"After recovering from an infection in my intestines. Digestive Health Center took me through a thorough examination of my digestive tract. Dr. Monier’s PA took time explaining all that was happening and my follow up care. I am now 6 months out from that situation and I am in better shape than before. Thanks to everyone at the center for excellent care."
"Katy was very knowledgeable and spoke in a way that Mary could understand. I definitely would recommend her to anyone. I will go back when I get used to my diet"

"I am guaranteed a pleasant and thorough experience with my caregiver and the staff of this establishment on each visit. I appreciate the level of care and professionalism."
"I met Katie Hebert, NP, for an intake meeting prior to a referred endoscopy. She spent quite a bit of time reviewing and discussing my medical history and medicine management. Given my symptoms, she ordered an ultrasound which turned out negative but gave me a huge piece of mind, given my family history. She also adjusted meds and my symptoms are starting to abate. A very thorough visit and highly recommended. Thank you!"

Good job! Well done all!"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Charles Monier for many years. I began seeing him when I lost 17 pounds in a week back when I was welding. I was a heavy black pepper eater. I ate black pepper on white beans,tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Dr. Monier did my first colonoscopy. Told me I had colitis and treated me with medication. I have had colon screening over the years since. A few years back, he found a huge polip in my colon during a colonoscopy. He is an excellent doctor who I trust 100%. He doesn't have to tell me anymore to stay away from black pepper. His staff is friendly. Ms Gina is super friendly and nice. Over time,I have called for medication refills or different matters. She has always returned my calls promptly. She is surely a role model for the new workers to look up to. Katie and Dr. Stephen Duplechain are super too. They are super friendly and treat you with concern. Buy the way, I'm 58 years old and my mom raised me to always tell the truth. That is what I have just done."

When Dr. Monier came in, he also was very thorough on my history with my previous gastroenterologist and he covered all of my questions and I knew I was in the right place. I had an EDG a week later and the office and surgical unit are wonderful! So happy I picked this doctor and this clinic. Very satisfied!!"
"Dr Toups is the absolute best Gastro Dr I’ve ever had and I’ve lived all over the U.S. Caribbean and Pacific and no one is as understanding or caring as he always is. The visit to the Gastro Dr was always an appt I feared because the doctors are as mean as the issues you’re fighting but Not with Dr Toups he’s smile and manors make a world of difference and I will never use another Dr. to manage my Crohn’s disease. Much Mahalo’s LornaQ P.S. last but in no way least his nurse is also the best person in the world and it’s always so great to have her there. They are a great dynamic!"
