From start to finish, I would highly recommend Western Carolina Digestive's Franklin location. Front desk Angie was extremely courteous and professional. Nurses Donyela and Tanya were very caring. Anesthesiologist Chris explained his part in the procedure very well. Dr. Stack explained results and recommendations thoroughly. Excellent team!

The care that I received at Western Carolina Digestive Consultants was excellent! Tanya is an excellent nurse and took amazing care of me. Chris had me asleep for my procedure quickly and Dr Savell was professional and had me out of there in no time. What a great team! I would recommend them to everyone!

Western Carolina Digestive Consultants has been an outstanding group of physicians and practitioners for many years. I have referred them countless patients during my 28 years as a Family Physician in Franklin. I have seen firsthand the outstanding care they have shown my patients for all these years. When it came time for my own colonoscopy, the choice was simple. Dr. Barrier and his entire staff were most courteous, competent and compassionate. Scheduling was easy, and I could not have asked for better care on the day of the procedure. The entire staff was most professional and caring. I received a follow up phone call the following day just to check on me. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Dr. Barrier. Please send my deepest gratitude to each of your staff members involved in my care.

Dr Barrier, the CRNA Chris, and the RN Chelsie were so amazing with my daughter's care. They were all very informative about the entire process and so kind. My daughter is usually very anxious but the staff made her feel calm and truly cared for from the beginning to the end. 5 stars 🌟 all the way! Thank you for taking such great care of my daughter. From my heart to yours I say God bless you ❤️

I took a friend for a colonoscopy since they require a dedicated driver after the procedure. The reception was professional but could have been a bit more personal. The facility, the waiting area are bright and spacious. The nurse was a real sweetheart. My friend was put under anesthesia and obviously can't remember anything. The nurse called me twice with an update and also let me know when to pick up the patient. It was a good experience especially the way the nurse handled things. Thank you, waiting for results.
