Yet another doctor’s office with no consideration for anyone’s time. I asked when I should return to pick up the patient when I dropped him off. They said 1.5 hrs. So I came back then. This time they said a nurse would call me 10 or 15 min before he will be ready. So I asked them to check where he is in the process. Nope, can’t do that. They do this procedure multiple times a day, every day. How difficult can communicating with the pick up folks be?

Dr Hanna was very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. He listened to my questions and concerns, then gave me advice on how to proceed with my treatment that was clear enough that I didn’t feel looked down upon as I had with my previous GI doctor’s consultation. Now Dr Hanna and I have found a way to make me live a healthier lifestyle.

In May I had a colonoscopy and fecal testing done through Tucson Gastroenterology. The doctor did not take my concerns that I've been suffering from fungal overgrowth in my small intestine seriously. Told me such things don't exist. Did a battery of tests all of which did not test for candida in the upper GI. Every test came back negative. Doctor failed to follow up with me afterwards. Went to a different provider to get tested. Boom. Positive sifo diagnosis and actual meaningful treatment. My experience with these people was an absolute waste of time, health, and money. Go elsewhere if you can, your health is important.

My colonoscopy procedure was a positive experience from intake by the front staff, doctor interaction and the post-procedure experience. Very efficient and good communication.

I just underwent my 1st colonoscopy here yesterday. I was nervous to say the least and felt a bit like I was going to a Diddy party, you know knocked unconscious and diddied with lol. Then I saw the 2.6 star review and was terrified I had made a huge mistake. Well I am here to tell you, they are grossly underated!! They are wonderful! From the facility, staff, through the pre-procedural set-up, explaining the procedure, warm bed and blankets to the detailed and thorough exam with copies of findings, aftercare, prevention & advice. Tucson Gastroenterology is the place to go! Professional, friendly, informative, thorough... they checked every box I was looking for in a clinic for my colonoscopy. Above & Beyond all my expectations!
