Best gastroenterologists in Phoenix: find options near you

I had an excellent experience from start to finish. Scheduling my colonoscopy was quick and easy, and the office kept me well informed every step of the way with convenient text reminders for my appointment and prep instructions, which made the whole process much less stressful. The staff was warm, caring, and professional. Everyone took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. Dr. Drewitz was kind, empathetic, and compassionate. He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made what can be an anxiety-provoking procedure feel reassuring and comfortable. I highly recommend this practice to anyone needing a colonoscopy. They made the entire experience as easy and pleasant as possible, and I truly appreciated the exceptional care I received.

I had an excellent experience at this office. Everyone—from the front desk to the nurses and medical team—was friendly, professional, and caring. They started my appointment on time, were very patient as I was coming out of anesthesia, made me feel comfortable, and answered all my questions before and on the day of my appointment. Everything was well organized and efficient. I truly appreciated the outstanding care and would highly recommend this office.

I had excellent caring outstanding nurses who guided and assisted me before and after my surgery. My doctors were so kind and took the time to come to the waiting area introduced themselves to me talked and explained what procedure each doctor would be performing.they explained that after surgery I would go to recovery then be discharged Doctor’s are the kindest absolutely most outstanding professionals. I sincerely appreciate and thank all doctors and staff for treating me with such kindness consideration professionalism. An outstanding experience quality care before during and after my surgery. I do appreciate medical staff calling messaging me following up to ask how I’m doing. I’m doing fine don’t have any problems. I’m resting and recouperating. Thank you all very much

The team at this facility is truly top-notch. Every person I encountered was kind, courteous, and respectful throughout my experience. Each step of the process was explained clearly and thoughtfully, which helped me feel informed and comfortable every step of the way during what would otherwise have been a very scary procedure. I cannot speak highly enough about the care and compassion shown by everyone on the team. Their professionalism, reassurance, and genuine concern for my comfort made a lasting impression. Dr. Tharalson has assembled an exceptional team, and I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care and support I received. Thank you to everyone for making a potentially frightening experience so much easier.

I have gladly recommended this practice to our friends. The location is easily accessible off I-10. Parking is plentiful & convenient to the facility. The waiting room could utilize a bit more space, but it was very clean and organized. Check-in & registration was easy, and I was taken back in-clinic on time. The entire clinical staff was wonderful. Courteous, professional, kind and caring define their traits. The nurse who prepped me for my procedure was nothing short of amazing because she started my IV with ZERO feeling on my part. I don’t know how she did it, but she has completely earned my respect! Dr. Tharalson, whom I already reviewed under separate cover, rounded out the roster of wonderful medical professionals at this Phoenix facility. I would highly recommend this gastroenterology practice.

While prepping for tests isn’t necessarily “fun,” the ability to find issues before they become the life altering type is priceless. Everyone I communicate with leading up to my procedure, and those performing it, is always pleasant and very helpful, and I really appreciate Dr. Mills’ depth of experience, his abilities and his very pleasant and kind manner of communicating! I am a happy patient!

This place was spotless! All of the staff was very friendly! They thorough in all of their explanations and procedures! They called to follow up with me afterwards. Their pathology follow up was expeditious. Very pleased with this office!

This is more for the office. I just wish folks would tell more about their physical issue and are they feeling better now. It is great to hear everyone is warm and friendly that is wonderful and I would like that in a doctor. However, I want to know did you have surgery and how do you feel now, was it worth it? Was your issue fixed? Keep in mind the patient isn’t there for fellowship but to get your physical problem fixed. I am not being rude I just want to hear about a patient that is feeling better and what was the process to get there, that is all. Do you have those kind of reviews?

For the first time a doctor took the time to fully explain the results of a previous surgery and the least evasive medication I can take to avoid further problems. Also appreciate the doctor being very up front regarding my age and further testing. Very fortunate to have finally found someone who took the time to fully explain my condition. Highly recommend.

Dr Fares is the very best in his profession. He is kind, compassionate and caring. He listens to your concerns and tells you exactly what his thoughts are. The office staff were wonderful to work with appointments and scheduling.

Had to cancel the appointment. My insurance didn’t cover it but nobody could tell me what the procedure was going to cost me out of pocket. Was told to call several different numbers to see what the fees were going to be. Total nightmare, calling several places, no answers. I even got hung up in by somebody because I didn’t have some account number I never heard of. I wasn’t even going to leave a review but I’m still getting texts asking to share my experience so here we are.

Upon arrival I didn’t have to wait I was seen immediately. Dr Hussein Al-Hamid listen to my concerns and addressed them. 10 out of 10 recommend.

My husband recently saw Dr. Ahmed for the first time, and we were both very impressed. He took his time, listened carefully, and thoughtfully considered the next steps rather than rushing to conclusions. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his patients and wants to make sure they feel heard and supported. We’re grateful to have found him.

It wasn’t my first colonoscopy so this time it wasn’t necessary to go through a lot of explaining the prep and procedure. Instructions are crystal clear! What impressed me was how smooth the experience was. In each step from checkin to recovery I had a new nurse that was by my side and completely in tune with anything that was going on for me, fellow nurses and doctors, and other patients. Very personable and professional. Everyone runs on the same clock. There was always a warm handoff to the next team member. My anesthesiologist and Doctor Ahmed were reassuring, friendly, and professional. Same day follow up and results were delivered promptly. This really was a “no big deal” procedure. The entire practice was amazing. Thanks for everything!

Dr Ahmed was very professional and down to earth. He made me feel comfortable in our first appointment and the entire staff was very kind the day of my procedure. I felt cared for and like my feelings mattered.

I was referred to Dr. Ahmed by a family member and I am very pleased with my initial visit. The staff were nice and efficient. Like any medical office there is a lot of initial paperwork, and they were very patient when we kept returning it for us to complete additional sections on the back. Dr. Ahmed actually made eye contact and listened to us. He wasn’t tied to his computer. He then set-up a plan. First impressions still mean something and it was a positive one.

My experience for my Endoscopic procedure on June 15, 2026 was satisfactory. Dr. Ahmed was the doctor; everyone was both professional and friendly. I particularly liked getting a report along with pictures before I was discharged from the clinic. Now I have knowledge of my condition and a treatment plan. MK

Staff was friendly and professional. I didn’t have to wait even though I was early. Provider took the time necessary to discuss symptoms and what the procedure involved. Scheduling staff explained everything and provided detailed information about preparation procedure. I came to Honor Health because other medical groups were booked well out into the future. I’m happy with all my interactions with Honor Health.

This was my first and hopefully last visit with Honor Health Gastroenterology Group and I have to say that my experience was amazing! From Shari, the MA to Lisa dela Cruz, my PA to Kara, the scheduler, and then to all the follow-up emails with specific information I felt heard, cared for and in excellent hands moving forward! I highly recommend this group for any gastrointestinal issues and am praying that all goes well for my upcoming procedure on Monday!

GREAT DOCTOR ! This guy knows his field so well. He seemed happy to spend time talking about my issues for as long as I needed. I would highly suggest Dr Al-Lahham to anyone with gastro issues. I’d guess he’s been doing this for years and has seen most everything just by the way he’s able to quickly answer every question with deatails. His staff is also very friendly. From Christine at check-in/out to Sheri, his PA to Bertha, his scheduler.. All very nice and very professional. Five stars to this doctor and his staff ! Thanks, Mary

My visit was a consult about 30 days prior to the actual procedure. The office was very convenient and accessible, right off I-17 and Dove Valley Rd. Everyone I interacted with was professional & friendly. The Nurse Practitioner I consulted with spent plenty of time with me; put me at ease; asked questions; answered my questions; very patient and not hurried; an informative and very beneficial consultation. Thank you all!

The visit was fine, but that was eight days ago. I was told that they were going to contact my cardiologist for clearance to get anesthetized for a colonoscopy. I’ve heard nothing. Sadly, this seems to be the way it works with most healthcare providers these days. They tell you that they’re going to do something and that they’ll call you for the next step, but you don’t hear from them so you have to take time out of your busy day to chase down the info yourself. This is an opportunity for Honor Health Gastro to set themselves above the typical healthcare providers and improve the standard of patient/provider relations. Are they up to it? Still waiting for that phone call…

Said I was in network. Had an appointment that was rescheduled to a different nurse. Turns out I was not in network cause of whatever that happened on their end. Even though I confirmed it with them as well as with my insurance. Got billed the full amount. Their front office is terrible, and they seem to have no doctors available anyways. Find somewhere else.

If you are a patient with anxiety or who needs compassionate care, I strongly recommend staying away from this practice. I was an established patient for years and consistently left appointments feeling dismissed, and dreading follow-ups. Interactions with Helena were often blunt to the point of being rude, which was extremely difficult for me as someone with severe medical anxiety. The only provider who treated me like a human being was Megan. Her care was a stark contrast and the only reason I stayed as long as I did. An endoscopy was delayed last year due to the flu. I followed all instructions, repeatedly checked in, and rescheduled as directed. The procedure was ultimately canceled the day before due to no physician availability, and I was told I would be contacted to reschedule. That never happened. I recently reached out for care during an active flare. I was initially scheduled, then later informed by phone that Helena would not take me back as a patient and that I would need to find another practice, without real explanation or assistance with continuity of care. I strongly urge patients who value empathy, communication, and continuity to look elsewhere.

I called for a first-time appointment, and the lady gave me such pushback not to make one. First, she said, “I don’t see a referral.” Then she ended with, “All I can do is update your information. We don’t have an opening for four months.” Don’t waste your time.

Had a colonoscopy on 7/8/2026. Dr Subhash Chandra was an hour late, clinic couldn’t reach him, but that apparently is his MO. Once procedure was completed, he did not speak to my fiancé (HIPPA advocate). He left instructions and result details with the discharge nurse. We asked to speak to him, but he was to busy with patients trying to catch up for his tardiness. So we left. Since then, I have not heard from this practice a out biopsy results, been scheduled for my follow up. I’ve called. Can’t get through most of the time because the phone system isn’t working and the answering service cannot take messages and says to keep trying. I work. So I’ve sent a message through the portal that’s gone unanswered. I give up. I won’t go back. They don’t care. BEWARE. Reporting my experience to my insurance company and hoping I may get my results. My PCP requested them too, but have not received anything as of today.

Honestly worst doctors office I’ve been to. They rescheduled on me 3 times. Would not recommend.

Today I listened to their telephone system tell me over 50 times that “your care is our top priority”. Based on my experience that is false.

After their gastro doctors left the practice, they pretty much have avoided any and all contact with past patients. They do not return calls and do not answer the phone. The office is closed. To be a doctors office that handles things like crohns and other gastro diseases, completely abandoning their patients is just vile. Will never seek care from this company or its parent, abrazo, again.

This is an amazing Dr! Maria the anesthesiologist was also amazing she comforted me greatly as it had been sometime since my last colonoscopy over 10 years. Had been told at my last one that I was hard to wake up. I was nervous and scared all at the same time but Maria amd Dr Hauptmann put me at ease etc. THANK YOU MARIA AND DR HAUPTMANN! I will be a regular always at your office every 5 years to get checked! AMAZING STAFF!

I’ve been struggling to figure out what has been going on with my health since February and was finally referred to a GI specialist. Dr. Hauptman not only took my concerns seriously, he got me in for a procedure the very next day so that I could enjoy my trip planned to another country where I left shortly after. Highly recommend if you want a doctor who listens to you!

The staff is amazing when calling in to make an appointment. Always curtious and kind. I’ve been seeing Dr Hauptman for many years. He listens and gives feedback on concerns you have. I would highly recommend him. I also like the fact he shares a surgical facility for any procedures you need to have done.

So Grateful, Not many Dr.s like him! I Don’t go to the doctors unless I absolutely have to, I do not have much faith in our healthcare system, but I watched how he cared for my husband, and that’s why I finally made an appointment, he’s concerned, he’s proactive he genuinely listens and His staff is just attentive! I picked the right Doctors office!

Staff are always professional and friendly. Dr. Hauptman is very thorough in each appt. He listeners to my concerns and works with me to make a plan to move forward. Really appreciate his attention to my situation.

First of all, Az Digestive Health of Phoenix location is not to far from my resident and this was my first visit. The facility is clean and the Staff was pleasant. The waiting time to be service was acceptable. I was very impressive about the first question came from the G.I. doctor. He wanted to know where I was from and a little something about myself. To me, I thought that was very welcoming and made me relax a bit. I think this office will work for me. ✌️

So far my experience has been absolutely amazing. I went and saw my G.I. doctor Emily, Took the time to hear my symptoms check me out and schedule a colonoscopy next day. They were able to get me all my prep, scheduled, and set up with my insurance all within 24 hours. Absolutely amazing, perfect communication, my surgery is today. I’m very confident and comfortable.

Arizona Digestive Health – Coronado is a decent option for digestive care, though my experience was fairly average. The office is clean and located conveniently, which I appreciated. Check-in was smooth enough, and the front desk staff were polite. However, I did wait about 25–30 minutes past my appointment time before being taken back. The nurse was friendly and professional, which helped ease some of the frustration.

I used to have a thing against seeing a PA for care, especially when it’s urgent. Caitlin Beadles, however, is more thorough than a lot of physicians I have seen, hands down. Caitlin listens and understands, but also is supportive and solution oriented. Their medical assistant, Marguerite also is in the top 3 medical assistants I have worked with. Please give this dream team a raise.

Arizona Digestive Health: Phoenix – Coronado is a specialized gastroenterology clinic providing digestive health services and patient care. Patients often value the expertise of the medical team, comprehensive treatment options, and focus on diagnosing and managing digestive conditions. Pros: • Specialized expertise in digestive and gastrointestinal health. • Professional and knowledgeable medical staff. • Comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services. • Focus on patient education and long-term care. Cons: • Appointment availability may be limited during busy periods. • Wait times can vary depending on scheduling demands. • Some procedures or treatments may involve additional costs. • Patient experiences may differ based on individual healthcare needs.

Coronado is okay overall. The office staff was polite, and check-in was smooth. However, I waited about 30 minutes past my appointment time before being called back. The nurse was friendly and professional, but the doctor seemed a bit rushed during the consultation. My questions were answered, though not as thoroughly as I would have liked. The facility is clean but somewhat basic in terms of amenities. Follow-up instructions were clear, but getting through to someone on the phone for a billing question took a couple of tries. For routine digestive care, it’s fine, but don’t expect a highly personalized experience.

Kaitlyn B is truly exceptional at what she does. She brings a high level of expertise and genuine care to every interaction, making each visit feel personal and meaningful. Her deep knowledge, combined with her commitment to addressing real concerns, sets her apart. She empowers her clients by ensuring they have a voice in the process while guiding them with thoughtful, informed recommendations. Her professionalism, insight, and dedication make her someone you can fully trust, and she consistently delivers an outstanding experience. I have nothing but love and gratitude for her.

Dr Foley is the most amazing, compassionate doctor. There aren’t too many out there like him. He cares deeply and takes the time to listen to all concerns. I have referred several family & friends and they feel the same way. Thank you Dr Foley for all you do.

I have had 3 colonoscopy’s and I trust Dr Michael Foley completely with my life. He is professional, personable and a very calm bedside demeanor that puts you at ease. I would not want any other Doctor but him for this procedure.

Dr Foley is great. I gave 3 stars because I had a lot of difficulty in scheduling my appointment with the doctor. I had a colonoscopy and I had a follow up appointment scheduled. I was sick that day so I called the clinic and let them know. I was not able to reschedule that day so I told them I would call back to reschedule. I called numerous times, left messages, and even messaged them through their online portal, but nobody would ever get back to me. Finally I showed up in person and was able to reschedule that follow up appointment.

Dr. Foley was kind, professional, and very reassuring during my colonoscopy experience. He explained everything clearly and made the process much less stressful. I highly recommend him and his staff for their excellent care.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Foley. He was fully attentive, genuinely listened, and cared about getting to the root of the problem. His knowledge and thoroughness gave me real confidence in my care. Highly recommend!

This was my 1st visit to see my new Gastro Dr. I was very impressed by the welcoming, friendly, professional staff upon arrival. Wait times wasn’t bad either! Looking forward to my procedure, hoping to continue with good experience! Dr. Foley also gave me enough time to answer all of my questions!

I used to be stressed about colonoscopies, but not anymore. Dr. Foley and the facility staff make the whole process seamless. It’s like getting a hamburger and soda at a drive-thru.

Dr Michael Mills was wonderful. He sat and listened to me and my concerns and then spent so much explaining in detail all of my options. I felt a lot of relief from anxiety after leaving the office. He made me feel comfortable and heard. My appointment and procedure was scheduled quickly and easily. Instructions for prep were very clear. I received text message reminders days before the prep which is a great idea. It was the best experience at a medical office I’ve ever had in my entire life and I work in medicine. I recommend this office and doctor 1000%

I had such a great experience. This was my first time to this office, everyone was so friendly and nice. The doctor made me feel comfortable and explained what I was asking about. The appointment was fast easy and educational. I will definitely go back to see Dr Mills again in the future. Thank you!

I was extremely pleased with my initial visit with Dr Mills. He took his time with me and went over all my concerns as a new patient. Just the right doctor for me to take care of my needs. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

My visit to Dr. Mills office was extremely a positive one. He took the time to listen to everything that I had to say, and he even noted it down in his summary. He definitely showed concern over my current situation and immediately put a plan together to research what might be happening and to get an answer to… I would definitely recommend him and his office.

Dr Mills is extremely knowledgeable about how my specific condition (hEDS) effects the GI tract. It was one of the first time I felt affirmed and not dismissed by a specialist. I’m thankful to be under his care!

Dr. Mills is by far the most caring and knowledgeable doctor I have ever met since moving to the US more than 30 years ago! Having grown up with parents who are doctors themselves getting the best care imaginable in Switzerland, I can confidently say that Dr. Mills and everyone at his office have been treating me not just as a number but a human being, which is not something I could say for most of the other doctors I have encountered during my medical mystery years. Also worth noting is that Dr. Mills is not giving up when the diagnosis is more complicated and will get to the bottom of it until he found the cause of my discomfort. Nothing more calming than knowing that in case of an emergency, you can count at least on one doctor!

My husband and I had appointments together to see Dr. Mills. My husband is a new patient to Dr. Mills and I am an existing patient. We can’t say enough about the amount of time Dr. Mills spent with us thoroughly going over each of our medical histories. He never made us feel like he was in a hurry or distracted. He is very knowledgeable and very kind. We both feel we are in very good hand with Dr. Mills.

It was my first visit, and I had an excellent experience with Dr. Héctor Rodríguez Luna.

So I just called the office and spoke to a lady named Abigail. She is so unprofessional. I’m trying to make an appointment for my wife. She’s telling me that I need to stick with a doctor that I was with which I tried to explain to her over and over that I was not with a doctor. I work for a doctors offers over 15 years. This is unacceptable. You need people in your office. that knows what they’re doing and then she kept me on hold for 15 minutes like she was trying to make an appointment for me. All she wanted me to do was hang up and this is how you run your office. You guys need me to be reported.

Dr. Rodriguez Luna had a first visit with me over the phone and I could not have been more satisfied with the amount of depth, intelligent questioning, compassion and understanding he showed. He covered a lot of ground and I never felt rushed or not listened to. He gave me a comprehensive treatment plan with options that were different enough from what’s always been done (without much success) and I felt very comfortable with his approach. Highly recommend him!

Worst place ever! I have been rescheduled so many times and was diagnosed with stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. It’s been 2 months and haven’t been able to even see or speak to my doctor. I am going to be reporting them. This is my LIFE and they don’t care. Office staff is rude and when they make a scheduling mistake they refuse to make it right. I had an appointment today which was previously rescheduled because they made an error (supposedly) and had to wait an additional 3 weeks for my appointment. I called their office countless times to see why my doctor didn’t call, and the lady said ” Oh, it looks like they canceled it because she’s not in on Thursdays” and of course, my thoughts are canceled it. Why would you cancel it and not call me to reschedule this is bull crap do not come to this facility if You are struggling to survive they will kill you faster than your disease will !!!

Two people recommended Dr. Rodriguez-Luna to me and I am so glad they did. His office was very helpful in setting up my appointment and going over the background questionnaire with me. This was my first appointment with Dr. Rodriguez. He explained how he will perform my procedures in view of my medical history which put my mind at ease. He also told me that he and his staff follow strict protocols to prevent exposure to Covid which is a big concern of mine and a huge relief to know that he shares my concern. Dr. Rodriguez is very personable and friendly, spending a lot of time answering my questions. To repeat, I am pleased that Dr. Rodriguez was first recommended to me by my daughter and also by my PCP.

Not being able to see him in person can be difficult when you feel like you need to be checked out and not just have a video call, but it’s having to deal with this staff that makes it unbearable. Wait for appointment for several months, day before or day of appointment they call to cancel, they don’t care if they’ve already canceled on you before and you’ve already had to wait over 8 months in order to see the doctor, they make you wait another 4 while you hope and pray they don’t cancel again, knowing they won’t bother giving you any notice and wait until the last minute to inform you they need to cancel. Even though you might call in advance to schedule a colonoscopy that will be coming due, your colonoscopy could wind up being performed significantly late because of how they handle things in this office. These sorts of things are very common place here, and these sorts of things happen again and again. Staff is so lacking in communication skills, they can be unbearable to deal with. Horrible listeners, small people on power trips, all the dysfunctional stuff people try to avoid in life just can’t be avoided when dealing with this staff unfortunately. He’s a good doctor, but his staff makes it too difficult to remain his patient. I had hoped things would get better but they just keep getting worse.

Dr. Rodríguez is an awesome physician very helpful. Takes the time to really find out what’s wrong with us. Yes he might be running late a bit but that is the reason, because he takes his time with his patients, to really find out what is wrong with them and doesn’t Rush that’s very important to us. He is thorough and caring I recommend him but if you are a person with patience he is well worth it 🙂
