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.

the visit was not bad it was the follow up that was terrible. I had an endoscopy and no one called me with results. I tried several times to get in touch with Dr. Cerefice's office. At this time I am seeing another Gastroenteroenterologist. I think as a professional by self that this physician is taking on too many patients and forgetting the reason he wanted to be a doctor in the first place. Patients should be your #1 priority after all we are the ones who make it possible for you to even exist. I will never recommend him, total disappointment.

Dr. Cerefice is one of the best, if not the best. He is extremely caring and understanding. He listens and then gets to work to find a remedy to the problem. I trust him completely and thank God I found him. If you're looking for a G.i. Dr. Look no more! Also nurse Jackie is wonderful and very helpful as is the staff. I really appreciate all of them

The office staff is unfriendly and rude. There are long wait times to hold on the phone whenever you call. I used Dr. Cerefice and he didn't document my symptoms on the reports. He basically just dismissed them. Very disappointing experience.

Dr Cerefice solved a problem that caused my wife debilitating pain for two weeks. No one else could figure it out. Dr. Cerefice took the time and listened and got to the root cause of the problem.

Dr Cerefice is great! My mother had a frightening situation that landed us in the ER and he was the one covering for the practice. From the initial consult to endoscopy to follow up outpatient he has been fantastic. He is super personable, speaks to you in a way you understand and Is very thorough. He's easy to talk to and attentive. I definitely feel comfortable trusting him with my mothers care. I couldn't recommend him more! Thanks Dr cerefice!!
