    Poor bedside manners and poor decision making. Caused me to repeat a 30 hour prep for nothing. Was rigid and unreasonable.

    I am extremely disappointed by the absolute poor service at Dr. Stein's office. My wife has been trying to get a prescription for a medication related to Crohn's Disease for six weeks. Dr. Stein may well be a great Doctor, but if you can't get what you need from his office staff, it simply a very frustrating waist of time! Do yourself a huge favor and go somewhere else, maybe they will actually provide care for you. He should be ashamed of himself and now that the Crohn's has had time to flair completely up, it is going to be even harder to get her stable. If you read this Dr. Stein, shame on you for not caring enough to have the decency to follow through with you patients. She has been you patient for many years and deserves better!

    Dr Theodore Stein - best GI ever!

    A truly arrogant, unpleasant and condescending person. I spoke with him only once, then immediately changed to another physician.

    I'm keeping my original review for continuity. This update is to show, using my own documentation,…read morehow biased and prejudicial language in medical notes can permanently distort a patient's credibility and access to care. I count myself lucky I met my new GI doctor, although treatment is complicated now because of my worsening injuries. Over the past four years I've had time to study what happened, review my records, and talk with professionals who helped me understand how the bias in my care took shape. The pain I was in left me cognitively impaired for a long time, which made it hard to see how dismissive the treatment really was while it was happening. Because of the wording used in my chart -- phrases like "patient is convinced" and "very likely psychosomatic" -- it's very likely the kind of language that led other doctors to dismiss my concerns and assume the problem was psychological. My injuries worsened, the connective tissue in my abdomen continued to tear, and I lost muscle support through my torso. A genetic condition was also upregulated and my skin permanently traumatized. That language still follows me through my medical record and continues to influence how I'm treated. Nearly four years later, I'm still trying to recover from my injury and the physical and psychological damage caused by dismissive, biased documentation and the prejudice that began in this office. I'm including Dr. Nowain's original notes, and other records that corroborate both the intense pain I was really in, the celiac artery compression and soft tissue damage, and the continual gaslighting using prejudicial language to dismiss my accounts and leave me in pain and suffering. These are all before the injury worsened. I can still hear Dr. Nowain's voice from that day in his office -- angry, certain: "You're having a panic attack!" When I said I wasn't, he replied, "That sounds just like something someone having a panic attack would say." It still plays in my head like I heard it yesterday. So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. Best of luck in all your health journeys, and remember: "One foot in front of the other, bravely forward. Always."

Recently, I had my tri-annual procedure. Once again I was reminded of his commitment to my digestive health. I don't think there's a better gastroenterologist on the planet. When I was a child, I listened to my elders speak about how poorly they were being treated by physicians who were in charge of their care. I only wish that their care had been provided by a physician like Dr. Edelstein. Both Sandra and Nelly make up Dr. Edelstein's office support team and do a great job. I want to thank Rose, Maleah, Ava and Eva who were all instrumental in preparing me for my procedure, for their kindness and professionalism at the BHEndosurg facility.

I only see Dr Edelstein for colonoscopies which are anywhere from 3 to 5 years for me. I do pay a " administrative fee" for my rheumatologist who is my main Dr and I see multiple times a year. His fee is $250. I don't think for a Dr I will see once for pre colonoscopy and then for colonoscopy it is right to charge that high of a fee. Disappointed because my experience with Dr Edelstein has been good but now I will have to look for another Dr since I don't want to pay the $650 "administrative fee"

The people on the phone should just be taken out back. If your life is that depressing then don't do it. The amount of mistakes or misdone appointments and then canceling things when the dr decides he wants to go out of the country when you've already waited 2-3 months for your appointment. And them scheduling a follow up call so you can get some results from your procedure and ask questions because you didn't really get to ask anything immediately after your procedure, then never calling you. And when you call them asking where your call was they say we didn't have anything scheduled for you. So you have to forward them the email THEY sent you cause they are terrible. And have no accountability for anything. Always trying to blame someone else. IF YOU CAN AVOID DEALING WITH THIS PLACE FOR THEIR FRONT DESK AND TELEPHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEN YOUR LIFE WILL BE A HAPPY ONE. They also avoid helping you at all costs. They are scared to talk to anyone because they are absolutely incompetent. They will say someone will call you back then never call you. They don't know what they are doing. At any normal job they would be fired. Customer service is not their strong suit at all. After sending them something to fill out 2 weeks ago they were soooo lazy to not take care of it then after having to call about 20 times they say someone will get back to you but yet again NO ONE CALLS YOU BACK. And then when you get them they say give us another day then the next day say give us another day then the next day say give us another day .... And so on and so on.
