"Dr.Silvers is one of the most skilled and competent doctors in his field. My family has depended on his care for many years and he is remarkable. Because of his expertise, my mom has lived many years beyond others having diagnosed that she had cancer (2x)!!! Without him she would not have reached her 91st birthday! She did NOT have “C”. Thru his intervention, I myself was spared a potential problem. My procedures last week went well. Thankyou Dr.Silvers ! Your the BEST👏👏👏❤️"
"I was sick as hell throwing up with no end in sight for my agony. Emergency room degens didnt even tell me that i could let nausua medicine melt on my tongue. Didnt even tell me i couldnt eat grapes. Sooo much suffering until i found this place. They saw me same day and i swear...i cant thank them enough for the mercy and kindness from the front desk staff, to the nurses, and dont get me started on Dr.K. i knew soon as i saw him he'd get me right. Ty doc and ty to the staff and employees of Metro Gastr. I couldnt never repay yall enough for helping me."
"To me Dr. Wegmann is a God sent. When I was referred to him I had already had my gallbladder removed and I wasn't able to eat ANYTHING without going to the bathroom literally seconds afterwards. Dr. Wegmann put me on medication that literally gave me my life back. I was finally able to go back out in public and eat without the fear of getting sick.
I recommend him 110%. He is an awesome doctor, he is professional and a people person. He is super easy to talk to. It's like talking to a friend.
Thanks Dr. Wegmann!"
"- could not have been easier... very pleasant environment and staff. Dr Hymel is very caring and thorough."
"I would highly recommend Dr Hymel at Metro GI ! I started my journey in Feb 2021 after a mild bout of Covid that turned into varied symptoms that wouldn’t let up. Dr Hymel was just one of the 28 doctors that has crossed my path and I can tell you he is one of the absolute best! He spent time with me, he listened to me , even took me last minute when one day I started having random painful stomach pains. He even checked to see how my apt went the next day with another specialist bc he genuinely cared about what the outcome was. I have had 2 procedures with Dr Hymel , my experience was easy and not stressful. He took the time to go over results and answered any questions or concerns that I had. The staff at Metro GI is exceptional . I even personally witnessed Goldie , one of the staff members, help a patient with his intake form in the waiting room. She was so patient and I could tell she definitely made this patient’s day! It’s so nice to see kindness! I rarely write reviews but this one is so deserving! If you are looking for a GI specialist, look no further , Dr Hymel should be your pick!"
"All of entire team at Metro GI did an awesome job. Dr. Guider was very calming and re-assuring and every person explained what they were doing. Awesome experience! I mean, I wouldn’t take it over a Marci Gras parade but for having a scope shoved up my orifice it was a great experience."
"My overall experience was acceptional."
"I am so thankful to have had dr silvers for my doctor. He is patient and kind. I am so comfortable with him. I always feel better when I leave his office, his staff is also wonderful.

Take it from someone who has been a patient for over 30 years, Pick this office , try it for yourself, you will be relieved you made the right choice."
