The staff were very cordial and Eric was great. He was very attentive, listened well and explained things in a way it was easy for me to understand. I am very confident in his care and would recommend him to others.
Verified Patient
Julie Hammond is a wonderful provider who really takes the time to listen to all of your concerns and answer all of your questions.
Verified Patient
Everyone was very nice. Cindy Loeb was very nice. She acted like she cared about how I was feeling. She's running tests to find out what is wrong with my stomach. More than the other doctors.
Verified Patient
Dr. Gulley and staff were nice and made me feel at ease.
Verified Patient
Dr. Carandang was absolutely amazing! I was preparing for a procedure I made him aware of some other things I had going on.
He checked me out and put a plan in place to help me get sone relief, before the procedure took place. He was very thorough, kind and professional.
Verified Patient
Allyson was very kind, knowledgeable and thorough. She took her time and I was able to ask questions and get detailed information. I highly recommend her.

Preparing for my appointment was a blast! I lost 11 pounds in 8 hours. You couldn’t accuse me of being full of it anymore. After surviving the purge of the century, I arrived at my appointment thinking the worst was behind me. Little did I know what was soon to behind me was actually to be in me behind. But first, I had to face a sweet but determined Inquisitor to answer questions about everything that had ever entered or left my body. And I mean ever! Then it was on to the viewing session where the company was great, but I was out like a light before I could even count to 12. The next thing I knew I was in a post-op room being not only given permission to fart, but encouraged to do so, and applauded when I did. I was literally under doctor’s orders to fart! And better yet, they never mentioned an end-date.

My wife disagreed. But she’s a PhD and not an MD. So I continued following the MDs instructions and farting at will.

But I haven’t seen my wife in three days. Maybe I should call the doctor, and ask if there was indeed a cease fire on the farting.

At any rate, 1 star on the prep. 5 stars on the viewing. And two thumbs up for telling me to fart at will.

BTW, the review is asking for photos. I don’t think you want to see what they saw. Sorry for the mental image.

This was a great experience from check-in to check-out. I was able to make my appointment online and within 3 days time. I had never seen Eric Carandang but truly glad I did. He was thorough, listened and developed a plan of action WITH me, explaining why he was recommending things as well as what would be next. I felt like he was really basing it on what I needed and wanted. Look forward to continuing my treatment with him.
