    I just cancelled my appointment for a procedure. I didn't mind the wait, I was on my phone playing…read moregames to distract me so the wait time wasn't the issue. I'd like to point out that the staff were amazing, really friendly and inquisitive. My issue is with Dr. Igal Khorshidi, I went in for a consultation and the doctor was the rudest and most impatient doctors I've ever interacted with. I explained that I was a bit embarrassed about my visit and he said "you're joking right? I've heard it all" with a really smug tone, it wasn't in a friendly joking manner that would put anyone at easy, he lacked empathy which is crucial with someone who's in the medical field. The consultation lasted less than 4 minutes, which he rushed me through, he even did a circle motion with his hands as to hurry me up, I felt so uncomfortable that l couldn't tell him my reasons for the consultation. He might be a doctor and have the credentials but he is not a good person, is impatient and seems like he has a short temper. If you're desperate and think "well I got an appointment fast, this is great" don't even bother this doctor is not there to help, just collect a check.

    Extremely unprofessional and ineffective communication with patients. When first scheduling an…read moreappointment with this office, I emphasized that I have 2 insurances, both a primary and secondary. I asked if the office accepts both my insurances, and they reassured me that they did via phone call. Thus, I scheduled an appointment. The appointment itself was disappointing. Firstly, the attending PA never formally introduced himself to me. He also never directly asked me what my health concerns were. He simply asked me basic medical history questions, which led me to believe he was an MA. Once I realized he was the PA, I expressed my concerns and reasons for my visit. (I also never met with Dr. Igal in either of my visits, which was never communicated.) My first visit was on a Saturday, in which I provided both my insurance cards for verification. A few days later, on a weekday, the office called me and stated that they did NOT accept my primary insurance, but rather only my secondary insurance. I expressed that this would be an issue, as my secondary insurance requires that I visit in-network offices for my primary insurance. The office insisted that because they accepted my secondary insurance, I would have no issue with my primary insurance/billing. In addition, the receptionist stated that they were NOT able to verify even my secondary insurance. They claimed that my secondary insurance appeared to be invalid. I knew this was certainly incorrect, as I was utilizing my secondary insurance in other offices. Turns out, they were entering my incorrect birth date. Then, Maria, the office manager, insisted that I come in for a follow-up appointment despite this insurance confusion. Thus, I came in for a follow-up appointment and asked to speak with Maria upon arrival. Maria and the PA both met with me. Maria insisted that my secondary insurance would cover my visits at this office, despite my primary insurance not being accepted at this office. I expressed that I did NOT believe this to be correct. Maria insisted that I would NOT receive any bill from this office. I even asked her if I could get this statement in writing, to which she replied, "I've never written a letter like that, but, believe me, if you get a bill from us, you can personally come yell at me." Well, I received a bill after all. I called the office to dispute this bill. Maria called me back, and said she was going to follow up regarding whether my secondary insurance was billed or not. She specially stated, "It seems this is a copay, but I don't believe your secondary insurance was billed. The lab is supposed to call me around 11 am tomorrow and I will confirm if they billed your secondary insurance or not." I never heard from her again. I had to email the office multiple times to even get a response. I even specifically asked the receptionist when calling regarding this matter, whether I should be contacting their office or the lab regarding this lab dispute. The receptionist told me to email their office, which I did. This entire experience has been extremely unpleasant and inconvenient. Avoid this office.

My mother has worked for doctor's for 40 years, so my bar is pretty high seeing my pseudo moms were medical secretaries. The medical assistant was very sweet and helpful. She was patient and I never felt rushed even though I was the last patient of the day. My appt was at 12:15 and my procedure was finished at 2:20. The anesthesiologist asked me many questions to get an idea of my previous medical history with anesthesia. He was also very kind and sensitive to my emotions and very patient. Dr. Paddu was SO KIND. I felt so comfortable talking to him and when I told him what had brought me to his office he wanted to see the other tests my pc doc had run. I only came to him for a one time check up, get a diagnosis and thought that would be it. But he was actually concerned! Not in a life-threatening way, but in a "that sounds odd and I would like to look at those test results, too". I definitely would recommend him to anyone needing a gastroenterologist. The entire office displayed an amazing bedside manner that should be shared among the medical community. I took a star off for my apt being an hour late AND the paper work sent to me (from the organization that set up the appt) said to arrive 30 minutes early. Since this was a weekend and the 7 train isn't running from Manhattan to Queensboro Plaza there was a lot of rerouting. It was easy though and the rerouting will end soon. I arrived 40 minutes early to my appt, that ended up being an hour behind schedule. After not eating for over 30 hours, I was bit stressed to say the least. I was given very sincere apologies for making me wait by each staff member as I was passed down the line (which was very efficient and no waiting at all!) and I was so happy to be seen I got over it really quick.

After my first colonoscopy, two staffers woke me up and immediately started telling me, "Sit up! Stand up! Get up! Walk!", etc. - AFTER I HAD JUST WOKEN UP FROM A GENERAL ANESTHESIA! I mentioned it to the staff and to Dr. Wang before my next procedure, and had another colonoscopy and an endoscopy which were fine. But it was back to the same old song & dance for my most recent endoscopy. I even reminded Dr. Wang before the procedure about this problem in order to avoid a repetition, but it was no use. Another staffer did this to me as I was coming out of anesthesia. After the procedure, I complained to the desk staff, and got treated like I was the one who did something wrong! Dr. Wang himself came out and TACKLED me as I was waiting for the bathroom! Yes, PHYSICALLY grabbed me, roughed me up, accused ME of being abusive, and threatened to call the police on me! All this for the "crime" of asking to be treated with a little respect. If you've never had a colonoscopy or endoscopy before, let me tell you it is not a pleasant experience. The day prior to and morning of a colonoscopy you have to drink this solution that makes you poop out everything inside of you, and comes out of you in a liquid form. So you're on the throne about every 30 minutes. The day of the procedures, you have to fast all day (AND the day before for a colonoscopy) and aren't allowed to drink ANYTHING - even WATER. On top of that, I'm 57. These gals who did this to me were definitely younger than me. So much for the sacred, ancient Oriental custom of treating your elders with respect. Given the discomfort of the prep and the procedure itself, you'd think they could do a little more to make patients comfortable and make an unpleasant experience as painless as possible for their patients. Well, think again. They're more concerned with clearing out the OR for the next patient. I can understand the need to stay on a schedule, but this is overkill. I'd rather face a long waiting period if it means that during and after my procedure I can be treated with a modicum of respect and consideration.

Afterwards, I scheduled an appointment to do the colonoscopy in March. I was nervous, but Newtown's staff was very professional and experienced. They called me starting 2 days before the procedure and gave me a detailed rundown of what to expect and do prior to the day of the procedure. Everything went along smoothly. Props to the anesthesiologist for using the perfect amount, so that I was clearheaded in a minute or so afterwards. I highly recommend Newtown. Thank you, Dr. Chan and Staff.

They must desist insisting on giving appointments only to have us wait additional hours for a procedure that in itself takes additional hours to perform? The pop music coming through their speakers exacerbates the headache. Wish they'd play The Piano Guys, or Instrumental Jazz or anything other than the background static noise. It does nothing to ease the physical and mental unease from the toll this procedure produces. This is by no means a reflection on Dr. Shalomov. Again, his bedside manner is exceptional. Sweet Marisol, a young woman (they all seem so young), took my blood pressure. The anaesthesiologist was rougher than the previous one during the colonoscopy. If you can, request for Dr. David Chang. He's gentle, kind, and has a clue. Side note: please provide gluten free options of crackers, pretzels, or cookies. The nurse was giving me crackers stating "you'll be alright. It just has wheat and soy". Wheat....is gluten. Not up for hives, and allergic reaction after a procedure. Hope this review helps improve what others have voiced as needing improvement. Again, no reflection on Dr. He is excellent. ------- Review submited August 2022 ------- Colonoscopy procedure was performed earlier this month. And though initially the music played in the waiting room did nothing to soothe the anxiety deriving from lack of nourishment, (it was an afternoon appt) and the increasing concern for what may be found, the procedure itself is what leads to my the 5-star rating. The anesthesiologist, Dr. David Chang , used strategies to calm the anxiety. Through an offer to pray for me based on my personal faith, Adrian provided comfort. And through a warm smile, and the assurance everything will be alright, Dr. Shalomov's bedside manner was wholeheartedly appreciated. Although I am not looking forward to the upcoming endoscopy, we know these are necessary to prevent the "If you'd come sooner..." sobering prompt. My only suggestion is to play instrumental, or upbeat music to help those waiting for long hours in the waiting room alongside those who greet us at the door.

The bowel comes out normal 1-2x a day and easily once in the morning and once at night. When I don't take the Emma vitamins, I notice the difference and I feel worse and the bowel doesn't come out and I have diarrhea or watery stool. I do feel better after being unclogged. These are better and safer than laxatives. Laxatives are not normal to use every day and probably not safe for long term. I do like the Emma brand very much they work to normalize the bowels. I recommend the company to market their products better and shorten the long video and just create a normal Shopify website. The website does look scammy and outdated but I can testify that the vitamins are good.

I do not do business with on line advertisers without googling them after being a victim of fraud, and sadly 99.9% of online advertisers are either fake or not reputable and greatly exaggerate their product or services, or outright lie. I was told that a lot of the pictures you see for products being sold do not exist in their fake businesses, they steal photos of beautiful clothing or products and you never get them or get low quality cheap products and their promises of easy return are non existent because after they get your money good luck finding a website or phone number to call. If I see something advertised I usually go to a volume retailer on line and see if they carry the product and 9 times out of ten, they have low it bad reviews, in my opinion it's best to get out if your home and visit local retailers and see and touch what you'd like to purchase. Same goes for high end grocers with good delivery, the people that they hire have no clue how to pick items of quality or don't know what the product is just grab whatever they like and at times triple by it quadruple the quantity to boost the over all price so their tip is higher, and good luck getting a real person or one in this country from customer service you or they understand the problem because of language problems, and that's the service you get as a "Prime" customer. So I've decided that it may be best to just go myself and pick the quality groceries I'm paying a lot of $$$ for so I'm not disappointed and the bonus is I get exercise!
