Not sure why I always ignored my health tests but I'm glad I now take my health more seriously. Having his wife Dr Jill Kavaler as my Anesthesiologist made the experience even better. They are really nice people on top of being great Doctors. I wasn't very comfortable when I arrived for my 1st Colonoscopy but the Ladies at the Front quickly made me feel relaxed and glad I came. I wasn't handed a bunch of papers to fill out like some other Medical places do. Everything was nice and seamless and quick but not rushed. The staff were all extremely nice. Thanks to Shayiqua, Chelsea, Yariette and Janice up front and Chris and Riley who did my intake. Thanks to Tammy and Alejandra, Jonathan and Daniel, Emilio and Daribel. Big thanks again to Drs Leo and Jill Kavaler and the entire team!

I had a very disappointing experience at this office today when I arrived for my SIBO breath test…read more From the moment I walked in, the woman at the front desk was hostile and unwelcoming. I explained that I had never received the preparation instructions for the test. Rather than trying to help or find a solution, she immediately focused on telling me that I had opened the patient portal more than 10 days ago. I've never been to a medical office that sends critical test instructions so far in advance of the appointment and assumes patients will remember to go back and review them days later. A simple reminder closer to the appointment would have prevented this situation. Instead of showing empathy or working with me to resolve the issue, she raised her voice, repeatedly told me to "take accountability," and handled the interaction in an extremely confrontational and unprofessional manner. I felt like I was being scolded rather than helped. The entire exchange was unnecessarily uncomfortable and stressful. Customer service, especially in healthcare, should be centered on professionalism, empathy, and problem-solving. Unfortunately, I experienced none of those qualities here. The interaction left me feeling so uncomfortable that I no longer feel safe or confident having my SIBO test performed at this location. I hope the practice invests in customer service and conflict resolution training for its front desk staff, because no patient should be treated this way.

I just cancelled my appointment for a procedure. I didn't mind the wait, I was on my phone playing…read moregames to distract me so the wait time wasn't the issue. I'd like to point out that the staff were amazing, really friendly and inquisitive. My issue is with Dr. Igal Khorshidi, I went in for a consultation and the doctor was the rudest and most impatient doctors I've ever interacted with. I explained that I was a bit embarrassed about my visit and he said "you're joking right? I've heard it all" with a really smug tone, it wasn't in a friendly joking manner that would put anyone at easy, he lacked empathy which is crucial with someone who's in the medical field. The consultation lasted less than 4 minutes, which he rushed me through, he even did a circle motion with his hands as to hurry me up, I felt so uncomfortable that l couldn't tell him my reasons for the consultation. He might be a doctor and have the credentials but he is not a good person, is impatient and seems like he has a short temper. If you're desperate and think "well I got an appointment fast, this is great" don't even bother this doctor is not there to help, just collect a check.

Extremely unprofessional and ineffective communication with patients. When first scheduling an…read moreappointment with this office, I emphasized that I have 2 insurances, both a primary and secondary. I asked if the office accepts both my insurances, and they reassured me that they did via phone call. Thus, I scheduled an appointment. The appointment itself was disappointing. Firstly, the attending PA never formally introduced himself to me. He also never directly asked me what my health concerns were. He simply asked me basic medical history questions, which led me to believe he was an MA. Once I realized he was the PA, I expressed my concerns and reasons for my visit. (I also never met with Dr. Igal in either of my visits, which was never communicated.) My first visit was on a Saturday, in which I provided both my insurance cards for verification. A few days later, on a weekday, the office called me and stated that they did NOT accept my primary insurance, but rather only my secondary insurance. I expressed that this would be an issue, as my secondary insurance requires that I visit in-network offices for my primary insurance. The office insisted that because they accepted my secondary insurance, I would have no issue with my primary insurance/billing. In addition, the receptionist stated that they were NOT able to verify even my secondary insurance. They claimed that my secondary insurance appeared to be invalid. I knew this was certainly incorrect, as I was utilizing my secondary insurance in other offices. Turns out, they were entering my incorrect birth date. Then, Maria, the office manager, insisted that I come in for a follow-up appointment despite this insurance confusion. Thus, I came in for a follow-up appointment and asked to speak with Maria upon arrival. Maria and the PA both met with me. Maria insisted that my secondary insurance would cover my visits at this office, despite my primary insurance not being accepted at this office. I expressed that I did NOT believe this to be correct. Maria insisted that I would NOT receive any bill from this office. I even asked her if I could get this statement in writing, to which she replied, "I've never written a letter like that, but, believe me, if you get a bill from us, you can personally come yell at me." Well, I received a bill after all. I called the office to dispute this bill. Maria called me back, and said she was going to follow up regarding whether my secondary insurance was billed or not. She specially stated, "It seems this is a copay, but I don't believe your secondary insurance was billed. The lab is supposed to call me around 11 am tomorrow and I will confirm if they billed your secondary insurance or not." I never heard from her again. I had to email the office multiple times to even get a response. I even specifically asked the receptionist when calling regarding this matter, whether I should be contacting their office or the lab regarding this lab dispute. The receptionist told me to email their office, which I did. This entire experience has been extremely unpleasant and inconvenient. Avoid this office.

I swore off on seeking medical expertise, and doomed myself of eternal worrying and constant self-diagnosing through Wedmd. Along came Dr. Cimponeriu who broke down my antagonistic mindset and restore my faith of the medical profession. From the moment I set foot in the office, Dr. Cimponeriu eased my qualms and reassured me that I will be okay.

Amazing, thoughtful, caring, professional and intelligent!!!…read more I cannot begin to explain how this man has changed my life for the better. After constantly feeling sick, and unexpectedly losing about 15 pounds in several months, I decided to get my health checked out. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad that he was! During my first visit, he sat down with me and asked me many questions about myself and my health. He listened intently, wrote many things down and offered advice and booklets. He expressed his desire to help me find answers. During my second and third visits, I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. These results turned out negative so during my next visit we discussed my results and options. He prescribed a medication to me that he explained would help increase my appetite and so it did. With his dietary instructions and with this medication, my life has changed so much. I have returned to a healthy weight and can enjoy social events and work again without having to worry about getting sick constantly. Highly recommended doctor! I cannot wait to see him again to thank him for his help.

The medical assistant was knowledgeable, friendly and made me feel comfortable. The Office is clean and appears dated. Wait time to see the Dr. was very short thankfully. All procedures are done onsite btw. I'd gladly recommend them!

I always ask if a clinic is in network on the call prior to my visit to ensure what happened today…read moredoesn't happen. Still, it did. I was confirmed in network on the call around 9am. I made an appointment for 2:45. I'm traveling today and decided to move my travel time to after my visit since this is quite urgent. It took me an hour to get there and and hour to get back..only for them to tell me something other than what was spoken over the phone. Ik I have a $40 or $25 co pay. Unfortunately, my time was wasted as I refused to see the clinician once they mentioned an additional fee because they are unable to confirm my total payment-something about the system not showing them and they were unable to call my insurance since it's a weekend, i have a "commercial insurance" and so on. All I wish was that all of this was communicated on the initial call, so I wouldn't have wasted my time commuting all the way over here when I could've been omw to my travel and figure out how to hold on until I get a hold of my doctor...

The first time I came to see Dr. Chuansheng Wang, I was a mess. I had an anxiety, stomach problem…read more It was Dr. Wang helping me, slowly back to my better health, monitor my wellness and my husband's health, too! He's a good listener, very knowledgeable, accommodating, sincere to give medical advices. He is one of the best doctor I have ever met. The staff are very kind and polite. I highly recommend Dr. Chuansheng Wang. Thank you!!

RUDE, BOSSY, INCONSIDERATE SUPPORT STAFF AND PSYCHO DOCTOR…read moreFind another gastrointestinologist. After my first colonoscopy, two staffers woke me up and immediately started telling me, "Sit up! Stand up! Get up! Walk!", etc. - AFTER I HAD JUST WOKEN UP FROM A GENERAL ANESTHESIA! I mentioned it to the staff and to Dr. Wang before my next procedure, and had another colonoscopy and an endoscopy which were fine. But it was back to the same old song & dance for my most recent endoscopy. I even reminded Dr. Wang before the procedure about this problem in order to avoid a repetition, but it was no use. Another staffer did this to me as I was coming out of anesthesia. After the procedure, I complained to the desk staff, and got treated like I was the one who did something wrong! Dr. Wang himself came out and TACKLED me as I was waiting for the bathroom! Yes, PHYSICALLY grabbed me, roughed me up, accused ME of being abusive, and threatened to call the police on me! All this for the "crime" of asking to be treated with a little respect. If you've never had a colonoscopy or endoscopy before, let me tell you it is not a pleasant experience. The day prior to and morning of a colonoscopy you have to drink this solution that makes you poop out everything inside of you, and comes out of you in a liquid form. So you're on the throne about every 30 minutes. The day of the procedures, you have to fast all day (AND the day before for a colonoscopy) and aren't allowed to drink ANYTHING - even WATER. On top of that, I'm 57. These gals who did this to me were definitely younger than me. So much for the sacred, ancient Oriental custom of treating your elders with respect. Given the discomfort of the prep and the procedure itself, you'd think they could do a little more to make patients comfortable and make an unpleasant experience as painless as possible for their patients. Well, think again. They're more concerned with clearing out the OR for the next patient. I can understand the need to stay on a schedule, but this is overkill. I'd rather face a long waiting period if it means that during and after my procedure I can be treated with a modicum of respect and consideration.
