Gastroenterology Associates of Fredericksburg Reviews

My wife went in for pelvic pain and they found a 20mm cancer tumor during her colonoscopy. They removed it in early stage, my wife is 32! I hear you should get colonoscopies once a year after 50... 30 is more like it. I'm very thankful for these doctors, she might not of made it to 50.

Doctor Tishon was very quick and caring. The nurses and staff at the hospital made me very comfortable during my procedure. I would recommend this practice to anyone having gastrointestinal issues.

Came in January for a follow up post surgery, was rushed so fast through my appointment placed on Xifian, which handled well for my IBS, was told the test machine for lactose intolerant was down and i couldn t come in another day had to wait for a reschedule follow up, came in 30 minutes early for today s follow up was told the doctor was 45 minutes behind which truly messed up my afternoon plans of babysitting, also, felt rushed through again. After this appointment will go elsewhere for GI.

Horrible experience. The whole check in and vitals part was done in a decent amount of time but actually waiting to be seen by the doctor took forever. I was waiting for what felt like 25 minutes in the exam room. Then the doctor comes in and starts rushing me to speak about what my issues are barely even let s me see explain what I have been going through. He keeps talking over me and finishing my sentences. I don t know why doctors always feel like they know better than the patients. Don t disregard your patients symptoms. Show respect to your younger patients as well.

Wanted to thank the staff (Cindy & Tamara) and say how knowledgeable and professional everyone was and would recommend using them if you re looking for a gastroenterologist.

I would never recommend this to anyone. I didn t like how they attended me and didn t prescribe anything.

I wouldn't even put a star if I was able to leave a review without it. We've been fighting with the insurance company over a bill and just because we have an unpaid bill they aren't seeing my husband who's ill! Great way to be a human being! Think of money more then a patient. Congrats! Worst people ever!

Since I can't reply

5months? Nope we had both producers done April 20th. We received our bill the next month which would be May and only the one bill was sent, we called our insurance company asap. Today I called to talk about my husband being sick and instead they send me straight to billing without hesitation then was told it was being sent into collections so no it isn't 5 months and you send multiple letters. We received one letter. Again still the worst people ever!!!

I would not recommend this office. Find a place that cares a little more. I was a patient for several years had a billing issue contacted left messages and got a term notice. Now I will have to get all of my records and find a new doctors office.

Extremely poor quality aftercare. Poor communication skills and can't be bothered to return phonecalls or follow through with calling in prescription Dr Tishon says I need following my surgical procedure. Its been 2 weeks and still no medication. I guess I will have to get my test results and find another GI doctor.

Dr. Tishon and the procedure staff were 5 star. the admin part had challenges, but we all do on occasion. I was contacted and had a very positive discussion w/ Cheryl regarding my issues and she was very professional and interested in my challenges. Overall, I feel like they're trying to improve the admin portion and the procedure staff were great and that's really what matters.

I been a patient of Dr. Mennon for over 4 yrs. and never experience any problem fro her staff they are very pleasant as well as professional as a former employee in the medical field I will recommend practice to many

I am extremely dissatisfied that I arrived on time for my appointment, waited 45 minutes, and had to ask what was going on. I was told that it would be at least another 15 minutes before I would be seen. I had another place to be, so I had to leave without being seen by the provider. This was supposed to be a simple consult. My time is just as valuable as there's is, and I have to take off work to come to the appointment. They charge at least a $50 fee for a missed appointment. How much do I get to charge them for wasting my time?! This level of service is very unprofessional.

Dr. Wong is the most caring and knowledgeable Doctor I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The support staff is also excellent.
Thank You,
Dennis S

Crystal Gamble I agree I had same thing happen. I now have 53.20 on my credit report and when I called them I was informed they can t take it I d have to call the collections place. Funny thing is they won t return my calls. I wouldn t recommend them. I actually never received any letters, the only one I got from them after my procedure was a notification stating I was no longer a patient.

I had a good experience the staff and doctors are the best. I would recommend them with the highest confidence. Plus the solution you drink did not taste bad at all. They took very good care of me I wouldn't go anywhere else, thank you.

As a returning customer this practice insisted on another consultation before scheduling my repeat colonoscopy procedure. Totally unnecessary. After three telephone conversations all required information had been exchanged and the only thing left to do was schedule the procedure. This consultation was nothing more than a thinly veiled effort to charge me more fees. In this pandemic era where medical and financial resources are under severe stress, this is unconscionable. The front office staff lied by saying it is required for insurance purposes and it is not - especially for a returning patient. I strongly suggest taking your business elsewhere.

Very unhappy with the services. I saw Dr. Ajmera because I had experienced stomach bloating for over 3 months. During the office visit he never even touched my stomach. He ordered a sonogram which indicated a slightly enlarged liver. Then I had blood drawn for additional testing. My blood was drawn on a Monday afternoon. G.A.F. said they would call me when the results came back. I waited until Thursday afternoon & called them but had to leave a voicemail message. I then contacted LabCorp who did the blood work & was told my results were sent to the doc office on Tuesday morning. Now I am really ticked off, they had my results for almost 3 days and hadn't called me.

My scheduled colonoscopy was set for the 24th and when there was a cancellation the nurse and scheduling department moved my appointment for 10 days sooner. The 14th at 2:05. Already had an upper endo a month ago with Dr Pai, in which am very happy with his professional attitude and dedication for finding answers. I do believe Dr Pai will figure it out and fix the problem. I luv this gastrointestinal doctor

Dr. Dharel and staff have been great. Very thorough very professional quick with results. I 100 % recommend them to everyone!

Have not had service yet but I have scanned the reviews.
I did not make the appointment here buy my doctor did with out verbalizing this to me.
I get a voice mail on Thursday at 3pm, one hour before closing.
Voice mail does arrive late if coverage is not good.
I called once I got the voice mail and I get a recording that the office is closed Friday, Sat, and Sunday. They booked my appt at 8:50 Monday morning.
To top it off, I have not had a chance to check with my insurance policy about coverage. I am giving 3 stars in good faith care is good but management has to change.
The auto voice which is Horrid sounding says there is a 50 dollar cancellation fee.
I think management for Gastroenterology Associates of Fredericksburg, 1031 Care Way has to be revamped. I should have gotten a call asking to check my calendar if I was open for that Monday. No one had talked to me, just automatic late notice and automatic appt without verification with the patient. How can this happen? I expect they are in a hurry to fill slots with no questions. Has health care gotten away with so much they forget the basic ABCs?

A very professional office staff. The procedure had very wait time. I would highly recommend this s medical group!
