A very attentive and professional doctor gives to the patient time as much as necessary. Highly recommended.

Knowledgeable doctor who was honest and truthful. He took the time to listen to my complaints and did not push me to have further testing, just made recommendations.

My appointment was at 3:30. I was seen at 5:15. I was out of the office by 5:25. The doctor spent zero time with me. Offered me nothing for the issue I went to see him for. He’s a nice guy but I was very upset over this visit.
Long wait about 2 hours after making appointment. Then, a basic talk about my symptoms with a priority for scheduling a follow up exam. The drug prescribed was too expensive, so I ended up buying it OTc. It was a waste of time. We'll see if I need additional tests.
Verified patient
He did not seem to be taking my illness seriously. While I was worried, he kept making inappropriate jokes. Will not be coming here again.
Waste of time and money!

Doctor Gorodokin is an excellent GENTLE MAN I love the way he explained everything and gave me options to choose. I would recommend him to anyone anytime.
Verified patient
Dr. Gorodokin is an exceptional doctor, he listens & recommends what he thinks is necessary. He doesn't jump right into tests & procedures. His office is very nice as well you're able to have your own space in the waiting room & the wait time is only a few minutes. His M.A is very pleasant, as well as professional.
Verified patient
Dr. Gorodokin spent more time arguing with me about my choice to manage my condition with diet than addressing paths to wellness. He was quite egotistic and much too proud to actually empathize with me. If he took an oath to do no harm, he failed on all accounts. I left feeling sicker than when I walked in.
I had a horrible stomach pain for days and my primary doctor advised I see a GI specialist. I came to Dr. Gorodokin and explained my symptoms, and was told I needed an upper endoscopy to figure out what is going on. I had the procedure done a few days later and found out the reasons for my discomfort. Dr. Gorodokin explained the issue and advised what foods I should completely stay away from to prevent flare ups. Overall, I had a good experience. The procedure was painless, and I was back to work the next day.
Verified patient
I would not return to this center. I felt I was mistreated by the receptionist. The colonoscopy is done without general anesthesia in this doctor's small office with the assistance of a nurse only.
Unprofessional staff, doctor himself was late by an hour. Staff refused to understand what "All copays should be collected after deductible has been met." and insisted on me paying upfront. I refused. They took 45 min to call insurance company to confirm. Made appointment for 10am (receptionist insisted I made it for 11am until I got my phone out and showed her confirmation email from ZocDoc) left Dr office after 1:30pm. Never again.
excellent thanks dr gary and staff brian
