Craig Pepin, MD

Absolutely love Dr Pepin. I’m 30 years old and recently found out that I suffered a lifelong condition that I had no idea existed until I felt horrible symptoms. My PCP was able to get an emergency consultation in with Pepin and I had my procedure 48 hours later. Very happy, and I couldn’t say more positive things about the entire experience!

I love, love, love Dr. Pepin. He’s been my GI doctor for 7+ years. He is a perfect combination of knowledge and «bed-​side manner.» I have an auto-​immune condition that has been well managed since seeing Dr. Pepin. In the few times I’ve had severe flare ups (generally because I was behind on my meds), I’ve been able to get his opinion during off-​hours.

AWESOME Dr! He is very informative, not rushed, take his time with you and very kind!

Dr. Craig Pepin is an amazing doctor and I’d highly recommend him. 7 years ago I was diagnosed with a a liver condition and I saw 4 – 5 different doctors, all of them all to ready to just push me into a highly invasive treatment without treating the person, just the illness. Here’s your box of meds, 48 weeks of treatment, 50% of you will make it. Harsh, low odds, not a good option.
Dr. Pepin was the first doctor who did a deep analysis of condition and then instead of putting me on the imedical hamster wheel, we jointly decided to monitor the condition while at the same time monitoring the pharma breakthroughs for newer and better treatments.
Last year a new class of drugs came on the market cutting the treatment time down and doubling the effectiveness– NOW we were ready.
Dr Pepin didn’t treat me like patient xyz, he looked at me holistically and treated me as such. I’m 36 weeks in on my treatment now and well on my way to be cured and he’s been beside me every step of the way. He’s a great doc, but also a compassionate doc and I knowledgeable doc! 5stars plus

I had moderate stomach discomfort and Dr. Pepin was recommended by Seattle Magazine as a top gastroenterologist.
Dr Pepin ordered an expensive endoscopy, even though I had one relatively recently. Although he did not find anything overly disturbing he then recommended a fairly expensive ultrasound. The same day I had the ultrasound he phoned and told me to undergo a gall-​bladder removal surgery due to some stones being «present» (even though I did not exhibit symptoms typical of having gallbladder stones)
He recommended a surgeon from Polyclinic, which upon checking happened to be relatively a novice. So I end up self-​referring to a much more experienced surgeon in a different clinic. Upon carefully examining me, that surgeon was very reluctant to perform a surgery on me, due to the lack of symptoms present when someone has gallbladder stones.
She recommended I get a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist, who upon examining ordered a second ultrasound. The second ultrasound in the different clinic has shown no gallstones present !
When confronting Dr Pepin with this new fining, he told me he isn’t at fault for urging me to undergo a $ 30,000+ surgery, since he (blindly ?) relied on the ultrasound to come up with his recommendation (even though he ought to have examined me first for the conforming symptoms, instead of rashly urging me to go under the knife over the phone!).
He told me he gave me the «best possible care», and that I wasn’t «nice» for demanding at very least the refund of the initial faulty ultrasound. He also needlessly threatened to send me to the collection agency, even though his bills weren’t even past due and, as I always do, I fully intended to pay them even without any adjustments!

Had a procedure done here. Everything was very professional, well explained and performed. I’d go back again if it was needed.

I’ve seen Dr Pepin twice both times he was on time. He is very informative, not rushed and very kind.
