“I had an issue where the front desk was not aware of my appointment but after a little back and forth, they accommodated the visit - which I greatly appreciated due to the nature and urgency of the issue. The office mainly deals with “weight loss” issues according to the front desk staff. I was initially seen by another gastroenterologist, Dr. Michael - who asked questions and did the main exam. His information was helpful but it did seem a bit rushed. Overall OK. Dr. Batash came in after to take another look and do his own exam, which was also appreciated and it showed he really did care. His bedside manner was excellent, made my issue seem important and made me feel like he wanted to ensure I feel better. He provided clear next steps and made sure I understood the urgency of following the next steps. Wait times were good. Office was nice and clean, although the first provider had issues finding the things he needed (gown, gel, a bag for my gauze)”

It’s all good, but the wait time is ridiculous. If you don’t have at least 2 hours free than don’t do it to yourself.
