Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommend!!!
Dr. Amaratunge and the entire office staff were absolutely WONDERFUL! I’ve struggled with Diabetes since the age of 16 which ultimately led to Gastroparesis. Her staff was so quick and easy for me to get scheduled in and she jumped right on top of things to better help me with treatment. I feel confident in my provider and would highly recommend if you’ve struggled with gastrointestinal issues EVER…She’s the one to put your health and trust in. Thank you Dr. Amaratunge!!!

Like the doctor, but office staff impossible
My appt. with Dr. Amaratunge went well; I liked her, and a procedure was scheduled although she said I might not actually need it. She would let me know after reviewing report from my previous colonoscopy. In 3 weeks time I was unable to get any communication from her office regarding that: no response to my phone messages, text messages or messages thru the website. Their portal is unusable unless you get a code from them, but how? I couldn't even reach them to cancel the procedure as it got close! Had to get United Health Care to reach them and have them call me. A very stressful 3 weeks and completely unacceptable.
