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.

competent doctor who understands your angst.
Dr. Procaccino is a blessing from GOD. He is compassionate, understanding and extremely knowledgable.

Fabulous Physician!
Dr. Proccincino is kind, thorough, knowledgeable and gifted. Saved my friend’s life when another doctor botched his colonoscopy. Also brought my uncle back from a dire colon cancer diagnosis. I trust him implicitly and would not go anywhere else for my colonoscopies (had my third in 10 years today). Highly recommend this doctor!

Absolutely the Best!!!
Dr. Procaccino took care of my mother like royalty. This is who all the doctors I know recommend because of his level of expertise. Unmatched technically with the warmest bedside manner and kindness. That combination is rare. Can’t say enough about this man. They don’t make them like this anymore. Simply the Best.

I do not recommend him, I had bad experience with him, very cold approach, He let his resident MD to operate on me, while knowing that I had prior fissure surgery, and he assure me that he will preform it and pain will go away, a new surgery was not successful, 9 month out, I m still in pain. stay away from him
