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.

Top-Notch Doctor
During my first visit with him, Dr. Taormina attentively listened to my concerns, carefully examined me, and promptly ordered and scheduled a medically necessary procedure for me before I had my blood drawn on site for a lab test. Within one week, the procedure was conducted at the adjacent surgical facility and a detailed, written report was made available to me before discharge and was also posted on the patient portal. I'm very impressed with Dr. Taormina's expertise, manner, as well as the efficiency of his entire office staff. I highly recommend Dr. Taormina without any reservation. I am glad I have Dr. Taormina as my trusted GI doctor.

Great Experience
I had a great experience from the start. Everyone from scheduling to nurses to the doctor were all friendly and knowledgeable. The prep was explained and all my questions were answered prior to my procedure. I would recommend Midwest GI Health if you’re looking for a group who cares for their patients.

Professional team -great patient care
I scheduled my second routine colonoscopy with Dr. Taormina. He performed my last colonoscopy 7 years ago. From the scheduling calls to the registration process and then the caring team that greets you, it’s obvious that they have thought of everything to make you comfortable. The procedure is painless and seems to go fast since you take one of the best naps ever. Dr. Taormina has a wonderful bedside manner and takes time to talk with you before and after procedure. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Taormina.
