"Dr. Umar knows his stuff. I had diverticulitis, went through a complete dose of Augmentin that didn’t throw it, my primary care doctor prescribed me the same thing all over again for a second go around. dr. Umar prescribe me top-of-the-line antibiotics (the big guns, Levoquin & Metronidazole) which worked after the Augmentin wouldn’t. I was able to get rid of it, and felt better after three orfour days. He spent the time listening to my concerns, which I told him I didn’t think being on the same antibiotic that didn’t work the first go around, why would I wanna be on it a second go around. He agreed, and it did the job. I trust him."
"Dr. Umar is the best! Explained the procedure, results and answered all questions from me and my husband ( the question guy)!! Extremely grateful for the final results…"
"Great Dr. Went to ER for suvier pain. Had several tests and was told I was constipated. Went to Dr. Umar and after looking at the tests from the ER he discovered that my problem had nothing to do with my intestinal tract. It was a disc problem in my back!

Drs' MA waz friendly and after doing vitals left and then the Dr. came in. I've had many Dr's and have only had 1 other office and its entire staff be as professional, friendly, and thorough! Being a 3 time cancer survivor, I have seen it all. New to Az and this facility, I'm beyond impressed with the level of care I'm receiving. What a refreshing change!"

Dr Umar absolutely very personable and really took the time to listen to my issues and concerns from past medical doctors. I am truly very grateful and blessed to have Dr Umar as my doctor."
"While a Colonoscopy is not something you look forward to, I will say that I won't dread it in the future. Dr. Umar and his entire staff was very communicative, helpful, and caring. The instructions for the procedure were clear and concise and I was even texted a reminder on when to start prepping. At the procedure, everyone was so kind and efficient. I typically have issues with anesthesia but they listened to me and adjusted. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Umar, his practice and all of his staff."

"2nd procedure in 9 years with this wonderful Dr and staff! Everyone there is caring, friendly, knowledgeable, very safety minded making sure everything is perfect. Dr Umar comes by and says hello to his patients before the procedure. It means a lot! His office called the next day to make sure I was ok. It means everything in this rushed world we are in today! I highly recommend Arizona Digestive East Valley Endoscopy."

"If I could give him 10 stars I would. I’ve had this condition since 2017. Within 30 seconds of me explaining what was happening he pulled up the exact situation with a picture showing it on his computer. He is totally professional, yet friendly and kind. I get annual checkups regularly. I see my doctor (Dr. Saul Amber, who referred me to him. He even called him on his personal phone and told him he was sending me over.) at the first sign of anything I get checked. I had a colonoscopy done in the same facility as his office. I am 76 and in all my years of having procedures done, I have Never been so impressed with it!!! It ran like a well tuned clockwork."
"Ive seen Dr.Umar 5 times in the past 9 years. 3 office visits, 1 which was virtual during COVID that went very well. In addition I saw him 2 other times where he performed a Colonostocopy procedure. In all of the visits he was Very Courteous, Kind, Caring, Proffesional, Thorough, and Knowledgeable. He is Very easy to talk with and listens very well. An excellent comminicator. From there he gets right to the point explaining in lay terms what he believes is happening with symptoms and or tests provided. He will explain what he will do and what I needed to do prior to procedures. He explained the results of the procedures he performed in lay terms. In one case he reccomended a surgeon that I needed to see ASAP which I did and that surgeon performed very well. I have recommended Dr. Umar to a friend and to my wife. I would highly recommend Dr. Umar to anyone looking for a doctor for their gastero intestinals needs."

"I have been taking my special needs son to Dr. Umar for a year and a half now. We have a family history of colon cancer so my son needed a colonoscopy at only 20 years old and Dr. Umar agreed and made it happen with insurance coverage. Then my son started having GI problems a year later likely due to EDS and Dr. Umar's MA got him in quickly specifically to Dr. Umar. He is all about patient comfort and what is realistic for the patient, down to earth, no ego (but is phenomenal), genuinely cares, no long waits, explains everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!"

"11/18/22 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.

"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."

"Easy to make appt, staff friendly and helpful, wait time not bad. Dr. Umar listened to me, made a recommendation on a supplement, explained my problem to me clearly and referred me to someone he felt could help me. His supplement recommendation has apparently taken care of my problem. I would recommend him in a heartbeat"
"I absolutely LOVED this Doctor. He was so nice and polite. He told me that he was going to take good care of me. I really needed that as I have had colon cancer in the past. His staff was professional and nice as well. I have complete confidence in Dr. Umar"

"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!"

"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."
"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!!!"
"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."
"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 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."
"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!"
