It…read moredoesn't matter how good of a physician you are if you're patients are dealing with very very nasty staff specifically Josephine, who won't let you get a word in edge wise when trying to relate your issues. You can't get an appointment, always passed to a nurse practitioner and you will be treated badly when you call. Find a different doctor, I am. It's horrible as she is good but she needs to reassess the staff representing her.

Dr. Alcasid is a great doctor. She is very thorough and has a wonderful bedside manner. She has…read morebeen my doctor for several years now and I believe she really cares about her patients. The front office has always been professional and accommodating and I never have to wait long for my appointment when I arrive. Highly recommend Dr Alcasid.

My wife and I both scheduled appointments with Dr. Yalamanchi and we are so glad we did. The…read morereviews in the past are regarding wait time and contacting the office via phone, which was a problem in the past when the office was having a difficult time scheduling and manning the phones. However, that is no longer happening. You can now schedule appointments online and the phone wait time is not bad at all. The schedulers are pleasant and very friendly. Yes, it takes awhile to get to see the doctor, but they will also make an exception if you can't wait, or if a test result is deemed important to consult with the doctor. They also have practitioner nurses who can care for lesser problems, prescribe meds, and order tests. Overall, I'm certain that your experience with Atlantic Coast Gastro will be pleasant, thorough and caring.

Atlantic Coastal Gastro sent emails with the link to the patient portal, I filled out the forms…read moreweeks ago. Atlantic Coast Gastro called yesterday saying they didn't have my info and I HAD TO SUBMIT IT TODAY or my colonoscopy would be cancelled. Their emails only had a link to Allied Digestive Health patient portal. My info was all there. Called Atlantic Coast Gastro back to get this cleared up. Got voicemail. Called 4 times over the next few hours, left 4 messages (dialed a few different phone #s). Asked for a call back since ASAP they're threatening to cancel my proceedure. NO CALL BACK. Left work 1 1/2 hrs early to get to the Jackson office before they close at 4. Got there at 3:30 - office is closed (Hours of operation not updated online). Drove to the Brick office and filled out a form with everything already on the patient portal. I was literally shaking with anger, I'd been anxiously trying to get this cleared up for HOURS. Maybe whoever called me from Atlantic Coast Gastro didn't know how to access Allied Digestive patient portal? First day on the job? God knows. LITERALLY GOT A CALL BACK AS I WAS TYPING THIS - because i left a long angry voicemail this morning. Still livid at yesterday's experience, will have to reconsider using this office for next proceedure.

I had a benign cyst that had ruptured causing me to be hospitalized, Dr. Chu worked with at least 10 doctors to try and find the root cause.

Still thankful for Dr. Chu, and his comrades in the adjacent field Dr. Calabrese and Banks at Coastal Oral surgery.

Breast Biopsies: First, it took a few months to actually get this scheduled, not with them as a whole, not at all, they were fantastic.. but with my Insurance. Anyway, made my appointment and the long and short of it is, the staff, especially my nurse who held my hand, wiped my brow and talked me through the pain, because it hurts a lot, gave me water and helped me remain calm and breath. She is an absolute angel & if hadn't been for her, I don't think I could have managed, my biopsy's were 1 day 8:30a-12:30p, that's a long time....and Like I said b4- do not let the fear and the it can't happen to me---dissuade you from taking care of yourself, I put it off for far toooooo long. I highly recommend this location for medical care. I see that others have not had the same positive experiences or desired outcome, but I can only speak for myself and my experiences, which have been positive and exemplary.
