"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."
"Kaitlyn Geiss is wonderful! I feel comfortable talking to her because she cares and is very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Indy Gastro!"
"We are blessed to have Gastroenterology in Indianapolis. They are the best! Very professional yet understanding and caring."
"Annie has helped me with my issues more in two visits than anyone has been able to in the past year. I would highly recommend Indianapolis Gastroenterology. Pleasant atmosphere and professional employees."
"I’ve been very happy with the care I’ve gotten with Indy Gastro. I would recommend them to anyone with issues."
"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."
"Would definitely recommend this group to anyone needing Gastroenterology services. Lindsay listened to me and heard what I was saying. She helped me resolve my issues quickly and professionally."
"I love everything about Indy Gastro and Doctor Jacobs but scheduling an appointment is not very user-friendly. Please contact me if you want more details. Too much info to share here."
"Dr. Haynes is one of the kindest and caring physicians I've had the pleasure of seeing. He's been my gastro for over 12yrs."
"I had a colonoscopy in August. Dr. Roberts told me to call the office for a follow up appointment. I tried for 2 months. I called...waited on hold for 40 min on my lunch breaks, then would get disconnected. I tried the website, no one called me back. Finally I just gave up. When I went to my urologist 8 months later he, he asked if I had seen anyone in gastro yet and I told him how it was impossible. He called the office and 2 hours later someone called me to make an appointment finally. Something needs to change with that appointment system!"
"Highly recommend Indy gastro! Very efficient, professional and they had already reviewed my history prior to arriving for my appointment. One thing that is super aggravating is walking in to see a specialist and they have no idea why you are there! Felt like I was heard and was very happy to be given a plan of attack!"
"First diagnosed with Crohns in 76 by Jim Meadows. He moved to Muncie to teach. He left me in the care of Dr Rogge at University Hospital. Josh Kresge did the surgery. Been with Indy Gastro all these decades. Dr Roberts is absolutely great; always a joy to see him. Saw a Physician’s Assistant last month. Another great experience. They are thorough and compassionate. They know their patients. Highly recommended."
"Everyone whom I have had dealings with at Indy Gastroentrologist’s has been understanding, friendly, and courteous. They have always responded with any questions I might have in a friendly and professional manner be it through their convenient portal by phone or in person, can’t say enough about my Dr. Erin Murphy she has no problem spending time and answering any questions I might have."
"Indy Gastro took the time to help diagnose my problems and help me get past it!"
"Gastrointestinal intestinal DR. was very professional and knowledgeable. Asked all the right questions and seemed to have a genuine interest in my condition. Well done - thank you!"
"Dr. Troiano is excellent! I've been a patient of his for many years and so glad he's been my gastro physician. Dr. Troiano is very professional and at the same time personable."
"I love the team at Indy Gastro. You never know what to expect when seeing a specialist or new physician. From check-in to check-out, I always leave the office with a positive patient experience.Thanks to Anne Geary, P.A.-C for providing great patient care and treatment for me."
"I have been a patient of Dr Crane for a couple of years. He is a kind, caring, and thoroughly knowledgeable physician that truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr Crane if you have any gastroenterological or hepatological issues."
"Best gastro Doctor I have ever had."
"I have been going to Indianapolis Gastroenterology for several years. They are professional and knowledgeable. They work with you when it comes to medication and treatment(s). Their doctors and Nurse Practitioners are top notch."
"I highly recommend Dr Chang if someone is looking for a Gastro doctor. He’s very smart and innovative in treatment options. He’s easy to talk to & explains things in an understandable manner & doesn’t rush your appointment."
"Dr. Brown efficiently diagnosed and treated my issues. He spent adequate time explaining all procedures, all.diagnoses,.and all treatment required. I would recommend Dr. Brown to anyone seeking gastrointestinal treatment."
"This doctor listens to what you have to say. He takes time to talk with you. Never rushes you. I would recommend him as your gastroenterologist."
"Anne is a wonderful. She listens to you and makes you feel heard. I have seen many gastrointestinal docs in my life and they either do not listen to you or are not friendly. Dr. Smrek and I came up with a plan together and I liked that. I would recommend her to everyone I know. I had expressed frustration about not being able to reach their office for a few weeks in which she apologized and told me about patient portal. I have had nothing but success now with scheduling appts, sending messages, test results, etc."
"From the time I walked into reception until I walked out to head home, I was greeted with warm, friendly smiles. The intake med-tech was business-like but fun! Dr. Crane came into the room, introduced himself and immediately apologized for the wait time. He listened, acknowledged he understood what I was trying to convey, and then responded appropriately. He alleviated many of my fears and concerns. He offered me advice to help me better achieve comfort and be able to handle my gastro problems. He gave me confidence in his caring attitude and made feel I mattered as a human being and not just a chart of facts and figures."
"Dr. Buckley is great. He's straight forward in his communication, which I appreciate very much. I would rate him with 5 stars if it wasn't for the way in which the Indy Gastro office is run. Customer/patient service doesn't seem to be a core value of those who run the office. It's nearly impossible to speak with someone on the phone and extremely difficult to schedule an appointment. When the Dr. wants a follow up visit in 3 months then the patient should be able to schedule that day. However, the calendar being used doesn't go out 3 months so the patient has to either call back in a month or hope that the schedulers call them. Dr. Buckley is great but Indy Gastro has some work to do."
"Indy Gastro took the time to help diagnose my problems and help me get past it!"
"If your ever in need of a gastroenterologist look up indy gastroenterologist . I was in serious pain and Dr. Morelli took the time to talk with me and done specific test and found what was wrong. Now im on the mend. Thank you doctor and your whole team. Thank you all."
"Very good Dr and saw NP today. She was awesome. Very concerned for my health and actually helpful. Thanks to Indy Gastro!"
"I went through a year of pain. I had every test under the sun performed but no one could figure it out. I was so frustrated and down because of my quality of life. I was then directed to Dr. David Brown of Gastro Indy with St. Francis. Not only are the staff and nurses so friendly, they care! They care about me! I was finally treated...after ONE visit. I still have my ups and downs, but my doctor is always with me as well as the nurses and staff. I will never go to another gastro docotor....ever! I love you guys! Thank you for always taking the time to listen to my concerns, and most important, treating me like a person and not a number."
