonderful."
"My experience with Digestive Health was fantastic. That includes all the staff. They are truly in a class of Their Own.."
