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.

Best Gastroenterologist, would highly recommend!!!!

He Almost Killed Me!
He did a colonoscopy on me and I asked him to check my prostate while he was at it. When I awoke from the anesthesia, I asked him how my prostate was and he said it was fine.A year or so later, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 prostate cancer. It was found just in time to save my life.He could have killed me with his incompetence.

Irresponsible, unprofessional. Look elsewhere
Wasted six months with this guy prescribing OTC products that don't work.Then, prescribes real medications but doesn't submit them to the pharmacy. Impossible to reach; doesn't return messages or follow up. He rents an office that he's rarely at and even THEY cannot reach him. But he likes to complain if you don't confirm verbally every appointment on the day before and he tries to cancel your appointment. You're better of finding someone responsible.

It’s been only most 2 yrs since the passing of my mother due to the lack of care provided by Dr. Stark. Please get another opinion. I have to live with this heartache everyday.
