Steven D Gronowitz, MD

I wish I read some of these reviews before I got my colonoscopy with Dr. Gronowitz. He did my first colonoscopy. Days later, I informed him I had stomach pain and bloating. He immediately got defensive and had no interest in helping me. This was a red flag. So I visited another doctor who soon performed my second colonoscopy. He informed me too much air was left in my colon from the last one. DO NOT trust Gronowitz. And don’t believe the typical fake kiss-up review that will likely follow mine.

I cant say enough how disappointing this experience has been. I was supposed to have a colonoscopy. I get a call almost 5:30 the evening before the procedure telling me it was cancelled because my insurance hasnt authorized it. This was AFTER I was almost done prepping. The next morning, I get a call from the hospital wondering where I was. After trying to call the office for two days after this fiasco…no one has called me back. I decide to call the insurance company…and guess what, the office never submitted any paperwork for the procedure. (Big surprise). Every time you call the office, you can never get an actual person. Horrible, incompetent staff. Worst experience ever!!!!!!

I'd been putting off a routine colonoscopy for obvious reasons until I finally realized that I was being ridiculous. Once I met Dr. Gronowitz, he took the time to explain the entire procedure, including some of the variables that might occur and how I'd feel afterward. He answered every question that I had. By the time that I left the visit, I regretted not making the appointment sooner. He is my own internist's physician, so I feel confident about his expertise, and meeting him definitely gave me assurance that I'm in good hands. Everything about the experience, from making the initial appointment through the end of the procedure, went perfectly. This is a top-notch professional staff.

Here is my story...Initialy I saw Dr.Gronovitz 3 weeks ago to beg for help because since the food poisoning/stomach virus I couldn't stop vomiting and had severe stomach pain. That day I already had bloodwork done twice where is showed H.pylori positive. Dr.Gronovitz scheduled endoscopy for following week and sent me home . After the procedure I've been told that everything is ok. I need meds that will calm me down mentally, promised to call in a week and left. He called to say that now I have sucrase deficiency and I'll needs meds the rest of my life which insurance will NOT cover. He mentioned that he is not even sure if this causes my symptoms. The following day I called his office and left a message to call me back because stomach pain was extremely severe. He never called me back so I called again and told front desk girl my situation. Somehow I ended up crying because I was desperate for help. She told me come in a week !!!!!! I lost it.....after getting my Endoscopy results… reviewed by my pcp,it clearly showed that I have gastritis and H.pylori!!!!!!!!! I ended up going to urgent care in Bergen Regional Med.Center where doctors were in shock how come i never got anything prescribed for my symptoms. Dr.Gronovits might be a good doctor but PLEASE if you are in pain and need help asap- he is NOT the one you should visit!

Based on my personal experience, he is, in my opinion the most incompetent doctor I have ever encountered and should be avoided like the plague.

An amazing and compassionate doctor. He has helped me tremendously. There should be more doctors like him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great GI doctor. Not sure if he reads these or not, but if he does. Thanks Dr, Gronowitz

great manners always takes time to listen

I've been going to Dr Gronowitz for 11 years. He is a great doctor & spends time with each patient. Great bedside manner & compassionate. Very nice office staff.

Dr. Gronowitz and his staff are great caring people, will answer all your questions and take all the time you need! He was there when I woke up from my colonoscopy with the good news of my results. He even handed me a written report with color pictures! The facility he uses (Premier Endoscopy) on Brighton Road in Clifton is clean, modern and cheerful. Donâ??t think of going to anyone else!

The first visit was really great. He spends time with you, and he is willing to schedule whatever procedures are necessary to try to diagnose and cure your condition. The one negative was that upon coming to after my colonoscopy, he was gone. The staff told me that nothing turned up and that the doctor left. That was disappointing, as he had said he would be there afterwards to discuss the results. Even if there were no negative results, I was very unhappily surprised that he just took off.
