He has a very calming presence and he made me feel very comfortable. Annie was the anesthesiologist and she was so sweet.

I've missed work being sick with my colitis. They don't care. They don't want us better to all of you who choose them as a doctor you're writing your own death certificate if you keep going to see them. You will get so sicker with your Crohn's or colitis. You will never heal. Find another doctor get out. Save yourself. Do not under any circumstance keep seeing them. The doctors are quacks the office can't do their job from a patient who's been suffering they don't care they want me to suffer more and more. I give them a zero rating if I could, they are the worst out of all the doctors I've ever been to. They're the most uncaring and the most dysfunctional office.

Her boss called me back and sent me a text link to the forms.... perfect! I attempted to fill out their forms which were repetitive...I entered my name and DOB 6 times within 2 pages and I'm not sure how many pages were remaining because I was kicked off of the site...I thought, no big deal, it should save my progress and I'll continue...NOPE! start all over again. I get a little farther and have to enter name/DOB at least 2 more times but after entering the 10 meds that I'm on.... it kicked me off again! I am a computer technician and very tech savvy so I know how to use navigate. I immediately messaged the office but did not hear back from them for the 2 days leading up to my appointment. I go in to my appointment and the counter person asked about the documents so I told her what happened and that I can not/will not fill out by hand due to arthritis as well as other issues with dominant hand. She said "Yeah, people have been complaining about that, can you sign this one document and I'll talk to my boss?". I said ok. She goes to talk to her boss, the boss comes out, already has RBF (resting B face), with an attitude in her voice like she doesn't want to be there, and/or she is going to tell me what's up. I explained what happened with filing out the digital forms twice yet again and the only thing she offered was to cancel. She said..."So you want to cancel?", I said if that's my only option, she said "yep!". So I walked out! I wonder what the American Disabilities Act will have to say about how they are treating patients with medical disabilities that cannot fill out their documents, don't have someone to do it for them, and the forms link isn't working properly. Our medical industry sucks!

Hearing our family discussing our Dad's trauma in the French Hospital lobby one day 9 years ago you listened in just passing by, politely interrupted, took a personal doctor exam on James Carp that day, examined, evaluated, stated he had stones blocking his bile duct, did several surgeries, and James was cured within a week and recovered and lived to be a month short of 103 years old. I remembered your attitude, confidence, skills, talent. Awesome and impressive. Doc, I am suffering now, been 6 weeks and my Primary Care doctors and have no clue to my inability to eat and hold anything down, to swallow without blockage and irritation in my throat, choking, belching, continuous mucous/phlegm coming up, to breathe easily, to sleep, stand, sit, lie without suffering 24/7.

Unless they're calling you because they've screwed you up with someone else and ask why you didn't get your breath test done for H pylori??????

I understand the perils and trials and tribulations of the medical field currently with Covid, but this is ridiculous and completely unprofessional. No excuse.

Dr. Paul Wetzel and Aimee Hoffman provide the highest quality medical care, making my first…read morecolonoscopy an easy and pleasant experience. They work with a top notch professional staff that is: knowledgeable, caring, and have developed processes designed to provide their patients with the most pleasant possible experience. Starting with the initial consultation; they walked through my medical history and clearly explained all the risks/benefits of the procedure, ensuring that I felt comfortable with it and my questions were answered. They provided very clear instructions for the pre-procedure cleansing preparations, and the medication that they prescribed consisted of two small bottles of a fluid that didn't taste bad at all. I was very relieved that there was no need to ingest large amounts of horrible tasting chemicals like some of my friends had to do when they had their colonoscopies. They also called me three days before the procedure to go through the preparation instructions one more time and answer any questions that I may have. The day of the procedure, I was amazed at how thorough they were with their checklists and processes to make sure everything went flawlessly. Patty, the preparation nurse, was amazing. You could tell that through her thirty years of experience she had developed the communication skills that allowed her to be thorough with her questions, clear about what was going to happen, and at the same time keeping me at ease before the procedure. Additionally, I also meet with the anesthesiologist and doctor Wetzel before the procedure. They really went the extra mile to ensure that I was comfortable and well informed. When I woke up from the anesthesia, I was surprisingly clear minded. They use a type of anesthesia that wears off very quickly and doesn't impair you for an extended time after you wake up. After the procedure, doctor Wetzel came over and shared with me the results of the colonoscopy with a comprehensive report that included pictures taken during the procedure. He walked me through the report and ensured that all my questions were answered. Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend San Luis Gastroenterology to anybody as they operate under the highest quality standards with emphasis on providing the best possible experience for their patients.
