What patients say

Patients praise

  • Professional and clear communication from some physicians
  • Successful, painless, and well-explained procedures (e.g., colonoscopies)
  • Helpful and caring demeanor reported by some patients

Common complaints

  • Poor or unprofessional office staff communication (e.g., hanging up, not returning calls)
  • Long wait times for appointments or procedures
  • Concerns regarding billing practices and high procedure costs
  • Perceived lack of attentiveness or short appointment durations

In patients' words

"Everything went very smoothly and painlessly. Dr. Mecum explained the procedure clearly, performed the colonoscopies without any problem, and took time to review and explain the results to us."

Vitals (Dr. Robert Mecum review)

"His staff is also very unreliable and rude. I had to hold their hand every time to make sure something was done."

RateMDs (Dr. John J. Lah review)

"He was dismissive of my pain labeling it as "butterflies" and then proceeded to practice fraudulent billing. ... Go somewhere where a doctor will care about your health more than coding your visits to get more money."

WebMD (Dr. John J. Lah review)
