It was amazingly comfortable for me to talk about "poop and parts" with this person--a total stranger to me.

Absolutely one of the best Medical professionals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I wish she could be my primary physician.

Dr. Makled blew my expectations away. I currently have many referrals and about 6-7 different specialists. I always feel rushed or blown off because I have been experiencing varying medical issues for over a decade. Dr. Makled was SO kind and so informative and patient and made me feel so comfortable talking about uncomfortable topics. She pulled up my labs and discussed absolutely everything she could think of and addressed every aspect from every POV, even in regards to specialties that are not hers. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor and am grateful I was blessed to have such a positive medical experience.

Dena knew exactly what to do for my condition. She spelled out options, was an excellent listener and clear communicator. She seemed unhurried and was personable and caring.

Always a pleasure working with you.

We are grateful for Deana and for Huron Gastro. I am doing much better, thanks to them!
