NIKKI L. PARKER-RAY, MD REVIEWS

She's not just a doctor, she actually cares. She's a care advocate for her patients. That's so important. She's a wonderful person beyond being one of the most knowledgeable and kind doctors I have ever experienced. Makes things simple and direct. Top tier. Her team also navigated the awful insurance system for me to get my much needed medication. Her and her team are a blessing, and im appreciative to have had the opportunity to be cared for by them. Thank you.

Dr. Nikki Parker-Ray of Southwest Gastroenterology and Southwest Endoscopy provided excellent care during my recent experience. The entire team—from registration to nurses to anesthesiologist through escort to my driver’s car--was professional, congenial, and reassuring.

Nikki Parker Ray is my first choice when needing either of those scopes to make sure my health is good. Her pre-op visit is so reassuring as well as her post op. She takes the time to answer all questions! Long wait to see her- so book early!!.

HOWARD K. GOGEL, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Gogel was great at putting me at ease, and he explained the results of my colonoscopy in simple and easy to understand terms. His whole staff obviously love working with him, and that's great for us patients.

Very nice staff. Made me feel calm and office was very clean and office staff, nurses, and anesthesiologist were awesome A+. Dr is very nice and explained everything clearly before and after the procedure.

I received exceptional care from Dr. Gogel and the entire staff at SW Gastro. I would recommend this facility and provider.

LANCE TRENT TAYLOR, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Taylor is so patient and kind! He came in to make sure I was ready and comfortable before my procedure. He also took the time to discuss results and answer any questions I had. The nurses were phenomenal, helped my nerves, and made sure I was ready. Thank you all for a wonderful experience, although the procedures are not so comfortable, you all make it seem easy!.

The medical staff and Dr. Taylor are very good at taking care of their patients, making sure all of your questions are answered before and after your procedure. They send the appropriate paperwork home with you and follow up with a call later in the day to check on you.

The staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. Taylor was professional and polite. No issues at all. I would highly recommend this facility. It's worth the wait for appointments and screenings.
