I was a patient of Dr. Majuk's for many years. He is one of a kind, and unique. He is kind, caring and compassionate. He also happens to be the best Gastroenterologist I have ever had. I can't say enough about him. He really is head and shoulders above any other Doctor I have ever had in my life. Thank you Dr Majuk. God bless you! read more

Amazing physician. Knowledgeable, skillful, compassionate , great communication, responsive office staff.

This is a very poorly run office. The front desk is staffed with rude and incompetent people and very inefficient. The Dr himself is nice and competent but you have to get through the lousy staff first if you can. Terrible experience Sad read more

Thank you for being a blessing when I was so scared I'll never forget this love you guys read more

Majuk Zen, MD - Thank you dr. Majuk and all the people that work with him you're all the blessing I was very scared thank you - Gastroenterologist Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Excellent doctor. Has a stellar bedside manner uncommon in the field. His surgery success has been demonstrated through multiple personal experiences. Definitely recommend a consult with this doctor if you are seeking a better medical experience. read more

Dr Majuk is very thorough, unfortunately his office staff completely drops the ball. There is absolutely zero follow through, and you will likely be waiting for your biopsy results for months. The office atmosphere is confused and characterized by poor communication. If you have serious health issues and need something more than basic preventive, maybe look elsewhere. read more

This man, first, increased my already high steroid dosage in the hospital after I specifically told him and everyone else NOT to increase it. It was 160 mg/day plus the 100 mg retention enemas. This is illegal in case you didnt know. It was in a hospital setting so I didn't know until I asked a nurse. Second, he sought advice from my previous doctor (different insurance made me change) who was his mentor, and Stanford expert, who later I was allowed to see, and didn't related her direction correctly. Instead of one 100 mg of steroid retention enema a day, they gave me three a day! On top of the other steriods. read more

Dr. Majuk and Staff are truly awesome! All of them make a not so desired procedure well worth the time and effort spent. Their professionalism, willingness and patience to answer all Q's is always truly appreciated! Dr. Majuk is a very caring professional with quite a sense of humor. His bedside manner far surpasses that of any other Doctor! Tanya D. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Majuk's for some 10 years. I have severe colitis, resulting from pelvic radiation disease caused by colorectal cancer. I am sorry to have to re-write my evaluation of this physician and his office. I maintain that Dr, Majuk is a very delightful physician. He is gentle, inspires confidence, and seems to care. However, the continuum of service is crippled, and frankly, at this point, I have to conclude that in truth, the doctor does not care enough to proficiently run an office. Having an appointment with a "nice" man is great, but if coordinated service is non-existent, I must assume that in truth, the "care" is questionable. It does not require a PhD to train staff in general tasks and demand that they be efficient at their jobs. That they be courteous would be frosting on the cake, but too unrealistic a request for this outfit. His staff, which has to be one of the most obnoxious teams I have encountered. The coordination between them and the doctor is non-existant, and results in neglect. In doctors and medical staff, I am not looking for a friend. If these women did their job, I would take their sour personalities with a grain of salt. However, when I can not get my medicines, or get appointments that *the doctor himself suggests,* it is objectionable. This has happened now so many times that I am compelled to seek other medical attention. Their rudeness adds insult to injury. Here is an illustrative example of my experience: When needing refills, and ignored once again, I thought that I might be able to get around this hassle by *hand writing* two personal letters -- to the doctor, and to his assistant, specifying the prescription refill details, along with all pertinent phone numbers. I was cordial, expressing that "since there have been some problems getting my refills in a timely way, this might help..." I requested to be called once the prescription was called in. Nothing. My prescription was not filled, I was not called, and I was left without medicine, ONCE AGAIN. This time, when I exasperatedly called, I was told by the assistant that "Dr. Majuk said that the pharmacy told him that they didn't have the medicine in stock." This is patently untrue. The pharmacy had this very common medicine. Dr. Majuk also claimed that he had not said this. Lies atop neglect -- a woeful formula. I could have been advised, as to be able to search for my medicine elsewhere. Nothing. On addressing this, I was given samples of this exorbitantly expensive medicine (Lialda), until mine arrived from overseas. UNACCEPTABLE. Dr. Majuk, your staff reflects you, and the things you teach. I am done. I like you, but that is not why I am your patient, and does not suffice when considering proficient treatment. If one must throw down the proverbial gauntlet to simply obtain medicine, or worse, access you, I find it a price too dear to continue paying. read more

THE WORST indifferent, unresponsive, and uncaring office staff !! I have suffered from Ulcerative Colitis for 40+ years. Suffering from a severe flare up and recently moving to the SC area, my doctor referred me to Dr. Majuk. I called his office to explain my need and that I had been referred by Dr. ----. His receptionist stated that he wasn't accepting new patients. I repeated that I had a physician referral. The staff person said they would not make an appointment until they received the referral. The doctor's office faxed the referral and I promptly called. I was told that I had to wait for them to call me. A week passed and still suffering I called back. Again, I was told I had to wait until they called. Two more weeks pass, I called again and this time I was told the doctor had to review my "file" and then I would be called. Another week passed and still no call. Dr. Majuk, if you have absolutely no intention on seeing a patient then at least be humane, empathetic, but more importantly be honest !!!!! Don't compound a sick person's suffering . read more

Perhaps Dr. Majuk is one of the greatest doctors on earth, but I will never know. I have top of the line PPO insurance. My husband is having severe abdominal pain, bloody stools, and it's so bad he wakes up in the middle of the night sweating. We've been to the hospital and to our primary doctor, and they told us to see a specialist. So, Dr. Majuk has the best reviews. We call to get an appointment, and we're told even with PPO we need a referral. WHAT? It's not needed with our insurance. So, our doctor faxes a referral over anyways. We call back to get an appointment. But no, they won't give us an appointment until the doctor can review the referral to ensure that it's not a forgery . I ask, well, how long will that take and when will most likely get an appointment? It will take the doctor no less than one week to review the referral, however the next appointment may not be until the end of August or even sometime in September. Very calmly, I try to explain to the receptionist that my husband is in pain and every day it's getting worse. She huffs at me on the phone and tells me, "That's not my problem, if it's so bad why don't you go to a hospital." This doctor might be great, but if my husband or myself needs to get belittled, insulted and generally just shat on, then he's not the doctor for us. read more

Dr Majuk is the kindest MD I have ever had. He listens and does not judge. I have had an endoscopy which went amazingly well and would recommend him to all. read more

I have been Dr. Majuk's patient for nearly eight years. Even though I have to change to other specialists because of my insurance, I still highly praise this excellent doctor who is caring, competent and knowledgeable. This is mostly what a patient needs. Referring to other negative reviews of this part, I think relationships and communications are really important, which needs close cooperation by both doctor's team and the patients. For my preference, I feel comfortable with Dr. Majuk and his team. read more

Dr. Majuk is all you want in a doctor. Extremely knowledgeable, a great listener, responding to one's concerns in a soft yet assertive way, void of power trips, allowing the now fully educated patient to make calculated life choices after having clearly explained the benefits and potential downfall of one's options. I have been Dr. Majuk's patient for over 10 years and recommend him as one of the top professionals in his field. He calls ladies Miss, no matter if you are a great grandmother, and has a wonderful sense of humor. His name suits him, he is a gentle, brilliant 'majical' soul.........truly Zen. read more

My experience with Dr. Majuk and his staff was flawless and nothing short of first class. Each time I talked to the front desk his staff was cordial and professional, and my appointments were timely. I appreciated Dr. Majuk's guidance, and assistance in handling my procedure, and I really enjoyed our conversations. He is caring, interesting and professional. read more

Late in finishing this review but Dr Majuk and his staff rock. They make a, not so enjoyable, procedure easy to complete. They are kind, patient and informative at every step. Dr Majuk's bed side manor is a rare find. I never look forward to this procedure but at least I'm never nervous about the care. read more

Dr. Majuk is everything you want a doctor to be. He has a sense of humor and humanity. He does a great deal of charity work. He's an excellent doctor. He's not out for the money like most. He doesn't treat you like an object, but is concerned about you as a human being. Unlike most doctors, he gives of himself. Every other urologist in Santa Cruz finished a distant second next to this excellent and caring doctor. He has treated me twice, and he has given me some of his support and opinions as I go through a recent discovery of a tumor that sent me to the Stanford Cancer Center, He searched me out and was there for me. A truly wonderful man. read more

I have to agree with the majority of these reviews about the office staff. While Dr. Majuk is a very nice man and seems to be a competent doctor, the office staff is rude and when I call they have an attitude like "what do you want, why are you calling again?" Well I'm a patient with some problems and I'm seeking answers. I also don't receive calls back on issues I was waiting to hear from them about. Definitely lacking in customer service and politeness. I had assumed it was just me they didn't like, but after reading the other reviews it sounds like they treat everyone like that. read more

I have been trying to diagnose a chronic illness and was referred to Dr. Majuk for the gastroenterology issues accompanying it. He performed both an endoscopy and colonoscopy on me (I am QUITE young in comparison to his usual clientelle, mind you) and although they took biopsies from each test the results were "inconclusive," He explained I had "mild chronic inflammation" without any explanation as to why. They gave me some sample probiotics and patted me on the head. Now, having visited the Mayo Clinic, I had yet another endoscopy and THEIR biopsies showed significant bacterial overgrowth to an extent which was so concerning they immediately prescribed me special anitbiotics to treat it. How the HELL did Dr. Majuk not test for this given my complaints? Furthermore, they found significant issues with the arteries in my small intestine...Dr. Majuk had decided that since my first two tests were "fine" there was no need to look at my small intestine. Considering looking into medical malpractice given the severe lack of treatment I recieved, especially since I have been a patient of his for two years. read more

I have had Dr.Majuk as my primary GI Doc for over twenty years. He is compassionate, responsive and has saved my skin on a number of occasions over this time. Frequently (& most recently), my chronic bowel illness turned into a serious critical one. He was there once again to keep me from "circling the proverbial drain hole"! Plus, he followed up at night with phone calls to evaluate my progress. I can not say enough superlatives about him... read more

Dr. Majuk is GREAT!!! One of the best doctors I have yet to come across. Unfortunately, his office staff are some of the most officious/bureaucratic people I have ever met! They seem to think their job is to prevent patients from getting an appointment or copies of their medical records. They also do not return phone calls, nor do they call back after promising to do so (this promise made by the office manager, as well as the office voicemail recording). If I were Dr. Majuk, these people would be shown the door immediately. read more

Dr. Majuk is a caring and competent specialist. I have another significant life condition that adds to my constant gastro issues requiring a physician be willing to incorporate and modify as necessary any treatments. He makes time during my office visits to assure that I understand his recommendations, which go well beyond a simple prescription. He listens to my concerns and updates and incorporates those into the discussion. I highly recommend Dr. Majuk. read more

Dr Majuk was recommended to me by my primary care physician and I'm sure he must be a good doctor. The weak link--as others have stated--is the office staff. They wouldn't book an appointment for me until they received the records from my previous GI doctor, no problem, seems reasonable. After several weeks no records, previous GI doctor had never heard from Dr Majuk's office. No problem again, I make a phone call and have the records to them in a few days. First open appointment is six months out. Really. The attitude is unprofessional at best. Seek another doctor and save yourself a lot of time. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Zen Majuk for many, MANY years. While I find him to be caring, kind, gentle, competent and knowledgeable, I have to agree with the many reviews of his office personnel as gruff and unhelpful and at times rude. Dr. Majuk, if you're reading this, you should start over by staffing your office with people more compassionate and patient to reflect the high level of care you yourself provide. No patient should have to wait any longer than the same business day for a PA to call back or a prescription to be called or an appointment to be arranged. read more

I tried to contact Dr. Majuk's office today, but was told by a very rude receptionist that he was no longer at the number listed for him in the Yellow pages. When I asked if they could give me a forwarding number, I was told that, although they receive many calls for him at this number (476-6300), they have no idea what his number is and they have no intention of seeking to find this number so they can advise callers (and save themselves a lot of trouble). This message was delivered in a most unfriendly and unhelpful manner. So much for American-style medical service, bring on Obamcare (it can't get any worse than the present system)! read more

Dr. Majuk has helped me tremendously. His team is wonderful. The bottom line is I would recommend my own family to see Dr. Majuk without any hesitation. read more

Dr. Majuk first treated me when I was in the hospital with internal bleeding. He was wonderful, kind, caring, and treated me with dignity and respect. His PA Christine Miller is exceptional, how could such a fabulous doctor have a PA anything less. When I left the hospital she told me to call the office for a follow up the next week. When I told her I was a single mom struggling with a full time job that didn't cover the small amount of bills we had let alone give me the luxury of being able to afford insurance, she told me it was OK. Dr. Majuk knew and wanted to see me regardless. She even gave me her personal cell# and told me to call her if I had any questions or if my symptoms returned. These people are wonderful. They are working with me so that I can get the medication I need and still pay my rent. Thank you! You have renewed my faith in humanity! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the office staff. read more
