Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been going to Dr. Kartsonis for many years. He was the first to discover and diagnose that I have Eosinophilic esophagitis, an inflammation caused from allergies. He explained the diagnosis in terms that I could understand. He listened to me about all of my concerns and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend him for anyone with GI issues.

I have been with Dr. Kartsonis since I moved here from Tn. One of the hardest challenges moving to another state is finding the right/ best doctors. While I have had to find other doctors for different specialties, I am very fortunate that for my gastro. , my first choice was & is right. He is very knowledgeable, listens, takes time with you & is a "bedsides manner" friendly and kind man. He really cares about YOU, his patient!!!!!

I will never go to Dr. Kartsonis again! I was in the hospital when he did a colonoscopy on me. Halfway through the procedure he woke me up to show me what he was doing. It was one of the most embarrassing, humiliating and painful moments of my life! Nobody should have to experience this level of humiliation from a professional!

Outstanding physician. Dr Kartsonis has taking care of my wife and I for over 12 years. He is one of the most astute, compassionate doctors I have ever met. He takes his time with you, explains his findings in detail and outlines a comprehensive treatment plan. We would trust no one else with our gastrological needs.
