Dr. Bates was phenomenal with my son. He listened carefully to me and provided a good plan of care. He walked me through all the steps so I could understand exactly how we were going to treat my son. I loved my experience.

Dr. Bates and his team provide us with individualized care and spend as much time as we need with them. We don't feel rushed. They are caring and thoughtful and through.

Dr. Bates is a wonderful GI doctor! As a parent, I don't feel rushed during my son's office visits. He answers our questions thoroughly. He even recommends that we call after hours if we have any questions or concerns during evenings or weekends.
