You know, I thought Doctor Choat was going to do me like all other doctors did play ring around the roses because they couldn't figure out what was causing me so much pain with my buttocks. But Doctor Choat never played with me he helped me I feel there is hope getting this under control. The great Dr Choat is kind, loving, caring, understanding. just an outstanding Doctor no matter your skin color and his staff especially Mrs Juliette. I definitely 1,000 % recommend Dr Choat. Dr Choat stand for : C aring : H earted : O f : A ll : T ime

Dr King is awesome, so sad that she is leaving this location. She is personable, gave thorough exam and follow through. I've been a Crohns patient for 9 years and she is the only one that actually gave me a physical hands on exam since my diagnosis. Not a Q/A hands off only visit like AGI.

Dr King saved my life after another Dr. nicked my colon while removing a few polyps By the time I got to meet her in the E.R. She had her work cut out for her. I had bleed out most of my volume of bleed in my body, she figured out what had happened and got right into her job. Replacing the blood just so she could get me into surgery to fix the others mistake. And when it came time for my husband to have his colon cancer taken care of, Dr Erin King was our go to doctor! We didn't need to look for anyone eles.
