In patients' words

"Although they were extremely busy, my wait time was minimal. Dr Walczyk has been my doctor for at least 10 years now and I am very happy with his care. Highly recommend!"

Northern Medical Group Gastroenterology Division Patient Testimonial

"I liked Dr. Buffa until I woke up in the recovery room after my colonoscopy. In front of at least 10 other recovering patients and general staff he announced that I had a giant tumor which was so huge he couldn't finish the procedure. So much for patient confidentially."

Vitals Patient Review (Dr. Salvatore Buffa)

"Not good! I have never met him only via telehealth. He recommended expensive products, ordered expensive test that I had to pay for. After that never heard from him or his office again. Not helpful at all! Stay far away."

Healthgrades Patient Review (Dr. Anthony Starpoli)

"I would have given a 5 if not for the front desk. Seems like everyone trying to look busy so someone else at will sign in. Stood waiting without any acknowledgement from 3 women at desk."
