Penny S Turtel, MD

My husband is a patient of Dr Penny Turtel's as she did a colonoscopy on him about 2 months a go. When my husband called the office to make an appt, telling the receptionist he is in a lot of pain, she told him he has to wait 2 months to get an appt as he is not a patient of the dr's. When he told her he is a patient and had a colonoscopy just 2 months ago, she told him "that doen't count". How ridiculous is that? He called back the next day to have his records transferred to another dr. who would see him. They took the information and said it was fine, they would transfer his records.. Then he called the records dept and told them to cancel his appt. He spoke to Jo who asked him if he wants to reschedule and he told her "no", she asked why and he told her. She asked if the other person asked him if he would like to speak to the nurse and he said the option wasn't given to him. Jo said she would take care of it for him, he gave her all the information and we assumed she was a… caring person who would do as she said and take care of it. My husband then went for his appt, but when he arrived, he was informed Dr Turtel's office never sent the records. My husband tried calling Turtel's office and as usual, no one answered the phone. He got a recording that said to leave his info and someone would call him back. No one ever called back. What a shock! What kind of office is this where no one answers the phone or the receptionist thinks she's a Dr? I know drs tell the receptionist what to say and how to handle patients, but this is ridiculous. if you want a caring dr who will see you when you need them, DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE!

I was recommended to Dr Turtel from one of her employees for a second opinion. I was so sick with stomach pain and losing weight. For 5 years I was told I had IBS. Went to her and she tested me until she found something. I had stomach and liver cancer. She actually saved my life. She sent me to Drs at Mt Sinai . I love her. I send her all my friends and family. I’m forever grateful. Thank You Dr. Turtel

I met with Dr. Turtel for a second opinion and found her review of the facts and her questions insightful. She is one of the best doctors I have met with for my health!

Excellent care by Doctor and entire staff.

I'm at high risk for colon cancer. She's been my dr. for 25 years and I don't know what I'd do without her.

Doctor Turtel is the best and I would recommend her to everyone. She explains absolutely everything to you and makes sure that you understand. I have been going to her for years and hope to continue for years
