David Stokesberry's Online Review Report Card

Dr Stokesberry is a fine gastroenterologist whom I've only seen twice, but a doctor is only as good as the staff around him. Unfortunately, his staff does not appreciate being questioned by a patient, consistently lied about an MRI procedure as being performed correctly which it wasn’t, and I was only permitted to speak to the staff via portal emails or phone, and not the doctor. Within a few days I received a letter that Dr Stokesberry was "terminating the physician-patient relationship" due to my "abusive statements to his staff." I questioned the procedure I had which was contrary to what the doctor ordered and had discussed with me during my prior visit. Based on the admin and staff responses regarding the procedure, I advised I was reporting the inconsistencies to Medicare, and possibly covering up for someone's negligence. In the interim, the doctor's actual original notes for the procedure were erased from the patient portal, and I am restricted from entering the portal to obtain any of my own health information. I received my EOB from Medicare that supports the original testing order for an MRI. So standing up for my healthcare rights and questioning discrepancies and inconsistencies is now considered "abusive." In addition, I am banned from contacting any doctor in the DDSI group at any location. I will never again recommend this doctor due to his complete lack of caring and follow-up not only regarding the dispute about the testing but also not addressing the "abusive" statements with me directly before dismissing me as his patient. If you do go to him remember that his staff can easily have your patient-doctor relationship terminated as they already did with me, or be prepared to deal with and bow down before his almighty and all-knowing rude staff and never ever question anything lest you be "terminated" as a patient.

Dr Stokesberry is a fine doctor whom I've only seen twice in the past two years, but a doctor is only as good as his responses and follow-up with the patient which is severely lacking. Since he leaves a patient’s medical questions and responses up to his staff and admin personnel, I cannot recommend him due to the rudeness of his staff and their inability to provide an accurate medical answer regarding a procedure I had. As I was never given the opportunity to speak directly to Dr. Stokesberry regarding this situation, access to my health records through the patient portal have been terminated, as well as his physician-patient relationship. The situation has been documented in detail and submitted to Medicare.

Dr Stokesberry is a fine doctor whom I've only seen twice, but a doctor is only as good as the staff around him. Unfortunately his staff is not truthful, does not appreciate being questioned by a patient, lied about a procedure, and in the end I received a letter that he was "terminating the physician-patient relationship" due to my "abusive statements to his staff." Yes, I called his administrative personnel a liar based on her responses regarding the procedure I had, I did say I was preparing to inform Medicare, and also stated I felt they were just covering up for negligence. In the interim, the doctor's notes were erased from the patient portal, and I am restricted from obtaining my health information. And all this took place thru portal emails with the admin staff and never with Dr. Stokesberry. So I guess standing up for my healthcare rights is "abusive" when I questioned why I was being lied to. In addition I am banned from contacting ANY DDSI doctor at ANY location. So in my opinion, take your chances and pray you don't upset any of the highly-insensitive and rude staff.

Dr Stokesberry is the best dr I've ever had. If only the office employees were more helpful. Its like they put up a barrier to communication.

Dr David Stokesberry (DS) has preformed at least 6 colonoscopies the past 20 + years. My prior gastro Dr was a teaching dr & chief of Staff at his hospital & performed a dozen colonoscopies. He was the BEST!!!But Dr DS is his equal. Ever bit as good. Dr DS is one of the finest Doctor in every sense. Me & my wife & family admire him immensely 😇🙏😇

Dr. Stokesberry's care is compassionate and kind. His bedside manner and skills are second to none. I'm so glad to have found him!

Could not understand his diagnosis.

Dr.Stokesberry is an answer to our prayers. After seeing another GI specialist for two years we were referred to him because we were not getting answers to my daughter’s condition. Dr. Stokesberry not only quickly diagnosed her, he saved her life. Our family will be forever grateful for his attentive and quick treatment. He listens closely to her when describing her ailments and believes her when describing her pain. He encourages her to not slip into despair and assures her that he wants to help. Every office visit, we leave with hope knowing he has her best interest at heart. To describe what our family has gone through in the course of two years with her previous doctor is heartbreaking. Dr. Stokesberry returns our calls quickly and provides quick care and attention to my daughter. She dropped down to 72 pounds and was on the verge of death. Dr. Stokesberry saved my daughter’s life. Our family calls him The Guardian Angel. After many prayers from our family, friends and church we feel so blessed to have him as her primary GI specialist. Because of Dr.Stokesberry, my daughter will see Christmas (her favorite holiday) and many more in the years to come. To see my daughter pull through a close call with his help is a miracle and answer from God. She is now up to 94 pounds! Any and every patient under his care will be made top priority. He is truly amazing! Look no further.... this doctor will impress and amaze you like. His compassion, knowledge and expertise will exceed all your expectations.

Dr Stokesberry has been our provider for over 10 years. I only get to see him about every 5 years, each time he and his staff are courteous and professional. I have never had the waiting times / scheduling conflicts that others have reported with Digestive Disease Specialists so I hope nothing has changed in the last year since I was in, one of my family members also sees Dr. Stokesberry and will be doing a procedure next month.Highly recommend Dr Stokesberry.
