Dr. John J Imbesi, MD

Without permission, he lifted up my dress to expose my stomach and started pressing down on it, hard. And without gloves.There was no warning or mention of him needing to do a stomach exam whatsoever. I still would've felt uneasy with him lifting up my dress, but it would've at least prepared me to have known what was going to occur. He pushed deeply into my stomach. Immediately, I make noises of discomfort and tell him that part is very tender. He does it again to a different area and I have the same response: noises of discomfort and telling him that part is tender and the area that's causing me discomfort. He then proceeds to push deeply down through my entire abdomen area, including the lower abdomen/pelvic region. He did it around six times before switching to a new technique. It felt like he was softly punching me with a flat palm. The pressure was immense. It was painful. With every motion he did, I let him know that it was uncomfortable, that it was sensitive, and made noises… of discomfort. That was not enough for him to stop. I had to physically move my body away from him and tell him okay, the lower abdomen area is very tender because I'm on my period right now. He awkwardly stopped. There was no mention of his findings from this stomach exam, and no explanation as to why it was given after we had already agreed upon a course of treatment beforehand. I spent the rest of the day in bed with worse stomach pain than I had gone in with, and have both sharp and dull pains in my right hip region. I have a previous medical issue with this area being torn open six months ago, and I fear this doctor has torn it open again, after months of slowly healing. If he had given me a heads up, I would have let him know about that area so he could avoid it. But he didn't listen to my complaints of pain, nor did he give me advance notice of the stomach exam. I am considering my next course of action regarding this matter.

Dr Imbesi is a kind,skilled doctor I would highly recommend

I've had 3 or 4 colonoscopies with Dr, Imbesi and can't sing his praises loud enough. His gentle manner, easy of talking to and his explaining everything so clear makes the whole process simple. I actually look forward to having the procedure done. In fact I am scheduling my next one for this year.

Honestly I have never been treated so poorly as I was with his office staff. They are non-responsive, seem annoyed when you call for something and basically do not let you know if the dr is even there or will be late. I will never return here.

You must follow-up on the office staff. I was moved from room to room and never told the dr. would be over an hour late.

Very trusting, caring and intelligent.

I have been going to Dr Imbesi for 3 years now and have been completely happy with his professionalism. He is an excellent doctor and would recommend him to everyone I know.I have been in hospital and he is always on time answers all your questions and is very patient.
