Dr. Patt is an amazing doctor and all the staff who work with him are great. Thank you!!

Dr. Lee is personable, compassionate and is most definitely an expert in her field. I was a bundle of nerves going in to my appointment and came out so relieved that I had found an outstanding GI doctor. She spent a lot of time with me and answered all of my questions–I had a lot. I have seen Dr. Lee twice and I am so glad that she is a part of my medical journey.

I have worked in hospital healthcare for many years. I have never met a doctor more committed to my care. She had a calm presence, and she sought to ensure that I had a complete understanding of the route that she was going to take to get to the bottom of my problem. I trust her. She has embraced the lost art of caring for people. South Denver GI is blessed to have her on staff.

To say I am a tough patient to wrangle into a medical office, let alone an operating room would be an understatement. I have some good reasons but Dr. Lee not only set my mind at ease but she arranged a team that worked with my phobias. She was amazing. It finally clicked just before I had the anesthesia. She was AMAZING with such empathy, and I was a very lucky person to have someone so very thoughtful as well as a total professional. Thanks will never be enough, I will just have to be a good patient instead.

Dr. Le is the best doctor I’ve ever been to. He took the time to explain in-depth (and in basic kindergarten terms) why I had difficulty swallowing and gave me several options for treatment. I could tell he was looking out for what made most sense over the most expensive option right away, which I sincerely appreciate as a young adult. I’ve been trying to treat my issue for years and Dr. Le is the first to know exactly what is happening and have a treatment plan. Highly recommend him to anyone experiencing GI issues!

Dr. Le is AMAZING! He has treated me with kindness and respect. He is so knowledgeable and helped me so much with my IBD in the short amount of time I have worked with him. I feel so lucky to have met him and gotten treatment from him. I would recommend him over and over! Thank you Dr. Le!!! You have given me my life back!

Dr. Le has a way of making you feel like you are his only patient. He takes the time to understand the issue, your concerns and explains his methodology of solving the issues. I highly recommend Dr. Le for the way he treats and interacts with his patients. You can feel confident that you are getting the best care. Thank you, Dr. Le!

I don’t even know where to begin. Dr. Kovalak can’t be beat. She’s the ultimate best.

Dr. Kovalak is an excellent physician, she is very thorough and was familiar with my medical history. She explains things well and answered all my questions. She explained the next steps to determine my diagnosis and why the procedure was needed. My procedure results indicated she was correct about her predicted diagnosis.

I am a new patient of Dr. Fairbanks and I truly admire and respect this physician. She took all the time I needed to have my questions answered. I find Dr. Fairbanks extremely polite, caring, honest and personable, and I have put my personal GI issues in her hands. I trust whatever she tells me and hope to have my GI issues resolved soon. Thank you, Dr. Fairbanks, for being you.

I recently saw Dr. Fairbanks for some GI issues that I have been experiencing for approximately 2 months. I found her to be highly personable and was comfortable with her from the very beginning. I appreciated how she seemed really engaged with me and took the time to ask me a lot of questions. It was very apparent that she was knowledgeable and confident in giving me her professional opinion on my condition. What I found touching was how she acknowledged the expense of tests and stated that rather than ordering a lot of expensive tests right off the bat, she recommended that I start with the one test that she felt might confirm her suspected diagnosis. I left the office with a plan of action and regardless of the test results, I feel in really good hands with her. On a side note, her MA Leslie was also friendly, helpful and competent. I really had a great experience for it being my first time as a patient at South Denver GI.
