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.

Awful, avoid.
I had to call an ambulance for my spouse after a routine diagnostic with Dr. Rauscher. He ended up in the ER and spent days in the hospital.

great!
i have been a patient here for about 15 years and I tip my hat for the aec team always striving to provide consistent individualized humanistic care, and doing so in a person-centered way rather than treating me like one of a million people such as larger hospital settings where you feel like their goal is to churn you through as fast as possible and bill as much as possible. I love aec because i feel as though their goal is to do best job possible and they do not prioritize dollars over people. It is precisefly the opposite!

Does not listen to your concerns. Gives misinformation and misdiagnosis!!!! Believes in prescribing deadly drugs for a temporary condition that can be resolved primarily with a change in diet. Foods that aid in recovery naturally. Run from this place!

Met Dr Rausher today and boy did he really help me outs. Dude knows his stuff better than lots of weirdos i've seen. Doctor Rausher actually knew his stuff and explained to me why my problems were hapenning and how to fix them. I shoulda gone to Dr. Rausher to begin with instead of a big medical office with a million docs. I really like the personal touch and consistency

Dr. Rausher is both a well-seasoned, knowledgable and surprisingly entertaining/fun as a physician. I have been seeing Dr. R for 10 years. I’ve had 20 office visits. Dr. Rausher at Atlanta Center for Gastroenterology has really helped me alleviate a lot of unpleasant GI-related ailments I have previously suffered with. I really like the guy personally, and professionally his work is - candidly - what one could best hope for in seeing a Gastroenterologist. This physician is direct, he knows what he is talking about, he listens to my questions and answers them, and he focuses on action. He is a problem-solution oriented (yet compassionate) doctor. I love his focus on the solution element of the term. He focuses on making me feel better, and working with me to determine the best means for me to go about achieving my goal. I am happy to repot I am now better than ever thanks primarily to Dr. Rausher, but also to the entire staff.

Hostile, dismissive, rude, gruff—how many adjectives do I need to describe what was the rudest treatment I've ever received at a doctor's hands? I came in trying to explain that my father died of colon cancer at the age I am right now—Rausher abruptly cut me off and asked why I was there. I tried elaborating that I had several gastric issues that needed addressing—he cut me off again. When I noted his seething hostility after I'd been interrupted about five times within the space of 90 seconds, he argued that he wasn't being hostile. An absolutely repulsive way to treat a patient.

I have been seeing both Dr. Rausher and Dr. Parrish for longer than I can even recall. They have been tremendously helpful throughout my life, and have enabled me to live a more healthy, productive, happy lifestyle without experiencing the terrible GI symptoms that originally caused me great pain. I highly recommend the entire staff and both doctors at AEC and ACG. Ten out of ten!

I’ve been seeing both Dr. Charles Parrish and Dr. David Rausher and their delightful team at Atlanta Center for Gastroenterology for the better part of a decade now. Without getting into too much boring detail, let me tell you as a seasoned guy whose always suffered with Gastro and stomach issues - the gastroenterologists at ACG are simply the best.

I had an initial consult with Dr. Rausher at the Atlanta Center for Gastroenterology because I was experiencing blood in my stool. Dr. Rausher was very informative and helpful in identifying possible causes. I subsequently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Rausher at the Atlanta Endoscopy Center. Long story short - all went very smoothly and the doctor not only alleviated my symptoms, but also took efforts to help them from occurring again. The staff was warm and friendly, and I would certainly recommend Dr. Rausher to others.

I experienced concerning bowel movements in early 2019. I was not sure if I had digestive issues, normal common issues that most people experience and I shouldn't worry about, or if I had something more serious. After changing providers to Dr. Rausher from my prior GI doc of 7 years and having my medical records sent to Atlanta Center for Gastroenterology, I was SO happy that I took the time and efforts to seek a high-quality provider. After all, it is my health! AND - bittersweet news - Dr. Rausher was able to diagnosis and successfully treat my medical issues that my prior physician could not. Dr. Rausher provided tremendously personalized care for me, and I have never felt greater relief. He is incredibly compassionate and seems to have the wellbeing of the patient as his #1 priority above and beyond anything else. He was informative, thorough, candid, and I highly recommend to anyone with questions about what they think could be a potential GI issue.

I have been going to see Dr. David Rausher Atlanta Center for Gastroenterology for complex GI issues that I've had for years. Dr. Rausher helped alleviate my symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease when others could not. He has also performed both a colonoscopy and an EGD on me at his ASC, Atlanta Endoscopy Center. Both procedures went as well as one could hope for, and I absolutely recommend the folks at Atlanta Center for Gastroenterology for anything from routine colon cancer screens to treatment of rare gastrointestinal diseases. Dr. David Rausher has the experience and knowledge needed to exceed my expectations, and I trust he does the same for others.

Dr. Rausher is a uniquely seasoned, well-studied detail-oriented physician whose focus is clearly on getting his patients better quickly and safely, and the depth of this doctor's knowledge- base floors me. I can go into specifics and types of unique insightful attributes Dr. Rausher possesses (all of which are worth mentioning, but alas time does not permit)..but long story short - the man's services are unparalleled in terms of quality, cost, etc I cant singe him enough praises

We was able to narrow the cause of my issue without doing any invasive exams or prescribing any unnecessary meds. His staff was also extremely professional. I highly recommend!
