In patients' words
"He listened and took the time to talk to me about what was going on. Detailed explanations about follow up and moving forward with a treatment plan. He spoke with me like I wasn't just a dollar sign walking through the door but a person."
— Patient review of a provider at Northern Medical Group Gastroenterology Division"Good experience with the doctor for a colonoscopy - but calling the office for an appointment or asking a question is impossible. I’ve had to call 2-3 times and leave a message in order to hear back from them."
— Patient review of Dr. Elizabeth Williams on Healthgrades"We had a deeply troubling experience with Dr.Arthur Walczyk and his Gl group... Following the colonoscopy, my husband experienced severe hemorrhaging... This experience revealed a serious lack of communication, accountability, and follow-up."
