I haven’t been to several other gastroenterologists locally and by far this is the best experience I’ve had. Dr. Kauffman was very attentive, listened to my issues and came up with a plan for treatment that others could not. I definitely would recommend Dr. Kauffman

The staff was very friendly. Dr. Kauffman was great. He listened to me carefully and explained everything so I understood it. He started me on treatment and I have been feeling better now than I have been in years. I would highly recommend Dr. Kauffman.

This doctor NOT want to hear it when I told him that a nurse detected an abnormality (over-contraction) during the manometry test, & proceeded to flat out deny it, & because he didn't see cancer or MS it must certainly be.... Wait for it: globus. Yes. NOTHING else. And is now wanting to treat it as a psychological issue- that NOTHING is wrong with me (& he did say that).. Needless to say.. I do not appreciate being made to wait literally over a month only to be fed this non-information. Also.... Who wouldn't have anxiety issues after having lived with.... Well, really any ailment (be it mental or physical)? In all actuality though I guess I shouldn't be all too surprised- as he was not the most feeling person- as a matter of fact seeming too busy priding himself on thinking it was all in my head along with repeatedly trying to talk over me. Now I could be wrong about this, but I'm thinking that most people would not want to go back to a doctor like that, but then again maybe I'm… wrong since I just very well might be.... Mental- along with anyone else who might agree with him.

Since he does not consider taking what I say into account.... So if you do not care to be treated in such a manner he might not be for you as well........

He listened to me and explained the plan answering all of my questions . When I followed up with him to go over my test results he explained everything thoroughly. His staff was very helpful and friendly. Great experience

Easiest procedure I've ever had--just like I'd taken a really, good nap and then woke up--all done!

Ive been having DR Kauffman for my GI for a couple years now. First he has NEVER been able to give me diagnosis. When I have been in pain and requested an appointment the appointment is ALWAYS 20 days or more of a wait, then the day before or sometimes the day after im told that my appointment has been canceled. And im told to go to the ER where everyone treats me like a drug addict! The last time I got to actually see someone at DR Kauffmans office it was with an arrogant RUDE know it all PA that also treated me like _____! The last appointments I have had with this DR. have all been canceled by HIS staff. Yesterday I get a certified letter telling me im no longer allowed to be seen by him or anyone in there network because I missed an appointment!?! ARE THESE PEOPLE SERIOUS?????!!!!! I plan on reporting this with the board of medicine.
