— Birdeye Review of Providence Gastroenterology & Liver Associates"It is impossible to reach his staff. And they do not accept email. You will call and call then wait forever to talk to a clerk. I NEVER received pathology report from my colonoscopy but did receive a surprise bill from the CRNA for over $1200"
