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."
