Colon cancer, when discovered early, is highly treatable. Even if it spreads into nearby lymph nodes, surgical treatment followed by chemotherapy is highly successful. In the most difficult cases - when the cancer has metastasized to the liver, lungs, or other sites - treatment can prolong and add to one's quality of life.
Constipation is a condition in which a person has fewer than three bowel movements a week or has bowel movements with stools that are hard, dry, and small, making them painful or difficult to pass. People may feel bloated or have pain in their abdomen-the area between the chest and hips. Some people think they are constipated if they do not have a bowel movement every day.
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is any type of bleeding that starts in your GI tract, also called your digestive tract. GI bleeding is a symptom of a disease or condition, rather than a disease or condition itself. Every year, about 100,000 people in the United States go to the hospital for upper GI bleeding.
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, the most common disease of the liver. Inflammation disrupts your liver's ability to filter harmful substances from your body as well as make the proteins and substances that help the body to function properly. If the liver can not function appropriately, waste products can build up in your bloodstream.

Everyone there is wonderful from the front desk staff to the nurses and especially Dr. Bray. I have been to specialists for years to try to figure out what my condition is and how to manage it. And Dr. Bray is simply amazing at the depth of his knowledge and his wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend if you have any G.I. issues that you check this place out. Well worth every moment spent there and They really value not just you as a person but your time.

Dr. Vestal has been following me now for several years. She discovered I have an autoimmune condition that was causing liver issues. She has been very thorough and keeps close tabs on me. She very patient, takes time with me to discuss any questions I may have. I never feel rushed with her. She is absolutely awesome and I'm so thankful she is watching over me and taking such good care of me. She also follows my wife and she is also very thankful for Dr. Vestal!

Great experience. Very professional and very helpful. Had an endoscopy done and was in and out in 2 hours. Check in only took a few minutes. At the prior office visit, the entire visit fit perfectly in my lunch break and I was able to finish the work day after. Friendly staff, clean environment, all around a great office.

From the moment I checked in for my appointment, I was greater with kindness and helpfulness. I was even thanked for doing the e-sign in. The nurse who took my vitals was so nice and made me feel extremely at ease. My PA was absolutely incredible. He did not make me feel rushed. He explained everything in an easy way. He was personable and kind. The lady who took my blood was amazing.
I have really bad veins, and get anxious when getting blood drawn. She was very caring and actually got me in one stick. This was an overall special experience, especially for a stressful situation.

Had the privilege of seeing the PA Mr. Pope today. Dr Bray has been my physician since I was old enough to start having to deal with Digestive Health. But this young man certainly has been trained well and was very helpful very understanding and very patient with my explanations to the questions he ask. The practice is fortunate to have a young man that is so patient oriented.
The nurses it is hard to find the words express how wonderful they are. They are very detailed again and worked very hard to make sure all the information is properly retained. The young ladies who take care of you at the front desk are very pleasant and always very polite. Winston Salem and the surrounding communities are very fortunate to have such a wonderful Facility to take care of our health nights. Thank you all very much

Upon entering the facility which is exceptional clean and the staff is wonderful! Jennifer, my intake nurse put me right at ease and was professional, kind and simply the best! Paul, the anesthesiologist was kind and reassuring. Dr. Ramsay is an excellent physician, he checked in w/ me before the procedure to discuss and consults immediately afterwards. My husband and I are both patients of Dr. David B. Ramsay and we put our trust in him and the awesome staff!
