Tracey Southall
Jane Baker is an excellent provider, she listened to my issues, fears, concerns and took my past medical history into deep consideration during my consultation. She gave amazing insightful advice and we created a plan. When things didn't go as planned, Jane was able to see me on short notice, communicate with her team and find a solution quick. I truly appreciate the time she took to listen & not dismiss my concerns. She also has great style and a brilliant comforting smile. ❤️

Excellent meeting with Dr. Kalala. he’s very straightforward. He explains and answers. any questions you may have. He leaves the decision up to the patient. I er enjoyed my visit with him.

Jane was gracious, kind and explained everything in a concise manner. I was confident in her abilities as a professional and felt she was looking out for me in my best interests. I was very nervous meeting with her and had to take deep breaths to calm myself before meeting her and when I met her, I was instantly calmed. Thank you.

I have been really impressed with Cedar Valley Digest Health clinic. Jane Baker and the nursing staff are so friendly and very helpful. Jane is there to listen and advise accordingly and the nurses have passed along questions in a very timely manner. Everyone is so helpful!! Would highly recommend this clinic to anyone with tummy issues.

November, 2025 I went to Cedar Valley Digestive Health Center for my annual checkup. From the moment I entered the building to the moment I left, I was treated with care. The receptionist at the front desk was friendly and efficient. She answered several questions for me and I was checked in speedily. (The new online checkin is a real time saver and worked well.) Paige, the nurse, quickly took my vitals and handed me off to Tracey Elliott, ARNP. Tracey is an extraordinary care provider and I am fortunate to have her on my team. She checked my records, asked and answered questions pertaining to my health, renewed my prescription, and set a plan for my next year of care. I couldn't ask for a better team to have on my wellness journey with me.
