In patients' words
"The doctor visit was excellent, but the experience was undermined by disorganization among the staff... due to a lack of proper communication and information, I had to cancel the procedure."
— Florida Digestive Specialists patient review"After waiting for 6 months to get an appointment, I received a call from the Dr's office, 1 week before my long-waited appointment date They were notifying me to cancel my appointment... UNPROFESSIONAL and a testament to how they care for people."
