Patient reviews for Dr. Daniel L. Motola
I was definitely nervous walking in to the office. Once I got their the front desk ladies were very nice and helpful with filling out my information on an iPad. The office was clean and they provided water for the patients. I had to use the restroom before my appointment and it was very clean. I met the doctor in his office and he was great and went thru all my questions and explained what he can do to help. I took a blood test and the ladies were very nice! Once again I met with the doctor to explain why they were taking my blood and before I knew it I was on my way home. I would definitely recommend this doctor.
My visit was amazing! Dr. Motola was very informative when I described my symptoms to him. He knew exactly what I was feeling and was able to let me know what I was experiencing. He was very generous and knew his stuff. Gave me some good tips on how to control what I was feeling. Although I was talking to a doctor, it felt more like I was talking to a friend and thats the type of doctor he is. He was able to put my mind at ease and was able to give me straight up answers! Thank you doctor for everything. Definitely recommend to anyone experiencing gastrointestinal problems.
Great doctor, office and appointment. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Good staff, nice knowledgeable doctor
Very professional and thorough. Put me at ease.
The doctor is exceptional. The front desk person I met at initial check-in was a little cold and unfriendly (maybe having a rough day I don't know...) but EVERYONE else I interacted with was super helpful and focused on a great patient experience.
Dr. Motola was very attentive and detailed in taking down my medical history and listening to my specific concerns before suggesting several alternatives for treatments.
Wonderful doctor! Very thorough and really easy to talk with
Informative and approachable. Friendly yet professional approach
Staff was friendly. Wait time was very quick, and Dr Motola was great. He answered all my questions and was very reassuring. I'm glad I found him!
I've seen Dr. Motola twice now for issues related to a fatty liver, and he seems to be an excellent physician. I was seen on time on both visits, and I never felt at all rushed.
Excellent doctor
Great visit with Dr Motola. The offices were very clean and nice. I was greeted right away and then seen very quickly by the nurse and doctor. More information could have been transferred from my Zoc Doc checkin rather than having to write it again but still very quick and light paperwork. Dr motola quickly addressed my issue and I was out the door in no time.
Doctor is great. What really sucked was their borderline illegal software asking for social security and other things not required - software says it is optional but it is in small print and most people probably provide it. Also the system asks you to sign a bunch of terms and agreements that are in small print. One of them is agreeing to marketing from the software provider. Docs should know better than this.
Dr. Motola was truly helpful and took the time to explain things in detail rather than just skimming over them. He gave actionable suggestions for me to try straight away and explained the next steps clearly.
Dr. Motola is very thorough and caring. He takes the time to really listen, examines the diagnostic options and goes above and beyond in assessing solutions.
Very professional and thorough. He was clearly making a differential diagnosis. Very focused. Zocdoc wouldn’t let me skip the second and third categories- I don’t really care about waiting a few extra minutes.
Dr.Motola was professional but was really not helpful at all. He spent very little time with me and never got to the root of the issue.
Dr. Motola is amazing and so is his staff. I love coming here because there is almost no wait time and he takes his time with you to ensure you leave with all questions answered.
Great overall. Exceptionally clean and new office, and Dr. Motola is very nice. Was easy to be open and honest to him, whereas I haven’t had that with other doctors.
He was so nice and comforting.
Very pleasant MD and he’s patient-centered. Treats patients with utmost respect and dedication
Doctor has a great bedside manner.
He was thorough, pleasant and informative overall.
110% couldn't recommend Dr Motola more. He answered every single one of my questions in great detail. I felt comfortable while speaking with him and if I had an hours worth of questions - it wouldn't have changed our convo as he wanted to make sure I understood what we spoke about. We have a great plan moving forward and I couldn't be more confident in whose on my team!
He's a pro. No bs, no speculation, just purse science facts and methodological approach. That's how I like my doctors these days and you should, too.
He was very knowledgeable, would recommend.
Very nice, friendly doctor. He spent a reasonable amount of time with me and answered all questions I had. He is definitely very knowledgeable. He did not rush through the appointment and made sure I have options.
I was in a lot of pain and although I usually try to get a personal referral for a dr, in this case I was desperate and turned to ZocDoc. I scheduled the appointment at 10am for 12pm on the same day. I was seen right away. Dr Motola was very attentive, spent ample time with me, discussed my options and explained what might be happening. He sent me to do a catscan. My catscan was on a Friday at 4 pm, he got the results and called me right away at 5 pm on a Friday (I was sure i would have to wait till Monday to hear back). I highly recommend this practice and Dr Motola
Dr. Motola is patient, professional, kind, realistic and not an alarmist. He addressed my liver, digestive and gallbladder concerns logically after careful assessment of my symptoms and ordered the appropriate tests to establish proper treatment and rule out anything unnecessary or incorrect. I feel confident in his abilities and in his team. Everyone was very caring and communicative, I felt far less nervous than I did going in. Will return and recommend!
professional. listens patiently. explains in details.
He's really great. He's attentive and actually takes the time out to listen to you. You won't feel rushed or dismissed, as has been the case with many of the physician's we have seen before. The office is also very nice, and the staff all friendly and helpful. Would definitely reccomend to anyone.
Felt like he really listened to me and took the time to consider all my symptoms to come up with a well thought out plan of how to best move forward towards diagnosis.
Very professional and knowledgeable of my situation
He was extremely professional and made sure to clearly explain everything to me. It really seemed like he cared.
Dr. Motola is the best doctor that has ever seen me. I've never felt like someone actually listened or cared about my GI issues and he did. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. Will definitely make him my go-to moving forward. He made me feel comfortable and really tried his best to get to the bottom of things.
I was a wonderful experience. He took his time with me, very empathetic and professional and the staff very sweet and nice. It was truly pleasant.
Phenomenal doctor and medical care.
He didn’t examine me really, which was kind of surprising but had a good personality . I’ve had a very tough time lately and although he seemed sympathetic, I feel like more action needs to be taken
Dr. Motola and his staff are EXCEPTIONAL!!! They took VERY good care of me from start to finish...Thanks so much..
The doctor made me feel really comfortable and was real in what would work and what wouldn’t work discussion. Appreciate the honesty, excellent bedside manners.
Dr. Motola is very patient and answered every single one of my question. I strongly recommend him to other patients.
The place is clean and tidy. Doctor explained everything in details and care to the patient.
Professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Highly recommended.
Dr. Motola was very kind and listened carefully to my concerns, but our entire visit was less than 10 minutes in length and happened while I was sitting in his office. My visit did not include any physical examination (which has never happened to me before when visiting a medical practitioner), but this was my first time seeing a GI, so perhaps that is routine and I just didn't know.
Very professional doctor!
Everyone at Dr. motola’s office is pleasant and helpful. Dr Motola is clearly knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. He was great about tackling the issues I presented to him.
Amazing quick experience , diagnosed and on treatment by following day. Able to message with questions thru thier portal and get responses withing the day. DR. MOTOLA knows his stuff.
He is one of the most attentive and kind doctors I have ever been to in my life. He really genuinally cares about your well being and tries his best to find answers. He asked me very thorough questions and explained all of his thoughts in a very detailed way. He also called for follow ups and did not rush the conversation. He’s a great doctor and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Motola is amazing. I am so happy that I found him. I wish he could be my primary as well. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He listens to you, takes his time, and his info is spot on. I have been dealing with GI issues for years and have seen many. He is the first one that I put my complete trust in and the first one to actually be able to help me with one of my main issues. I am very grateful for that.
