Patient Testimonial

Island Gastro is the best. I go every two years for my colonoscopy. They went the extra step when I was having the procedure done, they thought he saw something, and sure enough, they did. Thank god they did because I had stage 1 colon cancer. Because of them, things could have been a lot worse. I would recommend this office. They care about their patients and go the extra step...
Patti Schwartz
Professional and caring staff is on top of their game and takes pride in their work. From the moment I walked into this office, I was welcomed by the courteous staff that confirmed my appointment, for which I had a minimal wait. The nurse that took my vitals and recorded my information was courteous, friendly, and professional. My physician was very caring and professional, did not rush me, addressed all my concerns, and provided me with additional information relevant to my health.
Richard Doherty
My physican is great. Very thorough. Never rushed. Never an extreme wait like other doctors. I’ve been a patient for four years, and it’s always been consistent. The whole office, from top to bottom, is professional and friendly. Other doctors and offices should use them as a model!!!
Karen McDermott
I have had several colonoscopies there over the years. The staff is always pleasant. They are all professional. I have never had to wait long for a doctor to see me, which is not the norm at most medical offices. They have been doing my procedures for years has a great bedside manner. He is thorough and also very professional. I will continue to use them and would highly recommend them.
Gary Sands
I’ve been a patient at this practice for more than 20 years and have been very happy with my physician and the other doctors I’ve seen over the years. I am particularly pleased today. I woke up sick today, called for an appointment, and was given an appointment immediately. It was the shortest time I’ve ever spent in a doctor’s waiting room. I was seen promptly by a doctor who did not rush me not, my usual doctor, within the practice, and was on my way home within 20 minutes.
