"Dr Kramer is 5 star for knowledge, service and responsiveness. I like his sensible approach to issues and he does not rush you out the door. I find the whole practice to be well managed and runs efficiently. I typically get an appointment quickly and the portal is great."
"Dr. Truncali puts the “care” in “healthcare.” I became a patient after feeling rushed and unheard at previous GI practices/doctors while dealing with a severe case of ulcerative colitis. At my first appointment with Dr. Truncali, she spent over 45 minutes listening to me, educating me, and having an open dialogue about my condition/care plan. I’ve had follow-up lab work and she proactively reached out to me with recommendations the same day that lab work was available. She responds to messages/questions very very quickly. Dr. Truncali truly has the best interest of her patients as her top priority. In addition, the office staff is kind, helpful, and actually answers the phone to talk to patients. If the staff says they will do something, it is done timely and with a positive attitude. I could not be happier with Dr. Truncali’s care or with the office/staff."
"Dr. Antony took the time to hear my concerns and did not rush through the subjective/history portion of the evaluation. So far his treatment has been successful."

"The front desk people are warm and welcoming. The nurse who took me in was pleasant and professional. Dr. JW was cordial & remembered my past experiences over the past two decades."
"I have been a patient of Dr Mauer for well over 25 years. He has always been very accessible and accommodating to my needs throughout this time. I've have had to have many tests performed over the years based on my condition and he has always prepared me for them, explained the process before the procedures and then followed up after recovery. He is always willing to listen to every issue and concern and provide insight on how to correct the situation. I highly recommend him and his practice to anyone needing his services."
"I am so glad that when I moved to CT that I found Dr. Coll. He is a very professional doctor and explains things clearly but, more importantly, listens to what his patients have to say. I have nothing but good things to say about this doctor."

I have already recommended Dr. Schamberg to family and friends and will continue to do so. I am so grateful to be his patient!"

"OMG! Dr. Smiley, is the greatest! He is extremely attentive and professional and explains any concerns you may have. He treat you with integrity and respect. Has a very comfortable up beat spirit and wonderful smile with a history of knowledge in the GI.... Can't go wrong. We indeed need more doctors like him that care enough about the patients and not just the compensation they are making. In the medical industry today is so hard to find doctors and medical staff that really care for the patient well being some are just in it for the paycheck as sad as it sounds. I understand everyone has to make a living but if you are in the medical industry it's because you supposedly a caring sympathetic and loving individual and really want to get people feeling well again. It's not an easy task in today statistic world that only numbers seem to matter rather the truth of medical care for the wellness of all patients regardless of their level in society. I recommend Dr. Smiley, highly for his compassion and dedication to his mission to help others maintain a well balanced healthy life style.... Thank you...."
"I don't think I've ever written a review for a doctor but I just have to say Dr. Smiley is one of the best. He really takes the time to understand what you're experiencing and asks all the right questions to really get to the bottom (no pun intended) of what's causing your symptoms. I told him he's like a detective! Relentlessly in pursuit of answers and a diagnosis. He's friendly, approachable and patient. The only negative is that he's too popular and it's difficult to get an appointment with him at times!"

"Dr. Khaghan was so easy to count on. Her calm demeanor and very obvious knowledge in her field made me so confident in my procedure. She had to perform an ERCP to clear my bile duct of gallstones and she made me feel safe and at ease. It all went so smoothly. For symptoms that came out of nowhere, to her office visit, to seeing her in the hospital… I truly could not ask for a better GI. She was a gift in this whole experience of gallstones."
"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Schoenfeld’s for years and am currently experiencing health issues whose affects carry over to my digestive system.
