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 February 12, 2025
Dr. Kaila & her team helped me during my colonoscopy experience. I was so nervous, to some people having a colonoscopy is no big deal but I was scared. I prayed & worshiped to our God for peace & calmness. I believe in praying OUTLOUD. One of the nurses there also began worshipping God too. I felt like they all cared for me. I called all the nurses & doctors my angels. Praise God for good people. Dr. Kaila is kind & very professional. I am thankful to everyone that helped me. May God bless you all.

Some doctors care about helping others and some that only care about money. This one definitely falls under the latter. Go anywhere else where they actually care about helping you and solving your issue.

For years I postponed having a colonoscopy. I’m ashamed I let fear rule me for so long. Dr. Kaila and her team are very caring and completely professional. The procedure itself was quick and I was able to return home shortly afterwards. All instructions were clear and easy to follow before the procedure. And Dr. Kaila was very precise with results and open for questions at the follow-up appointment. I will absolutely be seeing her for my next procedure. Thanks to all involved in our care.

I am Dr Kaila's patient. She is attentive/caring and knowledgeable. i trust her 100%. She is your advocate, wanting the best for your health. When was the last time u received a followup call from your Physician? Dr Kaila herself follows up. Her team at the clinic is EFFICIENT - over past couple of years that I have been with Dr Kaila, I never had to call her office twice to follow up. I highly recommend Dr Kaila.

I had previously met with a different gastro doc. I felt disappointed and rushed. On the other hand my experience with Dr.kaila was a relief. From her receptionist to her nurses where so caring and informative. Dr. Kaila took her time to listen to my symptoms and my family history.
