Very sensitive to my health concerns and promptly prescribed medications to treat my problems. She listened intensely, ask pertinent questions, and discussed with me actions to take to get a resolution to my problems. These were, prescribing medications, ordering upper and lower scans and would keep me informed on the results of the scans and next steps. I felt ver comfortable discussing me problems with her and feel that she will keep me updated a the results. I feel ver confident with the actions she plans that will finally get to a resolution for this long time problem . I am so glad that she is my new doctor!

Dr. Ankrom seemed very nice and knowledgeable. I saw her for a consult on a colonoscopy so I can't give her a complete review until I have the procedure. It was easy to get on her schedule- probably because she is new- which I appreciated because my husband's GI doctor was booked months out. So far so good with her - I felt comfortable booking the procedure. I can give her a more complex review later.

Hematologist sent me to this GI doctor for test towards my acute anemia (possible microscopic bleeding). GI's concern my esophagus due to acid reflex. It seems that each doctor I visit detects another health issue but my severe anemia (my shortness of breath & and lack of energy) is not being the focused resolution for my anemia.

Doctor was very thorough and excellent with her care. I was dx quickly with a painful issue I have been dealing with for over 3 months and she was so efficient in writing me a script to remedy it and was so communicative with me regarding my diagnosis. She is an extremely responsive communicator, which is very helpful, especially when you are in pain and needing meds/care. I am very happy with her care and feel she has gone above and beyond.
