Patient Reviews
Nov 05, 2021
I had a very painful sigmoidoscopy and thought he should have been more prepared regarding my case beforehand. A nice guy though. I've just never been in so much pain during a procedure before. He didn't know I have a twisted colon. Maybe my notes from previous Dr. were not up to date. Dr. Gibb's is probably more thorough. Immodium was a great idea. Stopped my loose stools. I still have a lot of faith in him. I'd give him 4 stars. I would recommend him to friends.
