Came after hospitalization with persistent acute pain. Had to PRESS him to prescribe labs. Unable to help at all and not interested in your problems (was more interested why I came to see him instead of my previous doctor; definitely ready for retirement and should not practice anymore). Avoid at all costs. Don't believe anyone who tells you this is even a competent GI office.

Abysmal. Came after hospitalization with persistent acute pain. Had to PRESS him to prescribe labs. Unable to help at all and not interested in your problems (was more interested why I came to see him instead of my previous doctor; definitely ready for retirement and should not practice anymore). Avoid at all costs. Don't believe anyone who tells you this is even a competent GI office.

Assistant extremely patient and the doctor appears exceptionally knowledgable and responsive. The scheduling person also goes beyond her scope of work to take good care of grumpy people in pain. Overall first impression is that this is a perfect place for someone in trouble!
