After several months of stomach pain, I went to my regular doctor and he referred me to this place…read more The doctor I saw (name intentionally omitted) was very good and took a long time to listen to my story and find out what I thought was going on. He has two different offices (one north in Clifton Park, and one south in Albany) and very early hours on certain days (like 7:30AM, which is perfect for me). We discussed various symptoms I had and in the end came to an agreement to start a new medication and see how things are going in a couple of weeks. He made me feel very comfortable during the entire process. Their sign-in procedure involves using tablets, which I suppose are better than paper forms. The place was easy to get to, and there was plenty of seating in the waiting room. I sometimes end my reviews with "I can't wait to go back" but that doesn't seem right for a specialized doctor's office! However, I do feel comfortable going back again for my follow-up.

When calling two months ahead of next required visit, the doctor is all booked. No follow-up, no system to keep patient informed, no way to know when is the optimal time to attempt to schedule next visit. Scheduling staff is uncaring and going through the motions. After being on hold for twenty minutes, finally got someone obviously working unsupervised from home with a dog barking while I try to explain my needs. Gave her my name and doctors name. After a a pause I got : "Date birth?", followed by :"Name?" No courtesy, obviously no caring. Just another annoying caller, no interest in trying to solve the problem. Basically:" Here's what I've got in the system, take it or leave it".

My fiance had gone to this location and met with Dr Brett Sklaw, regarding stomach issues he has…read moreendured for years. At my persistance, I made him go to the dr to get checked out. The dr then suggested an endoscopy and some other testing to be done. Supposedly everything came back normal and the doctor literally told him "well, i have no clue why ur dry heaving every morning and feeling sick to your stomach all the time. Only thing i can suggest is that since you have been living with it this long, i guess you can continue to just live with it". WHAT!!!? what kind of doctor says shit like that? Fast Forward to December 2017. Fiance went to primary physician with severe stomach pain. Primary suggested he go to Upstate Gastroenterology office. I explained the problem we had with that place 2 years ago. He then told us that Dr Sklaw no longer works at that location, and to see Dr Pronold. So primary doctors office made an appointment at gastro dr for the next day. Around 4pm (same day) we realized that his ultrasound results and blood work would not be back in time, so i called gastro office to cancel and reschedule for next week...well, when i called, all i got was a voice mail. ok, fine, so i left a detailed voicemail asking to cancel and reschedule the appointment and for someone to call me back. Well, i didnt hear anything from then, so at 9am (normal business hours) i called their office. It went to there answering service. I continued to call the office until they FINALY switched the phones from answering service to their stupid ass voicemail. Are you serious?! So, yet again, i left a msg asking for someone to call me back. 4pm The office FINALLY calls me back to say that "someone" cancelled hi appointment and rescheduled it for Dec 19. Umm, im the ONLY one who makes his appointments, so who exactly rescheduled? The nurse was like "idk, but it was rescheduled for him to see the nurse practitioner". I said "no, he needs to see the doctor, not the nurse practitioner". she then told me " the nurse practitioner can take down his information and then she can then talk with the doctor to see if any testing needs to be done" why not just cut out the middle man and let him see the friggin doctor? UGH. this place is so unprofessional, its not even funny. What a joke. Im just going to find a diff gastro dr for him to see, and this place can go to hell for al i care. idiots!

My experience with Dr. Yogesh Gupta was not a good one. I came into Advanced Gastroenterology…read morebecause I had been having gastrointestinal pain and I wasn't sure what was going on. This man has NO bedside manner and doesn't seem to care about his patients much at all. I walked into the office as a twenty-something and immediately upon hearing I was having pain he said he would schedule me for a colonoscopy. I hadn't been in his office for 2 minutes and he was kicking me out and sending me for expensive test number one (one which I thought I wouldn't be getting until I was 40+). I got to the hospital for the colonoscopy and it turns out he also had me scheduled for an endoscopy, which he didn't tell me about, which just shows the lack of communication he has with his patients. I got copies of my charts because I like to have records of all that and he had my medication history incorrect, which could really affect his treatment plan. Eventually after close to half a dozen expensive and invasive tests I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Upon diagnosing me he didn't take the time to explain anything to me or discuss how having this chronic illness would affect the rest of my life, but just kind of sent me on my way. He prescribed me the mildest medication he could, because he said he didn't like side effects of medications, which is valid, however I was having severe symptoms and needed stronger medication that would address them. This medication was very expensive and did little to nothing for me and I had to take it three times a day. Eventually I switched gastro providers and my new provider immediately put me on a steroid which made my symptoms go away and was much cheaper. The new guy told me he wasn't sure why I had been on the medication I was on as it hasn't been proven very effective and is supposed to work on Crohn's disease located in the colon and mine is located in the small intestine. Overall, Dr. Gupta doesn't give enough time to his patients and doesn't seem to care about the quality of care he provides. He seems much more interested in overscheduling his office and passing you off for as many expensive tests as he can.

I was scheduled to have upper and lower endoscopies done. It took me over six months to get an appointment. When procedure day arrived, I was wheeled into the operating room only to see an unfamiliar face. I had never met this doctor before, and didn't even know her name. She insulted me as I was being put under. I woke in recovery and told I'd have an appointment to go over the results in three months. That was the soonest they could get me in. I arrive to my confirmed appointment 15 minutes early as instructed. After 30 minutes of waiting a nurse informed me that Dr C was out ill and no one would see me. I later spoke with doctor only to find she called in at 0600 and informed staff she wouldn't be in for the day. No one told me nor did they give me an alternative appointment. I asked to have the doctor call me and was simply told "she'll call you tomorrow." No time was given. At 15:00 the following day I called and was told I had a phone appointment for 16:00. It would have been helpful to know that but I wasn't ever notified. At 17:30, an hour and a half after my appointment Dr C finally called only to say she'll see me in three months. Dr Cesar also said she called in at 06:00. When I spoke to Amanda Shamrock from Baystate Gastro, she threw Dr Cesar under the bus saying "She didn't call in until 09:15 and she was lying about calling in at 06:00 because no one got a message." Amanda then proceeded to blame the call center saying they were at fault. She did everything except apologize for their poor treatment. I then informed her I would be sending her a bill for the no call no show appointment I went to. That's when Amanda lost it and screamed that she was hanging up if I was going to threaten her. The staff is disrespectful of your time, including Dr Cesar, lie about each other, refuse to take any responsibility, and as I saw with Amanda, as she is completely unhinged. It's scary knowing a practice would allow someone who's that unprofessional to continue to work there. I would encourage everyone to find another gastroenterologist since this office is nuts! ***I've never even heard of this in my life but...I'm now getting crank calls from Baystate Gastro. I can only assume they're from Amanda. She's calling and hanging up when I answer. ***
