I almost didn't come here because of some of the reviews, and I am so glad I didn't listen to them…read more I truly have no idea why anyone would write something negative about this place. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely cared for. I have never been to an endoscopy center that goes above and beyond the way this one does. They put a movie on for me while I was getting my fluids, constantly reassured me, and explained everything in detail multiple times so I felt comfortable and informed. In the procedure room, they even played music for me. When I was scared to go under, they held my hand and gently rubbed my head to comfort me. That meant more to me than I can explain. After the procedure, they hand-fed me a drink, checked on me, and even gave me a hug before I left. I honestly want to cry thinking about how much care and compassion I was shown. Dr. Richard R. Dobhan and his staff are truly amazing. I felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared about the entire time.

I recently had some health issues and made an appointment for a consultation. He is kindest doctor I think I have ever met. His professional bedside manner and his ability to immediately put me at ease made such a huge difference in how I felt. I had a colonoscopy yesterday and having him do the procedure was such a blessing. What a nice man he is! I highly recommend Dr. Dozer. I will tell any of my neighbors and my friends that if they need a doctor who specializes in gastroenterology he is the doctor to see.

Dr. MacNeal and Staff,…read more Misty, Jordyn, Bonnie, Allison, Allyson, and Brianna are Dr. MacNeal's awesome staff that I had contact with. Dr. MacNeal and his staff, Allison, Misty, Bonnie, Jordyn, Allyson, and Brianna are awesome. I had an aggressive squamous skin cancer on my hand. I'm 70, so I'm no stranger to doctors. I can tell you it would be hard to find such a thoughtful, caring surgeon and staff all in one! They answered all of my concerns and are patience. Allison greets you at the front deck like your family, but she is professional. The rest of the staff as mentioned, treats you with respect and compassion. It is very stressful to have a prognosis of cancer, but a caring and concerned surgeon and staff can make all the difference, believe me. Thank you all for the care I continue to receive. Respectfully, Jennifer P.S. A special note to Bonnie who was so sweet on my first meeting and Misty, for all the heartfelt concern during my surgery who eased my stress (Best Hug that Day). Jordyn too for all my after care, another sweet lady. All of the staff as I mentioned are awesome but I had lots of one on one care with Misty, Jordyn, and Bonnie. Thank you

Went here for a GI consult for my sweetheart. From beginning to finish this office was very…read moreprofessional with up to date front office technology and the staff is very good. We arrived to their very pleasant and comfortable office and they were following appropriate Covid protocols. The check-in and paperwork was easy and not cumbersome. I went into the consult with my wife and after vitals and a few questions we had a short wait before we were seen by a nurse practitioner who was very thorough and was a good listener who explored a lot of issues. We were able to pass on the "go to" colonoscopy and settled on CT scans and other diagnostic methods. One none to pick is they gave us sample kits to take home that were not acceptable to our local lab, LabCorp, which resulted in having to get the GI office to call in a new order and making multiple trips to the lab. I would also preferred to have at least a quick conversation with one of the resident GI docs.

I was sent to Gastroenterology due to elevated liver enzymes. My family doctor ‍ made the referral…read moreto this clinic. When I was given an appointment I was never told that my appointment was with "Susan," who is apparently Dr. Rusynyk's NP. This really disappointed me because I feel I should have been told who I was going to see. I quickly learned that at THIS clinic, you must submit to an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy before you are granted the privilege of an office visit with the actual Gastroenterologist. Right away, I let them know this made me uncomfortable. I have a gene for a genetic liver condition and these tests were not part of a work up for this condition that I am familiar with - my son has the worst form of the gene and has the disease. I have cared for him with many gastros over his sixteen years. He has never been scoped- up or down. They scheduled the scopes for me anyway and when they called a week out to "remind" me I canceled them. At this point I shared it was important for me as an individual to meet my physician in a clinical setting where I feel safe before undergoing a procedure at the hospital. I explained that I have PTSD from an active shooter situation at a hospital and was very forthright that I did not want to waste the doctor's time or procedure space by getting panicked right before the procedure because I do not know my doctor. The gals that work reception were very impatient with me. They insisted that they just could not accommodate my needs and it just wasn't done. Finally, they booked me an office visit with the doctor- for over six months away. My scopes however, could have been done with only a two week wait time. ‍ I took that appointment. A couple weeks later I called in and said I was have RUQ pain and asked for advice. I was given an appointment for the next week with Susan the NP. The next day I ended up going to the ER and found out my liver enzymes were up again. The following day, a receptionist from this clinic calls and tells me Susan is unwilling to see me because I won't have the scopes. Even though I've just been to ER. Even though my liver function is not great AGAIN. I'm told my appointment is canceled. Move forward to the week of the canceled appointment: I get a phone call reminder I have to come in to see Susan. I tell them my appoint was canceled. I start to wonder wth is going on over there. They tell me it was never canceled. The receptionist was very rude to me. I feel very confused and unsure if I can trust this clinic at this point. So, I end up changing Gastroenterologists and have to drive over an hour away to see someone else. I feel small accommodations for PTSD and mental health should be routine in medical offices. I started feeling very gaslighted by this office and that is very unprofessional. My expectation to meet my physician in an office setting prior to a procedure is not a lot to ask. Furthermore, if a patient needs an endoscopy and colonoscopy the patient should be told why these tests are needed for their specific case. Not a blanket, "that is what everyone gets. That is how he does it".

This review is for Doctor Dewey Torres, a general surgeon…read more I was referred to Dr. Torres by my trusted gastroenterologist for an evaluation to see if my gall bladder needed to be removed. Dr.Torres shares a suite with his Doctor wife. It is in an old building that reeks of mold and urine (???). But I was still open-minded at first and willing to like him, trust him, and respect him - even though I was NOT pleased with the first impression given by his office suite. It seems like a successful surgeon should be able to afford a nice, CLEAN, modern, good-smelling office, not something outdated, dusty/dirty, and malodorous. The wait time was average, paperwork had a few grammatical errors printed on it. No big deal. Then the nurse called me back and when she saw that my husband was coming, she told me that "the Doctor would NOT be pleased". I INSISTED. I was given a paper robe and paper sheet and advised that I would have to undress at some point. This seemed reasonable as I'd never had a gall bladder exam before. Soon, the Dr. came in and introduced himself, and I learned all about how highly regarded he was (through his anecdotes and paper clippings). He seemed nice enough and he did put me and my husband at ease. But when he was ready to do the exam, he asked my husband to leave and wait in his office while I remained in that room with him for the "medical" portion of the appointment. He told me to get completely naked - no panties or bra. The gall bladder lies below your right set of ribs, so I had no idea why I had to take off my panties and bra since they wouldn't be covering that area at all. But my doctor had referred me, SHE liked and trusted him, and the female nurse was remaining in the room. Once naked and lying flat with the robe (open in the front) covering my top and the paper sheet over my bottom. Dr. Torres proceeds to give me a breast exam (despite my protestations that I'd just had a FULL exam though my GYN two weeks ago). It did not follow a typical breast exam procedure, though it didn't seem overtly sexual - just ODD. Next he went down and palpated my pelvic area - only way to really say it - he gave me an external pelvic exam. He even lifted up my sheet, and commented on a tattoo I have in a decidedly private place. I had no clothes on underneath that sheet. He LOOKED at me - and touched the tattoo. Again, nothing overly giving me a feeling of anything inappropriate going on - just the exam itself was odd. But MOST importantly, he NEVER ONCE touched, palpated, or assessed the area of my body where my GALL BLADDER is located. The very REASON for my visit!!! Done looking at and feeling my breasts/pubic area, he had me get dressed and told me to meet him in his office where my husband is waiting. In his office, he then tells me and my husband that there's NO WAY to determine - through any kind of PHYSICAL EXAM - if a gall bladder needs to be removed!!! (WHY DID HE DO ONE THEN?? And WHY, instead of palpating the swollen, sore gall bladder, did he do a breast/pelvic exam. You base it on symptoms (which I'd reported to him LONG before the "exam") and tests (I'd already had done well BEFORE my appointment, and of which - he had received a copy of the results weeks ago). He then tried to schedule an appointment for the surgery but couldn't give me a straight answer as to whether or not I needed it. I declined to make a follow-up appointment.

Nearly two weeks later, I still hadn't heard anything and, since I am still having problems, I called. Interestingly, I was told that a call with a message had been left for me the previous day. No missed calls or message, so I am unsure as to how that happens. Anyways, I was told there was no bacteria, only gastritis and a stricture. The stricture had been stretched with a balloon during the procedure so I was told that basically my problem is "only gastritis". I explained to her that I have had it before however I have never had this type of discomfort in my throat and that I do not know what I am to do because I have completely changed my diet and still no relief. She told me to continue to take my prilosec in which I responded that I wasn't even taking prilosec. I explained,again, that I had previously been on prilosec and I seemed to have to problems with it(I had strong tightness in my throat with it). This had previously been explained to the Dr who completed my scope and he told me that I could try Pepcid AC until my results were in. So I re-explained that to her and she told me,again, about how it is "just mild gastritis" and that people tolerate different things. She then said I could try Nexium. I told her I would try anything and so she said she would send the script in. This was around 3pm in the afternoon. I went to pick my script up at 830p the same night and guess what? NO PRESCRIPTION. At this point I am upset but decided to call the office so that I could leave a message for them to get first thing in the morning. The next day(today) comes and I figured I would get a call on my way to class. Nothing. So I call back and I am told the computers went down. Now I understand that problem but what I do not understand is why someone couldn't call me to tell me that my script wasn't sent. I was told that she would call in my script "when she has time". Ok well that is nice. Not sure why I even wasted my time leaving a message last night since clearly you don't have time to address them. I am not happy at all. This is the last time I will deal with this place.

It wasn't so much an exam as a fondling, even though it didn't seem overtly sexual - just ODD. Next he went down and palpated my pelvic area - only way to really say it - he gave me an external pelvic exam.

His staff had a look about them as I left - like that of a complicit partner in crime who shares the burden of guilty shame for what their rogue boss has done. From the moment I left his office, I began to feel worse and worse about the whole thing. I felt molested, tricked, exposed, used, and violated. This man was not performing medicine. It was more like a molestation. And now that I can finally discuss it without shame crippling me, I am going to see whether or not I can still file a formal complaint with the medical board. If you are a woman (or a man who cares about cleanliness and integrity) - STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN. "Sorry I didn't listen to my Instincts"- in Pensacola, FL
