Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best GI Doctor in the state
I have been treated by Dr. Dunn for a long time. He most recently treated me for GERD and has completed my and my wife's colonoscopies over the last 15 years.Dr. Dunn is an exceptional doctor and has got to be the best GI doctor in the state. Here are a few reasons why:He is caring and personable. And brilliant.I have had a serious case of GERD over the last 5 years. Esophagus biopsies showed I was very close to having Barret's Syndrome, a precursor to esophagus cancer. He has kept a close watch over me, adding and changing prescriptions to keep me healthy, which I still am!My wife had a colonoscopy with Dr. Dunn 15 years ago. He found a non-benign polyp that he snipped out. We had a 2nd opinion of the colonoscopy records made by a nationally prominent (awards all over his wall) GI in the New York City area. He said: 'Your doctor found a polyp that most GI physicians would not have found. He gets an A+ in my scorecard.' He concurred with all of Dr. Dunn's opinions.

I’ve had crohns and 2 previous long term GI doctors, numerous hospital stays, and I have never been talked down to and had anyone ever comment on me not being educated about my own disease because I didn’t like his opinion and asked why he though it would be the best route for me. Worst bedside manner I have ever seen. I’ve dealt with doctors in Shreveport, houston, Alexandria, New Orleans, and Monroe. Still just disgusted with the patient care and bedside manner I received

Highly recommend. I’ve been to many Gastroenterologists and all wrote me off. Dr. Dunn actually listened to me and was determined to find out what was wrong and help.

Dr. Dunn takes the time to explain what is going on using terms you can understand. He has a great bedside manner and is sincere. You can tell he cares about his patients. If that impacts the time in the waiting room, so be it. If I wait a bit because he is taking care of people, that's what I also get when it's my turn. I'd recommend him highly.

My wife saw Dr. Dunn in 2008 because there was no GI doctor in our city. In 2012 she visited the new new GI who had set up practice in our city. 5 years later, her PCP recommended she see a GI again. The GI in our community had moved so she called Dr. Dunn's office & was given an appointment. After driving 35 miles & waiting an hour to see him, Dr. Dunn had his nurse tell my wife that he would not see her because she went to another GI. Unprofessional & rude. So much for the Hippocratic Oath.
