"Had an esophagus dilation scheduled at the Endoscopy Center at St Francis hospital having had many of these over the years for difficult swallowing I was familiar with the process . The nurses get right to it preparing you for the procedure appropriate questions are asked for your safety . Anesthesiologist will advise you of the sedation medication used and reassures you that it is safe and Dr Crane will do the same.also Dr Drake depending upon who does the procedure. At this hospital I have always had the safest procedures . Much gratitude for all at the Endoscopy Center at St Francis Hospital."
"I think Dr.Drake is very personable and I believe that he knows his stuff. I have only met him about 3 times now but hope to change that. I am required to have a mid year office visit and hope to do that by scheduling with him. His physician assistants are equally capable but I think that you come to know your doctor better when you consistently schedule your appointments with them. I have my colonoscopies every two years. Seeing the same doctor makes a difference!"
"Dr. Drake is a wonderful and kind doctor. He really took the time to listen to me. He also takes the time to answer any questions and explain things. I was a bit nervous before endoscopy but he put me at ease."
"Quick thorough service. Procedure was skillfully explained and all my questions were honored and answered. Staff (from intake to recovery) was professional and friendly"
"Dr. Drake always takes the time to explain things to me and answer questions. He takes the time to help you find the least expensive pharmacy for your medication. He is also straight forward and honest while being very kind. Parking is an issue, I drove around for 10 minutes and saw a couple near accidents because people were frustrated. My particular appointment could have been virtual which would have freed up parking and given Dr. Drake more time for other patients."
"Have been seeing Dr Drake now for just over a year. Good listener and explains things very well. Knowledgeable and very competent. He also seems to be a really nice guy too. Planning on referring others to this dr."
"Is the best. He painlessly handled me. But he pulled 2 wisdom teeth and did not write me something for pain. I had a funeral and am a caregiver.i thought I was going to die. One his young staff was rude saying I was pill seeking. So I suffered thur it. I'll not go back for being mis judged and argue with me a 63 yr old woman in excellent condition missing only 3 teeth. But the doctor was and is awesome.sets up a game plan long term for your mouth. Excellent Dr. Just loved him."
"Dr. Drake went above & beyond to complete my Colonoscopy. Due to an administrative error, I found out upon my arrival that I wasn't on the schedule! Dr. Drake took me in & got the exam completed, thoroughly & professionally. I'm extremely grateful for his flexibility & excellent care."
"I have had 4 endoscopies at the St Francis location. Never any anxiousness. Goes well. Of course, small incidents happen. No damage. Dr Drake & your St Francis staff are very kind & compassionate. Thank you!"
"Dr. Drake was very thorough and professional. He made me feel very comfortable about the procedure and explained the results. Appreciate his taking such good care of me."
"It can be tricky treating a complex patient like myself. He was very engaged and kind. Asked a lot of questions to understand what I was going through. I really appreciate him."
"Quick check in and out. Not much to talk about with the doctor at my follow up. I’m glad I’m feeling better and the rooms have space for my baby’s stroller."
"Very friendly yet professional. My doctor was running behind and Dr. Drake volunteered to do my colonoscopy, so I didn't have to wait. He did a great job."
"Dr. Drake is a wonderful doctor! He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and personable. His demeanor puts you at ease and he listens intently to any questions you may have. This gastroenterologist’s group and their staff are top notch! Jackie Neace"
"My previous gastroenterologist retired after I had seen him continuously for 30 years and he suggested I see Dr. Drake. He is through and has an understanding bedside manner."
"Doctor Drake is thorough and listens to patients. When I had a questionable result from a colonoscopy, he ran tests a second time then has been diligent in his follow up."

"My experience with Dr Drake was great. He was genuinely concerned with my medical problems and seemed willing to use his knowledge and expertise while addressing everything."
"I went to Indiana Gastroenterology for a 2nd opinion. Due to having SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth). I was diagnosed with it in March 2022. I am currently now getting the help and treatment for it. I was treated with professional respect and understanding that this is an serious infection that shouldn't be just put to the side like IU Health did. I currently see Dr. Drake. I like him alot. He took his time and I didn't feel rushed at all. He immediately noticed my issue with my stomach, looking 3 months pregnant all the time. (Which I am not part of the infection always bloated and hard stomach.) I believe what helped me during the appointment was having all my paperwork from another doctor and documenting what issues I had to help decide what needs to be done."
"Dr Drake is fantastic, theres no GI dr around id trust more than him. Only problem with indy gasto is you cant ever reach a live person, sometimes it takes days before you can speak with scheduling."
"I've only seen Dr. Drake once, since my previous GI doc retired. So far so good. Dr. Drake was prompt, professional, friendly and answered all of my MANY questions... even if the answer was that he didn't know. I respect his honesty! He wasn't hasty and spent adequate time with me."
"As unpleasant as the prep was for my procedure, Dr. Drake was very courteous and informative. He spoke with me before and after my procedure. Would highly recommend him"
"Bring newer to Indiana it is always hard to find a new doctor. Especially one that you feel comfortable with. But, I hit the jackpot with Dr Drake and his group. They are caring and wonderful. I would highly recommend Indy Gastro and Dr Drake!"
"Great staff great service Thanks for your convenience of the service you and your staff provided for me I look forward to the next time I need you again !"

"The experience there was about as good as one could have given the procedure that was completed .Everyone involved was knowledgeable, helpful and respectful!"
"I was treated with respect and have been given excellent care by Dr. Drake. Me is a great listener, has patience and is very thorough. I trust his judgement completely and feel blessed to be his patient."
"Dr. Drake actually cares about his patients. I have a unique situation where I travel for my work and Dr. Drake agreed to follow me via telehealth. I get the necessary blood work done wherever I am at and I have agreed to come to Indy for my colonoscopy. I really appreciate him continuing to follow my care. I think he is an excellent doctor and feel really comfortable with him. And his staff is right on top of things. Any time I have questions, they respond ASAP."
"Dr. Drake is one of the most kindest doctors I have ever had. He won’t stop until he finds answers and can help whatever issues you have. I highly recommend him."

"My injuries were never treated in a timely manner. Now over 6 months after my accident I am still in a lot of pain. Have another permanent disability. If treated with in 6 weeks of accident or sooner, instead of 12 weeks. I could have made a full recovery. The health care system totally failed me. As for Dr. Drake I got excelent treatment. Staff was great."
