Absolutely the worst physician experience in my life. Avoid Dr. Pomakov at all costs…read more In my 68 years, I have interacted with over 100 physicians. Almost all of which have been positive. I have great respect and admiration for physicians. On August 28th 2026, I had an initial appointment with Dr. Pomakov. I found him to be arrogant, dismissive, and uninterested in anything I had to say about my condition and medical issues. His office had obtained my medical information prior to my visit and he said he hadn't reviewed my file. His behavior was so bad and unprofessional that I walked out of the exam room. I had waited over two months to see him. Ironically, he wasn't my first choice at the practice. Unfortunately, the physician I wanted to see had a four month waiting period so I was referred to Pomakov instead. If I could rate him a zero star I would. He is my far the worst physician I've experienced. Good riddance

It took minutes for someone to answer my call to make my appointment back in February, I received detailed instructions well in advance about how to prepare and what to expect prior to and on arrival. There was plenty of available parking and accessible entrance. I barely had time to sit down before being called back for registration. I was greeted by a very pleasant patient care worker who provided detailed instructions for my ride, took my insurance info and got me squared away. I don't think I was in the lobby more than 10 minutes before being escorted by a very cheerful and friendly nurse who took my vitals, gave me ample time to change into my gown. She was very skilled at getting my IV started and calmed my little fears. I then was escorted to the exam room where I again was greeted by warm nurses who were very attentive and explained again what was going to happen, estimated time it would take and how the rest of the day would go. It felt good to have staff ask if it was okay to touch me. I really appreciated that! My doctor arrived quite promptly and went over my history and again explained what to expect. I was not at the facility no more than 3 hours...probably less than that but I was a little out of it but I remember the high quality of care that I received. I did receive my test results very late or very early this morning and the procedure went very well. Outstanding care! No pictures for obvious reasons.

I would not recommend this doctor to someone I didn't like. He will talk down to you, lecture you…read moreon whatever he feels like, not believe you if it doesn't follow his narrative and not bother to actually go over test results. He would rather call you fat and tell you food has calories instead of looking at test results or helping with the reason you come in. He actually told me I was lying (without using that word) when I told him I actually did work out and ate things like fruit. He said women have willpower and losing weight shouldn't be a problem. All of this from a GI doctor who I wasn't even there about my weight. The advice he gave was out of date, not helpful contradicted itself and cruel at times. Avoid this doctor unless you are a skinny male. Then you probably are ok.

I'm a complete medical wimp with - I'm embarrassed to admit - vasovagal tendencies (needles sometimes make me pass out). Fortunately, EVERYONE here with whom I dealt was competent, compassionate, informative, and exceedingly personable/friendly. From the check-in person to the nurses (Julie, Stephanie, Lindsay) to the anesthesiologist to Dr. Diaz, my procedure was thoroughly bearable. [Did I mention how utterly soft I am when it comes to all things medical?] Five stars! Full marks! Thank you!

I would give this practice a 0 if that was possible…read more If you are referred to this practice, save yourself time, frustration and possible death if you're really ill and find another practice ASAP. This practice has too many patients and inexperienced, incompetent providers who care nothing about the suffering of the patients. (This does not include Dr. Gregory, but getting an appointment to see her is nearly impossible.) This practice is purely for profit. There are many other competent practices in the area, and if your life is at stake, you will not get the care you need here.

Was told they are not accepting patients and i needed to speak with my pcp for a referral.

Buffalo GI is very unprofessional, and does not do their due diligence to inform patients...there was no notice in the patient portal, Dr Sohal's name and picture still appear on the website.
