Digestive Disease Associates

Wonderful!

ANSWERS QUESTIONS AND CUTS THROUGH THE BS. KNOWS HIS TRADE AND IS A VERY GOOD DOCTOR.

In my opinion he is a very smug, condescending and judgmental. Any experience with him as a physician - and I use that term lightly - is always the same. Awful. He acts as though he is the one paying to see you when in fact the patient is paying his salary, so wouldn't you think he would be friendly and compassionate? He is a blight on the doctors that began that practice. Why are there no zeros in your rating system? I would rate him a zero. One star is too high for a person of his caliber. Based upon my experience with doctors from Charlotte to Cleveland Clinic, In my opinion this is a poor excuse for a doctor (?). I would never recommend this doctor and suggest you choose any other doctor in this practice than Garretson He has no compassion, care or concern and is a absolutely no help. In my opinion, he should retire as he must have forgotten the Hippocratic Oath he took when becoming a doctor. Or may be he skipped that part of school. Very disappointing. 0 stars.

Efficient staff. Saw the Nurse Practioner first- she was very thorough and kind. Dr Patel then comes in- very down to earth and cuts through the BS. I was in, out and scheduled in breeze and he found the issue and fixed it fast! The only thing I wish is that they were able to do blood work in the office- for this I had I go to a lab.

Saw Dr. Patel about slight bleeding and colonoscopy. Initial history and exam done by his good P.A. Dr. Patel has a nice, breezy manner. He puts you at ease and explains very thoroughly. He works fast, but is willing to listen. An extremely busy office, as they are the only GI folks in town.

Really nice guy and great bedside manner. Helped me navigate my issues and allowed me to save a lot of money on useless scans and tests!

Dr Patel is the very thorough and kind.

This guy had to be convinced three times by the primary care doctor to do an endoscopy, because my family member had lost alot of weight due to vomiting and dehydration. Then he made a routine appt instead of an urgent appointment when my family member was dying of stomach cancer. He reluctantly did the endoscopy, then he found a "massive tumor" in his stomach. "Massive". Then he forgot to actually measure the massive tumor. This guy is completely incompetent. Beware of this lazy doctor.

Had a very good experience with Dr Garretson and would definitely see again and recommend him.

I found Dr Garretson to be very knowledgeable and informative. He was professional and helpful in my care.
