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.

Amazing care!
It was my first time having this procedure and could not have asked for better care. The entire staff was very caring, patient and explained everything to me step by step. Dr. Sheets was very professional and spoke to me in simple terms, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable about the procedure. Quite honestly, the whole process felt like I took the best nap in years! When I woke up I felt no discomfort at all. I definitely recommend Dr. Sheets and the entire staff for this procedure.

Great Service!!
I was very nervous but from the doctor, anesthesiologist, first nurse who took my vitals to the discharge nurse, everyone was professional, nice and made me feel calm. I have no complaints and would go back again if needed.

Excellent in every way
Excellent in every way. Dr. Sheets and the entire staff from the front desk through the recovery room were first-class, informative, and professional. A cheerful and uplifting environment. They performed a colonoscopy, woke me up, and provided a full written report in 2 hours. If I need anything done in Dr. Sheet's area I will definitely schedule with him and his team.

I had been putting off a colonoscopy because it seemed intimidating. Dr. Sheets was comforting, and put me at ease. He answered my questions and did everything he could to make me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him and his staff to someone I care about, and will return to Ohio Gastro for my next colonoscopy in 10 years!

Highly Recommend
I had a very good experience with Dr. Sheets. I needed a colonoscopy and he also recommended an endoscopy. It was all painless and he answered all of my questions. I also received a call the next day from his office checking on me. I am very happy with his care and highly recommend him.

Dr Sheets has been my gastro doc for over ten year
He's always very attentive and listens to my concerns. It's important to have a trusted relationship when discussing these things. I have Crohn's so have been grateful for his help.

I had very bad experience with Dr. Sheets. I was at Hospital with internal bleeding. Dr. Sheets and nurse did procedure without my consent, any explanation and proper sedation. Procedure DID NOT stop bleeding. Put me in pain for nothing and gave me PTSD. Received big bill from him. Stay away from this "doctor".

HORRIBLE DOCTOR. INCONSIDERATE. Got a 2nd opinion and I was suffering from diverticulitis, not anorexia. Saw him 1st at his office and then was rushed to the ED. He was the on call GI doctor that night and refused to answer any of my questions. Had to stay at Riverside for 3 days for infection, low potassium, and anemia. I had IV drips in both arms.

After waiting an hour at my post-op appointment 5 weeks after a diagnostic procedure, Dr. Sheets came in to tell me my results were not in the office. Promised to call me later in the day.* With no results in hand, Dr. Sheets suggested that maybe I just need a "good stiff shot of whiskey" to help with my chronic esophogeal pain; perhaps just get my "head on straight." *No call - ever. Dr. sent me a three-sentence email over a week later with a lame apology for the delay.
