"Dr. Jordan is awesome! I have been to several gastronenterologists. I was having problems for months, and when I first saw him, he asked so many questions to gain insight that I knew I was with the right provider."
— Birdeye review for Dr. Clayton Jordan"Dr Hade is the most caring physician I have ever dealt with. He is simply outstanding, if other physicians gave their patients the time and effort that Dr Hade does the medical profession would be much better off"
— Vitals review for Dr. Joel Hade"It's clear this outfit is only interested in high volume procedures and little patient care... The doctor's bedside manner was rude and aggressive."
