What Our Patients Say

Dr. Lam was the best doctor I could have ever asked for as I went through an endoscopy. He greeted me as I was in pre-op and was very knowledgeable, calm, and comforting. I didn’t even wake up with a sore throat! Good man.

Charlie

Jacquelyn [Potesta] was fantastic for my endoscopy. As a young person who hasn’t experienced being under anesthesia, she did a fantastic job at being comforting, caring, and answering all questions that were brought to her. Really thankful that I had such a supportive group of professionals.

Charlie

So grateful to Dr. Lam and Susan. They have worked tirelessly to get me better and have continued to be very encouraging that we would get it straightened out. Susan has always answered my questions and been there with words of encouragement. I can’t thank them both enough.

Patient of Dr. Ionna

Until recently I was under the care with another gastroenterology practice. Since making the change to Cincinnati GI,  I feel like my care team is doing everything they can to determine what is going on with me.  I do not feel like a number or that I am being rushed out the door.
