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.

Expert Care
I have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Boonpongmanee, and feel like my health is in expert hands with him. He takes my concerns seriously, patiently answers questions, and is proactive in screening and following the current standards of medicine for diagnostics and treatment. He is kind and caring, especially when delivering a difficult diagnosis, and has an established network of other doctors he works with for follow-on treatments after certain diagnostics are made. I will require yearly screenings for the foreseeable future, but some of that stress is relieved with the knowledge Dr. Boon is local and will be providing that care.

Caring and thorough
Dr. Boon is a caring physician who is thorough and professional. He knows when to listen and he knows when to ask questions. His knowledge and skill are penultimate. I highly recommend him for gastroenterologist care.

Dr. Boon Saved My Life
Dr. Boon performed a colonoscopy on me June 2021. It was discovered that I had Stage endometrial and colon cancers. I was immediately scheduled for colon surgery, but Dr. Boon wasn't convinced that this was the correct procedure. He worked with the surgeon and me, and the surgery was cancelled. Fast forward to a year of chemo and a triple surgeon procedure to remove the remaining tumors, and I just had another colonoscopy, and I am cancer-free! Had it not been for Dr. Boon yours truly would not be here expressing my eternal gratitude that the Tri-Cities has access to this fine doctor and all of his wonderful Staff!

Best in the Tri-Cities
I would recommend Dr. Boone to anyone needing GI help. I was extremely sick when he diagnosed my ulcerative colitis condition and with his help we have been able to heal my body and make life feel like normal again. He is very considerate and kind and even calls me occasionally to see how I'm doing. He listens to my concerns and together we adjust medications as needed. He's wonderful to work with. He also isn't adverse to sending me out for a second opinion when he deems it's necessary. I would not want to go to another doctor. He's the best.

Best digestive Dr in Tricities
My grandparents and mom had been to Dr Boon so deciding to go to him was an easy choice. Like them, I had a great experience. He is the nicest person and very skilled at what he does. His staff is wonderful. I had a first colonoscopy about 3 months ago now. They made it easy and as comfortable as can be. It was a much better experience than I was expecting. I also had some follow up to deal with the hemorrhoids that were the real reason I wanted to go in. Dr B recommended a banding procedure. Three quick visits and I am free of them. Totally worth it….if you are on the fence about it, go for it. The only negative I experienced was VERY minor discomfort the first few hours…just the muscles down there feeling irritated. Acetaminophen can help that. I opted to just lay on the couch and relax after the procedures and be done for the night. Completely ready to go full speed the next morning. I highly recommend Dr Boon!

Dr. Boone and Tri-Cities Digestive Health
I have had a colonoscopy and a banding treatment completed by Dr. Boone. I highly recommend his services because the care was outstanding, and I experienced no post treatment complications. The banding treatment is a great alternative compared to surgery because I experienced no pain following each of the three treatments and no physical restrictions were necessary. My understanding is that with surgery, avoidance of heavy physical activity and rest is required for up to 3 weeks post surgery. After each visit I resumed my normal activities other than lifting weights at the gym for a couple of days. No diet restrictions or anything else. Fast, painless, and no complications was an outstanding result. It was more than I expected or hoped. Very pleased with the outcome and strongly recommend Dr. Boone!

This was probably the best procedure I ever had!!
I absolutely adored the kind, straightforward, honest clientele that worked along with Dr. Boon. They were all incredibly flexible, understanding, caring, and made me feel safe and secure. I would recommend this very well done service to anyone, no doubt! I congratulate all his staff, and I especially had a terrific one-to-one relationship with my nurse before the procedure whose name was ALEX! Thank you all so much!! I even got to see the camera viewing of what was going on inside of me, which was WAY COOL (call me a science nerd or nerd in general -- anything that makes me smarter or is a unique experience and is safe, and secure all at once is something I look forward to each and every day. That was the star attraction of my day ... and probably of my entire scientific career (career referring to my intellectual premises and hobbies that would relate with it). I apologize for the college long dissertation that I am writing to you about this currently, but the experience was just so

Excellent Colonoscopy Experience
On the day of the colonoscopy, Dr. Boon's staff from his marvelous nurse to Blake, his awesome anesthesiologist, were fabulous! Dr. Boon was marvelous. He explained the procedure to me, prior to the exam. The bowel prep process before exam day, was not pleasant; however, the colonoscopy itself was easy and painless! After the screening, Dr. Boon explained his findings to me. I give Dr. Boon Five Stars as well as his staff! Thank you very much!!Richard M.

Routine Colonoscopy
Dr Boon and his staff did an excellent job of communicating prior to, during, and after the procedure. They provided many opportunities to ask questions. They were calm and professional throughout. The two-day fasting and cleansing prior to the procedure was not enjoyable but necessary. The actual procedure was very easy and relatively quick. I highly recommend Dr. Boon and his team for routine colonoscopies.
