"Dr. Philip and his team are top notch. Polite, personable, professional, and knowledgeable. I truly appreciate the level of care here…..different than what I now consider (health care) to be a profit based (instead of a care based) system."
"Great for experience with Michelle Hendrickx! Michelle spent a great amount of time with me and created a great care plan. Ashley (Ashlee?) is the best, most amazing scheduler i’ve encountered. She was thorough, concise, and extremely personable on the phone going over scheduling and my appointments. She should run the whole thing, Ashley is the all time scheduler! Thank you for making what seemed impossible, possible for me as a patient."
"Excellent attention, they facilitated communication in Spanish, the Dr. was also very attentive to what I told her and very kindly gave her recommendations, very valuable for me that she was Latina and spoke to me in Spanish. Also the girl at the reception was very kind, I highlight that she also spoke Spanish and they helped me a lot. Very high value for me"
"I was very happy with the doctor that I saw. She was very nice, informative, and had a wonderful demeanor. She put me at ease as she explained a procedure to me. I'd highly recommend her. The scheduler that I saw was very nice and explained how she would get me the quickest and best appointment for me. They were both very caring, and I felt that they truly cared about my health."
"Fast, friendly, thorough experience seeing the front desk, the nursing staff, the doctor (Dr Ganguli) and the lab. Always glad for positive, caring experiences in healthcare!"
"Dr. Barker was so polite and cared about my health. She explained everything on my chart to us she seems very passionate about what she does for a living. Keeping her as a Dr. as long as i can"
"Staff was very friendly and helpful and the procedure was quick, totally painless and no after effects at all I appreciate the aftercare and follow up"
"Dr. Sugar and his staff are amazing. They greet you with a smile. They have a friendly attitude. Dr. Sugar is kind and knowledgeable. He makes sure you understand what you need to do. Washington Gastroenterology is a safe and friendly place"
"For a procedure I wasn't looking forward to, everyone was very cordial and professional and it went easier than I imagined it would. Not as big of a deal as it sounds like it is."
"When I got to the building and then the front desk was a very pleasant experience. The young man was very engaging and pleasant. I hope to always deal with him when I visit the office again."
"Dr Sugar and all the staff are exceptional. They kept me informed at every step. Everyone is kind and have excellent bedside manors. Follow the prep and they will do the rest to keep you healthy."
"Well , this is my first time with doctor HOLDER MAN ! But according to everything he had scheduled for me to do ? It well done , am looking forward to seeing him on my schedule for my procedure on 9/11/24"
"My experience with Dr. Agrawal and his back office staff was wonderful. I think I met three if not four that were kind and welcoming. However, the woman in the reception chair as you enter the office had no personality or welcoming manor about her at all - just a matter of fact efficient type of person. So be patient and get to the back office and everything will be great!"
"everyone was so welcoming and nice, the waiting area is so relaxing and really pretty, the doctor I saw was extremely nice and made me feel comfortable right away. so happy I got referred to this office"
"Michelle is a wonderful physician. She’s thorough, nice, never rushing, patient, and always a pleasure to be under the care of. We always leave with our issues resolved."
"My meeting with a Physician’s Assistant (PA) was a pre-procedure event in response to my Primary Care Provider’s desire to determine cause for a new condition. The procedure had been referred outside my primary health network. I was pleased with the information exchange during this appointment. The PA prioritized this procedure more highly than the referral had initially been given upon receipt. The procedure is now scheduled in about 30 days. I look forward to the diagnostic outcome."
"From the moment you check in, I felt cared for. They communicate each step clearly. I always feel like I’m in good hands. All the staff are caring and professional. Thank you"
"Sharon Barker was so kind and made sure to take the time to go over my concerns and answer my questions…. A hard thing to find these days. Thanks, Marta"
"Great experience every time. Receptionist is always nice and friendly. My doctor is the best. Answers. All my questions gives me great feedback, and I’m grateful to have her. She has my best interest in mind."
"Michelle Hendricks has been my GI provider for over 20 years. I don't need to say how good she is and the service WAGI cares. They deserve five stars!"
"WAGI is great. I have had 2 colonoscopies while under there care Dr. Tauman did the first he retired this year. Great Doctor I Nasala as my GI person now and she is great. I feel very comfortable talking to her. Back when I first had my colonoscopy they discovered that I had IBD with constipation now after the second colonoscopy we are still working on the right amount of Maselamine and Linessz to regulate my bowels. Great place 👍👍"
"I always have an excellent visit. Staff and my Dr. Jason are very pleasant. Dr. Jason make sure all questions are answered . He also make sure and understand your issue before you leave."
"Everyone seemed pretty cool and down to earth, I felt heard. As an African American woman I felt like I got what I needed from my Procedure and doctor visits."
"Michelle is the best Getting to see her is not easy.. twice I had to go to emergency ‼️ that shouldn’t be when you have all the auto immune issues that I do."
"The clinic was easy to find, and I had the help I needed to fill out the paperwork. I didn’t have to wait long before seeing a doctor, who was thorough & efficient, and willing to listen… as were the nurses. I had blood drawn for a lab, which was more pleasant than I had ever experienced! Going back there will be no cause for trepidation. I felt comfortable there."
"I arrived 30 minutes early and checked. The receptionists were very friendly as we engaged in conversation, so much so that I didn’t hear the nurse calling my name. The nurse was very friendly also and made me laugh when she asked do I drink, and I replied no. So she said not even for holidays, I replied no. Afterwards I laughed because it was funny. Then my doctor, Michelle Hendrickx came in and we talked about my health like we were two close friends concerned about what we were talking about. Michelle and Dr. Holderman are the Bess at what they do. He is kind and compassionate about his patients and when he does my procedures, I feel very confident in him and the entire staff at Waldron Endoscopy Center. If you has gastrointestinal issues, please check this place out."
"I was very pleased with my follow-up visit at wagi Gastroanterology. I felt heard, understood and actually felt Jason is concerned for my well-being. I was quit nervous initially but Jason’s demeanor put me at ease, creating a comfortable and reassuring environment throughout the visit."
"I always have an excellent visit. Staff and my Dr. Jason are very pleasant. Dr. Jason make sure all questions are answered . He also make sure and understand your issue before you leave."
"Getting older sucks, getting a colonoscopy doesn't when Dr. Agrawal is taking care of you. His entire team were awesome, and made the process easy and painless."
"I had a teleconference with Jen who is a PA. I haven’t had much help from WAGI but Jen is amazing I was very impressed with her, she is caring truly concerned and she follows through with what she says she is going to do. It’s truly a shame she is leaving because this practice needs more people like her."
"Linda, James and Jennifer and Brittney are Amazing here! They help with all the details and stay on it til it's done! I've had repeatedly failed attempts to get surgery because of other medical outfits relating or losing my referrals but the team here is always at work even on the weekends an emergency line on standby!!! I went a year battling bleeding daily and once I got Nasla as my specialist she immediately first visited nailed it that it was a Vascular issue and within the same month I was diagnosed with MALS/ Celiac Artery Stenosis Disease! If it wasn't for their team and doctors being so passionate about what they do people like me would suffer a lot more. I'm suffering a lot but their prompt help goes a long way! They have more impact and influence in others lives than I think they realize but they obviously know that it is a Big deal to expedite people in emergency situations like I've been between bottling extreme pain constantly and months without income til I came to Nasla and she diagnosed me and signed my income forms!!! I so Appreciate this team! I'd give there team 5 stars! There's many other places one could go but I'd you want to be diagnosed correctly the first time request Nasla!!!"
"2 ARNP were very nice. The rest front desk people were ok. Lab person ok. One in the office not friendly. People over the phone are grumpy not happy at all. No customer service. Example the one who scheduled my appointment is one. I can't even ask questions because she's not nice."
"I would like to say that I am very pleased with the care that my brother, Henry J. Lee, received at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, WA. The nurses explained every procedure that was performed and were very carry and compassionate. The Doctors always took the time to tell me what was going to happen when they were getting ready to perform another procedure on Henry, that was necessary to improve his health and condition. Thank you everyone! 😊"
"Excellent medical care provided. During the intake interview, the questions posed displayed an understanding of my concerns and needed knowledge for preliminary diagnosis."
"Jenn has provided excellent care and truly listened to my concerns with a curious mind and a clear desire to help me find answers. The biggest challenge has been getting through to someone in between appts when I have questions or concerns about my symptoms. I find this relevant since I'm doing all I can to stay out of the ED and Urgent care."
"I suffer from GERD and Dr. Sharon Barker has been working with me to find ways to make me more comfortable, including a swallowing test and increasing my medication as a result of that test."
"Excellent experience. Plenty of information leading up to the procedure. Great communication leading up to procedure. Day of procedure was a very professional experience that I would have no problem doing again."
"I’m always seen soon after arrival and never are in the room waiting for Joyce. Check in at desk and back room am always treated with respect and friendliness. They’re always 100%"
"The staff at the check-in desk was very nice and helpful. The nurses in the back were kind and relieved my anxiety. Met the Dr and he was kind, reassuring and I could understand everything he said. I have difficult veins and the anesthesiologist did a great job even after 3 failed attempts by 2 others on site. Procedure went off without complications and the nurse answered all my questions. I left feeling fine in the care of my caretaker and had no complications. Thank you everyone, see you all in ten years!"
"The staff was extremely warm and caring. There was a comment made while coming out of anesthesia that was an unkind assumption that I did not appreciate. Thinking someone can’t hear you is not an excuse."
"Very caring team of doctors and nurses at Washington Gastroenterology. Dr Sanjay Agrawal was very polite, professional and understood my concerns. He addressed each issue I had and followed up with me the day after my procedure."
"This is the best place to go for colonoscopy...they make it very easy...from the prep with all the supplies they give you, which makes doing the prep a piece of cake, all the way thru past the procedure itself...the staff is very professional and very nice and they make you feel comfortable...I highly recommend them.."
"The wait in the office was short. Dr Agrawal was very knowledgeable, personable, took the time to listen to what I had to say, prescribed something that worked quickly and is very effective. (The only downside is that it took quite a while to get an appointment, but it was definitely worth the wait.)"
"Dr. Agrawal was my savior a few years ago. No one could find what was wrong with me until Dr. Agrawal, he is truly amazing. I would recommend Dr. Agrawal always."
"I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Agrawal and the office staff, Dr. Agrawal is very informative and friendly, it’s hard to find a great doctor! The staff is friendly, helpful and all around are great with their customer service."
"Dr Agrawal has been my gastro guy for several years. He is always very thorough, seems to know the right questions to ask, and has gotten to the bottom of any problems that I seem to be having. I am stable these days, but it's always good to have the routine 6 month checkup with him. He does his job very, very well!"
"Dr agrawal and team completed my first colonoscopy. I was nervous and uncomfortable with the thought of this procedure but reassured by staff that the experience would be quick and painless. The staff made my visit comfortable and efficiently put me to sleep during the quick procedure. I’m pleased to have completed my first colonoscopy and have no future trepidation about return visits for future re-checks. I advocate that everybody 45 and older complete a colonoscopy per the updated health guidelines regarding colon cancer screening."
"My visit was relatively timely and very informative from all staff. The facility was very clean and I would definitely recommend this facility and the providers."
"I received excellent care and he was very professional and caring, my procedure was a piece of cake thanks to Dr Agrawal and his awesome staff. I would definitely recommend him"
"Everyone is always friendly, professional and very efficient. While the procedure is not one I generally look forward to, Dr Agarwal and his staff make it much less stressful and tolerable."
"Sanjay Agrawal M.D. is a very informative Physician. He explained the procedure. Taking care of me as professional and got me on my way in excellent timing."
"The clinic is ran with military precision! Everything was so efficient and shows advance planning. Each person I meet knew their duties and was very professional. I would recommend this clinic to friend and family. Thank you,"
