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."
