I was referred to Dr Barclay to remove a very large polyp (over 2 cms). My previous colonoscopies in both Calgary and Victoria were done using the air insufflation method. Dr Barclay uses the water infusion method and I found it to be smooth and very comfortable - highly recommend this method. This was also the first time I was awake for virtually the entire colonoscopy and vividly remember things I saw on the TV Monitor. I found Dr Barclay to be very knowledgeable and extremely polite. I would have no hesitation in recommending him

Dr. Jovanovic's assistant caused an extremely distressing day. She was absolutely no help at all and discounted my mental health struggles. She yelled at me and made me feel like an absolute inconvenience. I exposed some personal details and mental health struggles I deal with and she continued to yell and barrade me.

The place is convenient, the staff were fine. I've seen two GIs from here; one was ok, but not great and muffed my procedure; the other (Shah) was just rude and condescending. Saw him in the hospital and hope to never see him again. EVER.

Dr. Rioux is wonderful as well has his support team. I feel valued and listened to and he gives out options. I wouldn't recommend anyone need a GI doctor but if needed I would highly recommend Dr. R, I feel safe in his care.

Dr. Loomes and the staff at Pacific Digestive Health are absolutely fantastic. Dr. Loomes has been my gastroenterologist for nearly five years, and during that time I've been extremely satisfied with all aspects of my care. He is immensely knowledgeable and always up to date with the latest medical literature. Moreover, he is genuinely empathetic, and he has a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend Pacific Digestive Health and specifically Dr. Loomes.

Dr. Jovanovic is personable, and explained very well what my situation is. He leaves lots of room for patient choice, which I appreciate.

After my GP sent in a request for referral, this clinic sent a dismissive letter denying the referral. I have Celiac Disease and had wanted to see a specialist knowledgeable in autoimmune disorders who might be able to help me as I'm still having many health problems even after being strictly gluten free for 8 years. They dismissed me saying I am probably still ingesting gluten and only need to see a dietician.

I'm a very proactive person who doesn't want to continue to have serious health issues. I've studied CD, digestion, nutrition and immunity, gluten foods, cross contamination and more to try to heal. To be dismissed without verifying if I am following a strict diet or not is neglectful and irresponsible treatment of patients.

I am in crohns remission but Dr. Rioux is a great Doctor in follow up. I see him every year (or sooner if needed). I had a low grade fever for over a month and he very quickly ran a few tests and found that I was still in good health concerning my guts. I'm very satisfied with my care and concern from Dr. Rioux and would be happy to recommend him for your G.I. care.

By far the worst experience at a Doctors office. The guy doesn't respect other medical conditions such as PTSD and after being told he's really good and spends lots of time with his patients but I wouldn't know anything about that. He didn't bother to let me know how the procedure went and months down the road I'm left sitting in his office (well past the time they'd be charging me for a missed appointment) with not so much as an apology. So is he even there? How long am I to wait for Dr. Don't Care? So tired of being treated like a car payment!

I have recently taken my elderly Mother to see Dr. Rioux, once in July and today. We found Dr. Rioux to be a very caring, kind and thorough individual, explaining very carefully his findings and recommendations. Although not all good news, his positive approach made things easier to accept and understand. Thanks Dr. Rioux
