Another passion of Dr. Jamal’s is the development of clinical research trials. This will open up new opportunities for our patients with specific GI diseases.

The doctor was great. When I arrived, the receptionist didn't have my appointment but worked hard to have me come at a new time.

I had to wait one hour for the doctor to show up. I had to go out of the room to ask how much longer I would have to wait. However, Dr. Jamal did take time to answer all my questions and discuss the reason for my visit.

This care provider is responsible for colonoscopy on a regular basis. There is usually a long wait should one need to schedule a consultation on issues other than colonoscopy. However, this provider is very effective in recommending diets that help solve my constipation problem.
Providence Patient
Excellent doctor.
