Southeast Valley Gastroenterology

I love the staff at this office! Everyone is so nice and professional, even the secretaries seem to care!
I had to come here when I was going through getting diagnosed with Celiacs. I see Jennifer Spohn for my checkups and Dr Patel for procedures. Again, everyone is just awesome and genuinely cares! I wish I lived closer, and that they could be my primary!

If you want the most unprofessional service in your life this is the place for you! I had a consultation and set up an appointment to have a colonoscopy. I purposely made it the week before I was to be out of town. I showed up for the procedure to find out they mistakenly made it for a week later. So when you haven’t eaten in a day and a half, you took off work and had to drink the most awful bowl prep solution you can imagine you might be a tad upset. They didn’t even apologize for my huge inconvenience. They are the most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. If I could give less than one star that would be their score. The doctors could care less and the staff could care even less! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING HERE UNLESS YOU WANT A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE!

Found the problems that others had missed. Was painless, fantastic, his office called to make sure I was okay the following day, and make sure I understood my diagnosis and treatment plan. I have since sent multiple people to him, all who have rave reviews. Who wants to have the kind of tests he has to perform? Nobody. But he possibly saved my life.
Dr. yatin Patel is definitely the GI Doc I will forever be grateful for!

It’s hit or miss. I’ve have a lot of procedures which have caused other complications.
I would not recommend them to anyone I like.
I’ve been around for 4 years on and off and have a family member who’s been scoped up and down with no positive diagnosis. It really saddens me. If you still have pain then you must have a mental issue… I’m at a loss.
I’m suspect of any dr’s who own their own surgery centers and pretty much refuse using the hospital down the street as it’s too dirty… really… maybe it is… or maybe don’t want to admit patients to the hospital???

My fiancé recommended SEVG after I was having some NEW stomach/​bowel movement issues. I met with the PA who was extremely thorough, took her time with me and had me schedule some follow up tests. Note — this was 2 years ago. I scheduled my tests and they found my gallbladder was inflamed and the culprit. Recommended several surgeons found one that I really liked. The procedure was quick and easy. For about 6 – 8 months it seemed to have solved the problem, but low and behold, the bowel movement probelms came back. I have had chronic constipation for well over 15 years and now after turning 50 was going in for my 4^th, yes 4^th colonoscopy (oh the joy). Anyway, my appt (9÷4÷15) was scheduled for 7:30 am and I was in and out by 9:30 am. Everyone was extremely nice, caring and funny. Upon awakening from the procedure, Dr. Patel told me that he had discovered the cause of my ongoing issues, my colon had 2 extra loops in and he could hardly get the scope to the end. I was SHOCKED… that it took 4 colonoscopies and 15 years for someone to finally find the problem. I mean, really what did those other 3 find when they looked — did they not reach the end? I couldn’t be happier with the procedure, the fact that a Dr. was actually able to locate the issue, and now I will be following up to get the issue corrected and hopefully after 15 years of suffering will be on the path to no more constipation.

I schd an appointment as a new patient, when i got there and was checking in the lady was extremely rude, i thought maybe she was having a bad day, but then i had to wait almost an hour because all of a sudden the dr was behing seeing patients, they finally called me back and after almost 20 more minutes waiting the Dr came in, trying to make a treatment plan for something and i was like, i haven’t even mention the reason for me to be here how is it that you are going to treat me, we talked for less then 5 mins and he prescribed medications and walked me to scheduling to make an appt, but i wasnt even done, really? 5 minutes, a treatment plan for something you dont even know i have? It was a waste of time, im not going back and definitely wouldn’t get a colonoscopy there… rude staff, unprofessional Doctors, and a total waste of time,
As a nurse that works with excellent doctors, i expect at least the same level of care but i got this instead, think about it before you go there

If you want to risk your life, then this is the place to go. It is a factory and they are trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible. I had four previous colonoscopies with a very capable doctor and left each procedure feeling fine with no complications. After moving to Arizona, I had a routine colonoscopy by Sandeep Patel and he came extremely close to killing me. He rushed through the procedure using a larger scope than necessary. I was released from the facility feeling extremely uncomfortable and upon returning home I was doubled over with extreme abdominal and shoulder pain. Within the hour I was in the emergency room bleeding internally. After a barrage of tests and copious amounts of pain medication, it was determined there were flaws with the colonoscopy and I would required two emergency surgeries and several blood transfusions. Five days later I was released from intensive care to spend 3 additional days in the private nursing area. This experience was a complete and total nightmare. It has been nearly two years now and 5 scars on my abdomen remind me of how incompetent some doctors are. Fear of my next colonoscopy has me searching for a competent surgeon who will use appropriate instruments and allows adequate time for his patients.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bracher’s for years. I’m done with this group of gastro doctors. Initially, I liked the staff and colonoscopy procedure process. Recently, the office staff and wait time has gotten horrible. I’m having stomach issues, and I booked an appointment with Dr. Bracher. I waited over 1 hour in the exam room, and ended up vomiting in the sink before a nurse finally came to my aid. Yet, the doctor didn’t come for another 15 minutes. Booking an appointment is a nightmare. Numerous times, I’ve been put on hold for 10 minutes or more. They asked me to return for a follow-​up visit, but when I called to confirm I was told my appointment was cancelled. By who? Then, I was put on hold for another 10 minutes, only to be told that they didn’t know, and the first available appointment was in two weeks. Really? Do not go here. They don’t care about their patients at all.

Been a patient there for many years. There staff is getting worst and worst with very little or nil customer service skills. Trying to get a message to the doctor is like going through a mine field… many different layers of rude staff asking the same questions and the doctor doesn’t call you back!!! Good heath care??? Questionable!!! Not a happy customer of SEVG… will be talking to my primary doc to stop referring patient to SEVG hereafter…=(Please understand there are some nice people that work there but the front office staff that greets you and takes calls, they all suck!!! and I am being nice!

I was so scared and nervous to have my colonoscopy done but everyone here made you feel very cared for. I had my procedure done with Dr. Amin and he was amazing. He’s so genuine and takes care of you really well. He answers all your questions and makes sure you are doing well even after the procedure. If I have to do this again, I know I will… I will definitely go here again. Great staff!

Don’t go here unless you are an insurance expert, and do medical insurance for a living. After receiving my final balance of over one thousand dollars, I found out from my insurance that I am «high risk», and my procedure would not be covered. Even though I asked before the procedure, it was NEVER brought to my attention that I was considered high risk. Had I known that before, I may not have had it done? Really surprising to see all these good reviews. i’ll be paying this off for awhile…

Had the best experience here within a doctors office these past 6 months! This was finally the first doctor office were i felt herd and comforted. I usually see Dr. Yaten patel but when i made the appt he was all booked so got scheduled with Jennifer Spohn. She was phenomenal! Very friendly and reminded me of my aunt in this field. I recommend her if dr patel is all booked. Thank you so much for helping me figure out whats wrong with my health!

I had an upper endoscopy done a few days ago, and was very nervous since it was the first time that I was going to be sedated in a doctor’s office. The only complaint I have is that my appointment was set for the afternoon and I ended up waiting 2.5 hours long, in which the receptionist had first said the doctors were an hour late (due to other appointments running over), but when I started checking in on what was taking so long after the second hour of wait, she said that they were 2 hours late. Um, really? Did she just plan to keep telling me by the hour what I already knew? I had to have a friend with me since the procedure requires an escort to drive you home afterwards, but we almost left, until conveniently a minute later, I was finally called. Ended up waiting 2.5 hours for a set appointment. Very frustrating start.
Dr. Mannish and the back end of the staff were much quicker, and were professional and nice, making sure I was comfortable at all times. The anesthesiologist and assistant were very patient and explained everything that was going to happen, and the staff in the recovery room were very kind and made sure my friend would be able to take care of me when I was leaving.
Would bump it up to 5 stars if the wait was not that long, and suggest that if they can predict it becoming a longer wait, to call the patient in advance to let them know, if possible. I have never seen so many frustrated patients waiting in one room.

If you are in need of an awesome GI doctor, look no further! Dr. Bracher is simply fantastic and so is the whole team. I was from CA and in very dire need of a GI doctor and as if the Heavens opened, I stumbled upon Dr. Bracher. The whole staff there has been just wonderful no matter if it was for scheduling a procedure or a simple appointment. Takes a little while for calls to be returned,(up to 24 hrs) but these days this isn’t so uncommon. I have yet to find anyone else in the medical field who listens the way Dr. Bracher does and he always makes sure all of my questions are answered. Definitely would recommend this facility and Dr. Bracher to anyone!

Dr. Patel is the best! Professional, knowledgeable, very personable. Great staff and colonoscopy outpatient center is outstanding. Everyone was so helpful and very nice. Would highly recommend Dr. Patel. In fact I already have.

The new address is 875 South Dobson Road Chandler AZ 85 224. On the south east corner of Pecos and Dobson.
Amazing Doctors and office staff, I highly recommend to family and friends! 5 MD’s 2 PA’s & 1 NP.
A++++++

Just had my colon scoped by Dr. Patel at SE Valley Gastroenterology. This guy made the Phoenix Magazine «Top Doctors» list this year, and was the only gastro south of Scottsdale on the list. The entire process was great. Very friendly, professional staff, relatively easy prep the night before, and completely painless procedure with a good briefing at the end to me and the Zombie Girl. Awesome doctor, awesome facility, great people all-​around. Brak’s coveted 5-​star recommendation! Get your rotorooter job done today, especially if you’re 50 or in a high-​risk group.
