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.

Would give him 10 stars if possible. Comprehensive

Dr. Pandolfino is outstanding, Listens, and mirrors back so you know he understands. The follow up visit notes are precisely correct. That is amazing in itself. Highly recommended.

Achalasia
I began having serious trouble swallowing in 2013. Turns out I had a relatively rare and often misdiagnosed condition called Achalasia. Dr Pandolfino and his team had me diagnosed and scheduled for surgery by March 2014. I have never looked back. My treatment at this hospital was outstanding, the staff so caring and knowledgeable and my surgery (the POEM procedure) was such a success that it is almost like it never happened. My gratitude to this team of doctors, nurses and assistants is beyond my ability to express in mere words. Thank you so much. Two thumbs way up, highly recommend.

I am a patient living in Canada tortured by esophageal spasm with serious symtoms making me can not lead a normal life. No doctors in here can solve my problem. I went to see Dr. Pandolfino in Nov 2016. He did several tests for me and had reviewed my previous medical records carefully. He is really so knowledgeable, experienced, responsible, positive and encouraging. He treats my illness analyzing my situation integrately. I am still under his care by phone/email back in Canada. He is great.
