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.

Colonoscopy procedure went smoothly
The procedure went smoothly but the prep is horrendous. Yes, had this done before but still the prep is awful. Staff was nice but it seems they could wear name tags as there are a lot of interaction with staff. This is a SSM Endoscopy center but I could not find on ssmmychart.

Very Professional and Knowledgeable
I have read some of these reviews and do not understand some of the low ratings. Some were not even a concern with him personally. I Have been with Dr Tierney for over 30 years...He is very Knowledgeable and Professional. He explains everything and answers any questions you may have. He has a deep concern for your health and well being. Like most Doctors he is very busy and sometimes it is hard to get a early appointment. However now he does have a Nurse Practitioner who can get you in very fast and Dr Tierney reviews all of her appt notes.

He was horrible and did not want to even examine me and this was before covid. He washed his hands more than helping or talking to me.

SSM Endoscopy center billed me for a procedure that failed and had to be repeated due to being provided incorrect instructions and they will not resolve the issue. Do not use SSM Health if you can work with BJC or a private practice.

Dr, Tierney decided my gallbladder was causing my intense stomach pain, even though previous tests indicated it is fine. He ordered two more expensive tests; both negative for gallbladder disease. He has no further suggestions other than "live with it." The online test reports show a hiatal hernia protruding into my chest

Dr. Tierney is very personable and does an outstanding job. He calls you with your results and cares for your understanding of what is involved in your procedure. He also has a very good staff of nurses.

Though I only vaguely remember Dr. Tierney who performed my colonoscopy, he was very nice and reassuring, and actually phoned me with the results. Very good doctor.
