She also recently diagnosed a serious autoimmune condition after listening carefully as I described my symptoms. Dr. Carson is an exceptional diagnostician who acts decisively, thus eliminating the need for unnecessary tests or medication. To my surprise, some patients' reviews said she is rude. She is a very direct, no-nonsense person, not rude. I would much rather a doctor be an expert in their field and communicate clearly than one who addresses you as "sweetie" and sugar-coats things. Dr. Carson is actually a very nice person and an outstanding doctor who genuinely cares about her patients.

I started out on foot, thinking it was close enough to walk from the University Inn. It is not! I called the center several times to let them know I was trying to get there and not to give my slot away. I was so afraid they would! I got within a half a mile and calle agaian and asked if they had any transportation. They called an Uber ride for me and they were there within 2 minutes! I am grateful to Michael at this center for doing that. It's what I should have done, but in my panic state of mind I did not. I was an hour late, but got there and got through the procedure. Dr. Rausher and his staff are wonderful!! I highly recommend!!

I had a great experience with Ngozi Okoro at Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates, LLC…read more Originally, my endoscopy and colonoscopy were scheduled for the end of May, but once Dr. Okoro and her team understood the timing needs related to my upcoming surgery, they worked with me to move everything up sooner. I really appreciated how they recognized the importance of timing and helped make it work. Her staff was friendly, helpful, and kept me informed throughout the process. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Okoro was professional, thorough, and reassuring. She performed both procedures smoothly, removed two polyps for biopsy, and made sure everything was handled with care. Afterward, she took the time to speak with my wife and me and clearly explained the findings. Aside from the polyps and a mild case of diverticulitis, everything looked good and I was cleared for my upcoming surgery. Her office also sent the results promptly to my surgeon, which made the whole process seamless. Overall, I really appreciate the level of care, communication, and efficiency from Dr. Okoro and her team. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing GI care.

I waited 9 months for them to schedule a routine colonoscopy and they never did, so I had to leave the practice. The doctor is very good, but I suspect they started a DEI program.

My experience led me to speaking with an off-shore scheduler for my colonoscopy; my rep was difficult to understand, continued to cut in and out, and finally was completely disconnected before the phone call was completed. I did not receive a call back after being disconnected, but I did receive an email confirming the appointment but did not receive any instructions regarding preparation procedures. A week before my procedure I called the office because I still did not received any information regarding preparation procedures and got transferred to a virtual agent. The virtual agent then sent me to "gift heath". I finally got a human at "gift health" who informed me that my prescription was ready and that I needed to pay them a $10 co-pay and it would be mailed to me. I was NEVER informed of "gift health" for the prescription so I hung up in frustration. I checked my portal and no where were there instruction or information regarding "gift health" or preparation procedures. I then called back the main office back several times in my efforts to speak with a human. I did speak to a helpful person, Millie, in scheduling that convinced me to not cancel my appointment because I was so disgusted by the way I was being treated and assured me she would get me a human. After 35 minutes, I was able to speak with a human and received my prep information. I cannot put into words how upsetting this experience has been. I really like Dr. Peji and that is the one and only reason I will go and get my colonoscopy. If you really want to use Atlanta Gastro I suggest you make an in-office consult appointment, this way you get to speak to a human and be treated like one. I am incredibly disappointed in their treatment of their patients. I can recommend Dr. Peji with confidence, but to off-shore the important information needed for a colonoscopy and to receive no information regarding the preparation is completely unacceptable.

Dear Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates / Southern Crescent Endoscopy,…read moreI would like to express my sincere appreciation and recognition for Dr. Mark Edge and his office staff for the outstanding care and support they provided during my colonoscopy procedure. Dr. Edge was incredibly professional, patient, helpful, and kind throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was not only his skill and professionalism, but also the time he took to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. His calm and reassuring manner made a significant difference in helping me feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Edge is personable, easy to communicate with, and treated me with genuine respect. He made me feel cared for and valued as a patient, which I deeply appreciated. I would also like to recognize his office staff for their kindness, professionalism, and support. Their courtesy and compassionate care helped make the entire experience much easier and more positive. Please extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Dr. Edge and his office staff for the excellent care and kindness they showed me. Sincerely,Eve Bidosky

The last time I had a colonoscopy, they gave me the wrong anesthesia and couldn't get me to stop wiggling. That was the VA in San Antonio, TX. Gave me so much, it took me a long time to come to, only to tell me I had to come back and have it done with general anesthesia instead of local. Ummmmm, NOT! Hahahahaha Even after Dr. Karim found something back there that was benign, they said they'd like to see me back in 3 years (I think). I said, "No, how about 5?"
