1:00 appointment. I was seen at 1:05. The Doctor took his time to explain everything and he answered all my questions.

This never happened before.

November 26, 2013David L.Verified patient
He's a friendly, competent doctor but his staff overbooks so a 2 hour wait is the norm.

Dr. Siegel was excellent and made me feel comfortable.
January 17, 2019Kaori K.Verified patient
Howard did not really understand my situation. He also fell asleep/nodded off 3 times while I was speaking, and when he came back to, it seemed as though he forgot our place in the conversation and didn't really hear what I had said. He made me feel as though I had more issues than I think I really have, mainly revolving around him constantly bringing up rehab. I appreciated not being pushed into thinking I had to buy a prescription or pharmaceutical but truthfully I am a healthy person, generally happy, and I have a realistic and navigable path forward in my life. I didn't appreciate being talked to like I wasn't.

First time visit: was seen by staff quickly. But then it took ages for basic questions, that I was asked several times by different people until then doctor came in and asked the same questions (some took notes digitally, others on paper). Doctor asked me and wanted to discuss a ton of unrelated questions & issues about the world, which made the visit even longer. I had called before to ask about getting a specific treatment, which was confirmed to be possible. On-site I was then told the treatment actually was not possible and I had to go and see a specialist. Was there a total of 1.5 hours, only to not get what I actually came for.

Dr. Siegel is old-school and awesome. Thank you!
February 17, 2024Samuel B.Verified patient
Extremely disorganized set up. They had me wait for over 2 hours and admittedly forgot. Unfortunately the doctor I booked w is aging so I think his successor was tasked w my verbal questionnaire. Dr Siegel appeared to be swaying like he was going to fall during the visit, I was worried. The nurse tried to draw my blood 4 times in one arm then stopped -no problem here this is my usual experience, threw out her gloves to give me a rest before trying the other arm. Changed gloves, walked out of the room to consult another doctor/patient, came back into the room, started on my other arm w same gloves. I had to ask her to change her gloves. She seemed a little embarrassed and apologized and changed them again before proceeding.
Overall, everyone was nice but every person I interacted w that wasn’t a doctor was seemingly struggling to stay organized/calm. It was so chaotic. They said they’d send my blood tests to quest for the phlebotomist to draw my blood but they never did.

Dr Siegel was wonderful, he asked several questions and listened to my complaints in detail, talked about several options and explained our path going forward clearly. I felt very safe and informed while interacting with him. Besides being extremely knowledgeable and having a vast experience, he is very attentive, caring and diligent. Highly recommended.
March 6, 2023Sevki Erhan E.Verified patient
Avoid. Dr Howard Siegel. Went in for a simple prescription and to engage a primary care provider as part of a healthy regime.
Argumentative. Condescending. Arrogant. 30mins late. He made it clear he knows best. On everything.
Disappointing.

My favorite Doctor
October 22, 2021Sylvia S.Verified patient
The office sent me a summary of what information was on file. Some of it was outdated but there was no way to edit it online
The doctor is very kind and patient. He is very knowledgeable in the field of gastroenterology. The wait time is more than an hour They overbook, but at least the temperature in the waiting room was comfortable and it's quiet.
July 7, 2021Esther M.Verified patient
The doctor might be overbooked. The wait time is terrible and staff were not prepared. They were not aware that I have been a doctor in the same office and did not pull out my information before the doctor's seeing me.
March 24, 2021Ching-ching L.Verified patient
Great Doctor, compassionate and courteous. The organization was a mess though. I waited over an hour to be seen and then it was a confused process of being moved from one room to another with no one seeming to know what was going on.

I always enjoy seeing Dr. Siegel. He’s relaxed and friendly and encouraging where he needs to be.
He’s very professional and knowledgeable in many areas. He puts me at ease.
December 4, 2018Enid M. N.Verified patient
I went to see the doctor for a second opinion. The office staff was polite and professional. Before I was done filling out the forms I was called in by the nurse and then saw Dr. Siegel right away. He took his time to listen to me carefully, review my medical reports and gave me all the information that I was looking for, including literature to read for. I was very impressed by his knowledge and attention.

Dr. Siegal was incredibly inquisitive and a really great listener. He heard my concerns and responded to them very reassuringly. His examination was thorough which made me feel in food hands. I highly recommend him.
June 13, 2017Jonathan N.Verified patient
Dr. Siegel has been my doctor for over 15 + years. I have recommended him to family, friends and co-workers and they all have only good things to say. My only concern is that the check-in sheet that is on the counter asks for an e-mail address and I felt uncomfortable with providing information that everyone who checked in after me was going to see. Also, I was asked for my insurance card which was copied, yet, I was asked to fill out
forms that requested the same information found in the card and the other information requested in the form, they should have on file. I am not a new patient and it was mostly annoying to have to repeat information that I have provided before.

April 30, 2016Marc K.Verified patient
I've been to many, many physicians in my lifetime, some good and some not so good. But my initial consultation and visit with Dr. Siegel was truly remarkable. He has so much experience in the field that I knew I'd found the right man, but his warm and friendly manner was what really made the visit so memorable. For although he had to perform a battery of not so pleasant tests and procedures on me, he made it such an easy and supportive experience... well, let's just say that I left feeling that not onIy did I find a exceptionally skilled physician, but a good friend. He's tops. Book an appointment for yourself and see what I mean.
April 9, 2013Robert K.Verified patient
Dr. Siegel was smart, thoughtful and patient. I never felt rushed, but the wait to see him was excessive; he was late getting to the office, so my 8am appointment didn't start until after 9. He's an older doctor, so while he has a ton of experience and is intelligent and personable, he's also starting to show the signs of his age.

I was very pleased with Dr. Seigel. He was very professional,friendly and caring. I felt very secure with his treatment and manner. I am very happy that I called him.

Dr. Siegel took his time to listen and ask questions. The visit was great. I really felt my issues were addressed. Downside was the wait time before seeing him. Waited 45min.
