First of all, I consider 4 stars to be very good. I had an exam with Dr. Sleesman at the Olentangy office of Ohio Gastroenterology. Everyone in this office is cheerful and pleasant. The two nurses who took my history, were also very thorough and professional. Dr. S. took time to answer my questions and was gracious. He was a bit brisk, but I was an add-in appointment at the end of the day and was grateful to be seen. I got a thorough report and instructions to take home with me. I felt Dr. S. had done a good job.

Dr Sleesman is my gastro. doctor. I am 73 and have seen a lot of doctors. He is by far one of the best doctors. He listens to you, talks to you,not down to you. He is never rushes and he is not afraid to say he doesn't have an answer and will refer you when necessary.

A couple of years ago I was experiencing extreme pain. I contacted Ohio Gastroenterology and met Dr. Brett Sleesman. Dr. Sleesman listened to my symptoms, had the right sense of urgency and discovered and resolved the issue in short order. He communicated with me regularly and even called me on a Sunday to discuss test results and get me through the surgery as expeditiously as possible. I recently saw him for a colonoscopy and as always he and his entire team were kind and efficient. I look forward to working with him for many years to come!
