Although Dr Alcacid herself is wonderful, I would've recommended this practice due to her staff. It…read moredoesn't matter how good of a physician you are if you're patients are dealing with very very nasty staff specifically Josephine, who won't let you get a word in edge wise when trying to relate your issues. You can't get an appointment, always passed to a nurse practitioner and you will be treated badly when you call. Find a different doctor, I am. It's horrible as she is good but she needs to reassess the staff representing her.

Dr. Alcasid is a great doctor. She is very thorough and has a wonderful bedside manner. She has…read morebeen my doctor for several years now and I believe she really cares about her patients. The front office has always been professional and accommodating and I never have to wait long for my appointment when I arrive. Highly recommend Dr Alcasid.

How many bad reviews does this practice need to receive of their staff before the staff is educated…read moreand trained in dealing with patients? Dr. Fam is my husband s physician at this practice. He is wonderful.Professional and caring and quiet expertise in this field. He also listens to his patients. It is a shame that patients are turning away because of the office front desk staff. They never identify themself when answering the phone. They hang up on you .No phone skills. Hardly any knowledge of an urology office practice.Rude and condescending when questioned in any way.

I have left a tell all review on Google. The story is long and unbelievable! I do not have the…read moreinclination nor the time to spend on this insane situation. I urge you to read my Google review on this practice. I will say a word of advice if you want to be treated disrespectfully and experience elder abuse ,particularly with Denise and the rest of the office staff then make an appointment! I will not accept this unacceptable treatment for my brother, my husband or myself...please read the Google review...and also choose wisely!

I can never get through to the office by phone, and when I leave messages, they're rarely returned…read more Wait times in the office are excessive, and it's very difficult to secure an appointment, especially when something urgent comes up. The staff and providers are not proactive; I have to follow up through the portal just to be sent for routine bloodwork, and ongoing monitoring isn't done unless I reach out myself, even though I'm on a biologic that requires regular checks every few months. I've been a patient here for over 20 years, but after my recent experience with a stool sample, I'm seriously considering switching providers. I completed a home stool test that was picked up by FedEx and sent to Allied Digestive Health's lab. After waiting nearly two weeks, and making multiple calls and portal messages, I was finally told today that the sample couldn't be processed, which seems like it was lost. No one has acknowledged the time this has cost me or the fact that I'm still not feeling well. Based on this experience, I would strongly recommend looking into a more reliable and responsive gastroenterology practice.

My wife and I both scheduled appointments with Dr. Yalamanchi and we are so glad we did. The…read morereviews in the past are regarding wait time and contacting the office via phone, which was a problem in the past when the office was having a difficult time scheduling and manning the phones. However, that is no longer happening. You can now schedule appointments online and the phone wait time is not bad at all. The schedulers are pleasant and very friendly. Yes, it takes awhile to get to see the doctor, but they will also make an exception if you can't wait, or if a test result is deemed important to consult with the doctor. They also have practitioner nurses who can care for lesser problems, prescribe meds, and order tests. Overall, I'm certain that your experience with Atlantic Coast Gastro will be pleasant, thorough and caring.

Was a patient of Dr. Chu 20 years ago. To say this man was kind and knowledgeable is an…read moreunderstatement. I had a benign cyst that had ruptured causing me to be hospitalized, Dr. Chu worked with at least 10 doctors to try and find the root cause. He was very instrumental to my recovery and I'm grateful for his expertise and explanation of what was going on and how to manage and care for my condition. Still thankful for Dr. Chu, and his comrades in the adjacent field Dr. Calabrese and Banks at Coastal Oral surgery.

My wife spontaneously started exhibiting possible stroke symptoms, I brought her to the ER at Ocean…read moreand the response was overwhelmingly positive!!! Immediate response from a very adept team which started assessing her condition. I would especially like to call out one of the lead nurses Samantha who was one of the best medical professionals I have ever seen in action.

I found all the staff professional, courteous and knew how to administer the tests. I had Dr. Elsawaf assigned to meet with me. I found he had a great down to earth personality, great listener and efficient in his job. I would definitely go back to him in the future although I hope I don't have to. Only negative is that you may have to wait awhile but I didn't mind.

Very difficult to deal with this practice. There is no sense of urgency no matter what your…read moresituation is. My brother is a patient at this practice. He is severely advanced COPD. Shore Pulmonary could care less. The Brick office staff is rude and act basically uneducated. When you call for an appointment be prepared to be offered an appointment 2-3 months out. There are many Doctors involved with this practice, so why the long wait? We said we would see any one of the Doctors on staff and we were told we couldn't do that!!! No changing Doctors! But when he was in the hospital, my brother saw a different Doctor EVERY DAY!!! His Pulmonologist saw him once in the hospital, she ran in his room and said she would go look at the CT scan and never came back! They definitely deviate from the standard of practice..so beware! Should you choose to use this group be prepared for an extremely rude office staff, long wait time to obtain an appointment and a come what may attitude! It's shameful..it is essentially inhuman treatment of extremely ill people!
