My experience resulted in a Nissan Fundectomy which gave me relief from my severe GERD symptoms.Barrett's Syndrome was diagnosed and is being followed up by Dr Ketcher with regular exams and biopsies.I find her competent and interested in her patients.

After having some problems, I attempted to be seen by Dr. Ketcher, I was told it would be a month before I could get an appt. I was also told, just go to the ER, that physician will consult me and I can see you sooner this way. Unacceptable. I will look for a different physician even if I have to go out of town.

I recently had a procedure done by Dr. Ketcher. She could not have been more caring and professional. This was my second procedure done by her and I was very pleased and sastified on both occasions.

Dr. Ketcher is awesome and very pleasant to be around! Has taken great care of me several times. Very thorough and this is very important when you have a GI procedure.

I found Dr. Ketcher to be well informed regarding my G.I. problems and symptoms.Both upper and lower Endoscopic exams were conducted professionally and and diagnosis gave me a number of options, including surgery and referral to specialists in such surgeries.I was very pleased and continue to consult with her.

Dr. Ketcher needs to have her staff trained in patient relations. They are rude and uncaring.
