Dr Sam gave me a priority appointment and did a video consultation over the weekend. She is very patient, helpful and experienced. She also shared helpful information for future. And made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed.

Dr. Sam had probably the best bedside manner I’ve encountered in a doctor before. She was extremely kind, listened to my concerns and welcomed questions, and explained things rationally.

Extremely thorough and truly cared to what I had to say. I didn’t feel like she was rushing me out, as have been my experience with most doctors in the city. My favorite doctor so far. Very knowledgeable, kind, and caring! Highly recommend.

Dr. Sam was incredibly attentive and thoughtful in her recommendations to me as well as extremely cautious. Her nurses were also so caring -- I had been dealing with stomach/colon issues for nearly two months when I had come in for a visit and felt like there was a plan to help me from the first appointment onwards. I have been much better ever since going to Dr. Sam and her staff -- they are trusting and considerate of all concerns expressed. Definitely one of the best doctors I've ever had (coming from a family of doctors - this is huge!).

Dr. Sam was excellent! I was running late and she was so accommodating. She was very thorough and made me feel very comfortable. I immediately felt at ease with the environment and the tests she recommended. I’m looking forward to coming back next week for the results!
October 4, 2019Katie H.Verified patient
Dr Sam and her team are great! They have late hours, so I never had to take off work for an appointment. I've never waited more than 5 minutes, and best of the all Dr. Sam and her staff have incredible personalities amd treat you like a person first. Would highly recommend.
September 27, 2019Darnell S.Verified patient
Dr. Gina was so polite and personable! She made me feel comfortable even though I wasn’t feeling too well and was a little nervous. The office space is clean, quiet, and welcoming!

This was my first time seeing Dr Sam and she listened to everything I had to say describing my symptoms and she was very thorough in asking for details regarding my symptoms. We came up with a plan to alleviate my symptoms and I hope that her plan will work in the time between my next follow up.

Returning client. Dr Sam is amazing - kind, patient and knowledgeable. Came into her office totally distraught and she helped me figure out a treatment regimen.

Dr Sam was attentive and kind hearted. After months of being sick she treated me with compassion and was intentional about the way she communicated with me. I highly recommend her and her services as good Dr.s in NYC are few and far between
November 29, 2018Carlye A.Verified patient
She's very attentive and pleasant to talk to.
November 30, 2018Fatima B.Verified patient
Dr. Sam is so thorough and attentive. She runs so many tests so confirm your diagnosis. There are so many doctors that just assume things based on your symptoms but she really gathers as much information as possible before diagnosing you with anything. So personable and enjoyable to chat with. Will recommend to anyone!!!
November 9, 2018Nicole B.Verified patient
Dr. Sam is very knowledgeable with her speciality and very present when speaking to you about what possibly is going on with your GI issues. She is quick, friendly, able to answer question and give real feedback. I also didn’t have to wait for anyone and she is your direct contact without and hoops to jump threw.
October 21, 2018Dan NVerified patient
I never heard back re: follow up after she told me I needed to have an endoscopy. The office seemed disorganized there was no one around, I wander d into a room with a folding table, no receptionist. She came running out in flip flops to check me in and then went and change for the appointment. She was very prompt but did not order any tests and did not follow up on recommendations as she said her office would.

The assistant that greets you is a fantastic characteristic woman who is very caring and warm. She took the time out to chat with me while the doctor got her things ready to see me. The doctor then saw me and she was also very caring and took notes of everything i said. I would recommend this office and doctor to everyone.

I went to Dr. Gina Sams office because she listed herself as being covered by Aetna. Upon my first visit, she charged me my co-pay. However, after my second visit (to my surprise) I was informed that she actually is not covered by Aetna and I was charged both appointments.
I found Dr. Sam to be very nice and formal but I believe that this is completely unacceptable. What if I could not pay for it and I was relying on my insurance to cover for the medical costs? Why would they list themselves as being covered by multiple insurances when in reality they're not?
July 27, 2018Alejandra L.Verified patient
I had a great experience with Dr. Sam and staff. I was seen promptly upon my arrival. Dr. Sam was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. She took the time needed to to really understand the symptoms I’ve been having before providing her suggested next steps.
June 28, 2018John M.Verified patient
My visit with Dr. Gina Sam was very good. She asked several questions and genuinely seemed concerned with my issue. She took lots of notes and gave insight. She gave me a variety of things to help me until my procedure and next follow up. I would certainly recommend.

Dr. Gina Sam was very helpful with treating and diagnosing me for my issues. She gave me lots of resources and talked me through the whole process and her thinking which was very nice as a specialist.

Dr. Sam was really kind. She listened to all of my concerns and handled it accordingly. She also made sure to ask questions to further understand. The wait time was a little long but it was my first time there so that made sense. Had to fill out a lot of forms. Overall, great first visit.
