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.

Painless!
Dr. Chow has given me two colonoscopies so far that I took without anesthesia. My friends and family have trouble believing me, but when Dr. Chow does my colonoscopy, I don't need anesthesia because she is so gentle and such an expert! She makes having a colonoscopy a joy instead of something to be feared. In addition, when I am not sedated I can enjoy the educational spectacle of viewing my insides. I cannot recommend Dr. Chow highly enough!

I had to go to the Lahey Burlington ER and they called her in to resolve my issue. She came to see me and was very interested and concerned. She also appeared very confident. She answered questions well. Exactly what I needed to calm me down. She also worked well with her surgery team and the procedure was quick and successful. The entire was very friendly and helpful. Put me at ease. I recommend her and Lahey GI for sure.

Dr. Chow and her staff are wonderful. I have been with them for 20 years plus. Everyone is caring and understanding. I have been through a great deal over the past few years and there is know one I would trust more than Dr. Chow.. She has referred me to surgeons and other staff members who have helped me a great deal. I highly recommend Dr. Chow and her entire staff.
