"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."
"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."
"Chelsea is very professional and yet compassionate, always listens to me and my concerns! She always answers any questions that I may have in a way that I’m able to understand! I would recommend her to anyone for GI needs!"
"Dr Wilson was the best she was informative and kind and really cared about how I was doing. Also love dr O’Keefe too I think I have the best care team. Thanks"
"My journey with Dr. Paschall began around 9 yrs ago. He’s treatment was aggressive with in hours of my test results. And I thank him every day for that. 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"
"Amber at the Dallas office was very helpful and nice. I finally got my questions answered. I had been passed around by other employees and Washington Regional. Amber took control, told me when she would get back to me. She got back to me that afternoon. Thanks Amber for your caring and go get it done attitude. We need more people like you Best Regards Nancy Reynolds"
"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."
"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."
"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. 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."
"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 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 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."
"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!"
"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."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"Dr. Paschall & his staff are very professional & friendly. They made sure I was comfortable & aware of all aspects of my procedure. It was great that they also followed up AFTER the procedure to check on my well-being."
"The staff was friendly, the wait time wasn't bad and Dr O'Keefe answered all my questions, addressed all my concerns and helped me understand what needed to be done. Dr O'Keefe also eliminated my fear of my anesthesia issues. Now I can look forward to getting the help and relief I've needed for so long. I plan to keep him as a permanent part of my medical care. Thank you Dr O'Keefe!"
"I have seen a nurse practitioner for my needs. The staff at this clinic have all been extremely helpful, courteous and very professional. The one Telemed appointment I had was a great experience, as were the office visits I have had."
"My procedure was quick, easy and done very efficiently and professionally. The staff as well as the doctors were kind and courteous and explained what was being done and what to expect during the procedure."
"My spouse has seen Dr. Paschal for several GI procedures, and we are extremely pleased with his care and professionalism!!. Would refer other's to his office!!"
"I recently had a EDG done by him. He talked to me before and was very thorough and kind. Afterwards he talk to me and my husband I dont remember much from the sedative. My husband was impressed by suggestions he makes and how quickly his staff got me set up for a CT scan. They promptly call me with results. He caught on to some potential reasons for my pain that according to everything I have read goes unissued. Now he has me set up for a few more things. I am thankful I was referred to him. He knows his stuff"
"I had a colonoscopy at the Northhills endoscopy center in Fayetteville. I thought the nurses were very efficient n friendly. They were professional and took good care of me. This center was very efficient by staying on time even tho they were very busy. Dr Vinson talked to me before the colonoscopy and afterwards. He has a good bedside manner and explained things to me throughly. He is an excellent doctor, a caring one and likable. I would recommend Dr Vinson and the Northhills endoscopy Center."
"If you want a doctor that is empathetic and listens to you, this is your guy. He does as much as he can to get to the root of the problem since gastrointestinal issues can be hard to pinpoint. Dr.Paschall and his staff are very friendly and always smiling. I’m always put at ease even after having to fast for 2 days, ha. Every time I’ve had an appointment they’re running ahead of schedule so that’s impressive. He’s hard to get into which is a good sign because he’s such a good doctor so you can’t expect to just go in when you want to, but his nurse Carley on the phone is so kind and will answer any questions she can."
"This is a very good doctor to go to. He was always nice and kind to me. His advice made me feel better in just a few days. I think that this isn't just a job to him, but he actually cares about his patients."
