This is my first review of any kind and I am highly motivated to write it because, for the first…read moretime in years, I am free of IBS symptoms and of the "sibo" (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) that used to dominate my life. After experiencing stress and frustration from the failure and/or reluctance of local doctors to recognize and successfully treat the condition underlying my symptoms, I located, through research, Dr. Leonard Weinstock, whose GI practice includes sibo, and is a relatively short 4 hour drive from my home in Memphis. I was able to get an appointment with him within 30 days of my call and was requested to send a complete set of medical records. By the time I arrived for my appointment, Dr. Weinstock had a summary of my records, asked questions, and clarified issues so that he was able to give me a treatment plan before I left. While my local GI had treated me with Xifaxan, the very expensive, but also very effective drug to treat sibo, my sibo never went away. During the past 10 months since my first (and only) visit to Dr. Weinstock's practice, I learned to purchase the prescribed meds from Canada (the generic drug, rifaximin, at a reasonable price not available in the US) and prucalopride from the UK; had a colonoscopy and endoscopy (at my local GI office, but with input by from Dr. Weinstock) to rule out other conditions; and received dietary information from the SIG website and website links. While I felt better, and experienced an improvement in my symptoms, my sibo persisted until Dr. Weinstock suggested that I try an over the counter medication to dissolve biofilm, which could trap the sibo in my small intestine, where they do not belong. Apparently, this medication worked and, finally, I experienced the long-awaited "die off" of the bacteria and feel like a new person. The result of my 7th, and most recent, test for sibo, was "normal" for the first time ever. The knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Weinstock and the staff is excellent. As a patient, I appreciate the promptness with which phone calls are returned and questions are answered. I highly recommend this practice.

M. Louay Omran is a St. Louis Magazine "best doctor," with an impressive curriculum vitae (you can…read morefind it on the SLU Medical School website or google it) that inspires confidence. As I've said elsewhere, I really like practitioners who work in a teaching hospital and/or medical school because I believe there's a lot of competency and accountability built into such an interconnected system. Not only is there opportunity for consultation with fellow professors who are researching the latest and best, but there's also the instruction and mentoring of students. Personally, I know that when I have to teach something, I learn the subject matter better than when I am the end user. The teaching hospital and medical school connections make me more confident about the quality of care I'm receiving. And, the more confidence I have, the less anxiety I experience, which is a good thing since there's already plenty of anxiety built into receiving health care. Once, I was with an old friend before a procedure when the doctor entered with a "Good Morning. How are you feeling?" My friend replied, "I'm okay. But more important, how are YOU feeling?" When I saw Dr. Omran, it didn't matter so much how I felt. More important, he looked confident, caring, rested, and ready. The procedure went quickly, was painless, and had a good outcome. Thank you!

I met with him in the OR suite, and we discussed the procedure, possible complications and other details. I had questions. He had answers. A very open, personable and knowledgeable surgeon. GI is his specialty. THEN, I was anesthetized for the procedure. He came by recovery when I was "more" aware, and my sister was in the room (four ears are better than two), to discuss discoveries, how to move forward, prescriptions and diet. The knowledge is oh-so important. But the bedside manner counts for a lot, too. And he has both. Call January 24 from his office indicated -- after pathology was performed on the tumor -- it was exactly what was expected and benign (not some OTHER type of tumor) and that clear margins were achieved. Follow-up in six months.

Phone is not answered as often as it is. Often cannot leave a phone message. When you walk in, it says not to knock on the window, but instead fill out a slip, slide it under the window, and wait (often for a long time) with no acknowledgement. (They lost my slip once which cost me an hour of my life waiting.) You see the PA for pre-procedures and follow-ups which would not be necessary for routine tests that were completed with no symptoms, if they would just post results for tests onto a patient portal. Billing and insurance people are good, but they do not accept checks over like ~$200 (even for long time customers). And you have to pay a fee for using a cc.
