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.

20yrs we’ve known him. He’s excellent beyond any expectations!

Unprofessional uncaring staff and Doctor
Overall horrible experience! Still waiting on office to authorize script for medication. Never return phone calls. Staff is clueless on how to assist your needs Doctor Daniel Megna could care less about his patients. I would never recommend Dr Megna! What a disgrace!

Great Doctor
I cannot say enough about Dr Megna or his staff. I have never had a problem getting in touch with him or anyone on his staff when I need assistance. My family and I have been going to him for years and I would recommend him to everyone.

I recently had a colonoscopy with Dr. Megna and the medical care from him and his staff was good. Linda Haxhin, Dr. Megna's secretary was extremely efficient, patient and friendly on the day of the colonoscopy. Finding secretaries with good manners and good communication is something you see less and less these days and makes a patient want to go back to that doctor.

He not only cares he listens to you. Most important. He diagnosed me and saved my life. He always returns my calls and is very patient. If only all Drs could be this caring and compassionate and know thier stuff. He has the experience he gives you the time and explains everything and I ask alot of questions. I would highly recommend him.

The doctor is terrific, if you can get to speak to him. The nurse was curt. She cut me off as I was telling her why I wanted a phone appointment with Dr Megna, and then jumped to conclusions and immediately want to book a procedure. After many years of being a patient here, I will be looking for a new gastro. I think the heyday of this practice is over.

I have been seeing Dr Megna for eighteen years. He is brilliant . He is compassionate caring and patient. My entire family goes to him . We all are very satisfied . He always provides us with the best medical advice and care. I know someone who was diagnosed with kidney cancer and he took the time to do research on new medicines that were promising . He recommended the medication for her to discuss with her oncologist . Her prognosis wasn’t good. But I strongly believe because of Dr Megna she lived for many years after they thought she would . I would recommend Dr Megna and give him 5 stars from Donna

Dr. Megna is the most caring and experienced gastroenterologist you can find. My family and I have used him for a number of issues for many years and won't go to any other doctor. The office is busy, but that's a result of the excellence of doctors that treat out of that location. They are the best!

Dr. Megna treated my daughter for her stomach issues. He prescribed medication that resolved her issues within a few days. He discussed with her how a change in diet would greatly reduce her gastric issues. He had his medical assistant follow up with her within a week to see how she was feeling.

Patient care is not a priority for the doctor or staff. Dr. Megna barely spoke to me during my 5 minute visit. Wrote me a prescription and did not give any insight to what purpose was to aid me in my discomfort. I have called the staff several times to get an authorization for my medication. It is a shame that these doctors do not have any accountability for treatment.

This is not to bash any of the doctors, but this office uses an anasthesiologist and other laboratory services that may not be in network with your insurance although your doctor is. The office won’t tell you until you start receiving all these bills. The staff makes a lot of errors and they don’t hesitate to get their money. Be cautious

He treated me for ulcerative colitis. He didn’t do a thing for me except load me with medicine. The waiting room was always crowded and always two hours minimum. He had this horrible god complex too.

Staff is rude ... I was told to come in early and waited 2 hours to see the physician ... the physician was wonderful for the 5 minutes I was seen but after that the staff worker that codes the prescriptions had an attitude and was slamming things ... doctor was also being shadowed by someone young who I had no idea who he was ... I didn't know if he was qualified to be there . I couldn't even review all of my issues . A shame a great doctor Should have to suffer because of staff

Worst office staff in the world. Not sure if Dr Megna is aware of the unprofessional staff he employs and how quickly they are to not make you an appointment if you have any balance that is due. What kind of doctor's office turns you away for an appointment that they said was medically necessary, because of a no show that they claim from 2013, but can't show me the registered receipt letter that I supposedly signed telling me they charged me $100.00 back then. Disgusting people!!

Incredible doctor and staff. They always have time for you. Dr. Megna is exceptional. He's very kind, thorough, and willing and able to help. He's down to earth, and is always going to go the extra mile. Don't believe any of the reviews that say otherwise. If you have questions all you have to do is ask, and he will elaborate. I've been seeing dr. Megna since I was 16, and I will never trust any other Doctor the way I trust him.
