Welcome to Simply Screening and to our team.

What makes us different:

We'll always take the extra step.

We'll always take the extra step for our patients. We'll treat them with uncommon courtesy and constantly look for ways to exceed their expectations and goals.

We'll provide a haven for the things that count: honesty, courage, persistence, fresh ideas, laughter, and absolute integrity.

We will take the extra step. By doing that we will deliver extraordinary service, create a wonderful place to work, and achieve our goal: our recognition as the standard setter in gastroenterology.

Our Commitment to Our Patients:

Dr. Pat Raymond and her staff promise to:

  • Treat you with dignity and respect.
  • Listen carefully to your concerns.
  • Make you as comfortable as safely possible.
  • Keep our time commitments to you.
  • Return your calls promptly.

    • And most importantly,

  • Encourage your active participation and partnership in your GI healthcare.
Our innovative gastrointestinal practice combines the benefits of a nurturing and educational environment with optimum medical care.
