Patient Reviews
Feb 07, 2020
I highly recommend Dr. Matthew Giefer for your gastro needs! I was a little nervous having to travel 3 hours to him with fear of no answers. He was wonderful with my 3 year old daughter. He took his time during our initial consultation/examination listening to my 10-month experience/concerns of gastro issues for my daughter. Not once did I feel like we were being rushed out. He gave diagnosis, advice, and instructions for post-visit in great detail and made sure I had no questions before leaving. He requested me contact him within 2 weeks via phone for a follow-up and he would remotely make any accommodations. Then follow-up with a 2-month visit in person. I've waited for this visit for a long time, did my physician research and I am forever grateful I chose the right one! Thank you healthgrades.com!
