Once again this place has given me reason to write a review. I was seen in the ER and the…read morefollowing day had a tele visit ( which was previously scheduled before the ER visit) The doctor wants me to get a few tests done and said I would receive a call the next day to schedule. I did not hear from them so at 4:32 I called them. I was rudely told they are extremely busy and someone will call when they have the time. Hmm. One week later and still no call. I guess I will have to try and find another doctor or go back to the ER if I continue to have problems with my gall bladder. Another failure with this practice.

I've had UC for a decade now and have had many dealings with both of these practices separately and…read morenow together since the merge. Overall if you have GI problems and live in Lancaster there's no other big practice with major hospital affiliation that can provide the services they can. I've had some good doctors over the years Dr Allegreti being my personal favorite. Dr Morgan is young and very approachable and tends to care for alot of female patients. Dr Rosenburg can be dry and lacking personality but is the go to for his extensive knowledge of UC. With the merge some things have changed for the worst.....it's no longer an easy process to get a nurse on the phone or get a message to the office staff. In fact it takes forever, 20 minutes or so as of my last three calls, to reach anyone live. The phone system leaves alot to be desired. There's menu after menu, que after que, and at times you will feel like it's not working properly. Hang in there, eventually someone live will answer! On the plus side they have a few locations and if your doctor calls for you will get you in somewhere quickier, although it might not be your location of choice. if you have an urgent situation and need to see a doctor and call on your own - good luck! You're likely to get booked two months out regardless of the circumstance. At RGAL they were prompt with sending out reminders for bloodwork and follow up. Lancaster GI not so much, and as for the merge - that's to be determined. It's always best to be hands on with your healthcare and keep your own calendars especially if you have a chronic condition. Lancaster GI used to offer me medication samples and savings cards - but only if I asked. If you are on a maintenance medication it pays to ask. I once had a pharmaceutical card pay for my medication co pays for two years! That alone saved me thousands. Also if you have UC like myself do inquire about the new generic medication that recently came out for this condition. it's saved me a ton of money vs name brand. Again you must ask or it won't be offered. For female patients you now have the option of being seen exclusively in the womans & babies office. Not sure what the advantage is, especially since the main office is next door, but it is a smaller, more intimate setting. Moral of story with this and any medical practice these days is you'll have to take more control of your health. Be vigilant. Be organized. Keep records. Ask questions. Make phone calls. Don't be docile and sit back and let them totally mange your health. Healthcare is a business that needs to make a profit.

I am writing this review to share my very negative experience with Dr. Cohen. While I had hoped to…read moresee a different doctor at the practice, I was scheduled with her. My concerns began when a PA associated with the practice recommended a colonoscopy without ever performing a physical exam. The lack of care continued with Dr. Cohen, who provided no instructions regarding my blood thinners. She failed to coordinate with my hematologist, and after the procedure, when I had bleeding issues, I still received no guidance on stopping my medication or when to restart my medication. I felt there was a disregard for my physical health. I made it clear before the procedure that I had an Achilles tendon injury that was almost healed. Despite this, I left the procedure with a new complication to that injury, requiring me to wear a boot for at least three weeks. When I expressed my concerns about all of these complications, I felt she completely shrugged them off. I left feeling unheard and disrespected. I would not recommend seeing this physician.

It is frightening that this is such a large pediatric practice. They have, on several occasions,…read moremade some big errors. When it comes to someone's health-this is dangerous & not acceptable. For example-they gave me a prescription for the wrong medication for my child. On another occasion-a prescription for a medication that my child was on-was left in another patients file-they had to search around for it. They lost the copy of ID for my spouse that was in my child's file. Not too secure. I could go on. Dr. kumar is one that I like to avoid. She can get very nasty if you disagree with any of her suggestions-like for example, refusing a flu shot. If your child has a side effect from a med-she may get angry at you for bringing it to her attention-then insist that you do not have your child's best interest in mind, when asking for the med to be discontinued.
