Dr. Ramsey Umar:
I found Dr. Umar to be very competent, professional and friendly. He instilled me with the confidence that he was genuinely interested in helping me and solving my digestive problem.

His staff is very friendly and helpful."

"Dr. Ramsey K. Umar is an incredible physician. He knows my history, and he knows me. He takes a personal interest in me. He doesn’t have to go look on his computer through the entire visit looking up information about me. He spends time talking to me face-to-face. He tells me what tests I need to complete and why. Also, when I do complete a test, he calls me personally and tells me the results. I just hope he doesn’t get too busy because he has so many outstanding recommendations that he may fall into the trap that most doctors do. They spend more time looking at the computer than looking at the patient. I give Dr. Umar my highest recommendation. More doctors need to learn from him how to be a real caring and loving physician."

"I recently visited Dr Umar and although seemed very busy he took the time to really listen to my symptoms and try to make the best diagnosis.
I’ve had burning sensation in my lower abdomen for a couple of months now and thought it was a UTI. I tried to treat it with several uti medications and nothing worked. My regular doctor recommended I see Dr Umar so i did and when I spoke to him about the symptoms I was having he recommended I take Prilosec because it sounded like acid indigestion problems. (I was a bit surprised as I had already taken other anti-acids.) He said that was stronger and believed my symptoms were associated to acid indigestion.
Well so far so good I feel great. Thanks Dr Umar!"
"Good listener. Explains the problem in plain English. Very skilled in performing his procedures and follows up diligently."
"Very good doctor. He told me not to worry he will take care of me. Had a col. and personally called me with results. I recommended him to my wife."
"Dr. Umar is probably one of THE MOST thorough, kind, methodical, and caring specialists that I've ever encountered.

His support staff is equally amazing. Troy is wonderful!"
"Dr. Umar is an attentive, caring physician who listens to your concerns. Very lucky to have him as my doctor!"
"Dr. Umar has been caring for me for years, caring for me! He is compassionate, and has a great " bedside manner" I love his staff, Troy is amazing. I've had so many issues and the care and after care is consistently exceptional. I recommend this place and all of the providers. Shauna is also super supportive and knows exactly what she's doing. Major thumbs up!"
"Dr Umar is professional and thoughtful. He addressed my symptoms, did multiple tests and diagnosed the problem. He prescribed a treatment and called to check up on me. I recommend Arizona Digestive and Dr Umar"
"I am so over the moon happy with Dr. Umar. The best Gastro Dr. I have ever worked with and I have had 25 years of GI issues some life threatening. My oldest son is 37 and has Autism. He needed to have an immediate Colonoscopy and Endoscopy and they got him in within 2 days of us calling. He had his procedure yesterday and they made him feel so comfortable, knew what would scare him and he came out with a smile on his face."
"Doctor Umar is one of the most wonderful, caring, and kind-hearted Doctors I have ever met. I have been struggling with unsolved medical problems my entire life, and about 9 months ago I couldn't eat, lost almost 40 pounds and I really didn't have 40 pounds to lose, and almost gave up hope on figuring out what was wrong and thought I was a psycho, and he went above and beyond what any doctor I have seen since this started, and made sure he figured out what was wrong with me. Now I am going to have surgery to no longer have problems. I am beyond thankful for him and his staff has been nothing but kind and caring during each appointment, phone call, and have made sure I was just at least okay. I would recommend him 20/10 to anyone."
"Dr. Umar is wonderful, always professional and knows your case!"
"I saw Dr. Umar for the first time today and am extremely happy!! He was caring, interested in what I had to say, answered my questions and made me feel completely at ease!! He understands my blood disorder and suggested help for me in many ways. I am 100% confident in him and that's based on just the first visit!! All staff I encountered were professional, helpful and friendly."
"Dr Umar is seeing me for multiple ailments and is always ready to answer questions with the latest information at appointments. He is constantly updating me and has no problems treating me and my wife as people rather than a case study. Additionally Troy Dr Umar's Medical Assistant is second to none. He is prompt, eficient and returns calls in a manner not often seen in the medical specialty fields."
"I am no spring chicken and have been treated by several GI doctors in the past. Out of all of them I have never had a doctor that was so knowledgeable and caring as Dr Umar. He is an excellent physician and I would recommend him to my family members or anyone else I know!!!"
"Dr Umar and his staff are great, they are very efficient and knowledgeable."
"Wow! Dr. Umar was great! I was so scared about having a colonoscopy until I confered with him...he set my mind at ease and answered all my questions, even about the endoscopy to check on my constant heartburn!
Then it was all over so quickly (well, I did sleep thru the whole procedure, thank you, God!), and I went home feeling so comfortable about the whole thing that I am now bugging my husband to have a colonoscopy, too! The staff was also so reassuring. 5 stars to this facility and to Dr. Umar, my new hero!"
