Services
Did you know that the same medical procedure can be two to three times more expensive at one facility compared to another with no difference in quality? When you are paying out of pocket, cost matters. You can comparison shop to find high-quality outpatient procedures at a price that fits your budget.
Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates is a single specialty gastroenterology and hepatology (liver disease) practice serving the New Orleans area that includes 25 GI doctors with three office locations - New Orleans, Metairie and Westbank. These physicians, along with three additional local gastroenterologists, comprise the medical staff of its three affiliated endoscopy centers - MGA Gastrointestinal Diagnostic & Therapeutic Centers.
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that allows your health care provider to see the inside lining of the middle part of the GI tract, including portions of the small intestine. To treat persistent hemorrhoids, your doctor may perform hemorrhoid banding. During this procedure, the doctor will place a rubber band around the hemorrhoid to cut off the blood supply, causing it to wither.

Never got to see a doctor. The front counter staff was rude, unprofessional, and didn't seem to care about a new patient. I was told I needed to reschedule since I was having trouble emailing my insurance. I was unaware of the 15 minute time limit that I had. I was never told, and they would not budge. Not to mention I was not finished filling out the stack of papers that I was given.
It seemed like they couldnt wait for my unknown 15 minutes to be up. So I got upset, and unpolitely returned their clip board. This now has me bared from seeing any of the doctors associated with this group. Its ashame that these doctors maybe great, but their front desk staff is rude, and ugly to new patients. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Very smooth experience with my procedure. Not crowded reception area. No problems. It was a bit cold in the procedure room, but they warned me about that. When one of the nurses saw that I was shivering he got me a warm sheet/blanket, which did the trick. They left one external monitor sticker on me by accident, but it peeled right off, so not a big deal.
The only thing I didn't like is that I had to sign various consent forms for the anesthesiologist while I was in the bed about to undergo the procedure, even though I had signed a bunch of other forms in the office before being called into the procedure room. Some of the consent forms provided info about risks that I hadn't seen on the other forms. In the end, however, I would've done the procedure anyway, and it all worked out fine.

Dr. Kahn. worst person I have ever seen. Horrible bedside manor. I am 32 years old I never complain about my health, but I am young and fit and something hasn't been right. This man let me get sick for 6 months and told me nothing was wrong with me. Now I am dealing with major GI problems when these should have been addressed and taken seriously when I began having symptoms.
I feel bad for his nursing staff. They were amazing, so supportive and friendly. I love Oschner! Metro GI is NOT AFFILIATED! Dr. Kahn is a money hungry surgeon who isn't concerned about the "non emergent" cases because it doesn't like good on his score card.

Absolutely horrible customer service at the West Jeff location and in the call center. I've had to call multiple times to have someone call me back to re-schedule an appointment. It's been over a week since they've put in the request, I've been told they're "back up", backed up 40 hours.? In addition to the poor service, their interpersonal skills are just as bad.
It's been escalated to the scheduling manager, im hoping this doesn't require a 4th call on my part. Medical staff was great though. Y'all check the Yelp review-they're much more accurate- I have a feeling these reviews are fake.
