"I met Dr. Gulinson last week for the first time. He let me tell him my about my stomach issues I've been having for about 4 months. I wasn't rushed and he listened. He had quite a few questions he asked me afterwards. I felt he was thorough and I have my next appointment scheduled. He was recommended to me by both my mom and aunt."
"I would honestly have rated this experience a 5 except that the scheduler assured me that if I arrived at my check in time I would be seen at my appointment time and out in 30 - 40 minutes. This was simply not the case. I waited for 75 minutes after my check-in time for about. 10-15 minute visit. Thankfully I really liked Dr Gulinson and his manner overall."

After getting into the office, and having the procedure it was 5 star. Special shout out to Rhonda the RN. Definitely, makes you feel at ease."
"The staff was very helpful."
"Dr Gulison is an excellent doctor who listens carefully and takes the time to get the answers you need. He helped my girlfriend figure out her problem that she's been dealing with for a long time.

"I would give Dr. Gulinson 10 stars if I could! 20! He is kind and understanding - truly an expert in his field. I've been seeing him for about 7 years and he's seen me through some hard times. His approach is maybe a bit on the conservative side, which I really appreciate. My last appointment I was in bad shape and struggling, well on my way to a full on flare-up. He listened to me, took probably extra time to talk about my options and made sure I understood. Suggested some changes to medication and talked me through the changes. Dr. Gulinson and his office staff are wonderful - above and beyond what's "in the job descriptions" for sure. I recommend them whole-heartedly and without reservation."

Dr. Meline is one of those unique individuals. He gave us wisdom beyond our expectation, and we are incredibly grateful for all of his time and support. Thank you. Your office compassion and passion to truly see people get better is amazing! It’s not just marketing, you’re doing it! Thank you"
"The prep for a colonoscopy is so difficult that it leaves you with fear. When I arrived I was instantly put at ease. The nurse that did my iv was great,as you only stuck me once with no pain. That never happen with me. I was taken back where I again saw Dr Lam and the ansthesist. Went to sleep easily awoke to very good news. The facility was better than going to the hospital.
