These people are extremely nice , I was worried and they were very comforting, explained all that they needed to do . I would have everyone who needs a gastrointestinal dr. To go to Dr. Vulcano. He is truly awesome.
I have been seeing Dr Wells for almost 20 yrs. I have always had a good experience. Dr Wells and his staff are extremely helpful and patience.
I have been Dr. Meline's patient for 20 years now. I have had several colonoscopies and endoscopies due to some health issues that needed to be monitored and followed up over the years. He has been committed to his profession and since our last communication he has performed over 50,000 colonoscopies and endoscopies. He is a doctor that you can trust and exhibits honesty and integrity.
Dr. Saperstein is a consummate professional. His approach is thorough and his manner is respectful and comforting.
This is my second time visiting this wonderful team and I can honestly say, they are on top of their game! I work in the medical field and everyone from the Doctor to the nurses to the front desk and medical assistants, they are 100% phenomenal in what they do. Dr Chokshi is the BEST! I do not want to go anywhere else for a colonoscopy. I’ve had two now, with Dr Chokshi, and both times the experience was very pleasant. I know that sounds crazy for a colonoscopy, but it’s true! If you ever need a colonoscopy and worried about the experience, you need to come here, it’s a piece of cake. And I will be bringing my husband back in 3 months. I highly recommend Dr Chokshi and his team!
