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.

Condescending & Dismissive
Dr. Margulis was condescending and completely dismissive of my concerns. I met with him because my usual gastroenterologist, Dr. Broussard, was unavailable, and this was an emergency appointment. He made remarks regarding my previous Celiac diagnosis, claiming that I am "not a true Celiac like his daughter," which was information that was not relevant to my appointment. When I asked for a different alternative to a test he wanted to perform, he told me I was "acting like [his] 5-year-old son when he had to take the same test." He then proceeded to belittle my teaching job, by saying that one person can do the job of the entire state’s worth of teachers. At the end of my appointment when he asked if I was going to take the test that he did not offer an alternative for before, and I responded that I would, he clapped his hands like a toddler and said “Yay! That’s what I like to hear!” I have never felt so ashamed, violated, or angered before in my life, let alone by a medical professiona

Dr Margulis does my periodic colonoscopies and I consider them to be like spa days. He developed a very easy prep, I go in early in the morning and since you have to fast, there’s an excellent diner/pancake house right nearby.

I wouldn't let this doctor see my worst enemy. He is not to be trusted and has NO bedside manner. He should not be practicing with human beings as he is not a nice person.
