"I am very grateful that I was able to see Dr. Cipolla. As a young man many of my stomach issues are overlooked by other doctors, thinking it may just be IBS, but Dr. Cipolla took the time to listen to all of my symptoms and decide the right course of action. Knowing I had a vacation upcoming she was able to get me in for the proper tests as soon as possible and was able to provide a diagnosis and medication that should help my somewhat debilitating symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Cipolla."

"Everything went well except for the fact that Dr. Hemacha was very impatiently waiting for my admission to be done. He was pacing and then ask the CRNA to come and start my IV.

"Dr. Einstein is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met. He spent well over an hour explaining all the particulars of cirrhosis, what my scores on various tests meant, and my risks for various treatments, not just liver, but other operations as well. I have had cirrhosis for 7 years and no doctor has ever taken the the to explain all this in depth to me. Also, he is friendly, has a great sense of humor and even conversed with my boyfriend who seemed more interested in giving him good routes on the highway. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would not only like a board-certified doctor, who is brilliant, but who is looking for an honest, in-depth understanding of their disease and the treatment’s available, as well as the repercussions of continuing poor lifestyle habits."

The staff are always friendly and caring and have always followed up to make sure I am doing OK the next day."
"This was my 4th or 5th colonoscopy performed by Dr. Frese, and as with all the previous procedures, he and his staff were excellent. He always greets you before the anesthesia for any question you might have, sees you in recovery and calls a couple days after the procedure to go over results if polyps were removed. The staff at the facility are also all professional, friendly, respectful and helpful throughout the preparation and day of the procedure."

"My appointment was timely scheduled convenient and met with care and understanding by Dr Golioto and the staff."
"I’ve been suffering with GI issues from the start of pandemic in March 2020 and didn’t go to see a GI until April 2021.

"Dr. Greenwald and his office staff, plus the nurses @ L&M hospital were all wonderful."
"My experience with Doctor Ianello & his staff was top notch. They were all knowledgeable, efficient & courteous. Doctor spent an adequate time with me the week before, just prior to & after the procedure to make sure I felt comfortable with the entire process. His staff the morning of the procedure at the surgical center treated me like family. I would recommend him highly. Get him to be your doctor before he retires. Plus, my results were favorable which made me happy."
"I recently had my very first colonoscopy. I met with Dr. Ianello via Zoom due to COVID restrictions. He was informative, patient and kind. My procedure was completed at the Bloomfield Endoscopy Center. All staff were professional and I was treated with respect.

"Excellent doctor!"
"I was so pleased with my experiences in Dr. Moy's office. His staff were pleasant and efficient. Dr. Moy took plenty of time to discuss my health issue. He was thorough and despite there not being an easy answer, he came up with a plan that made sense and actually surprised me. I have felt dismissed by physicians in the past, which often kept me from going to the doctor, but this experience was very much the opposite. He validated my concerns about costs as I have a high deductible. He communicated with me shortly after the results of my tests, without my having to wait. I'm thankful to have found Dr. Moy."
"Excellent all the way around. Nice people. Nice information packet, website portal sign up, communication and other administrative stuff. The Sutab prep was easy to use, much better than my last time with a gallon or two of the other solution. The procedure actually went on time if not a little early, so no unnecessary waiting around. They knocked me out, but I presume the procedure went smoothly. The results came fast and were explained properly. My only recommendations would be to condense the instructions down to a one page outline, as it took me a while to figure out you had to start watching your diet a week in advance, then do stuff 30 hours ahead, then a day ahead, then the day of. It was all there, but it was easy to miss one of the steps. Also, the Sutab was incredibly expensive at $180 on Medicare, $140 on GoodRX/Walmart. But when I complained, it somehow magically got reduced to $50, which is more reasonable, but should be zero for a major preventative procedure like this. Thanks again to Dr. Moy and his staff! See you in 10 years."
"I had a great experience with Dr. Moy, as great as you can when you have a colonoscopy. The procedure went smoothly and Dr. Moy was friendly; he explained both the procedure and immediate results clearly and succinctly. I have been his patient before and am 100% satisfied. A terrific doctor!"
"Recently saw Dr. Chaletsky at DKH. Since he had done a previous procedure I knew that he would be the person I wanted. I would recommend him to anyone in the DKH area."
"He spent a lot of time with me. He has a gift for simplifying complexity. He then provides directions in a straight forward, and easily remembered way. You know what to try and how to safely monitor the results."
"Dr. Hall and her entire staff listen, communicate and care about me as a patient. They stay on top of my medical needs and keep me informed of what & why something is needed. They consider what is best for me. Thank you, Dr. Hall, Michele, Heather & Denise Have a very safe, healthy, Blessed Christmas"
"Everyone was friendly and helpful."
"Best Gi physician around! Alway caring not only to the pt but to the family. Goes out of his way to make sure to make sure you understand everything."

"Good doctor I don’t feel any pain after the colonoscopy"
"Dr. Cipolla and her staff were very kind. I was a little worried about the procedure, they reassured me that everything was going to be fine. That made my experience smooth. Before the procedure she informed me what was going to happen and the after care. Everyone was great!"

"Was nervous for my first procedure. Dr. Moy was friendly, straight to the point and clear with his communications. Would recommend him to others."
"No problems but I expected to get the biopsy results through the patient portal in a few days. It is now ten days after the colonoscopy and I have not gotten any biopsy results. I also would have appreciated the doctor speaking with me after the procedure instead of just a written report with pictures. There is a lack of communication between the person making the appointments and the facility carrying them out. I was told I couldn't take any of my medications the day before but when I called the facility directly, I was told I could as it is also listed on the GI website. Overall, though, it was a pleasant experience once I got past the evac day."
"Dr. Bloom is the best, first Doctor I've had that listens to me. If I'm right or wrong he'll tell me and he doesn't mind if I question him. What Doctor does that!! It's a match made in heaven!!"
"Dr. Jo explores all the possibilities as he searches for solutions. He is thoughtful and engaging. I look forward to meeting with him because I know I’m working with an excellent doctor."

"My experience with Dr. Chaletsky has always been great. He really listens to my situation and then thinks it through to find a solution and spends a generous amount of time with me if needed. I find him to be a caring and understanding Dr. who is also open to my questions and possible suggestion."
"Since I am no longer a senior but an elderly woman, I feel I can say that I have adequate experience to conclude that Dr. Einstein is the best of the best! He is confident in his discipline, patient, kind, professional but most of all assuring and comforting. I have never heard a negative word about him from others and the respect and trust I have in him cannot be measured...there are just not enough stars!!! Without reservation I recommend this brilliant and humble doctor to any and all. They, like I, will be better for having him oversee their care. Most sincerely, Jerry Dean they, like I"
"Dr. Gelwan was great! He is very kind and reassuring, I have never had these procedures before and was very nervous but he walked me through everything and made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Would highly recommend!"
"Using Zoom, could not see Dr Hall on my device. I suspect it was an issue with my phone, wifi, app, etc. Otherwise, good experience."
"Just wish he would tell me what's wrong with me instead of saying nothing. He also, tells you he will get back to you and does not. His staff is not always on top of things."
"My gastro died so I needed to find a new one. They scheduled me with Dr Anjou and her pleasant yet knowledgeable bedside manor immediately put me at ease. My procedure was a relatively intimate one and the experience ended up being as pleasant as it could be and I now have a new gastro. I would recommend Dr Anjou to anyone. 🙂"
"Very nice to talk to. Discussed procedure with me and did a followup visit. Would highly recommend."
"Excellent doctor! Dr. Castillo explains and answers all questions asked. Dr. Castillo cares for his patients. I could tell he (Dr. Castillo) loves what he does and that's being a Doctor."
"I had a very good experience with Dr. Cobrin. She explained everything to me and gave me time to express my concerns and ask questions. I also thought the staff was very nice. I get nervous in all clinical settings and she made me feel comfortable. Strongly recommend."
"Dr Gelwan is an amazing doctor he will never give up on you until he finds out the problem God bless him"
"Best of the best."
"I had a great experience with Dr. Bloom! He actually figured out what my gastro issues were being caused by and how I can effectively take acid reducers to control it- AND IT WORKED! He sat and listened to me, really heard me, was knowledgeable and well informed and I felt comfortable and well cared for. I am endlessly thankful for this Dr as he made my life bearable again! I was sick 3-5 days of the week- at work, in the car- everywhere. I was taking the meds but apparently wasn’t taking them properly. Once Dr explained how the meds work and advised best time and way to take them (and after doing some checks and tests)- it was like with a snap of the fingers and I was better! Now I have my GERD under control and have been able to decrease the frequency of taking my acid reducers. Thank you, Dr Bloom and staff!!!"
"I cannot understand how she could receive negative reviews. She was extremely sweet, caring, warm when I went to see her for a GI issue. I wish all my providers could be like her. Highly recommend Dr. Hall."
"Dr. Hemacha, you may want to consider some staff changes. In addition, at times, it’s a pain to get prescriptions refilled at your office. Refills can go unfilled for weeks and weeks - as a patient, I have to call over and over again. Sometimes, a stop into the office is the only choice. The young lady from Europe/Middle East is excellent and she does care about her work."
"I was pleasantry surprised ... finally a Dr that explains clearly the options. Very professional an down to earth. highly recommended"
"I went to Dr. Bloom because of acid reflux. Office staff were accommodating and Dr. Bloom took a lot of time with me. Wound up having Dr. Bloom perform an endoscopy. Bedside manner was excellent."
"Dr. Chalesky is very nice he listens to your issues and tends to them. He is currently working with me on my Barrett’s esophagus. Thanks!!!"
"Kind, caring, and well spoken Doctor who listens, explains things/steps (in detail) and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and important. A genuinely nice person who takes his job/profession seriously. You will be in good hands with Dr. Chaletsky. His personal assistant also pays attention to detail and shares Dr. Chaletsky's interest in putting the patient first. I like him, and I am sure you will too."
"Dr. Jo is the best GI doctor I have seen and I have lots of stomach issues He takes his time and listens."
"Dr Cappa was very friendly, taking the time to speak to me before a routine colonoscopy and answer all my questions before being put under, this despite the office being clearly busy with a half dozen patients. A striking feature of the office is how engaging the staff is. Everyone makes it a point to allay any apprehension patients might have. Nurse Leslie in particular was exceptionally warm and helpful. The office is 40 minutes from where I live, but there is no other place I would consider going to."
"Great Dr. ! Knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to."
"Dr Micharl Golioto has been a patient and caring Dr who has been unwilling to giveup in a search for relief with an ongoing gi issue"
"Great team that knows their stuff. Usually have await but they take their time with you"
"Very compassionate, caring doctor. Took my insurance. Spent a lot of time with me and took my concerns seriously and scheduled testing for me immediately."
