"I saw Dr. Stein today as a new patient with Ulcerative Colitis. He was very kind, supportive, and answered every single one of my questions without running out of the room. I feel very positive about his care and actually feel somewhat hopeful about getting my condition under control for the first time."
"Dr. Stein was very informative about the procedure I am to receive. I felt a calmness about him and he seemed to be helpful with any questions I had."
"Dr very nice explained everything to me.
Only reason I gave 4stars not 5 is because I have to wait 21/2 months for
My colonoscopy. I have been very worried about testing positive not sleeping much always thinking what if , I would be almost 3 months without any treatment.
Again everyone has been great from front desk to dr.
Thank you
Joseph Steinhart"

"Dr. Stein is a professional who listens/advocates for his patients.
I decided to schedule a visit with him after reading the positive reviews and I was not disappointed.
On the day of my appointment, the receptionist was friendly and check in was simple. Maria, the medical assistant who brought me back to the exam room, was friendly, attentive, and professional.
Dr. Stein walked into the exam room accompanied by an assistant who takes notes throughout the visit. This was great as it allowed Dr Stein to have a natural flow of conversation instead of having to continuously stop to take notes.
I mentioned to Dr Stein some testing I had done and he was able to locate the results and share them with me during the visit.
I left the visit with a plan in place and with the feeling that I was in competent hands."
"Dr Stein took his time to review my difficulties and prescribe a solution. I feel better already. I would certainly recommend him."

"I have had two experiences with Dr Saperstein's office. The first experience was excellent. Recently (June 2022), I had a serious issue come up. The office was able to get me in within a day; however, once I was at the office, I felt like Dr. Saperstein either didn't believe me with the problems I was having, and just wanted to "go through the motions" to get me out of the office. So my first experience would have been 5-stars, but my second experience would have been about 2-1/2 stars. I am hopeful that I just caught Dr. Saperstein on an "off day" and that things will improve in the future."

Long story ,short .At 3 am Sunday morning ,Dr. Stein assembled a team ,built an emergency Operating Room in the ER and then fixed what had gone horrible wrong with my original procedure.Were it not for the skill and dedication of Dr. Stein and his team,I would not be writing this review .He has my eternal gratitude and my highest recommendation."
