Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very caring
I have been seen by Dr. Sklaw , he is a very knowledgeable doctor and he will put you at ease the moment the interview starts.

Excellent care
Dr. Sklaw was familiar with my medical history. He was kind and patient. For the first time in 10 years I feel I am getting the proper treatment for my Crohn's disease. I would highly recommend Dr. Sklaw and Ohio Gastro. I felt that I am in good hands.

Good guy!
I’m a pretty outgoing person and don’t hesitate to ask questions, engage in conversation, and show the doctor that I am part of the team. I think Dr. Sklaw likes that approach; he has always been very forthright and engaging with me. Wouldn’t have anyone else take care of my Gastro issues. He shows his concern and knows your history well enough to make solid recommendations about follow up care. Wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Would recommend
Dr. Sklaw did my EGD and I would recommend him. He was very caring and skilled. When I was alert after the procedure he explained what had been done and what was found. My procedure was done in Pickerington and I was impressed by the entire staff; receptionist, nurses, anesthesia and all others who involved in my care.

Everyone was totally professional during my colonoscopy two weeks ago. Every step of the process was handled well, and they all made me feel very comfortable for a scary procedure. I highly recommend the Ohio Gastroenterology Group and will gladly refer others to them. Thanks to Dr. Brett Sklaw and all of the nurses and MA's for the calming words of support.

I had a colonoscopy and upper gi scope. I have 2 issues with Sklaw, First, I felt severe upper belly pain immediately upon waking. It never eased, and Dr Sklaw's words were we are discharging you, if the pain persists go to the ER. It felt like it was intentional to relieve Sklaw and Ohio Gastro of any responsibility. Secondly, I subsequently vomited the next morning. It was fluid and what looked remarkably like drip coffee grounds. My GP doctor told me today that it was in all likelihood old blood and without committing to his words, said the upper GI scoping process done carelessly can cause a multitude of microscopic tears. The tears bleed slowly and heal in days if you are fortunate.

I have been very impressed with Dr. Sklaw and his staff. They have been professional, caring, knowledgeable, and attentive. When I've had questions, they have been prompt to get back to me with answers. Dr. Sklaw even called me at 9:00 p.m. one evening about concerns with some blood work I had done in preparation for my appointment. He explained his concerns and helped me address issues with my primary physician. At my appointments, he has reviewed my condition and provided helpful explanations and recommendations. I sincerely appreciate the great care Dr. Sklaw has provided.
