"Dr. Petro is a fabulous doctor. She’s a wonderful care-giver. She insists on a diagnostic test if she thinks there’s even a slight chance there might be something wrong. This characteristic alone puts her in a higher class of doctor. I have found there are other gastroenterologists who are not quite as willing to prescribe a colonoscopy or an endoscopy - and these tests are priceless! Dr. Petro makes being a patient almost an easy thing. She’s pleasant to talk to. She’s great!"
"My experience with Dr. Petro was wonderful; it was a night and day difference from my experience with the previous gastroenterologist who had performed my previous three colonoscopies. Before making an appointment with Dr. Petro, I did some research and learned that she was extremely competent, well thought of by her colleagues and patients, had excellent reviews for her academic (research) work as well as for her private practice, and had extremely high professional and personal ethics. I was very impressed with the staff at the GI Associates Endoscopy Center in Madison, from the intake clerk to the post-procedure nursing care. The nurses were very courteous, professional, and efficient. easy to talk with, and compassionate. They exhibited compassion, a true servant’s heart, and the best in all aspects of patient care. They were easy to talk with, had a good sense of humor and liked to laugh (which I consider to be a sign of good mental health), and made me feel that I was safe and secure, and (to borrow a phrase from an Allstate Insurance Company commercial) that I was in good hands. Likewise, the staff in the procedure room were just as caring and competent, and I appreciated the anesthesia they provided. I remember nothing and, more importantly, felt nothing. It was good to have a few minutes with Dr. Petro before the procedure started and for her to go over what she would do chronologically and then give me as much time as I needed to ask questions, but I don’t recall having any. I do remember her smiling and I appreciated that. I like to see people smiling, particularly my doctors, and particularly before they’re getting ready to do something to my body. It was a friendly smile and was comforting to see before I went to sleep. The report I received afterwards from Dr. Petro was very thorough and included color pictures (suitable for framing) of everything she removed. Since 1995, I have had a colonoscopy every three years, and as long as I continue to live in this area, I will continue to ask Dr. Petro to perform them for me. She has earned my trust for which I am very thankful."

"Dr. Petro is amazing. She listens ! This is extremely important. She makes your experience personal and does not treat you like a number. Most importantly she involves you 100% in your care management. I highly recommend her ! I, too, am a provider so I’ve seen how being treated as a number negatively impacts outcomes ! She has it right!"

Every one on staff was extremely professional and so kind and compassionate. I thanked them for the important service they provide to others. In Christ Alone, Betty"

She really cares for her patients and doesn’t make you feel like just another patient. She takes her time with you and probably has the sweetest voice ever."

"Love Dr. Petro , she and her staff is very courteous and professional."
"Great service with a lot of smiles! Reception was very friendly and personable. Great sense of humor as well as good service! I had expected, like you do at any medical facility, to wait at least an hour past my scheduled procedure time but I was in the back and in my “modesty” gown on time. The nurses were friendly and very communicative which helped me to be relaxed about a procedure that can cause most people a great deal of anxiety. Dr. Petro took more time than I would have expected to explain the procedure which was appreciated. After the procedure she explained everything very clearly. Service with a smile doesn’t begin to explain it. Dr. Petro just seemed to be in such a good mood I, again, was made to feel very calm and comfortable. Perfect bedside manner from everyone and prompt service. What more could you ask for?"

"Dr. Petro listened to all my concerns. Now we have a plan to proceed with each issue."
"I really like that they listen to my concerns.. then they approach the situation in a timely manner.. Thanks as well to the staff.. for being nice & polite"
