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.

Dr. Petro is an excellent physician, explaining procedures, test results, and any question I have in terms I understand. She is kind, friendly, and puts me at easy while under her care.I would recommend her to family and friends.

Bad experience
Really bad experience. She did not understand or address my concerns. I left the office with the same concerns I came in with. I could have just used Google. Will not return. I will try again with a different doctor. Waste of time and money.

Can’t fix the problem but can put a band aid on it
If you have a real problem that requires surgical attention go to another facility where a doctor can fix the problem and not just suggest medication. You will find yourself on a lot of medication and feel like you are being herded through this clinic process like cattle. I had surgery for an issue and came out with a procedure that never addressed the issue I went in for! I never saw the “doctor” before my. Surgery and was asked questions right before being put under. There should be no questions on surgery day…period. Then coming out of surgery without my issue being addressed, which I still have, leaves one wondering how clinics can get away with this!? It’s best to seek another clinic other than GI Associates if you want your medical issues repaired and resolved. The whole point of healthcare is to fix the underlying issue which leads to a better quality of life.
