"I was not happy with having this done a second time but this team was wonderful. They made me feel very much at ease. From the music to having everything explained in plain language. And joking around in the procedure room and Dr Crane going over results with granddaughter. If I ever have to have another gastro procedure it will be done by Dr Crane and team"
"Dr. Crane is wonderful! He is personable and asked lots of questions to get a better picture of my health issue. We made a plan for treatment and I love the portal I can use to communicate with his team."
"I can’t say enough about Dr. Morelli’s professionalism, care and attention. I recommend him highly for anyone looking for attention to gastric problems. He is outstanding and the staff reflects the same kindness and care"
"I am having an issue with diarrhea, more than 10 times daily and they truly are trying to get to the root cause of my problem taking their time with me and I feel they really care"
"Dr Crane is easy to understand and both efficient and professional. He listens carefully without interrupting and shows concern and care for his patient in the questions he asks and the time he puts into diagnosis and treatment. He also seems readily accessible should a later need arise. I would highly recommend him to anyone having gastrointestinal problems."
"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."
"My procedure went very well. The 10a appointment with very little wait before being taken back. The nursing staff were very professional and secure verifying my ID multiple times. The anesthesiologist explained her role and what to expect. Dr Vincent then came in to explain the procedure and options he needed answered to go forward. The procedure went off on timely manner with no issue. I felt very comfortable in all aspects. I was home and enjoying the day within 1 hour of the procedure. Highly recommend Dr Vincent and Indiana Gastro."
"Dr Crane was very professional & caring. Took time to listen to my problems. He was thorough & explained my colonostropy photos .He gave his for me in the future. Several times he ask if I had any questions. I now have an excellent stomach & colon Dr. Thanks Dr. CRANE"
"Dr. ORINION, M.D. is the first of my doctors that has actually sit and discussed options with me and my husband about my whole life and what I have been through. He is very intelligent and caring and open for whatever I need to talk about. I asked him about other doctors here at MHP and he shared his opinion. I'm very pleased to have him for my doctor. He ordered bloodwork and called me with results the next morning! I appreciated that so much! I'm still waiting for my other doctors to call me back that I left a message with yesterday??? Thank you for your prompt response and for your kindness. May God bless!"
"I was totally impressed with my care at Indianapolis Gastroenterology. All of my questions were answered and I was treated very respectfully and kept comfortable. I highly recommend them"
"Dr. CHENG was unavailable. I saw PA Madison Maloof. I was thoroughly impressed with Her knowledge, care and genuine interest in Me as a patient. She is excellent. She arranged for an endoscopy."
"Dr. Cheng is a wonderful caring doctor. He listens and is so good with figuring out what the problem is and has a plan to fix it. I feel fortunate to have found him because I had been dealing with stomach issues for many years.All the ladies in the office are very caring and helpful too. Noone rushes you."
"He takes a lot of time and explain all the things he was doing. Doing all the testing he needs to have done and have an other doctors look at The results Just make sure he did not miss something."
"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."
"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."
"It is a great Facility, the staff are nice and go over everything, when go in for appointment it’s on time or within a few minutes of my appointment, it is very clean."
"Dr Crane is the best, I have been seeing him for years he makes you fill comfortable with any questions that you have and takes the time to answer them. I would not go to anyone else or refer family or friends to anyone else. Actually I just referred a friend to him yesterday. If you need a great GI doctor you will not find a better one then doctor Crane!"
"Dr. Morelli and staff were very nice and efficient. My experience was great. They took me in early, and recovery time was very fast. I was in and out in an hour and a half. Would recommend to everyone."
"Very good experience with Shan Cheng he is one of the best doctors I have had the pleasure of meeting. His bedside manner is excellent. He really goes above and beyond. He clearly explains everything in a manner you can understand. I would trust him to do any procedure necessary. It’s rare to find a doctor like him these days."
"Dr. Orinion was extremely professional, very courteous, very empathetic… I only wish we could request who we get each time… But they are all so busy… But I’ve been with Indianapolis gastroenterology for years and have never gone wrong with any of the docs there!!"
"I highly recommend Dr. Michael Morelli, M.D. at Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology in St. Francis Hospital. He and his nurses always make me feel very comfortable and well informed."
"To have a dr. Contact you after a long time about a concern he has, it was very refreshing that I had the rest done. I would be in a lot of pain now. The hernia I had repaired is starting to loosen up. I’m glad the Dr took the opportunity to research this and let me know I could have a problem later. Thank you soo much .."
"Dr. Vincent and the staff (nurses, anesthesiologists and front desk) at Indy Gastro are always wonderful! However the scheduling office, which I believe is a separate entity, is usually quite frustrating to deal with due to long hold times that often result in just leaving a voicemail, hoping for a return call."
"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."
"I had my 1st appointment with Dr.Cheng and I am glad I found him. He read my chart notes from my prior Gastrointestinal Doctor and I felt like he knew me because he took the time to read my history. There aren't many Doctors around like this anymore."
"My office visit was great but haven't gotten a call back yet in a week and half to get my capsule endoscopy scheduled on my small colon, even after I called them and had to leave a message 2 days ago, still waiting!! Need it done badly, my oncologist has been pushing it and seems to be taking forever, for any doctor since April and it is October now!"
"Dr. Orion ion is simply the best! Skilled doctor with a great disposition with patients. Dr. Orion has been my gastroenterologist for over 15yrs and he always will be."
"My gastroenterologist retired so this was the first time I met Dr. Crane. He had a great bedside manner and I felt very comfortable with him. I will keep going to him for any future needs"
"I have been sick for over a month and in that time I’ve lost twenty pounds. I went to the emergency room twice just to be dismissed without any real answers. Dr. Jacob is the first person who I felt has actually listened to my concerns and has went above and beyond the call of duty to try and get me answers. I really feel like if it wasn’t for him I’d still be at square one trying to figure out what is going on with my health. A huge thanks goes out to him and all of the staff members at Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology!!!"
"Dr. was very thorough in his examination asking lots of questions and explaining the procedures in detail. He answered all my questions and was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Dr Morelli."
"IGH is the best! They have helped me through several endoscopies and colonoscopies. I don't ever remember waiting more than just a few minutes to be seen and the video visit was great too. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Roberts and all the nurses I have had contact with."
"Wonderful experience. Dr. Morelli was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I chose Indianapolis Gastroentrology and would highly recommend to anyone."
"I’ve been a patient at Indy Gastro for several years now. My latest visit was with Dr. Roberts. He was very helpful in describing my procedure and detailed about the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Jason Roberts."
"I needed a colonoscopy and endoscopy asap and no one could get me in quickly. I called in the morning one day (early enough to start the prep) and had the tests done the next day. Dr was professional and had a great bedside manner. Very pleased"
"Everyone who took care of me was very kind and patient. Dr. Oridion explained my procedure very well. He helped me to be more relaxed. The dr and staff were very professional. They all calmed my nerves. I will definitely be using Indiana Gastrointerology with my medical needs. Thank you."
"I was told by my primary care physician that I needed to see a specialist for my liver because it was over 3 times larger than it should be and it had increased in size significantly over the last few months. I had been referred for so many appointments and testings that I was starting to get really frustrated with no results or treatments. I had been feeling downright awful for months so once I found out my liver was at fault I was very worried about liver failure. I was struggling to find an appointment with a liver specialist in Indiana that could see a new patient within 2 months. I desperately even called around Kentucky, Illinois, and Ohio. I got an appointment for 3 days later in Ohio because of a cancellation. I called Dr.Vincent's office since he is who my Dr has originally referred me to, and once they found out I was desperate enough to drive to OH for an appointment they were kind enough to squeeze me in for an appointment that same day! My appointment experience was wonderful. The office was easy to locate, I got checked in and called back within 5 minutes. The nurse took some information and vitals, and Dr. Vincent was in to see me within 15 minutes of arriving to the hospital. He took the time to explain all liver related issues, and weeded out the issues that were unlikely while talking me through them. He was caring and attentive and patiently answered all of my questions and made me feel very confident about our game plan to figure out what is wrong and how to treat it. He immediately had a plan and got me set up to do some more testing. A few days after my appointment I had a few more questions, so I called the office and left a voice mail. Within 30 minutes his assistant, Nicole, reached back out to me and addressed my questions. That is unheard of for a doctor's office in my experience. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with Dr. Vincent and the staff at Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology. I am hopeful for a good outcome with my heath, and I know I am in good hands here. Hands down, I highly recommend Dr. Vincent and his office!"
"Dr. Crane has been my gastroenterologist for several years now. He is an exceptional physician who really cares about his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Crane and his team."
"I was treated with respect, and informed about everything to take place. Pre and post op information was relayed to me. While my procedure went as expected. I would highly recommend Dr. Jason Roberts and Indianapolis Gastroenterologists to anyone needing the medical care they provide. MS Jarrett"
"My experience with Dr. Drake was as pleasant as a colonoscopy can be. He and his staff were professional and kept me informed of all that would be happening. I highly recommend him and Indianapolis Gastroenterology."
"Always an excellent job by all personnel. Appointment is complete and thorough. All questions are discussed to my satisfaction before visit is completed. Any procedures I have needed have been explained and performed well. Dr. Crane and his staff are exemplary."
"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. Cheng is very professional, personable, and caring. Takes time to listen to your complaints. Research’s problem to help you. Have always found him to be understanding , patient and very kind. I highly recommend him to be your gastro-intestinal doctor."
"I have been a patient for several years. Dr Morelli is thorough, answers questions, and is simply a world class gastroenterologist. He had built a magnificent program for cancer patients as well as those with stomach and pancreatic disorders. I trust him with my life. He is the absolute best in his field."
"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."
"I was dreading the endoscopy BUT the staff was so friendly and caring it put me to ease a bit. I spoke to the whole medical team before my procedure. It was the first time I had met Dr. Roberts but he was friendly and professional and acted as if I was a patient he'd known for years and I felt he would take good care of me. AND he did. When it was over, I didn't remember anything concerning the procedure itself and I didn't feel groggy. Dr. Roberts even stopped by my recovery room to let me know the results, which were good. I would definitely recommend him. 't"
"Dr. Crane and his staff were very friendly. The intake nurse was so bubbly and full of life...she made me feel relaxed and welcomed. When dr. Crane came in..he actually sat down and held a conversation with me and asked me my thoughts and if I had questions....he was very through in answering all my questions and was very knowledgeable!! I feel confident in the care and service and I am thankful I chose Dr. Crane to provide my care!"
"This office was amazing! They got me in within a week to at least establish care. I could not say anything better about Kelly Cole she was great and truly seemed like she cared. The staff was great all around."
"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!"
"I met Dr Vincent for the first time since my other Doctor retired. Dr Vincent has a sincere demeanor about helping you every step of the way with your care. I would highly recommend him for your health care."
"The staff at Indy Gastro @ St. Francis Greenwood, IN is very courteous and professional. Dr. O is super and has a wonderful bedside manner. He is very informative and makes sure you fully understand what he tells you. Lynn Darlage"
"I had to have a procedure done and I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Orinion. Prior to the procedure he came in and talked to my husband and I. His bedside manners and his explanations were very knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Orinion without hesitation."
"Dr. Opinion was very nice. He came in before my procedure and talked to me and my husband. Then afterwards he talked to us. He has a very good bedside manner. His staff is very nice too. I would recommend him and his staff."
"I had Dr Frank Troiano as my gastroenterologist for at least 20+ years. He is retired now but is very knowledgeable with a good bedside manner. Very professional. The phone system at Indiana Gastroenterology had been absolutely terrible & frustrating but it has improved, thank God!"
"Dr. Opinion Is An Exeptional dr. He treats you with understanding. He Was very polite, friendly and has a great since of humor also. He is very thorough and makes sure you walk out of the hospital with the knowledge and understanding that he has treated you with the utmost respect and care that you deserve. A BIG thumbs up to him. Thank you so much for your service"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Andrew Crane at Indianapolis Gastroenterology for several years. I have found that Dr. Crane is very knowledgable and professional. I would certainly recommend Dr. Crane to anyone who is needing Gastroenterology services."
"I needed a Colonoscopy sort of in a hurry. I needed a new Gastroenterologist. We had already decided we wanted any new Drs. to be affiliated with Major Hospital Partners in Shelbyville, IN. When I called, I “drew” Dr. Paul Haynes. His staff made me feel welcome to the Practice and when I met him the very first time at the hospital before my Colonoscopy, he came in the room speaking to make me comfortable. He answered all my questions and assured me he was well experienced and that all would be well. He was right and right now Dr. Paul Haynes is my Gastroenterologist of record❗️"
"Excellent experience all the way around. Thorough, informative and sincerely interested towards my healthy well-being. Dr. Morelli was a lifesaver. Several years of pain for bouts with intestinal trouble each and every time I consumed food. My life and health are back to normal again, I couldn’t be more grateful. Will recommend to all my friends."
"Dr morelli is an excellent dr and Indianapolis Gastro is an excellent practice that supersedes their recommendations on their website. I wouldn’t go anywhere else."
"I have always had excellent experiences at Dr. Buckley’s office. I wouldn’t change anything and I will keep returning to his office for my care. He has an excellent ‘bedside’ manner with his patients."
"Dr Haynes has been my GI doctor for over 10 yrs. He is kind, caring, knowledgeable, and most importantly, he listens. He is involved in research and stays up on the latest GI info/studies/etc. Because of this, he has significantly helped my liver and other conditions over the last 10 yrs, and I’m grateful. He is a great doctor, and I have recommended him to friends and family!"
"He is a wonderful & caring doctor. He diagnosed my gastroparesis about ten years ago and I have gone to him ever since. Since there is no cure for gp he never gives up on me and is always trying to find something out there to help me. He is the best."
"I have been with Dr. Jacobs for nearly 30 years! He has saved my life, at least 4 times, I do not believe you could find anyone in his field that is more knowledgable, thorough or better with his patients."
"Dr Crane is the best. He’s been my Dr for 9 years and I will use him as long as I live close by. He tells me all the facts and is very nice and professional. And very thorough."
"Dr. Jacob recently performed his fifth colonoscopy on me. I have used his services for more than 20 years. The polyps he removed over the years were prevented from becoming cancerous, and I'm convinced a little discomfort every five years contributed to my longevity. Needless to say I hardily recommend his professionalism, and skills."
"I've been going to Indianapolis Gastroenterology for over 35 years. Dr. Cheng has been my physician for about 10 years. He's very knowledgeable and professional. I've had multiple dialations, scopes and Colonoscopys. All have gone very smoothly. I have complete trust in his abilities. I would recommend him very highly."
"This was a great experience. The doctor was patient, kind and very informative. He was not In a hurry to get us out of the exam room. Then Did not hesitate to make a referral to IU, because he felt this would be a better course of action."
"Dr Cheng is a very kind doctor. I have seen him for many years he is always on top of of my health conditions & explains everything to me where I can understand. I would recommend him to any family member or friend. All his staff have always been kind & respectful"
"Dr Cheng and everyone at Indy Gastro treated me like a person, not just a "next.". Dr Cheng is professional and personal both and he knows his specialty very well."
"Very thorough, professional and friendly. I appreciated the time Dr Cheng took to make sure I was comfortable. The nurses, anesthesiologist and doctor were at their best."
"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."
