Went to him for chronic isolated stomach pain and vomiting. Did and upper endoscopy with found nothing, and told that all my symptoms were in my head and did no further testing. Never went back and I am currently being treated by a different doctor who is not dismissing my symptoms because of my mental health history. Do not recommend at all.

Dr. Accurso was both negligent and arrogant, providing not only the wrong diagnosis, but a dangerously inappropriate treatment and arrogantly dismissed my concerns and questions. I came in with symptoms of colitis. Instead of looking for cause, which I subsequently found out was Lyme disease (which was remedied by a swift course of antibiotics), Dr. Accurso put me on steroids, suppressing my immune system, which allowed my infection to get worse, and spread to other systems of my body. This guy is a nightmare. I am reporting him to the medical board. Do not recommend.

Dr. Accurso has been my gastro-enterologist for many years. The best bedside manner. Always returns my call, or has staff return my calls. Has helped me to manage my illness in good times and rough times. Great Doctor!

I recently had a colonoscopy screening performed by Dr Accurso. He and his staff made it a very pleasant experience. They were very courteous, and professional. Throughout the entire experience, I felt very confident that they were doing the best job possible.
