This office is the worse I have ever dealt with. I called to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. I was told that it was too early to schedule because only 8 years since prior test. I said I have a script from my PCP and that Dr. Kauffman had recommended a follow-up in 7-10 years. Since it's now 8 years, I wanted to schedule based on the doctor's recommendation. They scheduled me for a tele-medicine appointment instead. This is not what I want or need. I've now tried to call back 4x since my initial call since my PCP said to try scheduling again, and the 1st time, no answer, left a voice mail, no return call. 2nd time, called again, voice mail box full. 3rd time left a voice mail on the nurse's line out of frustration. No return call. 4th time, no answer and left another voice mail. Still no return call. How is a person supposed to get in touch with this office? They should be out of business, or perhaps they are based on their non-response to my past 5 calls. read more

I have NEVER gotten such great medical Care! I have been in the medical circle starting with an autoimmune disease with admissions inti the hospital for the same issues I'm was dealing with prior to going to AGA. I want to say I'm a nurse. I initially met Dr. Kaufman in 1991 while working at then Mainland Hospital. He's so real, so understanding and so reachable on the human level. While maintaining a professional poise untouchable. Every staff member there are amazing! I cannot say enough about the courtesy and kindness of Christine and Bri and EVERY nurse !! The access center unbelievable kindness. Please trust your health care to AGA for Gastro issues. My lesson from this is I could of had help the many years I've suffered if I would of just listened to Dr Nahass another AWESOME Dr. But I'm here with AGA and I'm never leaving. The older one gets the more we need to have consistent care especially with Gastro. Im just feeling blessed that I don't have to suffer anymore. I found a place that knows thier field of study and I TRUST them completely! I hope this helps you to make an informed medical decision. read more

I scheduled an appt. with this office and was told I would be going to their Galloway location (which is near me, which is specifically why I chose them), but on the day of my appt. I looked up the location for an exact address and all I saw on line was their EHT location. When I called, they told me my first appt. had to be at EHT. I told them that I was not told that at all and wasn't sure if I could make it in time and they said - Oh sure you can! Not knowing where I was going (which was stressful to begin with) in this last minute, I got lost and missed the entrance 2 times. I called the office to ask for direction -- twice. I spoke to them at 2:40 for a 2:45 appt. I was there by 2:50, maybe 2:55. I sat in the waiting room for another 10 minutes before they told me I'd have to reschedule - The "office manager" said I was too late...they run a very tight schedule and this is why they tell people to come 15 minutes early -- I was not told that either!! I am in a wheelchair, and getting in and out of my accessible van can be exhausting. I was on the road to getting there and getting lost for 45-50 minutes of stressing out to be turned away for being 5-10 minutes late....when they knew I was having a hard time finding them! Why didn't they tell me over the phone that it would be too late -- when I called twice to say I was lost?? I pleaded would they PLEASE work with me - I would wait. How long would it take for me to discuss having a colonoscopy and going to Galloway (nearer to my home) for future appointments? The "office manager" said sorry....but no! I don't know when I've been so dismissed with such indifference! They asked if I wanted to reschedule the appointment. I said NO and thanks for helping me out! I left in shock and tears. I have MS and have all kinds of appts. with so many specialists...I had another appt. later in the day. I have never experienced such inconsideration. I will NEVER go back, and will advise anyone I know NOT to go there. I have already contacted Jersey Shore Gastroenterology for an appointment. read more

In 2016 I contacted this location to get a preventative Colonoscopy covered by my Insurance. The procedure was performed by a Dr. Joseph Spaar and went well. After the procedure I started getting thousands of dollars in medical charges. I found out that the doctor changed my initial scope of work from preventative to diagnostic, because I indicated a history on my pre-procedure paperwork. This change made the procedure not covered by my insurance and changed my fee from a $75 copay to few thousand. I found out tgru my insurance company It also increases the amount the doctor gets paid from about $400 paid by insurance to a few thousand paid by me. When I complained to the billing office they informed me it was there right because of how I completed my paperwork indicating a history. I said if that was true then what about my right as the customer to know you were going to alter what I asked to have done to something that would cost thousands more. Well this company hasn't budged and now this amount is a negative on my credit report. I do not recommend doing business with this company. read more

In July, 2019, I called to schedule an appointment for a colonoscopy. I had an appointment scheduled to meet with the doctor and to go over my medications and health history. When I scheduled my appointment, Kim the receptionist asked if I had a family history of problems. I told her not that I was aware of. I showed up for my 8:15 appointment at 8:00 because the paperwork I received in the mail said to arrive 15 minutes before my appointment. The paperwork asked for a list of my medications. I was told by Kim at the desk that there was no appointment scheduled! I showed her the paperwork and the text message I received confirming my appointment. She took my paperwork and told me to have a seat. When she came back, she said I'm sorry this happened, but we can get you in at 9:30! I said no, I have a day and I left. While driving home, Kim called my cell phone and said the appointment was cancelled because I told her I didn't have a family history of issues and I just needed to schedule a colonoscopy. Who is the receptionist Kim to make that call??? And obviously she had my info because she called my cell phone. Doesn't the doctor want to meet with me to go over my medications before putting me under??? Kim then told me I would recieve a phone call within 3 business days to schedule my colonoscopy. That was a Monday and today is Saturday. No phone call, but that's ok, because I made an appointment somewhere else where they actually want to meet with me first before doing anything! I wouldn't send my worst enemy there. Very scary. I'm glad I left! read more

I had a procedure 12/2018 by Dr. Kaufmann. He was very concern and caring. The nurses in both post and pre-op we great. I got a bit sick from the anesthesia and cause me to have to hang out in the recovery room bit longer then normal. I wasn't rush and that's important when you are coming out of the meds. Thank you for caring and taking the time with me! read more

This office is ridiculous! I called the main number to schedule a colonoscopy. I spoke with a receptionist for about 20 minutes giving her all my information (insurance, address, ph.# etc), I get placed on hold for another 5 minutes and then she tells me that I have to get transferred to a voicemail and leave a message to make an appointment. I left a message, and a recording told me someone would call me back within 3 business days. Three days pass and I heard nothing. So I call the main number a week later. They tell me that the person who returns the calls has been out sick and and they should get back to me shortly. I had also reached this same voicemail to make an appointment back in August. What was their excuse for not getting back to me then? Never in my 50 + years of seeing doctors have I ever had to go through such nonsense to merely get an appointment. I was referred to this office by my PCP and I will make it a point that they should never ever refer another patient to Atlantic. Thanks for wasting my time and energy read more
