He is very down to earth and awesome. Everyone else in the office is very nice. There are certain days when they have a Chinese translator which is an extra plus!

More about Dr. Craig Aronchick, MD
After practicing gastroenterology for 3 decades at the Pennsylvania Hospital what has become increasingly apparent is that the major university centers are positioning themselves to become a force to deal with when negotiating with insurance companies. This is certainly understandable given the unpredictable path of healthcare in the United States.
However, what is eminently clear is that for this to happen the doctors of the next several decades will become employees of these major healthcare conglomerates. I am concerned that this phenomenon will have a significantly negative impact on the doctor patient relationship resulting in further straining of an already stressed environment. Further and more importantly the changes in a doctor's orientation that will inevitably become apparent with employment may even affect patient outcomes, the very issue we are focused on improving.
I believe that preserving the doctor patient relationship is central to healing and health, and have decided not to become an employee of the major healthcare systems. The mission of Aronchick Gastroenterology Inc. is to provide expert care through highly skilled endoscopic techniques, accurate diagnostic capabilities and experienced therapeutic modalities developed through 3 decades of practice, all of this in an environment of personalized attention.

March 14, 2016Gamal M.Verified patient
The whole visit felt impersonal, from the surgery center office, to his bedside manner. I also didn’t appreciate the doctor referring to me as “Son”. He barely asked questions or examined me before pressuring me to schedule a colonoscopy.

September 27, 2017Gina G.Verified patient
Dr. Aronchick saved my life. He was the first doctor to take my symptoms seriously after almost 5 years of symptoms and no help from my primary care. He ordered a colonoscopy and endoscopy right away, and found stage III colon cancer. He referred to me to the best surgeon for the job. The continuity of care is unparalleled. He is a single private practice and you get care above and beyond what you get in larger offices with too many patients. LOVE Dr. Aronchick and could never thank him enough for saving me!!
July 4, 2017Sofia D.Verified patient
It was a great experience, Dr. Aronchick very professional and expert as well... The staff are very friendly and the health care providers are very professional and friendly as well.. Dr. Aronchick is highly recommended and also the Wills Surgical Center where I had my investigations done.

I have been a patient of Dr. Aronchick for over 30 years. He
is knowledgeable, attentive and a very good doctor, solving many difficult gastrointestinal problems for me. I highly
recommend him. And the fact that he uses Zoc Doc makes being
his patient all the better. I see what's available and can schedule my
appointment then and there.
June 30, 2016Bernice K.Verified patient

and there is hope. He made us feel so much better.
May 23, 2016David P.Verified patient
Dr. Aronchick correctly diagnosed and treated me for a healed gastric ulcer 26 years ago. So when the same symptoms grew more serious after a recent surgery, I went back to him. I had confidence in him in him then and do now.
April 18, 2016Merilyn J.Verified patient
Dr. Aronchick was very nice and asked rhe right questions. I was also able to quickly schedule further testing. But my appointment was at 1:30 and I was seen at 2:40pm.

He is an exceptional doctor and a compassionate human being. I've known him for 20 years and have always felt safe and cared for with every issue I've had.
December 2, 2015Virginia S.Verified patient
Dr. Aronchick is an incredible doctor. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable of his field; he is also highly concerned about the physical and emotional well-being of his patients and the effects an illness has on their entire family. He freely gives patients his cell phone number and encourages them to call or e-mail him with any questions/concerns. He cares a lot about his patients and it shows; it's truly a privilege to be under his care.
December 10, 2015Niraj S.Verified patient
Dr Aronchick listened carefully and made sure he understand my complicated medical history. I loved that he takes you personally from the waiting room into the exam room. He had sensible suggestions and I felt heard. He's my 6th gastro in Philly. And I will continue to see him.
October 28, 2015Madeleine S.Verified patient
Fantastic doctor, his bedside manner was very reassuring and he is very direct and to-the-point in discussing symptoms and going over treatment options and potential issues. I went in for a consultation and then for a recommended colonoscopy, he did the procedure and I felt very good the whole time. His instructions and follow-ups are excellent too, highly recommended.
