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.

Dr Kadden has been my gastroenterologist for several years and I really like him but unfortunately his office staff is awful. Numerous times my infusions have been cancelled or delayed because the medical assistant did not do the necessary paperwork and pre authorizations. It has been a nightmare. I will be changing doctors to avoid future problems.

Dealling with Office Staff Highly Stressful
Dr. Kadden has been my gastroenterologist for the past 16 years. I like and trust him. Sadly, I have now switched physicians because my experience with his office staff was awful. The worst I have ever experienced. It took me one month to schedule my procedure. The procedure was then booked three months in advance for the earliest appointment. The office staff made a booking error with the procedure, and I called them about it multiple times. They NEVER once returned my calls. They rarely answer the phone. You get voicemail, leave a message and you never hear back. I asked if I could speak with Dr. Kadden. The answer was no. I could book an appointment to talk with him in two months, the day before my procedure, which was physically impossible. I reluctantly gave up, and booked with another physician whose staff are normal, polite, answer the phone, return calls, and make prompt appointments. Avoid heartache and stress from dealing with staff who clearly don't care about you.
