Dr. Taunk
Dr. Taunk has been my Gastro Doc for the past 15 years and his sincere, professional care has never waivered during the years. I would travel thousands of miles for his professional care, and will continue to recommend his services to any and all family, friends, and fellow athletes I meet.

Dr. Taunk
I wanted to take the time to share my experience with Dr. Taunk and his staff at Advanced Gastroenterology Associates. I had to have colonoscopy and endoscopy this year due to some discomfort issues I was having. The staff was very courteous and calming. Dr. Taunk was very professional and explained the procedures and outcomes to me. I am very happy with their staff and services and would definitely recommend him.

My husband, became Dr. Taunk’s patient in 1996. Because we found him to be thorough and extremely competent, I selected him when I developed symptoms covered by his specialty. He diagnosed two chronic conditions and explained the treatments. Over the years he has kept me functioning well. I really appreciate his complete explanations of both the conditions and the best treatment methods. Another plus in being his patient is his office staff. They are pleasant, courteous and helpful. I am very glad we learned about Dr. Taunk and happy to continue to be his patient.

Dr. Taunk
I just want to thank you ever so much for helping to improve my life. For the past two years, I have been suffering a series of gastro challenges. During that time, I have had many tests, consultations with several physicians and different treatments, none of them worked. After my initial consultation and single testing with you, I am pleased to tell you that the diagnosis and treatment that you selected has made all the difference in the world. Now, I can have a normal life. I am grateful to you and your staff.
