Reviews
Just had my yearly consultation with Dr went great always takes time to hear me out and answer my questions. Check in with quick easy and on time. I have used this facility endoscopy center on Whitney road in Independence Missouri since the late 80s always have been seen reasonable amount of time taken care of by all who attended when I had procedures.
Very professional office. Staff and doctor we're all very friendly and obviously know their business. Highly recommend.
When they put the second warm towel on me before the procedure. I was then very quickly in a happy place. I woke up and felt really good.
Dr U, the nursing staff, and entire medical team were amazing,! They were professional, informative, and gave me helpful suggestions for improving dietary and health needs. I would highly recommend Dr U and his team of medical professionals for your Gastrological needs!

Friendly and professional they tell you what will happen and explain afterwards what they found. All this in an easily understood manner.
The staff is very helpful and courteous, they got me right in and gave me all the information I needed and out in a very quick manner
Friendly, caring and compassionate from walking in the front door, to exiting the building. Thank you.
Dr. U and his team were exceptional…from the reception at the front desk, to the nurses and support pre and post procedure! I would highly recommend this location.
This was the best outcome I could ask for. I was treated with kindness. The test went well. All my questions were answered. The doctor was amazing. I had no after affects. I am on a new medication that is working. I am very pleased with my medical care
Dr. Utarnachitt was patient and understanding addressing my concerns about my GI issues. Never felt rushed and explained my issues that gave us a better understanding. Thank you.
I can’t remember her name but the nurse who took me back and got me prepped for my endoscopy was the sweetest woman ever. She let me ramble while she put the iv in for my anxiety, and explained everything clearly and concisely. The doctor was pleasant and professional, though I only spoke with him for a few minutes before the procedure. The anesthesiologist and nurse cracked jokes once I was in the room to keep me calm, which helped me not feel so awkward about the giant plastic piece in my mouth. All in all one of the best medical experiences I’ve had. You can tell that everyone there likes working together, it was almost a laid back atmosphere, but still very professional. This is Phoebe Monsees, I would highly appreciate you passing my comments on to my team, they were great!
