"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."

"All went extremely well! Thank you Dr. Golioto!"
"Dr. Golioto is the best in the field and makes you feel comfortable during every step of your journey. I feel safe and well cared for."
"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."

They also got me to do a much delayed colonoscopy and at the same time did an endoscopy to rule out anything serious."

The staff at the facility are also all professional, friendly, respectful and helpful throughout the preparation and day of the procedure."
"I had seen Dr Goldman for years and recently Dr Coll for the first time because of Dr Goldman’s retirement.

"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!"
"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."
"I have been a patient of Dr Greenwald for many years. Always feel well cared for. Questions are always answered. Concerns are always addressed."
"I like his friendly professional manner. I did not have to wait long for my appointment."
"Dr. Greenwald has been absolutely amazing. In our world today there are brand new doctors that FaceTime and provide medical diagnoses. My experience with Dr. Greenwald have all been in-person. Dr. Greenwald has been thoughtful in assessing any of my medical issues. I rarely write reviews, however, I felt it was important to share my experience for those who want quality medical services!"
"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.

"Dr Ianello and his office staff are the best. Quick response times, and you can tell they all care about your well being. I'm so happy I switched to Dr Ianello!"

"Such wonderful people in this office! Dr. Greenwald is so knowledgable and personable, and takes his time explaining things and why he does colonoscopies a certain way. The staff run an efficient office, and are so friendly!"
"Excellent doctor!"
"My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Gelwan for over the past 15 years or so. He is an extremely knowledgeable and professional physician who demonstrates genuine concern, caring and compassion for all of his patients. We feel very grateful and blessed to have him as one of our physicians."

"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."
"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."

"Staff very nice. Very nice experience."
"Dr Cappa is the Best! Professional and kind with a great sense of humor! Always takes time to meet with you prior to a procedure and answer any questions."
"Dr Abay, is an excellent and caring doctor. I would recommend him to any one with G.I. problems. The office staff is also great to work with."
"I have seen Dr. Gelwan for a myriad of issues! Each time I see him, he is kind, responsive, and always has a litany of ideas of things we can do to help me! I know I shouldn’t really enjoy going to see the doctor but he is kindness personified. He knows what he’s talking about and he only wants to help make things better. Cannot recommend him highly enough! Fabulous!"
"Excellent Physician!"
"Simply the Best!!!! Was able to resurrect me literally from the grips of Death itself!! I owe her my very existence and will always be eternally grateful!! Very professional and genuinely caring!!! This comes from a former Angel ...."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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!!!"
"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."
"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!!!"
"I was pleasantry surprised ... finally a Dr that explains clearly the options. Very professional an down to earth. highly recommended"
"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."
"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. 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."
"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 Dr. ! Knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to."
"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."
