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.

Competent and down to earth
Dr. Judah and his friendliness and down-to-earth honesty in answering all questions one might have that his knowledge allows. Genuine concern for others, and a great office staff of professionals.

Great Doctor!
It's not often that I leave a 5-star review for doctors. Dr. Judah has earned it. He is a great doctor who listens and explains everything. He was polite and addressed all of my concerns. I'm a happy patient, and I would recommend Dr. Judah to everyone.

can't forget the mistakes made
They know NOTHING about my type of ileostomy, but proceeded to put me through a test they should not have. I did not know until after I researched why I had a problem. They sent me to a referral that they said was a surgeon who turned out to be another G.I. Now I go to Emery Atlanta when possible. They were very uncaring and rude.

I needed to have a colonoscopy done and was sent to Dr. Judah. He took his time to sit down and talk to me and aloud me to ask questions. He was very professional and friendly. His staff was also very professional and friendly. They all made me feel comfortable with getting my procedure done. Dr. Judah and his staff are awesome!!! I recommend anyone who needs a gastroenterologist doctor, go to Dr. Judah or his group. Darrell O

Happy Patient!!!!! – Dec 16, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Judah?
Dr.Judah and his staff were wonderful.My 96 yr old mother had stones removed from her bile duct that 2 other doctors,2 different cities & in 3 surgeries could not remove.At her age it was risky but necessary.Love Dr.Judah and highly recommend him! He took the time to reassure and pray with her,did the surgery in less time that I thought and was very knowledgeable and gifted at what he did.He fixed it so that if she developed more stones they would be easier to pass.He also showed her pictures of what he did! If you are searching for the best,look no further! Very warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable and skilled.His entire office and team were respectful, helpful,kind and professional!Their team is the best! Thank you Dr.Judah and staff!

Dr Judah is pleasant & professional. His scheduler however is not. It took 2 months for my primary physician’s office to get me an appointment with him (didn’t get the faxed paperwork which was sent multiple times). I finally saw him & scheduled my overdue colonoscopy. Shortly after I was given new Rx by cardiologist & called to see how it would affect the procedure. After leaving 4 messages over a 3 week period I finally heard from Dr Judah’s scheduler. I was so frustrated with her that I cancelled my colonoscopy.

I like Dr. Judah, however, his office takes a very long time to get back with you on results and scheduling. I feel my time is valuable also.

I had 2 endoscopies and a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Judah. I have since had occasional abdominal pain and I am not allowed to make an appointment to see Dr. Judah. I have to see the PA's who work there and both times the diagnosis I was given was incorrect and the medicine was not effective. I have been told by a receptionist and his nurse that he does not see follow up patients. I will seek another more available doctor!
