Dr. Stein is a GREAT doctor: caring, knowledgeable, proactive, respectful. I highly recommend him.
He was recommended by another doctor in whom I have confidence. He has a caring manner in that he appears not to be in a rush and listens attentively. He does not tend to over-treat.
I just saw this doctor yesterday for some bloating and digestive issues. I had my first colonoscopy back in November 2020 with Dr. Meline who is another doctor in the practice. He was very experienced and professional. But, I still continued to have issues after my colonoscopy. Dr. Seetharam met with me, took his time explaining some options and what his thoughts were for my issues. He examined me and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated the fact that he asked me if I was comfortable having an endoscopy or an ultrasound, considering I had just paid for a colonoscopy. Thank you Dr. Seetharam, I look forward to my follow up appointment with you after my test are completed. I am confident you will be able to help me resolve my issues.
Very caring office everyone from Dr. Trivedi to staff very good!
Great Doctor who takes the time to explain everything in detail. Doesn’t rush through things. Left me feeling comfortable.
