More testimonials from our wonderful patients
I have been with Dr. Colvin and his team since 2003 and was so sorry to have to give them up when I moved. I am hoping that I can find someone new who is just as caring and concerned about his patient's wellbeing as Dr. Colvin. 10 stars!!!

Dr. Cyzner said I don't need medicine just coffee and Miralax. I'm back to same symptoms as before. I'm grateful he removed precancerous polyp.

World-class service and professionalism! I very recently had an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time with Dr. Jimoh and his staff at the Huntersville, NC facility. The front desk staff, nursing staff, and procedure staff and of course Dr. Jimoh were superb! I had great peace of mind after first meeting Dr. Jimoh to conduct the procedures. Thank you to all involved! Respectfully yours, retired military officer.

Wonderful visit with Dr. Deal as always. He wants to know how I am feeling and how I am doing on the medication he has prescribed. He also asks if there is anything else I need to discuss with him. He is very pleased with the results and plans to see me again in 6 months. Very pleasant gentleman.

This have been one of the worst experiences at any Doctor visit since I relocated to Charlotte. Doctor P. Enter into the examination room his speech and body language was already combative, he never introduced himself he talked about his colleagues. I explained to him my symptoms his response to me was what do you want me to do wave a magic wand to make you feel better, he never exam me,this man made me feel uncomfortable in my skin.he wrote a prescription and ordered a cat scan which I had to just about begged him to do. I didn't take the prescription he gave me because I didn't have any trust in him. After leaving his office I went to E.R for treatment Doctor Patel lack empathy for his patients and have poor bedside manners

Jan P.
I saw Dr Jimoh yesterday for my 3rd visit. I have suffered with my problem for many many years and have seen colon recital doctors, several gastroenterologists but never have I had someone listen to my complete story, ask questions and seem to know immediately what was wrong. I have new meds and from the very first day I was so much better. In my opinion he is the very best and also friendly and easy to talk to about delicate subjects. I’ll never go anywhere else for gastro problems!
Gail M.
Procedure is always quick and easy once at the office. Dr Deal is easy to engage and always professional
Joseph K.

I've been seeing Dr. Thompson for colonoscopies for a long time. He's a very caring Doctor. He listens to, and hears, his patients.

I would highly recommend seeing him for any and all digestive, or any related problems you may have!!

Willie L.
Dr. Jimoh strived to get me the digestive healthcare I needed and wanted, I searched for answers for years having severe stomach pain that made me pass out over ten times with no help in sight until I found this doctor, he reassured me that we would find an answer to what was causing my pain and he kept his word. He was able to do testing and he ruled out many different issues and determined that I had IBS, he and his staff sent me information on how to diet properly to help treat this condition as well as giving me a treatment plan with medication my primary doctor prescribed. He is one of the best and I believe he firmly cares about his patients.
Ariel P.
Nice and pleasant
Audrey G.

Patricia W.
Have you ever experienced seeing a family member gradually become very sick? For over three years my family watched as the Matriarch of our family slowly lost her health and was literally at the point of giving up. My mother had endured many tests. She had endured very painful treatments to alleviate her symptoms. Only to have the symptoms return. Her condition was worsening, Painful treatments were no longer helping. Her will to recover was vanishing. Our family was truly preparing our hearts for life without my sweet mother. Then, Dr Gaurav Chand entered our lives! He was able to aggressively find and treat the root problem. I will always be thankful to him for taking charge and making things happen. Thank you seems inadequate for Dr Chand. His professionalism ended a long and painful journey for our family. Any patient would be blessed to have him as their doctor. It's only been three weeks but the improvement in mom's health has been remarkable! I wish you he would have been in charge of my mothers case years sooner
Teresa J.
I can't believe I called and someone actually answered their extension without it going to voice mail. Lisa Matusko provides excellent customer service. Her communication was exceptional and much appreciated.
Terri K.
Fortunately, I was referred to Dr. Schneider by Dr. House (female). I wanted to go to someone that was actually going to HEAR what I was saying and what I wasn’t saying due to me not being a doctor. I am so grateful to met Dr. Schneider because he really listened to what I had to say and he told me things I never would’ve thought was a problem. He’s very kind and calm. Before I left his office I cried because I knew I was in caring hands. As an African American/black woman that meant everything to me. I had my procedure yesterday and everything went well and the staff was very friendly. The only issue I had was the changing out of the lab cost presented with 2013 prices to 2021 prices, which were a lot higher. Other than that everything went great. Thank you to everyone involved for your services offered and the follow up phone call I just received while typing (Denise).
Lakeisha G.
Great Experience..And Good to be back under Carolina Digestive Health's Care w/ Dr. Fred Fowler.
Andrew L.
I was a Previous Patient W/ Carolina Digestive being seen by Dr. Fred Fowler.I moved to Asheville NC. Upon returning to the Concord Area I was Hospitalized @ Atrium Northeast due to a GI Bleed and Low Hemoglobin Count of 3.7 level. I was placed back under care if Dr.Fred Fowler and Carolina Digestive and Colonoscopy was done by Dr. Fowler. The Carolina Digestive Team and Dr. Fowler were Great. They went to Work immediately like I had not left practice. Problem was found and Blood Transfusion was admitted and Done, and All is back to Normal now, minus a Little Inflammation in Colon due to Crohn's Disease. Thank You To Carolina Digestive Health and Dr. Fowler and The Team there..It's Great to be back in Your Care!

Overall, it went well. I did have some after-effects. I threw up and had bad gas pains. It's my second week and I still have pains on the side that the polyp was removed. Felt sharp pains. I eventually took advil and the pain is gradually subsiding. I guess it is still sore and healing slowly. My throat felt like I had an endoscopy. All the attendants were nice and accomodating. Glad the polyp was benign. Thank God!

I was anxious and in a lot of pain. I waited 30minutes and then my felt very rushed. There was a lot of information that I needed to convey but really didn’t get much of a chance. He was very nice and seemed kind but was obviously in a hurry. Also, my prescription was called to a pharmacy an hour away the next day and it took about 6 hours for the provider to return my distress call. I’m the meantime my GP sent a separate prescription to a compounding pharmacy just a couple miles from me. It was a pretty frustrating experience for someone experiencing a lot of pain.
