Dr Quist and team have been very helpful. Not that easy to get into, but Dr. Quist has always made himself available and returns calls. Good listener and thinks things through. Not an alarmist....appreciate his thoroughness and kindness. Only downside is that he doesnt have virtual appts for quick issues...but not a big deal.

Dr Quist quickly diagnosed my digestion issues which other gastric doctors had been unable to do He then ordered a battery of tests to find what other problems I had His staff is very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions I had about the tests

Nice office staff. My appointment was scheduled some time out because you have to understand the doctor also has colonoscopies and surgeries scheduled out of his office. He's not in the office all the time. Therefore, appears his standard patient office hours might be limited. Plus he's really popular. HOWEVER, I was on a waiting list. His team called about (2) weeks after setting the appointment. They had a concelation for an appointment that day. I didn't mind running in, with a short notice, because the doctor is the best and kinda cool and I trust him. Particularly in that area as I'm picky/conservative. Thank you :) I wanted to show my appreciation with a nice review. I don't make any reviews unless the services are exceptionally wonderful. Also, I hadn't been checked in a while and was kinda scared so I appreciated the call when a cancelation. Was totally my fault for waiting so late to schedule. Heads-up, to simply schedule your appt sooner. The Doctor has lots of office team staff. He runs a business and needs to pay them too. Plus insurance billing is a nightmare and requires doctors to pay someone to help with that too. Those out of office proceedures ensures he can pay his team a fair wadge to take care of his patients. I run a business and get it. So do the doctors. All my Hoag nurse friends saw the doctor. I ended up on junky insurance for a while. I waited untill better insurance to see this doctor again. Doctor is worth the wait. The office team was very busy on phones and answering calls. Doctor was totally on time. I didn't need to wait. I simply remember for the brief moment I was in the waiting room how I could not handle all the calls with various questions his team had to answer. Their phones were ringing non-stop. Even when driving home I remember how his office team was so busy and they still called when the doctor had a concelation. I was glad that I simply ran in. Anyway, sometimes you have to 'go with the flow' and understand the other person and running a business side too. Simply get on a cancelation list and keep in mind you might have to run in, that day. Or, schedule your appt sooner knowing there might be a wait. The DOC is worth it and super cool. And, I'm in my 60's :) Totally cool ! Thanks a bunch.

Excellent doctor with great bedside manners. He is very thorough to go over everything and his staff is very diligent and courtesy in following up on appointments and prescriptions. I would highly recommend him. I wish all my doctors and staff were this good!

I had a colonoscopy this AM by Dr Quist. I'm so happy I was referred to him. He prescribes pills instead of the dreaded liquid for the prep and it's a much more gentle approach. He is a class act - he listens to concerns and quickly adapts to make the patient more comfortable. I chose low sedation and was awake and able to watch the screen while he worked. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Dr Quist.

Dr Quist helped me through an urgent procedure that was needed and wasted no time in getting me to the hospital to get it taken care of. He carefully went over what was done and I'm happy to report the problem has now been resolved. He is very thorough and covers all the bases.

After reading a few 1 star reviews I feel I have to write a review like now!! I'm currently on the Beautiful Majestic Princess cruise ship but I'm taking the time to write this review to give my assessment of the staff. I have a friend who has an emergency situation calling me asking me for a recommendation for a gastroenterologist, I had to beat up on my brain to remember Dr Quist name as I had seen him a year ago n have been so busy I have not had a chance to review. I called Dr Quist for an appointment to get a colonoscopy, the staff was as polite to me as I was to them, the lady who helped me was super nice, it was during the Covid full blown pandemic so a long wait was to be expected, I requested a call back should there be a cancellation, sure enough there was, many people canceled due to fear, not me I lived a normal life n took the immediate appointment. What was amazing was Dr Quist protocol, I had a colonoscopy before n I had ptsd! It was very stressful what I had to go through, too much to drink, a gallon of disgusting taste fluid. Dr Quist instructions were amazingly clear n simple, no enema! I could not finish the lesser amount required I called the office if I recall correctly at 7am, I got an answer right away that it was ok so why people complain about the staff? I have no idea. Dr Quist is a compassionate dr, he has excellent bedside manners, before the colonoscopy he asked me if I had any more questions, I wanted to know the exact dose n drugs he used, he told me n assured me everything would be fine, I worked in the biggest medical center n I have never known any doctor as caring as he is to take the time to talk to a patient. I pray my friend will get an appointment w Dr Quist. 3 years ago I had an unnecessary abdominal surgery so I know from experience how important it is to find a good doctor Especially in gastroenterology. Dr Quist should get a 6 stars!!

The staff manning the front desk are excellent. They are cheerful and efficient. A pleasure in these difficult times. Dr Quist listens and is very responsive. A true professional. Thanks

A big thank you to Dr Quist and his amazing Staff! From the initial consultation to the actual procedure, everything went so wonderfully well. Dr Quist is an excellent Doctor, he answered all my questions and his Staff are so friendly and efficient. I couldn't wish for anything more.

Dr Quist has been my doctor for the past 12 years. He's the best! Kind, listens, respectful, knowledgeable and doesn't leave any stone unturned. Due to post-chemo issues, I have undergone many colonoscopies and endoscopies. He has found and treated multiple issues over the years and he keeps me healthy. The office staff and nurses are also awesome: professional, yet relaxed and comfortable. I actually love seeing everyone and don't know what I'd do without all of them!
