"Dr. Root and his staff are very concerned about their patients. From the moment that they get you in the exam room, they are attentive and concerned about your health. Dr. Root takes the time to listen to you and talk to you about your condition. I am very grateful that my primary doctor referred me to see him. I feel like I am in good hands and that he is going to figure out what is going on with me and get me back to normal."
"I was very nervous about getting my colonoscopy but the minute I was greeted with the front office staff they made me feel like I was important, so professional but also caring. Now let’s talk about the nurses in the back and it was nothing less than amazing. Dr Root is absolutely amazing and his bedside manner is absolutely a 20 on a scale from 1-10 I am so grateful for all of them. Sorry for the long review but I want you to know all of the information."

"Dr. Root provided my 92-year-old dad the most thoughtful care and was so patient with our questions and concerns. We now have a good treatment plan in place, and my dad and I feel so relieved after fruitless visits to other doctors. In addition, Roup was wonderful and kind during the pre exam process. Finally, both the check-in staff and Alivia in scheduling made those processes effortless. Honestly one of my best experiences overall with a doctor’s appointment."

I appreciate the care and effort given to make everything comfortable for me. I saw the same care and genuineness with other patients I observed. This is a great team of medical professionals making a difference in the care of their patients. I hope the staff realizes that what they do and how they do it, has a great impact on people lives. It may be just a job to some, but every day working with people is an opportunity to help and serve, and that's what they do. Good hearts doing great things."

The only thing I didn’t like is the prep solution you have to drink, I did ask for alternative prep medication to take but she doesn’t have any. I heard there’s a pill you can take with the same results for prepping prior to the procedure. Plus that the solution was so expensive even with a discount. My insurance doesn’t cover it at all, and for being diabetic the solution was too sweet!"

They are so efficient there…not only did they call me a couple of days before letting me know she had surgery scheduled and might be running late the day of my appointment (and that they’d call me the day of to let me know exactly what to expect), but I also walked directly out of her exam room and into the lab to get my blood drawn.

"I got excellent service at Dr Singh’s office. From the very personable and helpful lady at the check in desk, to meeting with Dr Singh. She took her time with me and asked a lot of questions since I was new. She was informative and very pleasant. The only draw back I ever suffered was the fact that it took me two and a half months to ever get an appointment with her. I’m going to assume that’s because she is so good that she is in high demand. I really liked her so am glad I waited."

"Hi Dr. Weinstock, thank you again. I had been meaning to tell you all this time, thank you for the Amitriptyline and giving me back my life, life just has been so busy and before you know it 3 years passes by. My constant nausea started in July of 2020, and I started Amitriptyline in Feb 2021 and by April 2021 I felt the nausea get better and better. I was able to go do travel nursing and go back to nurse practitioner school, which I had to step out this semester for spine surgery, but I would have never been able to do any of that as sick as I was, so thank you for listening and prescribing me the Amitriptyline. I mentioned it to another girl with the same symptoms as me, on a functional dyspepsia facebook support group, and the Amitriptyline took her constant nausea away also, and she thanks me all the time for sharing my experience with her. Here's to almost 3 years no constant nausea!"

"Dr Singh came so highly recommended by so many people that I met her for the first time in the prep room for my colonoscopy. She was so nice and made me feel at ease. Everyone was so nice and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The nurse even gave me heated blankets to keep me warm. After the procedure Dr. Singh went over everything with me with pictures and explanations of what she found etc. I will definitely refer Dr Singh to my family and friends."
"Dr.Root and his crew are amazing!!! They make you feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation(colonoscopy) and answer all your questions without rushing you! They are all true professionals. From the receptionists up front to the Dr. and staff in the back!"
"First visit with Dr Thyssen after many years with another doctor at SIG. I was very pleased with his thoroughness and style and look forward to future dealings with him!"
"This is my third procedure over the years at the center. I am very satisfied with the office, facility and especially Dr Thyssen. Dr Thyssen is an excellent physician.

"The SIG staff is very concerned about your health and makes it a point to make sure that you get the best and fastest care possible. Everyone from the receptionist to the Physicians Assistant to the Physician is takes time to listen and really discuss whatever issues bother you. They are 100% involved in your care and the concern they show is admirable. I would suggest SIG to anyone with gastric issues."
"I am very impressed with Dr Banerjee and his staff. I had a very challenging reason to need Dr Banerjee to make a diagnosis. After weeks of confusion consulting by other doctors Dr Banerjee listened for 15 minutes and gave a plan for concise diagnosis. Luckily he is young enough that I can check off no other doc needed from his field of practice. Definitely 5 star."

"Always a pleasure to meet with Dr. Singh, despite the meetings can be for the not-most-pleasant reasons. She gives plenty of time to listen to your concerns and devise a plan of action.

After his examination and further conversation he gave me recommendations for ongoing care. By the time I checked out he'd already had his notes prepared and printed. I found Dr. Thyssen to be engaged in getting to know me as a new patient and an extremely pleasant conversationalist. It was an excellent start to what will be an ongoing relationship with him as my GI doctor."
"I have finally found the BEST of the BEST. I dilly dolled around on the IL side and I felt like I was only scheduled for the insurance money. I took myself to MoBap and was lucky enough to get the care I So needed. Malnutrition, muscle waste and the condition my body was in, was absolutely horrible and thought I was going to lose my colon. They listened to my story, took immediate means of treatment and I just recently had a follow up procedure with wonderful results. I would travel the world to follow Dr. Singh-SHE IS AMAZING"
"Good meeting answered several questions 1st time meeting crazy it took him a few minutes to find when was the last time I had these things done. His staff very nice. So now I just gotta follow the directions"
"Well organized practice. I was seen on time. Dr Weinstock did not rush through the visit. He was very thorough and as a result I have a comprehensive plan that is promising to help me with my diagnosis. Highly recommend this practice and physician."
"Thank you for taking such good care of me and my husband! Your business runs like a fine oiled machine. From the front desk to the wheel chair ride to car after procedure every single staff member was fabulous! Dr. B was great too but he couldn’t do his job so great without that entire team he has working for him!"
"Dr. Weinstock gave me a diagnosis after 3 years of not having answers. Within several months I made tremendous progress. If you think you have MCAS I truly cannot recomend him enough. He has done so much research and is a pioneer of the field. He is a great listener and makes sure you have everything you could need. He has personally made a difference in my life and i am so grateful!"
"Dr. Singh is fantastic. She’s intuitive, caring , thorough and honest with her assessment. She has steered me in the right direction and I will always be grateful. She is one awesome physician!"
"Friendly, professional staff. Everyone made me feel welcome and as a result put me at ease. The procedure went quickly and there was no discomfort. Everyone seemed concerned with my wellbeing. I would definitely recommend Dr Weinstock and his team."
"I wish we could clone Dr. Weinstock and place him everywhere. He and his staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Compassionate, trustworthy and clearly experienced. It is an 8 hour drive for me personally and worth every minute. Thank you."
"I doubt anyone could be as worried about having their 1st colonoscopy as I was, but I felt comfortable having a female doctor. Dr. Singh was caring and put me ease. Front desk staff were friendly. Sarah was my nurse and she was outstanding. Best IV skills that I've ever experienced and she too, put my nerves to ease. Wonderful bedside manner. Nurse anesthetist (Bruce or Brent?) was also very caring and comforting. I'm so glad to have this over with. Thr anticipation was much worse than the colonoscopy itself. Hope my review can help calm anxiety and apprehension you may also be having."
"I was pleased with the service provided by the staff and Dr. Singh on Feb 12th, 2024. I had a Colonoscopy. Everything went fine. I received a follow up call to see how I was doing. Great professional service by all involved."
"I think Dr. Singh is a good doctor but it is usually difficult to get timely feedback from her. I had an ordeal with my medication a few weeks ago and called her office. After nearly a week I had to reach out to her again. Then after my visit with her last week, and after getting a blood draw, my results were worse than 3 months ago. I reached out to her and was told to start iron. If she looks at my records she could see that iron supplements do not help, that I might need an infusion instead. I worry that she might be overworked and not able to pay attention to patient history details."
"I think Dr root is great. Very straightforward and honest. He has done my procedure twice now and he's just the same this time as he was the first time. Bedside manners go a long way."
"I recently went in with stomach concerns, and Dr. Root explained what could be causing the issue and test that can be done. Was able to have one if the test done while in the office, already got the results and what to do next. Very happy with the care I received from the time I arrived, and afterwards."
"The staff is always friendly and highly professional. SIG is run like a well oiled machine. Dr. Weinstock is an Gastroenterologist that is unmatched in his field. Both my husband and I have been decades long loyal patients of Dr. Weinstock. I am never nervous during a procedure as long as Dr. Weinstock is in the room!"
"The prep this time was horrible…had to stay up all night for 7:30 appointment. Need to advise patients scheduling early appointments that this will happen. The facility and staff are fantastic…taking care of all needs calmly with a smile…they relax you before the procedure. Dr. Banerjee was very nice and checked up with me after procedure."
"The staff was friendly and comforting, Everything went according to schedule. Dr. Root was knowledgeable, professional, personable, and quickly gained my confidence."
"Dr. Singh was very professional, helpful and kind. The nurses were helpful and kind. They explained the procedure and helped me be more relaxed and confident."
"Everything went smooth. Everyone was very nice and professional. I just wish diagnosis was written so a lay person could understand without having to look up all the medical words."
"I think Dr root is great. Very straightforward and honest. He has done my procedure twice now and he's just the same this time as he was the first time. Bedside manners go a long way."
"Met Dr Singh today and I feel like I'm in good hands. She's very knowledgeable and has care and concerns for me, the patient to check everything out and get me back to good gut health. I recommend her to anyone who needs GI Dr. Her staff is so friendly and helpful."
"Dr Banerjee and staff was professional. Office was clean. Doctor discussed fibroscan results with me. Talked about plan of care and return visit. My visit did not feel rushed and Dr Banerjee was very easy to understand."
"Everything when so smoothly. The entire staff, from when I was entered the front door until I was wheeled out to the car was top notch professional...and friendly. As if I was the only patient there. Thank you"

"Dr. Weinstock is a consummate professional who has show great care and resolve in determining my health issue. I've just started seeing him as a specialist and have 100% confidence he will see me though. Highly recommend!"
"The five stars is not for Dr. Banerjee, but for the receptionist I drove in from Farmington and got lost in the secretaries or the receptionist. Got the book out and help me find my way to the office. They did a great job tell them thank you for me"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Thyssen since 2012. He truly is one of the best doctors I have ever known. He’s very compassionate toward his patients and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him to anyone who has gastrointestinal issues."
"Highly recommend!! Scheduling was great. I received my paperwork for prep instructions and the prep wasn't covered by insurance so pharmacy called Doctor to switch to something along the same 16 oz profile at which Dr. Weinstock Approved. Office staff was so delightful and made me feel so comfortable before procedure. Procedure went fabulous. Thank you"
"I had my first colonoscopy ever with Dr Root, and it went as smooth as possible. All the staff were excellent and took away any anxieties by explaining everything. I got a clean bill of health, and won't have to go through this for another ten years."
"All the personnel beginning at the front desk and ending in recovery were all friendly, efficient and professional. Every aspect of my procedure was explained throughly and I was made to feel very comfortable. Dr Singh was exceptional in every aspect of treatment."

"This is the second time I have seen Dr.Weinstock. The first time was an emergency visit and the second time was scheduled. I find he was very thorough and professional."
"This is a great facility and Dr. Root was wonderful. So were the nurses and staff. Not that I’d recommend a colonoscopy to anyone for the heck of it, but if you’ve got to get one done, go here."
"Staff is great! Friendly and empathetic. Procedure started fairly promptly. No problems afterwards from the procedure itself. Had problems with the prep that was prescribed Plenvu. So much harder than others to get down. Affects lasted throughout the day of the procedure which has never happened before. Requested.an alternative for the next time."
"Dr. Banerjee is a nice personable guy. Listens to what you’re saying. Seems genuinely interested in solving the issue at hand. Would highly recommend."
"Every member of this practice that I had the opportunity to interact with went out of their way to ensure I was as comfortable as possible. I would and will recommend Dr. Weinstock and his team."
"Efficient, well informed and aware of my condition. Test went well. Aftercare noted. Nurses hurried and task oriented, not much time for questions. I am a fall risk and wasn’t helped much to get on table. Asked questions while half on table, no side rails up. Finally after questions, answered, they helped get my legs up and side rails up. IV only 2 sticks. I felt nurses were rushed.."
"I have left multiple messages stating that if one has to have a colonoscopy, this is the place to have it done. He is kind and gentle, a rare treat these days."
"Dr Singh is great, she spent quite a bit of time with me. I felt both she and her staff were very knowledgeable and caring. Everyone I met in the office that day from the blood drawer, to the scheduler, to the MA and the doctor as well, were great. I got in for my appointment exactly on time move through the office very smoothly and felt like the doctor and her staff really cared about the issues I was having."
"First of all I was most appreciative that Dr Singh and her staff found a way to work me in to her schedule on such short notice (due to my symptoms). The office experience was great, from the front desk to lab work. Everyone was friendly and prompt. Dr Singh and her assistant took the appropriate amount of time with me and thoughtfully worked through a plan that will hopefully resolve my issues quickly and help me get back to a normal life. Very pleased."
"Super friendly reception. The nurses are very helpful and nice. Dr.Singh was thorough, beond nice, respectful and really seemed like she truly cares. She took the time and explained everything to me. I kind of wish my GP’s office would take some notes!"

"Well oiled machine and friendly staff. For an all the horror stories you hear, they made it pleasant. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Fern and staff!!❤️"
"My experience was very good. The timing was exceptional-didn’t have to wait long from time of check-in to procedure. Everyone of the staff was friendly and attentive. The only problem (which I didn’t know until my IV was being removed) was that the tourniquet was left on my arm. The nurse who removed it noticed it and made sure my arm and hand was ok. There was a light mark on my arm but it mustn’t have been too tight because I didn’t really feel it. I know she mentioned this to the nurse who put the IV in. I’m glad she made the person aware of it and I’m sure she will be more careful from now on. Thank you again."
"Dr. Singh is great. She has a great bedside manner and is an excellent physician. I don't know what more to say other than to highly recommend that you see her for your gastroenterology needs."
"The facility and staff here are excellent. I cannot recommend them any higher. I have seen Dr. Thyssen twice. He is always pleasant and very professional."
"Wow! I’ve been dealing with IBS for years. Other doctors’ solutions have ranged from stop worrying to stop eating broccoli. Finally a doctor who gets to the cause and not just dealing with symptoms. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to finally resolve this issue. Dr. Weinstock is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!"

"Waited a couple of months to see Dr. Root. Once there I was treated with respect and compassion. Dr. Root was absolutely fantastic. Wonderful bedside manner. He had reviewed my prior history and explained things about my past surgery that I was not informed of. My procedure was then booked 2 1/2 weeks out. He and his staff were professional and thorough. I finally have a Doctor that I trust completely."

Her diagnosis was accurate, she prepared me for what the next week would look like, and prescribed a medication, which helped almost immediately. While everything played out exactly as she said it would, she had also provided me with a way to reach her directly and the plan for next steps in case the issue did not resolve. She was professional, kind, and is exactly the type of doctor to whom I would send a friend without hesitation."
"Appt. Was to discuss and assess NAFLD. Dr. Thyssen is a very competent doctor, expert in his field. He explains everything calmly, honestly and thoroughly. His bedside manner is better than about 75% of the doctors I have seen over the years. I am confident in his ability to address my situation!"
"I’m a new patient of Dr. Thyssen. Our first appointment he listened, asked questions, ordered bloodwork immediately, scheduled me for testing, and mostly showed a great deal of compassion. It seemed that he cared. Also the staff so far is very professional and kind. I appreciate it very much! I hope he finds all the answers and that time proves he truly cares."

After years of frustration GI doctor visits where I felt the doctor did not care about my situation and prescribed the bare necessity to treat the pain and not the problem. After switching over to Dr. Root I have been met with such kindness and help with my problems. I feel that he is a doctor that really cares and spends time with his patients and listens to them and their needs. He’s gone above and beyond with helping me with my issues. Thanks Dr. Root!"

"This was not my first procedure with Dr Fern, he always makes you feel like family, the entire staff is amazing. I always feel safe, assured and confident when I am in their care. Endoscopy and colonoscopy are not pleasant but if I have to get these done, Dr Fern in Creve Coeur is where I go. I’ve had both there, several times over the years and he is simply the best."

"Registration was easy. Staff was professional and efficient, as was Dr. Fern. I had found him to be a very personable, caring, and skilled surgeon from my prior colonoscopy, so I chose him to perform today’s upper endoscopy. The procedure went well with no discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Fern to anyone requiring his services."
