More information about some of the conditions we treat
Barrett’s esophagus – This represents pre-cancerous changes in the lining of the esophagus that develops in roughly 10% of patients with chronic acid reflux disease (chronic exposure to stomach acid). There is a small but increased chance that this could progress into esophageal cancer, which is why we may recommend an endoscopy screening, and to check patients with Barrett’s periodically.
Celiac disease – Also referred to as gluten-sensitive enteropathy. The condition results in damage to the lining of the small intestine from exposure of the intestinal lining to gluten, a protein that is found mostly in wheat, barley or rye. This can result in a variety of symptoms that can be gastrointestinal (diarrhea, bloating, weight loss) or result from nutritional deficiencies (anemia, bone disease, neurological).
Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis – These are the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. These both result in chronic, intermittent inflammation (with resulting symptoms including diarrhea, bleeding, abdominal pain) of various parts of the GI tract: ulcerative colitis involves only the colon, whereas Crohn’s disease may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Both of these disorders can potentially involve organs outside of the GI tract including the skin, liver, eyes, or joints to name a few.
Hernia (Hiatal Hernia) – This results when intra-abdominal contents (most commonly the stomach) protrudes through a defect in the diaphragm and into the chest. This is usually diagnosed incidentally and usually does not cause any symptoms, though there is an association with acid reflux disease.
Jaundice – This refers to a yellowing of the skin or eyes and usually indicates underlying liver disease.
Ulcers – This is damage of the superficial layers of the gastrointestinal tract resulting in injury penetrating to and exposing the deeper layers of tissue. It can involve any site along the GI tract, though most commonly involves the stomach or duodenum (first part of the small intestine) and referred to as peptic ulcer disease, and is most commonly due to H.pylori infection of the stomach or caused by use of medications such as NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory drugs) or aspirin. This can result in gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain among other symptoms.

I like their service and attention
A very good experience, it always is
Dr rude...so I left. Waited at least 45 minutes for appt.
They are very friendly
I highly recommend Dr. Son Do. He is incredibly smart, knowledgeable, and thorough. He took the time to answer all my questions in detail and provided the right treatment, which made me feel much better. Dr. Do never rushed our appointment and spent ample time listening to my concerns. He also followed up promptly with my blood test results, ensuring I was always kept informed.His medical assistant is equally helpful, managing referrals and scheduling efficiently. I am very grateful for their outstanding care and professionalism!
Good
Overall excellent
Everyone was pleasant and professional
All staff were welcoming, efficient and professional in their jobs.
I felt rushed, not really listened to. Dr. Typed while I talked, misunderstood much when read back and needed to correct. I pretty much said what I thought was happening and that meant I needed to get an endoscopy, period, there is no other less invasive way to see if there is a hiatal hernia, no option for help except surgery. Quickly put in front of form to sign off on risks of procedure, questions/concerns made light of. Upon reading visit summary half the examination stating what was done, was not at all the case. Backing out the door as fast as possible, while I'm still asking questions.
Doctor was not very helpful with trying to help me.
Very profesionals all team an doctor

I would rate this provider and all staff to be excellent; they all were extremely friendly and helpful.
Dr Do is great. He's a specialist so I only see him when lab results indicate, but every visit he's been all the positive traits we look for in a medical provider.
I could not expect any more from the provider, medical assistants, nursing and reception. Thank you all for your maintainancd of world class and top of the line medical and ethical standads.
