Office Visit
Apr 24 2024
"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."
"One of the best doctors I have ever had. Spends time to make sure he understands what’s going on and always has the right solution. Wouldn’t trust anyone else."
"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. Everyone made an unpleasant but necessary procedure as comfortable as possible. Thank to everyone, the CRNA, Nena , procedure RN , the tech , and of course Dr Thyssen. The care received was excellent and compassionate . You are treated with dignity and kindness throughout your stay . Excellent, well organized and efficient, most importantly exemplary patient care."
"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!"
"Dr Thyssen is a great doctor and very knowledgeable. His bedside manner is impeccable and he knows how to put his patients at ease. He explains things where you can understand with no problem. I had to wait to see him so that is why I didn't give 5 stars."
"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."
"Everyone was professional… I have never had the doctor call me the day after and asked me if everything was OK. I have had many procedures and this clearly is the best customer service ever. thank you"
"Dr. Singh tried very hard to get an appointment open for me to to the severity of pain I was experiencing. I was exceptionally happy with her and the office staff. I’d recommend Dr. Singh to my friends & family."
"The facility is the best. The nurses and other staff were caring and so nice to me. Everyone was very professional. I had my colonoscopy...it was over before I knew it!! Dr. Sighn is the very best!"
"Dr Weinstock is so comfortable to be with. Very caring. He made it so easy to get the help I need. Clear instructions. Couldn't have been happier with meeting him and with my visit"
"The staff and my doctor are terrific! I always experience anxiety during any medical exam but the staff and doctor were able to calm me down and made me feel comfortable. If I had the funds I would had tiped 50% of the total proceedure. 🙂 Please excuse my grammar and spelling.😄"
"These people are hard to beat in the St. Louis area. Everybody’s professional, but not stiff. Very nice but also very genuine, and fact based when you’re having a conversation about your illness or ailment. They will make you feel better."
"I’m very happy to be under the care of Doctor Weinstock for over 17 years , he has helped me tremendously to treat my Crohn’s disease , especially the challenging times when my disease becomes active to bring it to remission. He tries every thing and never gives up. He is one of the best Gi specialist."
"Dr. Weinstock Was the first in over 10 years to be able to help me. Saw a PA first and talked to him and he was able to reaffirm I was with the correct Dr to figure it out. The whole experience so far has been life changing."
"Office staff are very friendly and helpful. Met my new doctor today, Dr. Benjamin Root, and I like his demeanor and interest in getting to the main cause of my issues. Taking a systematic approach to rule various issues. I’d recommend this place to anyone."
"The lady who set my appointment stayed on the job and got me in within a week through a cancellation. Dr Banargee was knowledgeable and friendly and took time to talk about his “40-60” life plan. The scheduling lady was nice and apologized for making me wait. Overall, it was an extremely comfortable visit!"
"Colonoscopies are not something you look forward to. However, if you have to have one, this is the place to go. First of all, great location. Everyone is very caring there and Super nice. Dr. Weinstock performed mine. He explained everything, asked if I had questions, as did the rest if his staff. The procedure went very quickly."
"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. I would never say I look Forward to a colonoscopy but she and her practice provide excellent care and follow-up."
"Staff were super friendly, I barely had to wait, and Dr. Weinstock was very thorough and knowledgeable! I will definitely be returning, and I am very excited to unravel the bizarre symptoms I have that no one has been able to help me with!"
"Outstanding professionals. Like a well oiled machine everyone working together. Very friendly and knowledgeable. As a group they put you at ease and get the job done. Thank you!"
"Dr thyssen and his support staff were very professional in letting me know the process in advance. The staff were very friendly and interested on my well being and comfort."
"I always go early to fill out paperwork. And the service is always excellent. Very friendly and helpful people. I was able to get back to see the Dr. early and didn’t have to wait long. I enjoy going to see him. He is very nice and is thorough with his questions. I feel very comfortable each year."
"Dr. Weinstock and his staff were terrific as they quickly answered questions before the procedure, care during procedure, and follow up after the procedure."
"With a family history of colon cancer, I have been to see Dr. Thyssen regularly, since I was in my 40s. He has an amazing bedside manner and his post op report is given along with photos to clearly and quickly inform patients of results. I have recommended him to quite a few friends. My whole family agrees!"
"Staff always nice and organized. Didn’t have to wait long for the procedure to take place. Everything was explained well prior to the procedure and Dr.Weinstock explained my results thoroughly. Very satisfied with the care I received."
"I had no problems at this place back Thursday February 22nd. All of the employees were very nice. They kept apologizing for the delay on the Office visit. Dr. Erik Thyssen was very nice. Had to do blood work and I had no problem with that in the office."
"great highly qualified staff. Feel safely taken care of. No waiting to be taken care of. Dr Weinstock Was very pleasant and professional. Before departure He gives immediate Feedback to patients . Very Reassuring."
"An excellent first encounter with Dr Thyssen. He was thorough and impressive with his thoughts, and we mutually forged my path forward under his care."
"Everyone from the front desk to the nurse to Dr. Thyssen were friendly, polite and welcoming us on our first visit to this office. Dr. Thyssen asked questions and listened to our answers. 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."
"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."
"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!"
"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 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 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 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 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"
"Always amazed at how all of you over there turn what’s considered an awful ordeal into a friendly, informative, efficient -and yes, astoundingly, an overall pleasant experience! You’re magicians!"
"I think Dr. Weinstock does his absolute best to take care of those of us who have some serious gut issues. I intend to stay with his practice. I find him knowledgeable and straight to the point."

"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"
"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."
"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."

"All personnel from office staff to nurses to technicians were nice and helpful. Nice facility even though it’s an hour from our house. Dr Weinstock is especially caring and competent."
"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.."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"Dr Singh and Niki plus all the staff are amazing. They are very nice, professional and care. Do not out off getting your colon or stomach problems taken care of."

"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!"

"This practice is so professional and efficient. I was in and out in less than 90 minutes. Every person I came into contact with was friendly and caring. I can highly recommend this practice for all your colonoscopy needs."
"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."
"I have had intestinal issues for Years and Dr Wienstock is the first doctor who has helped resolve the problem. He was God sent. He always takes as much time as I need. He listens to my concerns and will adjust my treatments accordingly. Staff and nurses are friendly and helpful."

Friendly, answered nervous questions more than once and did it with a smile, the folks behind the scene s helped me to be relaxed with providing me information and answered my questions. They laughed at my corny jokes they have heard many times I’m sure. Made a serous procedure with many risks involved easy to go through. Good job Team Root."

"Dr Root and his team were willing to inform me of details, and answered my questions patiently, and followed up on question they needed to check on with other records. A good experience overall A+."
"Dr Weinstock is the consummate professional. His curiosity allows him flexibility in working 'outside the box' - helping heal those of us who had almost lost hope and hanging in with us until he finds solutions. We all can use a doctor like that, and in Dr Weinstock we have one. I am incredibly grateful that he has my back."
"Dr Fern is very thorough, he is patience and explains so that I understood what was wrong and best way to treat. I trust him. Great patient manner!!!"
"Dr. Banerjee , everyone was friendly each knew what their job was . I felt very at ease with everything. Dr. Banerjee even looked farther to make sure he he didn't miss anything !"
"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Dr. Thyssen was thorough and made sure I understood everything. Dr. Thyssen called me the next day to give me the results of my bloodwork."
"I had a great visit. As a first time patient, I was onboarded very quickly (it helps to thoroughly fill out the online intake form) and spent minimal time in the waiting room. Dr. Singh was fantastic and had great bedside manner."
"Medical care was punctual and of the highest quality. The office functioned smoothly in making an appointment and during check-in. Dr. Weinstock is an outstanding gastroenterologist and provided exemplary medical care."
"I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Singh. Her office was able to accommodate me for an urgent issue to be seen within 24 hours. 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."
"The Doctor and his staff all worked very well together to make my procedure as pleasant an experience it could be. Highly competent group, top to bottom."
"Dr. Root has been such a help to me. 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."
"Dr Fern and his entire staff from the front desk girls to all of his staff in the surgical center were outstanding. They were all very friendly and professional. Dr Fern was outstanding as well and explained the results of my procedure and answered all of my questions. Would absolutely recommend Dr Fern he is terrific."
"Megan, Emily, Dominic and the nurse anesthesiologist were all awesome and took wonderful care of me. Don't like colonoscopys but they made it as nice as it gets."
"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."

"Dr. Erik Thyssen is absolutely the most caring, compassionate doctor I ever had. I LOVE HIM, the staff there was EXCELLENT. Thank you all for a very pleasant experience."
"I just returned from a colonoscopy with Dr. Singh. This is the second procedure I have had with her and I could not be more impressed with the level of care given by her, the nurses, the CNA and the nurse anesthesiologist. From the pre-registration procedure to check-in to pre-test and post procedure, it was efficient and as pleasant as a colonoscopy can be. Every step explained along the way by friendly and professional health care providers. Highly recommend."
"Dr Thyssen and the surgical staff from AEC were very efficient and worked together as a very pleasant team. I would have given 5 stars except my phone call to SIG a week before the colonoscopy almost made me cancel. I called SIG to get a better clarification as to the pre-colonosocpy diet. Whoever I talked to seemingly got annoyed with me asking questions and I was told to stick to no seeds or I they wouldn't be able to do the procedure. How does anyone know they consider bananas to have seeds unless it's clearly stated. I found a diet sheet online from a credible university and followed that. Please include a diet sheet for patients to follow - people's interpretation of peel and and seeds vary. AEC didn't call me until the day before the case to pre-register me. For those two items I'm knocking off a star but the surgical team were the best."
"Dr. Weinstock kept me informed, both before and after my procedure. Letting me know what to expect prior and talking through the results afterward, including what would be next."
"Very efficient office. From making appointment to check in to wheelchair ride out Nurses very nice! and attentive. Dr Singh very courteous answered questions! All staff very good!!! 10 stars if I could!!"
"I never feel rushed in my appointments like I do at some of my other doctors. He is very thorough and you can tell he cares about his patients. 5 stars always!"
"Very kind, nice and professional. Took time to explain procedure beforehand and results afterward. I did not feel like just another patient. Personal touch. Including all the staff at this facility."
"It's like the old saying [ good bedside manner] he listens to what you have to say. Very professional he explains everything that has to say about your case would recommend him to all the people that I know he's a very good doctor"
"Dr. Singh thoroughly explained what was involved with my procedures including risks and potential complications. She was very easy to talk to about my concerns. Procedures were performed effectively and efficiently without any problems. I am very satisfied an would recommend her for her expertise."
"Clinical excellence + compassion and genuine caring wrapped up into one human being is the best way I can describe Dr. Thyssen. He is a skilled GI doc who listens, asks questions and works with you to make sure you are getting great care. I am a nurse and really picky about the doctors I choose for myself and my family - Dr. Thyssen is fabulous!"
"Doctor Root was Awesome today. I was shooting on see my mom & sisters doctor Aman Singh but very busy. I chose first available and It worked out. Dr Root is a young guy to keep an eye on me for the rest of my life. Things happen for reasons. Since I couldn’t see Dr Singh I got Dr Benjamin Root and I’m happy. He will be my doctor thank you."
"Thank you to the entire team at Specialists in GI! Very thoughtful and compassionate people. The entire process was well ran and each person was friendly and answered questions with care. Also, the facility was extremely clean and looked well cared for. I will recommend to anyone I know."
"He performed my upper endoscopy and made the whole process quick, easy, painless and free from the scaries. His whole team has been wonderful and so helpful."
"Everything from the check-in to discharge was pleasant and professional. I think that Dr Singh is wonderful. I have seen her several times. I would especially like to say that Sarah, Dominic, and Dominic who cared for me before and after my procedure were wonderful.."
"Everyone on the staff is dedicated to making sure the patient is cared for from the moment they walk in the door until the moment they are taken to their car by wheelchair. Dr. Thyssen is one of the best doctors in St. Louis and I am in good hands with him."
"Outstanding performance of the colonoscopy. Dr. Thyssen showed care, compassion and competence. He is supported by an excellent , experienced staff throughout the process."
"Really nice staff, very helpful, professional and caring. I like things to move fast and they were on it. Doctor Fern is friendly, also professional but great personality and bed side manner. Highly recommend for you gastro needs."
"I was very nervous but the staff (especially Emily ,Tonya and your anesthesiologist ) put me at ease as soon as I got there ! Dr Fern was great very personable and professional. He made me feel relaxed and before I knew it I was finished Thank you !!"
"This facility runs like clockwork. The staff is friendly and professional. They make sure you are comfortable throughout and make you feel cared for."
"When Tonya first took me back for my colonoscopy, I was concerned. She was not friendly or accommodating. She was harsh, hurried, and appeared very annoyed that I was there. After that introduction, the people got much better. The rest of the staff were friendly and nice. Dr Thyssen is always pleasant and I do have faith in his procedures."
"Dr Thyssen and everyone one his staff we welcoming and caring. I got lots of assurances and pats to comfort me. The Dr and all his staff are proficient and professional."
"I LOVE Dr. Fern!! He is always happy, ready to listen and willing to help figure out my gastrointestinal issues and NOT ready to just medicate. I never feel rushed and know I can talk about anything. I always know when I walk out of his office that there is hope and my condition will get better! He is, by far, my favorite doctor."
"Dr. Weinstock and staff are wonderful. I’ve been going to this office for years, and I’ve never had a bad experience. Everyone is kind, helpful and professional."
"Love Doctor Singh! Very sweet and attentive. Office staff is meh but as I doctor I love her along with her PA Jennifer. They are very responsive via email concerns."
"Had a colonoscopy today, never pleasant but Dr.Singh made me feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend Dr Singh and her facility (SIG) for any proceedures needed. Everyone there was great and makes you feel at ease from start to finish."
"Entire staff, from front desk to nurses to doctor, was friendly, welcoming, and professional. 10/10 would have a colonoscopy again. Also, it said I could add photos, but why would I do that y'all don't need to see my colonoscopy pictures"
"Dr Singh is an excellent physician. She spends time with her patients - explaining the procedure before hand and the results afterwards. I have been seeing her for ten or more years and will continue being her patient."
"Dr.Singh is so awesome! I've been going to her for a long time. The whole staff was just wonderful.I would recommend Dr. Singh to anyone. She's great!"
"I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Singh and her team during my colonoscopy procedure. Everyone was so warm and attentive to my needs. I had a wonderful experience for a colonoscopy. I have highly recommended Dr. Singh and her team."
"Staff was excellent. Doctor Root was the most beautiful person I had ever seen, in person, in my life. Dr. Root was also an excellent doctor. Thanks to the whole staff very professional with good service."
"He was very nice and professional telling somebody’s about their condition and he got very professional staff they was very nice to me and concerned about my health"
"Great bedside manner. Made me feel comfortable prior to the procedure. Went over the results when finished and was very thorough in his explanation. The entire staff at the Endoscopy Center was great.."

"Dr Fern and his staff are absolutely excellent. Makes you feel right at home. With people like that it makes it not so bad to go to the hospital to have anything done"
"My colonoscopy experience by with Dr Fern and his support staff is the absolute best I’ve had for any medical event in my nearing 86 years! The professionalism, courtesy and efficiency by the entire staff is truly world class! I offer my strongest recommendation for this group!!"
"Well the nursing staff is fabulous the place is welcoming and my doctor was wonderful informative the anesthesiologist was wonderful it was just a great place to go when you have to do this you're in and out they move quickly but not too quickly it's definitely a five star"
"Dr Singh did 2 procedures that were non-eventful, just as I like them. The team that she has working with her were both caring and efficient. They joined me in singing “Goodnight Sweetheart” as I was going “out for the count “. Lol. After the procedure Dr Singh came to speak to my husband and I to explain what she found, and what she did. I appreciate her candor and willingness to discuss. I also like that when I left there, I had all the info, plus pictures of areas that she either removed polyps or did biopsies. Many Drs don’t provide that info immediately like her, and the other Drs in that practice do."
"Dr Root was extremely pleasant and had an awesome bedside manner. He was totally tuned into what I was saying and really made me feel secure with being under his care. The older doctors are passing on the torch to the newer young doctors. Congratulations Dr Root. Glad to be a patient under your care"
"Dr. Fern has been my & my wife's gastroenterologist for 15 years now; he's performed multiple colonoscopies for both of us. We've always found him competent and pleasant to deal with. His practice at SIG has always been efficient and well-managed. There's a good team of nurses and anesthesia specialists working with Dr. Fern in other words. Add in his support of the Colon Cancer Alliance and there's not much more one could ask for."
"Best care ever! Dr. Fern was so very kind, professional, and is an expert in his field and bedside manner. Registration, nursing staff, medical staff and anesthesiologists were the best ever too! They were very attentive, kind, professional and even fun to be with and put me at total ease. They did not miss a step. Procedure was without any complications and I was monitored and given time to recover. Dr. Fern came in within minutes with results and welcomed me to call with any followup concerns or questions. I was in and out in less than 1 hr for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. If I could give him a 10, I would."
"Very nice explanations of what's going on with you and different things to test and trying to fix. He don't treat you like you don't know anything very friendly and knowledge of what needs to be done. Very glad we got him as doctor to help my husband."
"The staff was warm and friendly. They were efficient and thorough. In addition, there was good communication regarding the procedure and the excellent care . Besides having a great demeanor, Dr Fern is professional, thorough and is an outstanding physician. He explains well and has his patients welfare on the top of his agenda. He is supported with a great cadre of anesthesiologists and wonderful nurses."
"I've been to this location several times over the past years. It's always been smoothly run from the moment you walk in the front door till the time you walk out the back door. Today was no different, everything ran completely on time and was a positive experience. I believe throughout my procedure I encountered at least nine employees who worked with me directly. One was just nicer than the next. I've worked in healthcare industry for years and I recognized the love of their job and the camaraderie that you can see and feel. Keep up the good work!"
"As usual, everything was perfect! From the sweet person who checked me in, Tonya who got me set up and was very patient, to everyone else including the two Ninja’s who skillfully wheeled me into my the room without one bump or hit, the Anesthesiologist, all the nurses and Dr. Fern who was amazing as always. You guys make getting a colonoscopy almost fun😜Thank you!!!! See you all in 5 years!"
"The whole process was very easy from start to finish. The staff was great, all very informative as was Dr Fern. Would not hesitate to recommend to any."
"Service was outstanding from the person at the desk to the nurses to the surgery assistants to the doctor. I could not have asked to be treated better!!"
"Been going to Dr Fern for many years,, the man has one of the best personalities in the world,,, the kind that puts u totally relaxed and confident,,, I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else,, if he ever retires,,, I wouldn’t want to be the next Dr tryn to fill his shoes—-Theres only one Dr Fern!"
"I've been a patient of Dr. Weinstock and S.I.G. for many years. I would be lost if I were told I had to find new Dr. Many of the staff have been there for many years, which I think speaks highly of the Drs. And P.A.s . The staff all get 5 stars as well! Best care anywhere ."
"The entire staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional! The procedure was painless. I would recommend them to everyone for gastrointestinal procedures and related treatments!"
"The entire staff was very very professional and friendly. Dr Weinstock went over my pictures with me and provided a copy. I love this medical office."
"Excellent job by the Doctor every time (my 4th procedure here), and love that this facility runs a right ship. Things occur efficiently and on time. 👍👌🏼👏🏻"
"I’ve had two procedures at other facilities and the level of care and friendliness of the staff here is completely unmatched. Everyone here is very courteous and professional and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. I will never go anywhere else, the atmosphere is just THAT good, truly!"
"This is one of the best run doctor's offices I've had the pleasure of visiting. The staff is friendly + knowledgeable, and it's clear that they have processes they're following, which creates an environment where you know exactly what to expect and how much it's going to cost. On top of that, Dr. Weinstock is top notch and has an excellent bedside manner. I've been struggling with GI symptoms and a lot of other crazy symptoms for a few years, and he listened carefully to everything I shared (in addition to collecting much of the information up front in a thorough intake questionnaire) and help me determine that I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). After doing a lot of research about MCAS, it's clear to me that I'm working with one of the best doctor's in the country and am insanely lucky that I found him this early into my journey. His protocol has helped me get a significant amount of symptom relief, and I'm optimistic that by digging into the root causes with another local STL doctor (Dr. Christian Wessling), I'll be on the road to healing. One other thing I love about this office is that you can get support between appointments using their patient portal, and their responses are thoughtful and prompt. All doctor's offices should take a lesson from this one on how to run their operations while providing excellent patient support! 👏👏👏"
"Dr. Weinstock was very friendly and professional! Phenomenal doctor! After my procedure, he explained his findings in terms that were easy to understand and answered all my questions! The nurses and staff at MoBap were also phenomenal! Couldn’t have asked for better care! Highly recommend Dr. Weinstock and Missouri Baptist Hospital!"
"Everyone extremely nice. Procedure scheduled for 8:30 - on the way home by 9:10 A.M. Like Dr. Weinstock very much - nice, friendly and kept me informed. Would recommend."
"The entire staff has an efficient process with a warm and inviting feel. They let you know exactly what is going to happen and are so friendly. They are compassionate, efficient, and professional."
"My upper and lower endoscopy went smoothly. Dr. Banerjee and his team are phenomenal. They have the grace to usher patients through what could be an embarrassing position (literally), and make everyone feel comfortable (and even share a great sense of humor). I’ve been a patient at this practice for years and couldn’t be happier, both with Dr. Banerjee and my previous doctor (retired). Thanks to the whole team. You guys are amazing!"
