Digestive Specialists

Shonda and the entire infusion center team at Clyo Rd has had my best interest in mind, guiding me to and through better health with compassion and direct communication that leaves no room for confusion. As someone with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease diagnosed since 2017, it’s easy to get discouraged as medical professionals essentially pass you along to the next person as it isn’t easy to manage GI distress and it affects the entire person, often including mood despite their best efforts. (Fun fact: Most of your serotonin is stored in your gut. It can be miserable, and usually is, to experience a flare up.) I don’t fault these folks aforementioned as the landscape of medicine in the Western world has changed drastically over the years and compassion fatigue is at an all time high while nurses, doctors, EMTs, medical reception, and then some have had to navigate unprecedented times and are often understaffed with little grace for what they might have on their personal plates, so to speak. These people are human and their kind voices go a long way despite frequently falling on ears that aren’t as willing to listen in the moment. (Spoiler: The patients are human, too, but I’ve seen and heard some ugly things inside and outside of exam rooms. I can’t gloss that over when it outweighs the Herculean efforts put forth by so many who have taken the Hippocratic oath.) While I have appreciated everyone I’ve come in contact with over the years, Shonda and Dawn in particular shine a bright light that can’t be ignored even if you tried. Their empathy knows no bounds. They’re exactly who you want on the other side of an IV being administered, phone calls made to help reschedule appointments when childcare is lost at the very last minute, and a warmth exuded when tragedy strikes at home and beyond that might have you feeling less than like yourself. It’s in the additional minutes they’ve left you to nap after you choose to spend your time with them in the midst of being a few weeks postpartum among those sleepless nights with a newborn. The words offering a comfort you didn’t know you needed so badly when you’re told you can put your phone down, lie back, let them take care of you, and close your eyes as they dim the lights in the infusion room so you can get even a handful of minutes of much needed rest. It’s also in the reminders that you’re doing your best, your stress must be managed, and firmly stating you can afford to move a little slower so you can tend to the metaphorical oxygen masks of others after you put on your own. I’m thankful for the last appointments I’ll have scheduled here as Premiere Health has acquired the center, to have that peace of mind I’m in good hands, and be wishing the entire staff well as they find themselves looking for employment elsewhere. They deserve the best. I wish that they didn’t have to navigate worrying about finding new places of work in an already tumultuous job market. Here’s to greener pastures. Onward and upward, y’all.

Was very satisfied with my office visit to Digestive Endoscopy Center. Ms. Williamson went over all the tests I had and explained everything. Very pleased with Ms. Williamson and how through she is. I would recommend Digestive Endoscopy Center to all my friends and family.

The staff at the Digestive center in Huber were very friendly and professional and made me feel at ease and comfortable. Kept me informed and made sure my questions were answered.
