Reviews for ADH Mesa - Baseline 603
"My provider, Laurie Peterson MA is very knowledgeable and easy to discuss medical concerns/issues. She has a pleasant demeanor. I would recommend her for anyone that needs a great GI provider."
"Dr. Patel is very patient, understanding, and kind, and he listens to my concerns. He took the time out of his busy schedule to explain the issues regarding my disease and symptoms. The staff is also very accommodating."
"Very friendly staff and doctors in a lovely, clean office. Dr. Verma was especially pleasant and took the time to answer all of my questions as if he had all the time in the world to spend with me. I had a question that I forgot to ask during the appointment. A staff member made note of it and the office called me the very next morning with the answer. You need to make an appointment in advance as they are quite busy, but it was definitely worth the wait to be treated with such kindness and respect."

"Dr Saperstein is excellent. I’ve been going to him for over ten years."
"I saw Laurie Peterson for the first time yesterday and am so grateful I did. She didn’t want to settle on a diagnosis, give me medication, and send me on my way like most doctors do. She gave me a lot of helpful information about my situation that my previous doctor (who diagnosed me) didn’t even tell me. She believes in finding the root cause of the issue, rather than just treating the symptoms at hand to make you feel like you’re getting better when really the issue is still there. When I left the office, I immediately called my mom in happy tears because I was so thankful to have found someone who genuinely cares and has a plan of action! I feel very good about my treatment going forward. As someone who’s been to several different facilities over the last decade, I can confidently say this office provided the best healthcare I’ve experienced in a long time."

"During my initial consultation, Dr. Verma answered every question in terms that I and my wife could easily understand. He also explained why using SUPREP (Soo-prep) Bowel Prep Kit was more effective in helping to ensure that the bowels would be completely evacuated. Although I followed the preparation procedures to the letter, Dr. Verma was concerned that because of my specific combination of other health conditions, that it would be preferable, out of an abundance of caution, to delay my procedure by an additional hour. During that delay he stopped by several times to reassure me. I appreciated the personalized care and attention provided by Dr. Verma and his assistants, the Nurses and other support staff and was discharged with only a slight delay from what had been anticipated. All said, the thought of a "Colonoscopy" is a lot less concerning than it used to be. A big thanks to all who made that possible!!! :)"

"Very nice to find a specialist doctor that treats you like a human and not just a number. I Never felt rushed during my appointment and he answered all my questions. He went over step by step as to why a procedure needed to be done. With all the information written below, I will still stay with this doctor forever. However the employee at the check out desk was completely the opposite. The few questions I asked her seemed to annoy her. I needed paperwork for my labs, ultra sound and date & time for my procedure. She never looked up at me or gave me eye contact. When I asked a question, she would interrupt me and would ask "Do you know where they are located?" Before I could answer she would toss paperwork toward the counter at me. Then repeat. I just stopped and asking for anything. Regardless, I'm staying with this doctor."
