"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!"

"Dr Root is fabulous. I had tried to have a colonoscopy the day before with another Dr who couldn’t perform it due to the difficulties with the prep prescribed. Dr Root got me in the next day, and while I was still having issues, he was able to do it, but it took him a bit longer. I so appreciate him staying with me to finish the procedure."
