Dekalb Gastroenterology Associates: Balistreri Anthony M MD

I highly recommend Dr. Balistreri. He's willing to listen and make appropriate recommendations that support the total health of the person. I felt empowered about my condition leaving the office today and have not felt that way for months. Navigating the lot is a bit tricky, yes---but 2675 is in giant numbers on the building and you can park in the adjacent lot. (Just don't follow maps or you will end up at HomeGoods or something lol.)

I had a colonoscopy here today 4.3.26. The place is very difficult to find because it's on the huge Emory hospital complex. The incessant confirmation emails, texts and calls were too much. Leading up to the appointment, I rec'd no less than 2 emails, 2 texts and 2 phone calls (they don't leave a msg!). I confirmed numerous times but still kept getting the spam contact. The 1st problem when we did finally find suite 506 and walked in, there was no one sitting behind the check-in desk. So we checked in using the QR code and waited. I got tired of waiting so I yelled HELLO and someone very nearby answered. Evidently, endoscopy patients are supposed to walk through the oddly decorated blue door to yet another check in window?! There is no way in the world that a new patient would know to walk through that blue door to find a smaller check-in desk where the receptionists actually are. The nurses were great. The doctor was fine until the end. I'm all done, sitting in a wheelchair in the giant room with all the individual curtained rooms (which were all closed and occupied). Orderlies, nurses and patients are everywhere. The doctor comes out to give me my end of procedure paperwork, pictures and results. Instead of going to a private office, he's standing there in front of me, talking fairly loudly about everything (personal private things) in the wide open room where everyone can hear. I felt that was very unprofessional and maybe even a hippa violation. I didn't really need the entire room knowing the results of my procedure and possible future follow ups. Instead, bring the patient into an office, close the door, offer a water (propofol makes your mouth super dry) and privately tell the patient your findings and suggestions.

Excellent experience with Dr. Balistreri at United Digestive. The scheduler, nurse, and anesthesiologist were all wonderful, and Dr. Balistreri is a caring, thorough doctor who made me feel completely at ease. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Wonderful care, scheduling, billing and overall performance! Thanks to you all.

Dr. Balisteri is a doctor who gave up on helping me. He provides brochures and order medicine without telling you what you are taking and what it will do to help you. I selected him based on the reviews I saw here. He’s never called me back personally; however, his assistance did. Tamika has a nasty attitude when she can’t get you to agree with her. I will never return to this office especially after the news I received today.

Wouldn’t recommend this doctor to anyone I know, Beware. Comes off as nice but is truly uncaring. He only cares to get you out the door and “treats” you because he legally can’t refuse your service. I have major heart problems now after one of his procedures because he rushed. My life has been drastically changed. Don’t be like me

The Dr & the staff here are very professional, friendly & helpful!! They listen to you!
