Patient Reviews
Feb 07, 2017
Dr. Bienvenu has an incredible bedside manner. His staff at the clinic and endoscopy center are top notch. With such a sensitive and testing, you can fully trust Dr. Bienvenu and his staff. We have to travel out of town for our daughter's Ulcerative Colitis and I have always dreaded the day we would graduate from that practice and see an adult doctor locally who I trusted just as much as her doctor, but I have found someone! Very pleased!
