I then told her 3 more times that it’s turned off so she needed to go out to the waiting room n ask my daughter for her number. I then told another person to do that cuz the first girl wasn’t listening to me. They went out to get her number, but never called her. Instead a girl called my number which was turned off.( I didn’t know this until hours after I got home).

"Dr. Catinis has been one of the best doctors I have ever had. I went into my first appointment with a ton of nerves due to my symptoms and my family history. He immediately put me at ease with treatment options and good explanations. When I was on the table for my endoscopy, Dr. Catinis saw that I was nervous. He very eloquently stated "It's okay to be nervous. I do these all the time, and yet when I'm on the other side, I get nervous, too." The entire Metro GI system is a well-oiled machine. Appointments and procedures go smoothly and efficiently. All of the staff is kind and knowledgable. Dr. Catinis cares about you as a patient and a person and always remembers some little tidbit that you told him in a previous visit. He wants to see you get better and cares that his treatment is giving you higher quality of life. I would 100% recommend him to anyone."
"The English language does not have a word appropriate enough to describe how amazing of a doctor Dr Catinis is. My first appt I was crying in his office bc I was so miserable from my GI issues and no dr was able to help me. He looked at me and said I will not stop until you are healed. That is exactly what happened! I am healed and I have my body back! He is the most proactive, caring doctor I have ever come across and I work in the healthcare field. I would recommend Dr Catinis to every single person suffering from GI issues like I was."
