Gastro Health - Olympia

The people who work here are excellent. They are invested in my health and show appropriate concern and excitement for my outcomes. Their coffee shop (when open) is great as well. Had a latte today that was better than most shops around town. And fit to my diet.

First impressions are everything. At my first appointment I felt as though my voice was actually heard. My concerns and needs were met head on. In a good way. I felt very comfortable and not once did I feel judged or looked down upon. This place is actually a breath of fresh air. I feel like other practices could learn a lot from the way Gastro Health chooses to treat their patients. I have to four stars based off of my first time there. I feel like the future will bring about a 5 star review from me. The doctor I visited was really nice, caring, and compassionate. Truth be told she kind of got on me but it was something that I needed to hear. I appreciate the honesty and I knew it was coming from a good place and not a place of "I know better than you." Great job team!!

I've been a patient at this clinic since the 90's. My care was transferred to Bonnie McReynolds, ARNP a few years ago and she has provided high quality care and all the info I need to make informed decisions. Bonnie is very personable and upbeat during appointments and generous with her time to ensure all issues are covered and questions answered. Also, all members of support staff are excellent before and during appointment time.

My first appointment at Gastro Health was a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and helpful and the waiting areas were very attractive and clean. Dr. Brar, my gastroenterologist is probably the best Doctor I have ever met. He listened to my whole story and was very engaged and interactive. He was not rushed at all and explained everything in great detail regarding his recommendations for my treatment. I have some complex issues resulting from a major surgery 25 years ago and Dr. Brar put my mind at ease that together we could find resolution. After discussing my treatment plan I feel finally we are addressing the core issues. I am indeed lucky to have to Dr. Brar as my gastroenterologist. Dr. Brar has a rare combination of a great demeanor, wisdom from decades of experience and a

Melinda, MA, was absolutely lovely. She listened and answered any questions I had. Very personable. She was a 5 star. However, what really counts is that the nurse practitioner (I later found out - this information was not given to me when the appointment was made or during the visit), Ralph, didn't examine any part of my body, except heart and lungs. Was taken aback by this. Seems like an examination would proceed a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I have a hernia in my abdomen which he didn't ask any questions about. Instead, he was more concerned about getting me scheduled for the procedures. Really disturbing.
