Dr. Jeff Monkash, MD

He ignored my issues and told me to lose weight and dictated his notes to himself while I was in the room. Arrogant and unhelpful.

I was referred to Dr. Monkash when I started experiencing gastrointestinal issues. I saw him three times: initial visit, as an outpatient at the hospital for combined Endoscopy and Colonoscopy, and then in his office to discuss the findings. He is very knowledgeable, highly experienced, and as he explained upcoming procedures and potential complications he offered (unprompted) his own statistics: how many of each procedure he has done, and how many times he experienced the complications being discussed (a tiny fraction of one percent in one case; never in the other). At one point during the initial examination I felt that he was talking a lot, and he needed to hear more from me about the symptoms I was experiencing. I said so (politely) and he immediately changed course, listening intently, asking follow-up questions, etc. In fact, as the appointment ended, he asked "Do you feel you've been heard today?" He is a sensitive individual with a slightly gruff exterior. Good doctor.

Excellent doctor and staff

Honestly Dr. Jeff Monkash is the worst doctor I have ever encountered. He is arrogant, insulting & doesn't listen. He yelled & belittled my 64 year old mother because she has a very slight accent until she was in tears. He then phones me yelling at the top of his voice "WHY IS YOUR MOTHER EVEN HERE?" when it was a doctor in the same hospital he is affiliated with sent her to him. When I tried to stop him from yelling & insulting my mom he yelled "DON'T INTERRUPT ME." See him if you want insults.
