"Dr. Tsiakas is wonderful. Great bedside manner. Professional and communicates very well. I lost my mom to a colonoscopy puncture (in OK, NOT Dr. T) so incredibly stressed and he was so supportive and understanding. I’ve had multiple polys removed including a very large flat poly and I had post-polypectomy syndrome and Dr. T came to ER after a full day of procedures. Highly recommend!!"

He’s truly an angel thank you doctor !"
"The admit nurse, Tracy was a delight. She was very efficient and made the job pleasant. The same is true for the anesthesiologist; he made it almost a delight to be there as did Judy. Dr. Tsiakos has a great team and he exudes confidence which makes the patient comfortable. I would recommend this facility and this team led by Dr.Tsiakos. Nancy Taylor"
"This doctor did an outstanding job dealing with my wife's emergency GI bleed and hospitalization. He was at the ER when we arrived. He and the ER dr took charge and set up an immediate diagnostic protocol including a blood transfusion to address the situation. Subsequent hospitalization and more in depth diagnostics. While they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause, through the diagnostics and subsequent stabilization, they were pretty confident that it was resolved naturally by her own bodily functions. A few additional days of observation and to build her blood levels and energy up, and ensure there was no re-occurrence. All the good medical schools and fellowships are great, but when the plane is going down you want someone who will jump into action, communicate and give you the confidence that he knows what he is doing. In this situation that's exactly what Dr. T. accomplished for us. Highly recommend him."
"Dr. Tsiakos is one of the very few gastroenterologist that took the time to do extensive bloodwork to discover that I needed additional vaccines. He is also very caring & goes the extra mile for his patients. He has been my Dr. For more than 10 years and I am so thankful for his desire to exceed the hypocratic oath he vowed to practice medicine. His love for medicine shows in his work. So many patients do not realize the key to good health in their own health due to lack of patient accountability. My health has been eternally changed because of my awareness and accountability."
"Dr Tsiakos, is highly recommended and I have to agree, my husband went for his second colonoscopy this year with Dr Tsiakos and I had my real first one with the Doctor. Procedure went smoothly, you cannot tell that anything was done but you do get pictures of results."
