Vincent Bishop
All my praises go to the friendly and professional staff of GIA Center North with a great thanks to Nurse Brandy for making my prep for surgery a great laugh. Dr Lindsey C. Shipley a total professional and I can't say enough good things about her. I highly recommend that everyone come here for any GI surgeries! The staff is the friendliest anywhere around. They make an unpleasant situation much better and are so knowledgeable and caring. Thanks to you all.

I have been a patient at GI Associates for 13 years and have not been disappointed one time. My provider is Dr Maria Newman. I cannot say enough about her. She is very friendly and personable. She understands my concerns and has performed great care to me. The staff at GI Associates is very friendly and respectful also. If you are looking for a GI doctor I would recommend checking out Dr Newman and GI Associates.

Dr Moore and his staff made my procedure so much better than it could have been. It's never fun to have medical testing, but the nurses were wonderful and made me as comfortable as possible. The facility is well run, clean and easy to access. Dr Moore was super kind and explained everything very patiently. He never made me feel that he was rushing or that questions were bothersome. I can't say enough about the great nursing staff! Thanks to everyone for taking such great care of me!!!

Dr. Samavedy was excellent. I had my very first appointment with him yesterday that I made based off a coworker’s experience, and I was immediately very impressed with his professionalism and drive for patient care. He managed to look into my issues and schedule a same day exam for me after the initial appointment, and I left yesterday feeling like I am in very good hands. The nursing staff was also excellent, and took care of two make sure I was comfortable and informed.
