For a while I thought I was having a heart episode, the pain was that bad and located near my sternum. After visiting with me, palpating my torso and asking the right questions, Dr. Cluley ordered some blood work and an ultrasound. He had a theory as to what may have caused the severe pain I experienced and shared that with me. He drew a diagram of my digestive organs and in layman’s terms laid out his theory.

So happy to have found Dr Cluely. Also his staff are exceptional. They got me in quickly."

"I highly recommend Dr. Cluley to anyone looking for a gastroenterologist
in our area. I am 62 years old with a history of inflammatory bowel disease and other digestive issues, and have seen other gastroenterologists over the years. Dr. Cluley is by far my favorite to date. He recently performed a colonoscopy as well as an upper endoscopy for me. I found him to be both knowledgeable and kind. He was very patient in answering my many questions, and took quite a lot of time during my office consults with him to understand my history and current symptoms and to explain the results of my endoscopy procedures, which were performed without incident. Moreover, he is the only gastroenterologist I ever have consulted who was amenable to exploring the role of diet in the long-term management of inflammatory bowel disease. All others were absolutely resistant to offering any advice about what I could eat or avoid to improve my condition other than the standard "eat a low residue diet when you're experiencing a flare," which begs the question of what might be done diet-wise to AVOID flares. In short, I like him quite a lot and am recommending him to all my friends and family, including my husband."
"On time, staff great, office in kyle was super clean ( kinda important to me) didn't spend much time with Dr or have procedure because my problem fixed itself but I would definitely go back to cluley and would recommend"
