"Kaitlin is amazing! From 1st visit she made me feel like a person and not just a number. Detailed and professional. All staff is caring and always so understanding and show true compassion. Thank you!"
"First of all Kaitlyn is wonderful. My appointments have been on time, and ended when they were supposed to end. I have been going there since Dr Kenny was there, and I keep coming because of the service. I come from Ahwatukee, so it isn’t actually close."
"The Doctors and Staff are very friendly and actually listen to what their patients have to say. They take their time and treat every concern with genuine compassion. I have to say I was very fortunate to be referred out to them. What a BLESSING!!!!"
"It's nice to have a Doctor sit and listen to you about your situation and be concerned about it. Not in a rush to get you out of the office. They are there for you and wants to get you in the right direction. Health care is so much better than CALIFORNIA."
"My original Dr retired so have a new one who I really like. They are friendly, knowledgeable and thorough so far so I am happy with this practice and it’s been at least 8 years or more. The staff is kind and customer service oriented and that means a lot!!!"
"The doctor who saw me was very nice and friendly. Explained things in detail and in a way that I could understand. I felt comfortable and not like a number. Thanks so much Arizona Digestive Health."
"Physician Assistant Caitlyn, was very kind, down-to-earth and friendly. She was very thorough explaining me my blood work and ordering and abdominal ultrasound. One of the staff member Aiden, was very courteous and extremely well mannered. The staff has always been polite and friendly."
"Had a good chat with Braiden on previous tests and my upcoming colonoscopy test. I didn’t wait very long before I saw him, and he and office staff were very pleasant and friendly and professional. Highly recommend Arizona Digestive Health."
"It is odd to write that I had a great experience having a colonoscopy, but(t) I did. My family has a history of colon cancer and I am not even in my mid-fifties yet and this is like my 7th colonoscopy. Woo Hoo! Dr. Adam Randolph and his supporting staff were fantastically awesome (I think I buried the lead here, sorry). I will be back in 2-3 years (yes, that is the joy that is my life. I get to do this every 2-3 years instead of 5+ like a normal human). The alternative is potential death by colon cancer. So, I'll keep doing it and you should too, since if it is detected early enough it is a preventable cancer (stepping off my soapbox now). Thank you Arizona Digestive Health! PS - I think it would be hilarious to post pictures and video of my procedure here. I'm sure they're available on YouTube, they just won't be me... or will they?"
"Everything was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Tharalson was very comforting and great bedside manner. Explained the procedure in detail and made all doubts vanish. Follow up has been thorough."
"I went here the other day, and I was a bit at a loss at what to expect as it’d be my first visit to a gastroenterologist clinic. To my relief, the staff was very comforting and respectful to me as I made my way into the patient room, and I was able to make my visit without any discomfort whatsoever! The esteemed Dr. Kaitlin assisted me and succeeded in finding a diagnosis for my ailment, which she did with upmost professionalism and accommodation. A tip for anyone seeking an appointment here as well is to tell a little anecdote during examination; I talked about how I came to make a pen-pal in my last neighborhood and the visit went by in minutes! If you’re unsure about making an appointment for this specific facet of health, be sure to check in here for a good experience!"
"I've been a patient of Dr. Drewtz for many years, service has always been great, everyone that works there is kind and they care about their patients."
"Braiden Fairbanks and the entire staff have always been helpful, informative and more important....attentive to my questions and concerns. They are great!"
"Went there for the first time to get a Colonoscopy, was interviewed by a nurse first, then the PA, all went smoothly! Got an appt at hospital for test, as I have health concerns, so can't be done in office."
"Everyone at this particular office was very professional, and took great care of me, which included the receptionist, the nurses and the PA thank you"
"The staff, ALL the staff are courteous & professional. The medical staff is attentive and knowledgeable. They give you all the time needed that answer any questions or concerns. I have not had a bad experience in this office."
"I was very impressed with the amazing Care I received.Kaitlin was extremely professional caring and ready to tackle my symptoms. I left the office knowing I will be getting better hopefully soon"
"Most professional, caring and attentive to the needs and concerns of my office visit to the office of Arizona Digestive Heath. The staff and office of Dr Mills is most outstanding. Cliff Running DDS"
"Attention to detail from start to finish. Registration was quick and seamless, the nurse walked me into room, took information about my condition and relayed it to P. A. Braiden Fairbanks. He had checked MyChart from my physician at my home hospital and so he knew me thoroughly through that. This history saved time and helped with prognosis and plan of action. Very Happy."
"Check in personnel were helpful. PA Fairbank was very professional and thorough. I expected nothing less, based on my visit five years ago. Anthony Staley"
"You guys got me in quickly and ordered the tests I needed. All of your staff members are friendly and work with a sense of urgency. I appreciate each of you."
"I really like Katelyn a lot. She spends time getting to know my concerns and history and addresses all of my questions in a way that I understand. In a short time frame I've seen so much improvement in my acid reflux. I'm extremely impressed with her and glad that I ended up in her care."
"Wonderful experience - the doctors and nurses at this facility are efficient and friendly. I was especially satisfied with the timeliness of the procedure."
"Had a good chat with Braiden on 10/27/23 about my upcoming test and bloodwork. I didn’t wait very long before I saw him, and he and office staff were very pleasant and friendly and professional. Highly recommend Arizona Digestive Health."
"The doctor Kaitlyn was really nice. I felt listened to and she developed a plan of action for me. Plus, it was easy to get an appt. The schedulers were nice. Waiting room staff were nice too."
"This medical facility is absolutely wonderful. From the moment I checked in to the moment that I saw Dr. Drewitz, it was a very relaxed atmosphere and very professional. The front desk workers are extremely friendly and the office just has a good vibe. I like this office and I like what they have built here."
"Absolutely amazing medical care. My mother has been suffering for almost two months now with 3 hospital visits and no solid answers or help for her pain until our visit here. We went to this office when her other GI couldn’t get her in and it was heaven sent. Dr Kaitlyn was extremely thorough, pulled up her records from her most recent hospital visit and went over all her health records. She was extremely kind, attentive and patient. ALL the staff here were very welcoming and helpful. We’re looking forward to continuing care with this office and can’t recommend enough. Thank you!!!"
"I had a great experience. Dr. Tharalson and all the staff made me feel very comfortable. I was well informed. They made sure I was comfortable. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. To all the staff, keep up the great work. I appreciate you all."
"It was my first time visiting this practice. Everybody was exceptional friendly and professional. I will nonetheless give a special thanks to Idene Serushan, the office manager, for guiding me through the process and taking excellent care of me. In addition, the P.A. Kaitlin was exceptionally warm and welcoming. Truly a great team of people! Thank you!"
"Such friendly staff!. Went in for a consultation and felt as though all my family member’s questions were heard and answered. Kaitlin is absolutely delightful."
"I firmly believe that Kaitlyn and Arizona digestive health saved my life. I have Crohn’s disease and I live in Sedona but I could not find a gastroenterologist anywhere in the area. After seeing multiple doctors who did nothing and visiting doctors offices who didn’t take Blue Cross Blue Shield for some reason, my wife found this place in Phoenix. They don’t require a referral like most places do so they got me in quickly and treated me properly. Holly, the infusion nurse, has been awesome as well. Everyone at this place seems to genuinely care for my health and I will continue to make the trip to see them. I now have two family members coming to this place for treatment also."

"Staff was wonderful! They answered my questions and made me feel welcome. Kaitlyn PA was kind, cheerful and smart and also answered all my questions. I felt very positive and optimistic about the plan for treatment. thank you!!"
"This was my first visit at this office. I saw a PA, ( doctors assistant) She was young, but wise. She was patient, kind & informative. I felt as if she really knew what she was talking about. I bet she was a straight " A" student! Most important to me...Is that I left there feeling like I saw the family doctor from my childhood. ☺️ That's a very good thing!!!! She said she was passionate about what she did. It showed .. and I thank you"
"I have been going to one doctor in their Coronado office for about a decade. My experience has been mixed. Recently, however, I have had two appointments with a Braden Fairbrinks of this same office. He is excellent. Actually behaves as a physician should behave - is thorough and open to questions."
"Hopefully during upcoming colonoscopy, the doc will be able to look at appendix to assess any signs of appendiceal cancers, as it has recently been found to be hereditary."
"I had an appointment with Braiden Fairbanks with Arizona Digestive Health yesterday. Yes, he is young, but he is also more kind, professional, empathetic, and thorough ( answered all of my detailed questions) then medical practitioners twice his age. The most important thing he gave me during my visit was "HOPE". Those words were priceless! Thank you Braiden for giving me the knowledge and encouragement to successfully manage my illnesses."
"Took my dad to his appointment and found the staff and Dr. Braden very friendly and thorough. The consultation was truly an experience of excellent doctor/patient discussion. Thank you. I highly recommend this office."
"The office is nice. The front office staff are friendly. So are the medical staff. For my treatment, everything was explained clearly and completely. It was a pleasant experience."
"I would recommend Arizona Digestive Health to everyone. The entire staff was friendly and extremely informative. The doctor was amazing and answered all of our questions."
"I had a great endoscopy at this facility. Everyone was so friendly and efficient. I was in and out so quickly but didn’t feel any part was rushed or not thought through. Totally recommend!"
"All the Dr's are great here, but Braiden Fairbanks,PA-C has truly helped me the most to work with my disease. He's tried so hard to give me as much relief as possible and I thank you. My life is better now than the last 9 months of suffering. I'm blessed to have someone like him who cares. If u need help, COME HERE!!!"
"Dr. Drewitz is the most responsive, caring, and knowledgeable Doctor. He adjusts care plans promptly and accordingly. He is always accessible to questions and office visits are always on time. He spends adequate time with you during office visits and answers all questions throughly. The entire staff here is also very good. They always are friendly and very helpful."
"Dr. Tharalson was a pleasure to deal with. I left feeling like my health was in good hands. I also appreciate all of the covid precautions that are in place. Very thorough. No having to wait in close proximity to others. Anything a patient comes into contact with gets wiped down frequently/after use. They even sanitized the pens between each use👏👏"
"Just had my colonoscopy this morning went in with the most fear did a semi conscious procedure and didnt feel anything the staff top notch all the way from the dr.to nurses to the anesthesiologist careing that you were comfortable all the way through your procedure anyone thinking about it please give them a try they do care about the patient. Thank you dr.drewitz you and all your staff that was part of my procedure your all the best"
"Dr. Mills is very knowledgeable and caring. He spent quite a bit of time with me explaining my test results. I was referred to him by my gastroenterologist who is a top doc in Phoenix."
"Extremely knowledgable, patient and accommodating. Keeps himself updated on the latest surgical and medical techniques, and introduced me to a far better treatment for GERD than the standard Nissen. The TIF procedure he performed has been a life changer after suffering with acid reflux for 20 years. No ill effects, and I have absolutely no acid problems since the day the surgery was performed."
"Dr. Shiva is a great Dr. he was very knowledgeable and took a great concern to my husband's medical condition , we are very pleased to have him as my husband's Dr"
"Excellent experience! From the moment I arrived through the moment I left. Dr Randolph and staff were great! It was my first time colonoscopy and I was treated with respect and it was a breeze. Thank you!"
