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.

Very friendly and he takes the time to answer and questions you have. My wife and I are very happy with is service.

Outstanding experience! From my arrival to the front desk where I was greeted by a man with a terrific sense of humor, to my wonderfully compassionate RN, Tracy Ediston and finally to the calm, friendly professionalism of Dr. Cofrancisco...everything went like clockwork. I was bundled in warm blankets, given plenty of information and treated exceptionally well by the entire team. If only the prep could be so pain free!

I’ve now been a patient for 3 years! Simply the best GI practice out there. Always get me back on time, yet somehow once I’m back there I never feel rushed! Coming from another practice where it felt more like they were hearding cattle in and out, GI North feels more like a health partner. Always a friendly voice that picks up the phone and easy to schedule appointments, procedures (thanks Natalie!!) and prescription refills. Truly a great team!

Dr. Cofrancesco listens to his patients, does not rush you and is very thorough. He has just found a "flat" polyp (not easy to find when doing a colonoscopy) and resected a portion of it and I've had no bleeding or other possible complications -- a good sign he knows what he's doing with such a delicate procedure. I highly recommend him.
