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.

Awesome Dr!!!!
He is so kind and concerned about getting to the root your problem and you don’t feel rushed at all. I will never have another gastroenterologist because he is the BEST!!

Awesome
Dr. Sumner listens and does care about his patients. I've been seeing him for several years and I refused to go to another GI specialist after my GI disappeared. my twin sister told me to see him and I wouldn't choose another GI over Dr Sumner.

Great knowledge and communication
Well organised office- I was seen at the time of the appointment. Dr. Sumner had all the right questions about my condition and showed concern. Explanations were easy to understand. Follow up will be within a couple of weeks. He was recommended to me by a family member and I gladly recommend him as well.

I have only had one visit but good so far..
I was seen at exactly my appointment time. He took a good history and he was pleasant and friendly. We discussed treatment options and decided on an appropriate path. He did everything I expected from a good GI doctor.

Very impressed
I first met Dr. Sumner a couple of weeks ago at an appointment to discuss some concerning symptoms I was having. I was impressed with his knowledge, patience, attentiveness, and the time he took with me. Fast forward to today when he performed my endoscopy and colonoscopy at Williamson Medical Center. Again, I'm impressed with his skill and knowledge. The anesthesiologist, nurses and all other personnel at WMC were very nice and efficient as well. I am very pleased with my care and would definitely recommend him and Williamson Medical Center.

Dr. Sumner was recommended to me by a friend and all her gushing comments were accurate. He was extremely thorough in reviewing all my previous medications and procedures associated with my disease. I felt very confident that he will follow-up depending on what his recommended EGD finds.
