He's a great Doctor, but watch out if he gets angry. He has quite the temper. I for one will NEVER go there again!

I credit Dr Eglow with saving my life!!! I had been seeing another local GI doctor and they put me through numerous tests and kept coming up with nothing. Eventually they discovered I had HCV and after I did some research on the internet I chose Dr Eglow for my treatment based on his expertise in this area. I was floored by his knowledge and most importantly by his down-to-earth manner. He made me feel so at ease and comfortable and he had a straight forward approach that I really needed. I highly reccomend Dr Eglow especially for anyone going through HCV. He is definitely the best out there!!!
