FibroScan uses ultrasound waves to measure liver stiffness, which provides information on the amount of scarring and fat in the liver. As an added benefit, FibroScan is brief, painless, and a fraction of the cost of liver biopsy. We can now offer our patients with liver disease a safe, non-invasive, and cost effective way to assess the amount of fat in the liver and to watch for development of scarring.

All-star professionals at Gastroendology Harrisburg, PA. There is a polite reception at intake; the undeniable care of the nurses who prep clients for the procedures; the anesthesiologist who has a sweet dexterity towards patients when administering anesthesia; to Dr. Westra's kind and pleasant demeanor. I felt 1000% better leaving than I did when I arrived.

I had a procedure done in Harrisburg hospital and instead of a very rude very ignorant I would never use them again I talked to the managers ( SAM) and she told me if I don't like the place go elsewhere and get it done please do not use or help again last UPMC the manager for the GI department is very mean and nasty I reported to human resource and nothing never got done

I like the doctor, Dr. Reiprich (spelling?), but the scheduling staff are disorganized. They keep sending me letters stating I'm not following up with having a cat scan done but I had it done over a month ago. Then when I was in for a endoscopy the nurse took me into the room before it had been cleaned from the prior patient. I was very dissatisfied with that given the COVID issues.

So my experience at this office is always pleasant. They are all very friendly. I can talk to the nurses and the Doctor that I see Lisa Brienie ( probably incorrect spelling) is the best. She listens and does her best at figuring out my problems. I dealt with numerous doctors on the other side of the office. Dr. Westra is very pleasant, But I must say Dr. Brooks is the best. She had music playing so that helps to relax. And when everything was over she explained everything to me. I would highly recommend this office

Extremely frustrated upon arrival. After walking in the door I stood directly in front of a receptionist waiting to check in for my 3:30 appointment for 10 whole minutes before even saying hello or acknowledging my presence. Additionally after we finally did check in I was told it would be an hour or more wait! I'm sorry but this is not acceptable, it is not like a delay of that nature just crept up the second we walked in the door. Patients should be notified before leaving work or schedules early when a wait time of that duration is to be expected, unreal. If this we a private business and not a healthcare institution they would surely be out of business

Rude and condescending doctor who told me to loss weight I would feel better. Did a colonoscopy and an endoscopy and said everything was good. I asked about the pain in my side and he said I haven't the foggiest idea, told me to follow up on 3 months. First off I am on hormone blockers because of breast cancer so it is hard to lose weight, second bow about spending time with the patient instead of always sending them to your PA. I am now under the care of another practice and oh by the way she found 2 polyps you missed.

Healthcare worker who needed a procedure during covid-19 for a progressively worsening swallowing issue. I rescheduled due to being on active quarentine and nearly 2 months later was denied services citing some contrived DOH guidelines holding healthcare workers to a different pre-procedure standard than other patients? No symptoms, no contact with active cases, denied services after showing up with a driver and a re-arranged schedule.
No forehand warning that they wanted more recent testing. I will not be rescheduling with them. I love how we're frontline heroes until we need healthcare ourselves. Unorganized cowards.
