"Dr Gibbs spent all the time I needed with me asking questions to discover the right path to improve and correct my acid reflux. She’s very knowledgeable and very personable. I would highly recommend her."

"Scott worked me into his very busy schedule right away and diagnosed me on the spot. He took the time to discuss all symptoms and followed up after I returned home. Highly and unequivocally recommend him!"
""Dr. Ellison is amazing. He is one of the few doctors in the US that’s familiar with Bile Acid Malabsorption. Even though all my tests were normal he looked more into the results and discovered my condition. He is committed to having his patients improve :)""
"Absolutely blown away by the service I received. Although it took weeks to receive a call, the staff was amazing. I requested to be put on the cancellation list and I was quickly moved up from a November appointment to the next day appointment. The front desk was AMAZING!! One lady in particular was so warm and welcoming the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out. She offered me many options. Her smile was the first impression and it set the tone for the whole appointment. Dr. Hansens nurse has gone above and beyond for me and listened to everything I had to say prior to the Dr. coming in. And Dr. Hansen came in ready to hear my concerns, provide me with solutions and get me on the right track. I would recommend this team over and over again!! Although my journey just started with Dr. Hansen I have gotten a little more peace of mind from one appointment."
"Everyone I have dealt with at GI Alliance is so nice and helpful… they don’t talk down to you and answer all questions…would highly recommend anyone to come here…"

"I love seeing Cheryl! She’s a great provider, answers all my questions and takes excellent care of me! I appreciate her professionalism and she’s there when I need her!"
"Dr. Sidney Vinson has been my doctor for Crohn’s Disease for at least 15 years. He is very knowledgeable and listens to me when I am having any issues. He worked with me until we found the drug that keeps my Crohn’s in check. I highly recommend Dr.Vinson to any one with GI issues."

"I have been a patient with Dr. Vinson for 10 years. He is the best doctor I have ever had. He listens, doesn't judge, and has my best interest at heart. His nurse, Haleigh, is an absolute delight and works extremely hard to get anything that is needed done. She always answers my questions and is happy to assist in anyway I need her. I actually look forward to seeing them and feel extremely lucky to have 2 such amazing people in charge of my care!!"
"Kevin O'Keefe is absolutely amazing! He saved my life, I was in such poor shape with my Ulcerative Colitis. I was referred to him from my primary care (I was in really bad shape after over a year with a gastroenterologist that didn't really hear/listen to me). He was fast to get me on meds and if that didn't work we quickly moved on to the next! He is kind, compassionate, and he really listens. I highly recommend!"
"In my opinion, this place is great. I usually come in once a month or every few months. My GI doctor (Dr. Moore) is very kind and has even called me a couple of times just to see if I was doing alright. The staff is always very friendly, and even made an effort to remember my name, which is sweet. The lab nurses are great too. I've had my blood drawn multiple times and it barely hurts. Always a very clean space as well. 5 stars for sure."
"Dr. Vinson is a wonderful doctor. He gives you all of the information that you need to know. He explains everything that is going to be done during treatment. His staff is also great and very nice."
"Dr. Ellison is as fine a physician as you can find. He’s highly intelligent, a clear communicator of complex medical information, has a comforting yet confident bedside manner and best of all is sincerely compassionate. The process is efficient and his team are true professionals. I can’t wait to do it again at 55!"
"Kr. O'Keefe did an amazing job and communicated well post procedure. The anesthesiologist did hurt my lips and throat while dealing with my breathing. That part has been very difficult. The colonoscopy part was without any issue."
"I had very good experiences so far with this doctor. He cares about others takes time to answer questions. I would highly recommend him to friends and family."
"The staff was efficient, but friendly. The anesthesiologist spoke to me before the procedure. He was informative and reassuring. Dr. Moore was also informative, efficient and professional. I felt safe. After the procedure Dr. Moore explained the results, asked me if I had questions (important) and explained the next step."
"Have been patient since 2014 and every appointment has been fantastic. Everyone always friendly and knowledgeable. Also Cheryl is one reason I'm still alive. My wife and I love her for what she's done for us. She's very special! Have been patient of this clinic for almost 10 years. The entire staff are always great. And Cheryl especially is fantastic in helping figure out and taking care of my medical problems. I trust her completely in helping me!"
"Dr. Paschal, is a great doctor and I've been extremely very pleased seeing Dr. Paschal. Claudia, his nurse is excellent and the check-in area staff are always very friendly."

"Excellent doctor and staff! Dr. Hanson is very thorough… he listens, he made me feel like he understands what I’m going through. He offered lots of solutions. His staff was very helpful in getting the medication’s and keeping in contact with me about how I was feeling."
"Dr. Ellison and his staff are awesome. Very knowledgeable, efficient, and great bedside manner. Keeps you informed and makes you feel at ease with any procedure. Would highly recommend Dr. Ellison, he is great at what he does."
"They were running behind, which is understandable, but the care received could not have been better. Dr Vinson and the nurses did a great job, Afterwards, they took time to fill us in on the details and results of the procedure."
"Everyone was very friendly and made me feel at ease on first visit. Doctor Marquis was thorough and attentive. Would recommend to anyone with GI issues."
"For my endoscopy everyone was extremely kind and attentive. The procedure was almost pleasant as the anesthetic produced a relaxing nap. Doctor Ellison gave me the results in a clear and helpful manner. Although the results weren't ideal I felt well taken care of."
"Dr. Ellison is a very competent & caring DR . The office staff are kind, caring people . A special thanks to Cassie Harris and his nurse Devon who , dispite my poor attitude, worked relentlessly to save my life . When my insurance wouldn't cover the cost of part of it , Dr Ellison volunteered to throw his own credit card on the table ! This makes the second time in 6 years that Dr. Jeff Ellison saved my life ! If you're suffering from ANY kind of GI issues , you CAN NOT do better than Jeff Ellison & staff at GI Alliance. GOD bless them all and ALL GLORY to the LORD JESUS CHRIST !"
"The moment I entered the office, I was welcomed. There were smiles on the faces and a willingness to help. When I was called to go to the exam room, the nurse again was friendly and understanding. Then the Doctor came in and discussed with me options & concerns. I’ll be seeing them for checkups regularly."
"Dr. Wardlaw took the time to explore all my symptoms, discuss possible causes, answered all my questions and came up with a pro-active plan that put my mind at ease. He is the best!"
"My husband has received excellent service from Dr.Ellison, his associates and staff ( good listener, compationate and good sense of humor, which make visits less stressful. Great job guys."
"I was a few minutes late. They were forgiving. The receptionist remembered me and was very kind. The wait was very short. Barely had time to fill out the short intake info form. The person who took my BP was kind and patient. Shelby Cochran,NP, was the kind, patient person who came and talked with me. I keep saying patient because I've had several nasty brain injuries (aneurysm burst in my brain, 11 big strokes, 5 brain surgeries, and more TIAs than you could shake a cat at), so I have difficulty with proper speech. Shelby has always been very caring and, yes, patient. She shows true concern for me and my health. I would/have recommended this business to others."
"This was my first visit. It was a very pleasant overall experience. The young lady who checked me in was very polite and professional. The nurse who escorted me to the exam room was very confident, which made me feel at ease. It was my initial consultation with NP Cheryl Walsh. She was very thorough about my health history and my concerns for my visit. She made certain that she had addressed my concerns and i understood her plan for my health care. By the end of my visit, I knew I had made the correct choice."
"GI Alliance has been successful in diagnosing and treating my microscopic colitis. My previous GI doctor was not willing to get to the bottom of my health problems, but just wanted to keep me on budesonide. GI Alliance ran multiple tests and found additional issues that they then were able to treat. The NP I now see takes time to carefully review my records and discuss any new issues that may arrive. They are easy to communicate with by phone or through the portal. I highly recommend GI Alliance and I will gladly continue to drive 3 hours to receive such good care."
"I was very well taken care of and listened to at this facility. The nurses and staff could not be nicer or more accommodating. I have been going there for years and will continue."
"I love GI Alliance of Arkansas! They have helped me to understand my issues. They have given me treatment of my issues that is easy to understand. I will be back because I have an issue that requires follow up testing and treatment."
"I can highly recommend Dr. Vinson. Beyond his procedural expertise (which I have undergone twice and had excellent experiences), he spent ample time with me during office visits and went above and beyond to explain the nuances of my situation to help arrive at an appropriate course of action. Obviously a talented doctor who cares for his patients with skill and compassion. Thank you."
"Dr Vinson has been my doctor for 10 years and he has been the best. I highly recommend him. He is competent, knowledgeable and concerned for his patients."
"My experience was great last week when I went in for a colonoscopy done by Dr. Vincent. The ladies that checked me in were so nice, his staff of nurses and the anesthesiologist were so kind and totally put me at ease before the procedure. Dr. Vincent came in before the procedure and visited with me. He did not act rushed, and he answered all of my questions, and was just very very nice. After my colonoscopy, the nurses took very good care of me. Dr. Vincent came in and told me what he saw and when I needed to come back He told me that he was sending everything to the pathology lab and they would send a report, but everything looked great and I had nothing to worry about. The much dreaded experience was actually very positive! Now the prep…. not so fun. But I did the prep with pills this time and it was much better for me than the liquid."
"Hello, another 5-star visit with Dr. Paschall. My last visit we talked about being healthy. He took time to give me information on different medications & how they work. I respect and trust him totally. I am thankful that he is my physician. 👍"
"I have been seeing Dr Moore for many years and find him very knowledgeable and current with all new procedures and pharmaceuticals regarding the treatment of my crohns, although I find the push for interveinious biologoicsls a bit concerning with consideration of my other health issues. I'm sure he will find the right treatment for me."
"Punctual, professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. My first meeting with Dr. Paschall after Dr, Thomas’ retirement, and I was confident that Dr. Thomas left me in good hands."
"My first appointment was with Dr. Ellison, he was thorough & spent time with me reviewing my Med records and the symptoms I’ve been having since Oct. 2022. He had a good bedside manner. I saw Chelsea, the Nurse Practitioner, for my follow up appointment, she was great. She was very thorough and her bedside manner was great. I’m optimistic for the 1st time in over a year that I might actually get healthy."
"Dr. Moore is the best! He actually takes the time to sit down and listen. He isn't hurried, takes notes and provides immediate feedback. You can't ask for a better doctor."
"The building is pristine and the personnel were kind and efficient. I felt like they cared about me by the tone of their voices, the answers to my questions, and their patience in explaining my issue."
"Dr. Ellison is a very competent & caring DR . The office staff are kind, caring people . Collectively, they move mountains for their patients . I had drifted on seas of incompetent medicine for months on end . Dr. Ellison , Megan and staff rescued me . This makes the second time in 6 years that Dr. Jeff Ellison saved my life ! If you're suffering from ANY kind of GI issues , you CAN NOT do better than Jeff Ellison & staff at GI ALLIANCE 🙏"
"Had a great experience seeing Dr. Wardlaw. I filled out my papers ahead of time and was taken back quickly upon arrival. Dr. Wardlaw gave me his full attention during our appointment and showed incredible patience when I was walking through my symptoms. It seemed like he was in no rush at all to get to the next appointment and would have spent all afternoon trying to figure out my ailment. Highly recommend"
"Staff was friendly, and helpful. Office was orderly and clean The medical staff was knowledgeable, ask questions, and listened. They set up appointments and made a plan Very happy with my appointment and medical team."
"I didn’t have to wait very long at all to see my doctor. He went over all of my current meds, recommended stopping one, and performed a very brief physical exam. I only see him annually for a preventive checkup, and the appointment went as expected."
"Dr Vinson took time to sit down and discuss my meds and what could be causing stomach issues. He did not make me feel rushed, seemed very compassionate and I truly liked him. In this day and time in healthcare this isn’t the norm. The office staff is is prompt, helpful, their system is great with communication msgs also. Really like GI Alliance after leaving Mercy."
"Happy to find a new GI dr that takes time to listen, review meds & history and has genuine concern. The staff communication, text reminders & friendliness was more than I could ask for. Thank you all!"
"Kevin O'Keefe is absolutely amazing! He saved my life, I was in such poor shape with my Ulcerative Colitis. I was referred to him from my primary care (I was in really bad shape after over a year with a gastroenterologist that didn't really hear/listen to me). He was fast to get me on meds and if that didn't work we quickly moved on to the next! It took a little time, but I'm so proud to say I have been symptom free for 3.5 years. He is kind, compassionate, and he really listens. I highly recommend!"
"The staff is always friendly, smiling and puts you at ease. Dr. Ellison is an awesome Dr. He’s been my Dr. from the start. His nurse was sweet and kind ! Stars ⭐️ across the board"
"It went great and Jeff Ellison is a kind, caring physician. I trust him totally. I just wish he still had privileges at Washington Regional Medical Center."
"Fabulous GI Dr.. & a fantastic bedside manner. He listens intently to your concerns & works with you to find the best possible treatment. I’m going to miss him but he’s deserving of his retirement. Well done, Dr Thomas!"
"Everyone was very helpful! No much of a wait time to see the Doctor!! DR. Wardlaw was very patient with explaining in detail about my situation! Thanks so very much!"
"Dr Scott Wardlaw is friendly, courteous, concerned about what your issue is , discussing a plan of action and your options. He has time for you. We are very happy and satisfied with him as our Doctor."
"Prompt, friendly, polite staff. Dr. Wardlaw listened, didn’t rush us, and discussed treatment plan with us. He is kind, attentive, very knowledgeable. I am so happy to have found him!"
"I visit with Dr. Scott Wardlaw about a problem that I am having. He listened very attentively to what I was saying and then he told me what to. The next few days he called and told me that he read my past folder and that I need to get some test ran. Dr. Scott seems very helpful. Thanks"
"My favorite thing about Dr. O’Keefe is he takes his time and you never feel rushed. He’s a good listener and ensures you are comfortable with the plan."
"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gibbs and the whole Gastro Arkansas staff! She has been so helpful in figuring out a treatment plan for me and she or one of her staff are always available when I have questions. Highly recommend!!"
"Super patient, kind, caring and had thorough knowledge. All my questions were answered and I never once felt rushed from the lab to the general appt. All went well."
"Dr. O’Keefe explains things very clearly and why taking medication is necessary. He takes time to answer all your questions. Way better than the doctor I had in Texas."
"Dr Thomas has been my GI physician for 10 years and I am so happy for his retirement but I will miss him! I have complete faith in the practice and know I will continue to receive the most competent and generous care. Their office is very efficient, the staff all very friendly and the atmosphere is one of professionalism with a touch of down-home charm."
"Front office staff are always kind, helpful and friendly. I wemt to see Dr Hansen after my previous GI wouldn't help me any further. Dr Hansen didn't bat and eye at tests and further investigation. He has not given up on helping me. I also find his nurse, Devin extremely helpful. She always goes over everything with you. You can message her in the portal and she gets back quickly. If she doesn't know she tells you she's going to talk with Dr Hansen and get back to you and she always does."
"Shelby Cochran is very polite and professional. She listens to her patients and tries to come up with the best treatment plan for whatever condition you may have based on labs, ultrasound, ct scans or mri. She makes you feel like you matter which I love. I highly recommend Shelby Cochran."
"Everyone from the receptionist to the nurse to the nurse practitioner were wonderful to deal with and listened well to all of my questions and concerns. I love this office! 100% recommend"
"Dr. John Moore is extraordinary and well worth waiting for. He pays close attention and holds hundreds of details from past visits and hospitalizations in his head while seeing me. He thinks deliberately and thoughtfully about what these details suggest, keeping me in the loop so that I can understand. When he suggests or demurs against potential new treatments, I know what the considerations are and am included in the decision-making process. I'm thrilled to have him as my doctor and would go a long way to keep him. And the staff are just lovely: warm, attentive and engaged. A real find."
"The ultimate joy in posting this is I can say “Dr. Wardlaw Listened to my concerns about getting colon cancer.” I know this may not be the place for me to say this, but thank you and it meant a lot."
"Dr. Paschall is the best GI doctor I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of them. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a thorough yet personable physician."
"I LOVE DR. GIBBS & her nurse!!! I’m thankful for their expertise & that they are WOMEN! Talking to a woman doctor about unspeakable things is much less stressful. Dr. Gibbs’ nurse is also easy to talk to & very calming. ❤️"
"I was treated with dignity and respect from the very first visit. They also provided me with resources for financial aid and support. Thank you Shelby Cochran!!!"
"Dr. O'KEEFE will take the time to listen to you. He is very professional and respectful. If you got something going on he will try and figure it out. His staff , nurse, and nurse Practitioner are all very nice."
"Dr. Thomas is the best doctor that I ever had for this. I really like his concern and well being. He's the best and I'll miss him when his retirement kicks in. I've enjoyed him as my doctor. I appreciate everything he's done for me. Thanks"
"I recently had an appointment with Cheryl. She was amazing. She took the time evaluate my situation and she gave me her prognosis. She then took the time to answer all my questions. Most importantly she had great "bedside manner." Her nurse (Joy) was also great! I spoke with her a few days ahead of my appointment and she was very helpful and empathetic. My experience with both Cheryl and Joy was 5-star!"
"I have found Dr Moore of GI Alliance to be empathetic, thorough. He addressed my issues. Asked the good questions. I appreciate his collaborative style. GIAlliance very trustworthy in my experience. I’ve also seen Dr Vinson for an emergency problem and felt safe in his hands. Again, collaborative with great expertise."
"Dr Moore is Fantabulous! He's helped me through a miriad of gastronomical problems including discovering my stomach cancer. I saw him earlier this week and I told him of some new issues that were popping up. He prescribed a new medication and suggested some OTC products as well. I feel so much better now He's very cordial and listens well along with being extremely professional. He has made me feel less anxious about my issues and explains in terminology I can understand I'd give him one hundred stars of that was an option!"
"Dr. Paschall has taken care of my husband's GI needs for years. Such a caring, and compassionate doctor. My husband has not been an easy patient to deal with. Dr. Paschall never fails to find a solution to whatever is going on and we have had LOTS going on. We would choose him over and over again. Thank you Dr. Paschall for going above and beyond time and time again."
"Dr. Ellison saved my life in 2018 . Was nearly dead from chronic c-diff . Now , six years later , looks like he's about to do it again ! After several years of begging incompetent , cold hearted megalomaniacs drs . For help & nearly gone again from something else , Dr. Ellison has once again stepped up to help me . If you are having any kind of GI Issues , there just isnt a more qualified person in North west Arkansas .....PERIOD ."
"This was my 1st visit with & introduction to Dr. Vinson. What motivated my decision to seek out Dr. Vinson was his laudatory & impressive reputation. Augmenting the accolades he receives, the GiAlliance staff could not have been more courteous; attentive; helpful; and genuinely gracious. Should you be in pursuit of a qualified & exemplary Gastroenterologist, look no further than Dr. Vinson (aka "Major Vinson)."
"I saw Dr Paschall for the first time but I read a lot of good reviews about before I had my dr send a referral! I first of all liked his bedside manner because that was the first thing I saw about him! I told him my concerns and he immediately sent me for tests to see if my concerns were valid. I then recommended him to my husband and he liked him as well! Has also had several tests to rule out some things we were concerned with! I would recommend him to anyone!"
"I was very impressed with Cheryl Walsh!She made me feel at ease, and gave me great information! The office crew was very friendly. Great experience!!"

"Dr Thomas and his nurse, Amy, are always welcoming. They treat each patient like they are the only appointment for their day. I have never felt rushed or like they don’t have time. Dr Thomas well be greatly missed, but praying that he has so many wonderful experiences in these coming years of his retirement. It is well deserved!"
"GI Alliance great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. Appreciate Dr. Sidney Vinson taking time to go over the procedure clearly and treatment options. Was referred over by my general doctor and can see why. Highly recommended."
"As always seeing Dr. Paschall is more like visiting a good friend. One who cares about you and your health. I always look forward to my visits with him."
"I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Sidney Vinson. He listened and was very thorough. I feel like he already is working on a resolution. Very pleased with his help to get my system straightened to help me feel better. God bless."
"Dr. Gary Thomas at GI Alliance is a wonderfully attentive and competent physician. He engages with his patient, expresses interest and concern for the patient’s diagnosis and progress, and raises the performance bar for physicians to a high level for all who follow in his wake. He will be sorely missed as retirement is his next great adventure. His office staff is beyond reproach."
"Dr. Paschall is extremely competent gastroenterologist. He performed my endoscopy and colonoscopy. Crew at the place was extremely pleasant and genuinely cared about patients well being. Dr. Paschall himself came before and after the procedure and explained everything thoroughly. Nurse even called me day after to check in me. Great doctor with great crew."
"Conveniently located. I was a new patient. I had a good visit from beginning to end. Nice, friendly staff. Dr. Gibbs was on time, pleasant and very knowledgeable. She took the time to listen, answer questions, and explain things very thoroughly. Wait time was short. I would definitely recommend her to others."
"Having a rare autoimmune disease, I feel confident that Dr. Vinson and Cheryl Walsh keep up to date with what's going on with me. They have helped me understand a rather baffling disease."
"This this was one of the easiest least stressful visits I've ever had for this kind of a procedure. Everyone was friendly, upbeat, smiling, but more than that they were efficient, thorough, and I believe that they truly had my best interests at heart and we're honestly interested in making me comfortable and making sure that I understood and knew what was happening."
"The staff is very friendly from the moment you walk in the door. Knowledgeable nursing staff that took the time to answer any questions that I had. I didn't feel like I was just a client name and number to them I honestly feel like I was one of there friends. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. In fact I mentioned to the nursing staff that I was surprised to see a doctor's office did actually cared about patients and what there going through. Even though I had no proof of the way I was feeling they took to heart everything I said and are trying to do other tests to figure out what's going on. I appreciate it ☺️. Katie Rentsch"
"No one enjoys a doctor visit! But at GI Alliance I was literally checked in and headed to see the doctor within 3 minutes. Doctor was extremely friendly informative! She talked in terms we all can understand and explained the process and procedure I will be having. Definitely going back!!"
"The staff is professional and friendly. On time and prompt. I felt comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Explained everything and was very helpful. I appreciate them tremendously and will keep going back (unfortunately) and will recommend them to anyone in need."
"Shelby Cochran N.P. is excellent! She takes her time to listen & worked at finding solutions to all my digestive issues. It took her careful plan of action, patience, changing the foods I consumed to achieve better health today. Thank you to all involved in my care."

"I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Dr. Ellison- in office and during procedures. He is very relatable, easy to speak to with any health concerns, and truly seems to listen to and value my feedback throughout my care. He and his office are both prompt and professional. I feel extremely confident in controlling my Crohns with Ellison heading my care."
"If 6 stars were an option he would get it. I went to him by accident. When he told me that he still gave me a script and gave me a referral to the correct specialist. Totally unrushed."
"Dr. Vinson is a wonderful doctor. He gives you all of the information that you need to know. He explains everything that is going to be done during treatment. He even lets you know of any complications that may come up and how he will handle them. If you have any questions he's ready with answers. His staff is just as wonderful, helpful and nice as Dr. Vinson. I highly recommend GI Alliance for all GI needs."
"I came to Dr. Wardlaw with challenging concerns and he helped me get to the bottom of them. He was polite, professional and took the time to listen and ask questions to better understand the issue. I greatly appreciate his help."
"I have been seeing Dr Moore for many years and find him very knowledgeable and current with all new procedures and pharmaceuticals regarding the treatment of my crohns. Dr Moore has always been very attentive to my needs and trying to treat the crohns while not interfering with treatment for my other medical issues, and his perseverance helped catch the stage 4 breast cancer and his wondereful nurse got me refered to Highlands Oncology that has allowed me to have treatment needed to extened my life. I was however a bit put of on my last visit regarding my concern with what a new insurance would cover or not when requested to do more blood tests I stated that I had just had a full set of blood test with Highlands Oncology just four days previous and that I have already allowed all test information to be shared with GI Alliance and Dr Moore and felt like I was ignored and actually treated with impatients and that I was just a waste of their time and my concerns were completely disregarded, so I gave in and had more blood drawn. So now if my insurance does not feel that multiple blood test in the same month is necessary I will be stuck with yet another large medical debt. Thus possibly forcing me to forgo future follow up visits."
"Incredible service, I was in and out it seemed like. Minimal waiting, I was sitting in the waiting area for just a few minutes and they took me in and then nurse did her thing, left and Doctor Gibbs was right in, she was very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend her, the staff and her clinic."
"My experience at the GI Alliance clinic was EXCELLENT!!! From the moment you walk in you feel welcome.

"This place is great and they are easy to talk with and figure out what’s going on . Great staff as well as the Drs and nurse practitioners💕 thank you !"
"I am Marie Hudgens daughter. Karen Stewart. She lives with us and I take care of all her medical appointments & meds.I was very happy with Moms medical appointment. I was disappointed because the nurse didn’t call me like she assured me she would with Moms Lab reports. Other wise I was satisfied with De. Ellison and his team."
"Dr. Paschal has been treating me for 4 years. I wasn't initially impressed or felt a connection. However, through the years I've come to value him and his staff with much admiration. He's the reason I'm alive today. I'm very fortunate to be his patient."
"I’ve been a patient of Dr O’Keefe since 2018. He has been absolutely incredible! I have had stomach issues for as long as I can remember. He listens to me. He doesn’t make me feel like I’m wasting his time like some other doctors have in the past. I completely trust him and his opinions."

Recently I got very sick, and again he did the appropriate testing, & treatment. He has got me back in check & I am getting stable. He’s mannerism is kind & understanding. When my test results come in, I always get notified by his staff of results & if I need any different treatment. I thank you Dr. Paschall & your staff. Deborah Watt"
"Hi I have been a patient for several years ,I love the service, and all of the workers are dedicated to your health, I will add that billing is terrible, I paid my copay and for months afterwards I was getting billed again and again."

"For the pre-screening part, Dr. Ward law was really great in wanting to get with my primary Dr and Cardiologist! I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family!"
"I came to Dr. Wardlaw with challenging concerns and he helped me get to the bottom of them. He was polite, professional and took the time to listen and ask questions to better understand the issue. I greatly appreciate his help."

"Dr. Wardlaw was very personable and knowledgeable. He immediately put me at ease. I appreciated the time he took with me - did not feel like he was in a hurry to move on to the next patient."
"I was nervous, it had been 1 month since my terribly painful episode. I felt this doctor listened and did not dismiss my bizarre episode. He was informative with some compassion shown towards me."
"I really had my mind set on my old doctor and was just doing a consult. But after talking to him my mind was changed. He has such a nice and caring personality he immediately had my trust. His staff was super accommodating as well. Highly recommend!"
"The service was great and everyone there are very sweet and professional. Doctor Wardlaw is kind and caring and really listens to you as a patient. His concern seems genuine."
"I was a new patient with Dr. Wardlaw! First, I've been to GastroAR and the whole staff is friendly. But my visit with Dr. Wardlaw was amazing; he took the time to listen to my symptoms and concerns. Then he explained everything to me, first his positive thoughts and then what he suggests his next steps to be taken. Talking about a doctor with "great bedside manners"...that Dr. Scott Wardlaw!!!"
"Dr Wardlaw is the third gastroenterologist I have seen in 16 years. He is the ONLY one to sit down and LISTEN to me. He did not dismiss anything I said. I wish I had found him sooner."
"They were very nice and everything was handled in a timely manner. Dr. Wardlaw listened carefully to everything I had to say and was very patient with me."
"The office staff was very efficient and Dr. Wardlaw was knowledgeable and professional. He asked several questions to be sure he understood our concerns and medical issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"I recently had a visit with Dr. Wardlow and it was amazing. His office staff was so nice and friendly. He made me feel heard. He listened to all my concerns and ask important questions. He had amazing bedside manner. We also came up with a plan together. He made me feel in control of my healthcare and the path moving forward and explained anything that was unclear. I would definitely recommend."
"Friendly, willing to take time to listen about your concerns. Offers suggestions on how to better treat yourself. Does have a lot of questions to go through upon arrival. Can use tablet or paper. Be prepared to arrive at least 15 minutes before actual appointment to answer questionnaire. I prefer the tablet so you can just press the next button to those pages that haven’t changed since last appointment."
"Recently seen doctor Ellison for my liver and I was really happy with him as my doctor. He was extremely nice and made sure i understood what to expect and really put my mind at ease. Im sure I will receive exceptional care from him and his team. I had also seen his nurse practitioner Chelsea before for a consult and she was also great. Im very pleased with the care i have been given from both of them."
"Dr O’Keefe was great, very attentive and listened to all my concerns. I didn't feel rushed he took time to answer all my questions. I would recommend him highly."
"I have always had such a positive experience with Dr. O’Keefe as my GI doctor. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, keeps me updated on new treatments, and is always looking out for my best interests. I’m looking to start a family soon and he took extra time out of his day to ensure that the medicine I am on would be safe while pregnant and breastfeeding. He explains things in a way where it isn’t over your head and his level of care is above and beyond."

"Very thorough and goes over everything I have questions about. He gives me the do's and don'ts of what should be going on with my Crohn's and is trying to get it all under control. (It went haywire because of my last doctor in California) I had two short stints in the hospital about a year ago and so far, under Dr Moore's care, I haven't been back in!! That's a good thing, in my book. I hope the future gets even better. PS... their new medical building in Springdale is beautiful."
"Wait time is very minimal in the waiting area. Dr Ellison is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. After a quick review of my file he determines what is needed & schedules accordingly. His office staff at his new facility is finally getting the hang of things. The nurse staff is very good!"
"As always he takes the time to listen to what you have to say and answers any and all questions. Always enjoy my visit with Dr. Gary Thomas. He is a great physician and in my opinion he's the best."
"Dr Ellison has the best bedside manner of all my doctors. He cares about your total health and will send referrals to assist with other health issues. So refreshing to feel like you have a doctor who truly listened and cared."
"I have used Dr. Paschall for several years and he is amazing. I was extremely impressed with everyone and everything at my most recent appointment. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Paschall to anyone needing a caring physician."
"One of the best doctors I have, very little wait time to see Dr Paschall. He answers all my questions and doesn't rush through the visit. Him and his staff are very kind and polite people."
"The staff, nurses and doctors are very friendly while being professional. They are well educated in their field of medicine. I waited less than 10 minutes in the waiting room before being called to an exam room.Things progressed in a very timely manner once in the exam room. Was told “I will call you tomorrow with tests results.” They did call and discussed the results and a plan of action to help."
"My visits always go well and on time with Dr. Paschal. The new office is very nice, great views and easy to access. I get good care with GI Alliance. I definitely recommend."
"Great customer service and friendly staff. Dr. O’Keefe and Shelby are both excellent providers and actually take time to listen to your questions and concerns."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Paschall's for several years, and have always been very pleased with his care. I recently moved with him to his new office, and have also been pleased there. I feel that he cares about me and is familiar with my case, thus giving me more personal advise than someone else would. I recently told him that I trusted his advise about a couple of different matters, and would gladly do what he recommended. He's a keeper."
"This place is absolutely amazing. This team of people set a new standard by which health care should be provided. I am completely in awe of their professionalism, knowledge, and exemplary customer service. Megan the office manager was the kindest person who went above and beyond to help get care for my mom. Pippa the receptionist, Shelby the nurse practitioner, Bailey the scheduler, and Laura the checkout receptionist were all very kind and professional as well. This team is the healthcare field at its best. They are definitely one rung above the everyone else. Thank you!"
"Dr. Gibbs was a fellow at my previous medical facility and I have followed her as she has jumped through all the hoops and is now a provider in a private practice. She is very conscientious and attends to every detail of my health. I feel that her training was excellent and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future."
"Dr. Gibbs was very friendly, and knowledgeable. She took time to talk to me, answer my questions and keep me informed throughout the visit/exam. This was my first time for an appointment of this nature. She put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. She is truly excited about her specialty (which is funny and comforting at the same time.) One has to wonder why anyone would go into gastro, but you can tell she enjoys what she does and enjoys helping people."
"I went in and got the doctor up to speed on what is going on with me and she started scheduling tests for checking out my problem. Very polite and quick."
"Dr. Ellison was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Did not feel like a Dr. appointment at all, more like catching up with an old friend. I never spent more that five minutes in a waiting room, and I feel like he can resolve my issues."
"Dr Thomas is a very good & professional, caring,Dr. He listen to you and answer all your questions. I have been a patient for years and received the best care from Dr. Thomas and his staff. I highly recommend him!!"
"Dr Vinson is always interested in me as a patient and friend. He is punctual, professional, and very confident in his ability to make judgments and prescribe the necessary regimen of care. I feel like he sincerely cares about his patients, and he takes time to listen to us. He is an asset to the group."
"Everything was great with one exception. The nurse that called me back and asked the 1st questions seemed to be having a less than stellar day. I felt as if I were an inconvenience for some reason. It was later in the day and they are all probably tired, but being friendly isn't that difficult. I had a bad experience with a customer once. They described me as being politely hostile. Now I understand how they felt. Otherwise, everyone was great and very helpful."
"Cheryl listened carefully, asked questions, then discussed options with me. She also is checking on my diagnosis from my recent hospital stay. I could not have asked for more."
"The nurse who took me back to enter my medical info to the computer was excellent. I am disappointed in the attitude of the PA I saw next. She seemed disinterested and dismissive when I described issues I’ve been having with acid reflux. I have never sent a less than thoroughly positive response to a medical interview before today."
"Very nice and clean office, building, etc. Very kind from the front desk to the nurses and doctor, explained everything Very well and give you the patient all the options but gives you the best professional opinion. Great care team."
"Dr. Paschall & the entire staff were considerate, professional & made me feel at ease. The check-in process went smoothly & my procedure was on time (& it was late afternoon). When I went to pick up the prep at my pharmacy, I was informed that my insurance required a pre-auth for this particular prep. It was suggested I call the clinic to let them know. I did, & another prep was called in with new directions emailed to me the same day by the clinic. This was my first procedure of this kind & I could not ask for a better experience. Dr. Paschall told me my results quickly & he was very cool. The discharge instructions were easy to follow & they made sure I had emergency numbers if needed. 10 out of 10 recommend!"
"Very friendly and respectful staff, took time to actually listen and talk about my symptoms and didn't make me feel like I was imagining symptoms like other physicians I have seen."
"Have been patient since 2014 and every appointment has been fantastic. Everyone always friendly and knowledgeable. Also Cheryl is one reason I'm still alive. My wife and I love her for what she's done for us. She's very special!"
"North Hills Endoscopic center and Dr Kevin O’Keefe are a great place to have your Esophagus, Stomach, duodenum and colon checked. 2 nd time I have had to have these things looked at. Dr O’Keefe is very personable and very thorough on history and understanding what you are going thorough. Endoscopic center staff are very professional, but seem to be in a rut and don’t seem to have as much compassion as they one did 3 years ago but then again we have been through a pandemic, maybe they all need a nice break."
"Sidney Vinson, M.D. is an excellent doctor who carried out a procedure of my wife. He is highly-qualified & professional doctor. I recommend others to take his service. Thx."
"He was very compassionate and caring and made me comfortable talking about my procedure and the pre prep that made me sick. Instead of getting mad at me like GI docs before he just said we’d see if it was enough and it was as he dud my procedure. He made me feel comfortable in a very nervous situation very caring and compassionate not the typical GI doc"
"I’m so glad that Dr. Vinson was available to take good care of me for the 4th time in 20 years. Fortunately, this colonoscopy is my last one and I knew that I would feel comfortable since Dr.Vinson didn’t cancel me. 😂"
"I love Dr. Sydney Vinson and Cheryl Walsh. They both are great and know their stuff. They have great bedside manner all the time. They care about their patients and are very easy to talk to. I've gone to them for years. I would and do recommend them to people."
"I was referred to Dr Ellison by my GP. This was the 2nd time I was having a colonoscopy. His Staff were wonderful. I would refer my family or friends to Dr Ellison's office."
"I would recommend Dr O’Keefe for any one fixing to have a colonoscopy. He came and gave a detailed explanation of his procedure and sent home pictures along with written explanation after my procedure. Very professional and informative."
"Excellent pre care and after care. I woke up as if nothing had happened with no issues afterwards. Good deep going explanation of pictures taken of GIT. Very happy with the experience!"
"This group is absolutely "Top Notch". While I don't know of anyone that enjoys ANY part of a colonoscopy, they are something we do for our health/life sustainability. GI Alliance of AR made the entire procedure totally painless and tolerable. Dr Paschall was great, the entire staff put me at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Paschall and GI Alliance of Arkansas!"
"Everybody from check in to checkout were nice and professional. Easiest colonoscopy to date. I will definitely be using him again in the future and I will definitely be recommending him to my patients."
"I’ve been a patient with GI Alliance for some time, but recently after my husband’s diagnosis with cancer made it harder for me to be seen in the clinic - they gave me the option for a telehealth visit. Which helped my hectic schedule SO much easier- and my health wasn’t pushed aside so that I could continue to take care of things at home."
"My first visit with Chelsea (NP) was ģreat. She was very attentive, listened to me and asked pertinent questions. She summarized my concerns, made her recommendations, and consulted with a physician in the practice and called me back in just a few days as she promised."
"Dr. Moore is an amazing doctor that really cares about his patients health, he take the time to tell you everything and leaves no questions unanswered. I highly recommend him to anyone."
"GI Alliance great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. Appreciate Dr. Sidney Vinson taking time to go over the procedure clearly and treatment options. Was referred over by my general doctor and can see why. Highly recommended."
"I have all the confidence in Dr. Vinson that one needs in their doctor. He is knowledgeable and friendly. Those who work for him make you very comfortable. The best!"
"Dr. Moore is very professional and really listens to you and what your concerns are. He is eager to help resolve your issues or problem. I highly recommend Dr. Moore."
"Dr Moore and his team were very professional fyy try on start to finish. I went from checking in to leaving recovery on under 2 hours. Would highly recommend"
"I was nervous going in, but was quickly put at ease with Dr. O'Keefe and his staff. They answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable! I appreciated Donna's (anesthesiologist) informative and comforting words."
"I enjoyed having Dr Moore do my endoscopy. He explained the procedure and asked if I had any questions. My IV blew and the sleepy medicine went into my hand and wrist and boy! It hurt! They all took very good care of me putting cold towels on my arm and hand. The nurse kept apologizing to me. Dr. Moore and staff were very caring. Thank you all 😊"
"Dr. Moore is great. He was my doctor for my first colonoscopy. I was very nervous but it was over before I knew it. He came in post procedure within 10 min to review the results. I would highly recommend."
"I have been seeing Dr. Ellison for about 5 years now and always have had a good experience. He takes care of my needs very professionally and honestly. I would highly recommend him."
"Dr. Thomas and all his support staff are very good at what they do. Everyone made me feel as comfortable as possible, answered all my questions without rushing, and called the next day just to make sure I was ok. With all the staffing shortages since COVID, sometimes healthcare isn’t what it used to be. That’s not the case at all with Dr. Thomas. I would highly recommend."
"I had to have both an upper and lower gi done. The prep was all pills no nasty stuff to drink Dr Pascal and his nurses were all so kind. My prep needed a third dose so I had to go home that morning and do the third dose I was having to have it done due to cancer and possibly spread to my lower GI instead of making me reschedule for weeks down the road they had me come back in that afternoon it is the procedure I have nothing bad to say about any of them and they were wonderful the nurses did not have been sweeter."
