Ottawa Gastrointestinal Institute

I had a colonoscopy done by Dr. Sy at OGI. Everyone from the reception, nurses, anesthesiologist and the doctor were all patient, reassuring, very professional and worked efficiently. Being my first time with anesthesia, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. I walked in to a clean facility with a nice decor, they checked me in quickly and did an excellent job communicating the expectation and the risks to me, and before I knew it I was waking up in the recovery area with no discomfort. The worst part of the whole procedure was the prep and even then, it seems that the pico-salax that was recommended was the most pleasant option from what I read. I appreciate the work they do at OGI and I won't hesitate to go back to them for my next GI needs! I'm also not great with needles but the IV went in first try and pretty painlessly. They have a great crew over there, don't be scared to get the procedure you need done!

From start to finish I had a great experience at OGI. Starting with the polite receptionist to the nurses pre during and post care. Dr Heuser was fantastic with a great bedside manner . I must give a special shout out to the anesthesiologist Dr Dennis Reid. He made me feel comfortable during the procedure by explaining everything. His way with people is spectacular.

I got a colonoscopy this week by Dr. Robert Tambay. I want to raise the high quality of personnel , service, kindness and professionalism of every member at starting at the reception, by the nurses and the Anesthesiologist Irish doctor that I forget the name. That was way above normal service that we receive anywhere else. I was afraid before I arrived at the OGI. Now I can tell you that I strongly recommend that institute.

Great service. Totally professional, informative... And pain free. I can't recommend them enough! On top of that... It was Halloween... There was a cow, bumble bee and narwal.... How's that for putting you at ease!

So thankful for the doctors that founded the Ottawa Gastrointestinal Institute. These doctors took it upon themselves to open this clinic to prevent Gastrointestinal disease as there was has been a substantial increase in our society. Ever since they opened, they have helped so many by performing early screening. It's absolutely amazing and empowering to see such an amazing group advocating for society health as our government fails to see this as a need until we turn 50+. The staff nurses, doctor Boushey and support team are all super fantastic. I was able to ask all the questions I needed, and they accommodated one special request. What I've learned.. never, ever be afraid to be an advocate for your health. I'm so glad I spoke up before what a mild case could have become possibly life threatening battle. Thank you to my new family doctor that took my concerns seriously and put in the request.

Excellent professional Service. I had my colonoscopy screening done by Dr. Grant. Very friendly and respectful staff. Awesome experience. Thank you guys!

high marks for the staff and treatment at this clinic. Dr Tambay and the anesthesiologist name ? were prompt, clear in their explanations pre and post procedures. Support staff were also pleasant to deal with.

Now that I am leaving my admin position at OGI that I have worked at for over 2 years - this clinic is absolutely phenomenal. The physicians are extremely knowledgeable and caring. The nurses are friendly and compassionate. The medical administrators are quick, efficient and are very knowledgeable as well. OGI works as a whole to ensure all patients are taken care of as required. I will be coming back when it comes my time for a colonoscopy - would not want my care anywhere else! Just make sure you read your preparation instructions well in advance and you will be in great hands :

I just wanted to say , I had the best experience in this institute.Everybody so friendly , professional make you so comfortable. The cleanest place . Congratulations! I With respect Ginger Neuendorrf. I

I was in the hands of an amazing team at this clinic. ALL staff was empathetic and considerate. Dr. Tambay and Dr. Hicks were reassuring and engaged in a real exchange with me to address any concern I had. My colonoscopy went so fast it felt like a power nap, from which I didn't come back overly groggy or sore. Although everything was done efficiently, I didn't feel pushed or rushed into anything. Thank you for a great experience, Doctors!
