He was very negligent and he missed my cancer after a colonoscopy. He is extremely rude, with poor bedside manners. If I didn't find another G.I doctor I wouldn't be here today. Recently he tried to sue me for telling the truth on Google reviews. But, I also posted documentation of my diagnosis from another doctor. I told his lawyer I'm not a sue-happy person. But seeing all the other complaints, I may reconsider. read more

I'm 1 in a million! Yea, really... my Doc says so! When is too personal too personal? Is it when it gets to a point when I'm reviewing my Gastroenterologist? I'm not sure. I mean... spending habits is a pretty personal thing in the first place... so why not review my awesome doctor? So... yada, yada I have a past of some cancer yeah... I'm technically sorta a "cancer survivor," yada, yada... and when I moved here I was recommended to Dr. Black by some loved ones that have been seeing him for years. So yeah... I didn't feel a thing! Totally sedated and taken care for my colon scoping! They suggested something called "MoviPrep," for the 24 hour fasting/cleansing and well, sorry, but that's just the finest damn name ever: "MoviPrep. Here to cinematically prepare you for the most epic of adventures, starring a colonoscopy. MoviPrep. Preparing you for your own movie of life. MoviPrep!" Recently though... I went in for a conversation/consultation check up (no procedures), and it was the best doctor visit of my life. "Dude knows what's up." He doesn't treat me like I'm a freak for being so young with all this; instead, he's interested in it all and is up to just have a conversation about how fascinating it all is. Giving me the straight facts to quell my nerves about what the hell I am. Apparently I'm a 1 in a million sorta thing about being so young, and I'm rather lucky. I'm lucky to have found such a good Doc really... so when your number is called for the colonoscopy head to Dr. David Black. Note: I love that "colonoscopy" and, "gastroenterologist," are coming up with the red-dotted lines as if they're misspelled words because Yelp doesn't have them in their database. I am the first person to ever review this sort of thing? Awesome. Note: He's in the building next to the hospital that has the parking garage below it that looks like it could fall over at any instant (if you ask me... that lived in earthquaketown for awhile). And, the parking garage had a cardboard, hand written sign on the ticket booth that read: Sorry ticket machine down. Please remember your "time," that you entered. I know realize I really should have a photo of something that used quotations for time. "Time?" Note: no CC payments, only cash or check by mail & in person (yeah. I know). Don't let it stop you though! read more

Poor bedside manner. Took no photos during endoscopy (this is 2013 isn't,t it?). Was abrupt and short during inpatient "consultation", and then billed $200 for that "service". Too bad, I was a captive client as an inpatient with GI bleed. Once discharged, I switched to another doctor who cared for me as a patient and not just another procedure to bill. read more
