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.

Great Doctor.

Not only was everything professional, but also very relaxing. Dr. Gentry who I’ve known for 15+ years comes and visits you before and after procedure. He is very thorough and if he suspects anything will make sure to advise you of what he saw

Dr. Gentry is a wonderful doctor.
When I started having problems with my stomach, I went to see Dr. Gentry and immediately I felt like I was in good hands. After a few tests he found the problem and we are still waiting on the results. I feel confident that Dr. Gentry will be able to make me well and believe me I am so ready. Dr. Gentry is very nice, he answered all my questions, he is funny too. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Gentry.

Dr Gentry has treated me for many years.
Dr Gentry has always helped me with my GI problems. This time Dr Gentry and his staff especially Vanessa and Karen worked long and hard to move my procedure to the hospital because of a lung problem I have. They had to work with the hospital scheduler to work this out. My lung Dr recommended this and because I live 350 miles away they did a lot to help me out with this problem. I can’t thank them enough. The procedures went well and I’m home and feel I had excellent care. Thank you. Thank you!!

Excellent Gastroenterologist
Extremely thorough. Excellent follow-up. Explains everything very well. There is no pre-surgery visit, well, maybe for first timers, but since I've had this done before, I know it's not necessary. First time I met Dr Gentry was right before surgery.
