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
The prep whereby you drink 64ounces of prescription liquid and follow a diet is the worst part of the prep for the procedure. The actual colonoscopy was not a problem because you are sedated. When you wake it’s over. The staff and doctor were very kind, attentive and professional.

Excellent before and after care.
I arrived a little before time. I thought that was the only patient there. Dr. Jest and staff were very professional and empathetic I felt like I was at a personal spa. For colonoscopy. I truly appreciate the personal attention. I felt like I was looking forward my next ten year for the next visit. They even called after care for two days please keep up the excellent love for your profession. Thank you all !

Very Pleased
My wife and I were very impressed with the Oconomowoc location. From the initial check in, Dr Jest, the anesthesiologist, the medical staff were all very pleasant, caring and thorough. Everything was thoroughly explained, not rushed. The facility is very nice. GI Associates has a top notch facility and staff at Oconomowoc. Thank you for making a somewhat unpleasant procedure tolerable.

Pleasant experience! Better than mailing it in.
I went in terrified and embarrassed. The staff was extremely professional, yet polite, kind and even funny. They work hard to put patients at ease. The process was quick, easy and over before I knew it. The process was thoroughly explained. Each person involved knew their role. The anesthesiologist was attentive. The recovery was painless as well. The only change I would recommend is wait another 30 seconds after the patient starts to wake up before asking what flavor juice they want. I would have picked something else. Other than that, it was a surprisingly pleasant experience. Do I want to do it again? No, but if I have to, I want to go back to GI Associates. Dr Jest was very clear about my results. He was kind and pleasant, like everyone else. From check in to departure, I have no complaints. Even the juice thing is just a recommendation. If you have to undergo an awkwardly invasive GI exam, GI Associates is a great place to choose. You will wake up thinking that wasn’t so bad.

Billing is messed up!
Received 2 bills- one for over $500 about 5 days after visit and then one about 5 weeks later for $100. Called insurance both times because we weren’t supposed to be billed at all, and finally verified with the office that we are at $0. But needed to make many calls and waste time figuring it out.
