"Everyone is so friendly and very helpful. Dr. Drake explains everything and is so understanding."
"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."
"The staff was very friendly and informative. Dr. Drake was thorough in his explanation of the procedure and the follow-up after. The anesthesiologist was also very thorough in explaining his part of the procedure. The entire staff was very professional! I would highly recommend Dr. Drake and his staff."
"Twice have had a procedure here with Dr Drake. He is so kind and puts your mind at ease. Recommend Dr Drake."
"Quick but thorough, attentive."
"Update 2023: finally getting answers! Started off rocky but learned you want to get the portal to communicate with Staff and doctors. Best and quickest way instead of calling in. Update 2022: I gave this place a 5 star in the beginning but it's going down to a 3 star now. Doctor sent in a prescription for a new medication, it was a week that had sent over to the pharmacy. I went in and talked to meijer staff about this particular prescription. The nice man stated we sent it back to the office for a pre authorization 3 days ago!!! Haven't heard back from them. I called the doctors office and asked what was going on. The staff said we are working on it. This is probably the second time I had have this issue with my medications that need pre authorization with this office. Luckily the doctor gave me an alternative to try, thank goodness for that and the doctor herself. Honest review- 2nd opinion what I went for. I started out at IU Health Gastroenterology Avon location I started having issues in late October 2021. I received the worst care. No return phone calls no return emails and if I did get emails they were extremely late and rude. The doctor was so rude and staff was unbelievable. I was on so many antibiotics that have not worked. I went to Indiana Gastroenterology due to have 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 really takes time with his patients. During my appointment he listened to what I had to say and answered all of my questions. He was in no hurry and took the time to put me at ease. I feel very fortunate to have him as my gastroenterologist. I know I am going to receive the best of care."
"I was referred to Dr. Drake after my initial colonoscopy. He has performed two more this year to remove large polyps and to verify I was “all clear”. He takes time to explain the process and easy any concerns I had. He has a wonderful bedside manner and I would highly recommend him!"
"Dr Drake is awesome. He listens and takes his time with his patients. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a gastroenterologist."
"Dr drake is a very good doctor and very nice"
"If you don't mind getting a colonoscopy, make an appointment with Dr. Drake."

"Very professional, yet friendly. Doctor Drake answered all our questions. Put our concerned to rest. Has a good plan to help my hubby Buck heal and feel better soon we pray."
"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Drake and Indy Gastro for 10 years now. Dr. Drake, his NP, and his PA are phenomenal. They have wonderful bedside manner and are always thoughtful and considerate of your concerns. They always do their best to answer any question you have and if they don’t have an immediate answer for you, they will find one and follow up with you. I can’t speak for other physicians and their staff within Indy Gastro, but Dr. Drake and his staff are the best gastro specialists I’ve ever been a patient of. They’ve been a joy to work with and have done wonders in getting my GI issues under control. One complaint that I share along with many others is their scheduling system. A few years ago, I used to be able to call the main office or be transferred directly to someone in the scheduling department. Now, when you call in and press the appropriate key to be transferred to scheduling, it constantly rings for 5-10 minutes or so with background information and then you get sent to a voicemail. Your call never gets returned, either. It’s a complaint that many current patients share along with some staff that I spoke to at my most recent appointment. In order to get connected, always press 0. You’ll be transferred to records and they can actually connect you to someone instead of the scheduling line. I highly advise that Indy Gastro look into this and do some modifications to their phone system. Adding online scheduling and/or an online scheduling form would be helpful. Though the fork would only be helpful if you actually received a call back."

"Dr. Is a great doctor he takes care his client I'll recommend him to anyone who looking for a good service."
"My first time meeting Dr. Drake, even though I’ve had multiple procedures over the years done at the facility. Dr. Drake was very personable, professional, and friendly. I did not get to spend a lot of time in conversation with him, but found him to be very efficient.

I would definitely return to Dr. Drake if I had any further issues. I definitely would recommend him to everyone."
"Aside from the prepping, everything was such a great experience, from the time I walked into the office until the time I left. Everyone was so nice and treated you with courtesy and respect. They made you feel at ease. Everyone introduced themselves and explained their role and what they were going to be doing. Doctor Drake introduced himself before the procedure asking if I had any questions or concerns. Within a blink of an eye it was all over. Dr. Drake met with me afterwards, explaining the results. I will see them again in seven years. Thank you for caring and wanting to know how everything went."
