Dr. Gaskari was excellent! He far exceeded my expectations. It was very apparent that he took the time to review my previous records prior to my appointment. He checked in multiple times to ensure I understood all topics covered and I didn't have any further questions or concerns. He had great bedside manner, was pleasant and courteous. His medical assistant was just as great but I do not recall his name.

On the day of my colonoscopy, which l had waited for 9 months to have scheduled despite the issues l was having, l was able to restrain myself when told that l needed to seek the further needed testing as soon as possible. I did so without asking the question in the forefront of my mind: "You mean in less than the 9 months it took to get this appointment?". I will say that since my colonoscopy and the start of the discovery of some of the extant issues going on with me the care l have received from Dr. Gaskari's office has been exemplary. They have been available for concerns and questions throughout the process.
