On June 6th 2019, I went in for a colonoscopy and everyone that was part of the procedure made me feel real comfortable. Prior to the procedure Dr Gaston made me aware of the good and the bad. Well, of course I was a bit nervous until that anesthesia hit me I was out like a light. Dr Gaston told me when I had awaken that he found 6 polyps and removed them while I was asleep. I feel good and have been working towards changing my diet. Men 50 and over need to get checked out and I recommend going to Dr Gaston.

I went to see Dr. Gaston on last week, wait time wasn’t bad at all. But, found him to be very arrogant, it was like what can I do for you. Thought he would give me some guidance. Now, in fairly, I did know a lot about my condition, still thought as a doctor he would have given me some options. But, he has no problem talking about the 6,000 weight lose surgery. Not a mean doctor, just wasn’t all that caring.

My experience with MGC providing my colonoscopy was excellent!
Dr. Gaston & his staff were totally professional & considerate. Even the preparation period was an improvement over previous, similar procedures. Even the laxatives used during the preparation was superior to products previously used. I can enthusiastically recommend D. Gaston & GMC to any in need of such service. Julian Valentine

This guy has got to be the worst doctor on the planet. My experience was an absolute nightmare. I could of swore that I was having a bad dream before my visit. In his exact words he stated, "What are you here for? What do you want me to do? Whatever you choose will be on you because that's what you wanted." I was nearly in tears. I told him how could you leave it all up to me. I thought that you were the doctor and you would guide me to make the right decision. To make a long story short I told him that I did not want him touching me and that he needed to learn how to talk to his patients. I was
