June 18, 2025Robert D.Verified patient
I had high expectations for this appointment because of all of the positive reviews, however I did not have the same experience as past patients. Dr. Morgenstern interrupted me multiple times as I tried to explain my symptoms and rushed through questions about my symptoms. However, the office staff couldn't have been nicer, specifically Maria and Michelle. If not for them I would have been extremely disappointed.

It was my second visit not to say I did have my colonoscopy with this doctor two years ago, so maybe you would say third visit. This is a highly professional awesome doctor. I’ve already recommended him to several and I wouldn’t do that unless the doctor walked on water, which Dr. Morgenstern does. I’m so grateful for him.
