Dr. Putka performed a colonoscopy on me today. I found him to be kind, caring, thorough and professional.

After waiting several weeks for an appointment, I felt like this guy was someone found off the street. Didn't seem to have gastro knowledge or care about my symptoms. I was surprised to see other comments with similar message. He's a loser.

$10,000 and six months later, no diagnoses or treatment. As a college graduate myself, I cannot fathom how "Doctor" Putka graduated medical school.
