I received a call around 8:00 a.m., asking if I could come in earlier. I replied how far we lived from the Gastro Assoc, and he said well, you can be here a little bit after 9:00 a.m. We started running around trying to be there on time. We walked in at 9:15 a.m., and there were a lot of people, apparently, who had been told to be there early. The receptionist was clearly annoyed. I went back for the procedure and was not seen earlier. I thought a lot of hassle for nothing. I got back there finally, and the nurse anesthetist was annoyed because they did not have the paperwork regarding some heart problems I have had. She was snapping at me. I had never been told to give them notes from my Cardiologist. I did not appreciate that either. I was looking at the number of patients that they have and the staff running around. It seems to me that they are more interested in the number of people they get in rather than taking a true interest in the patient. The staff is cordial, but very busy. Lastly, I am finally back in recovery. I am dressed and waiting to be released. They said the Dr. will be in a few mins. After about 1 hr, He comes in and talks with me for about 3 mins, and tells me to make an appointment with him. It took so long for him to see me; I think he did another surgery. Meanwhile, the staff had called my husband to pick me up outside. We left there truly annoyed.

I asked several times for information on what the patient portal was in order to keep up to date with my treatment, and they would not give me an answer. I was also told I would receive a free trial of a medication to treat my condition, however they decided to withdraw that offer without talking to me. Not to mention- there is only 1 type of medication on the market for my condition, which means I have been left with no other options for treatment through this office. There was also a consistent lack of information given to me about any of the processes of how they could help me. Don't go here if you want a thorough and helpful experience.

Still more than 1 month out to see the Dr. Long ago when this was called Digestive Disorders Assoc. I canceled seeing Dr Epstein because, as I recall, had at least 2 maybe 3 onsite appt cancellations. Then started seeing DR Walov. We were in sync for many years. I saw nurse m on short order. Was to get a stool sample pkg. I forgot about it as I left, but they did not execute the procedure. ​ So at this juncture I will likely set up a second appt elsewhere to getba 2nd opinion by a Dr who a close friend highly recommended.

She would rather ask a set of pre-fixed questions and would not let patients share their main signs and symptoms. Her assistant was better in paying attention. Dr B lacked bed side manners, empathy and professionalism. We do understand that physicians are rushed to complete the visit in a certain amount of time. However, she did not make any effort to diagnose the patient properly. We visited her to get a second opinion. She seemed to be pretty convinced about the prior diagnosis and was just focused on the computer screen to complete her forms/tasks. We were highly disappointed.

I am writing this review to share my very negative experience with Dr. Cohen. While I had hoped to…read moresee a different doctor at the practice, I was scheduled with her. My concerns began when a PA associated with the practice recommended a colonoscopy without ever performing a physical exam. The lack of care continued with Dr. Cohen, who provided no instructions regarding my blood thinners. She failed to coordinate with my hematologist, and after the procedure, when I had bleeding issues, I still received no guidance on stopping my medication or when to restart my medication. I felt there was a disregard for my physical health. I made it clear before the procedure that I had an Achilles tendon injury that was almost healed. Despite this, I left the procedure with a new complication to that injury, requiring me to wear a boot for at least three weeks. When I expressed my concerns about all of these complications, I felt she completely shrugged them off. I left feeling unheard and disrespected. I would not recommend seeing this physician.

I needed to call the Anne Arundel Gastroenterology office located in Stevensville MD on 130 Love Point Rd. to get the instructions I needed for an upcoming colonoscopy test. The receptions asked me if I was having any problems, I said I get constipated once in a while. AND! All of Sudden I had to make an appointment to the see the Physician Assistant on Love Pt rd. to talk about my constipation! When I went to office in Stevensville on Love Pt Rd., both receptionists at the front desk area were extremely rude and very disrespectful. Especially the receptionist who signs you in! (I will come back to her in a little bit.) So, I was led to a room where the PA asked me if I was having any problems. I told him I get constipated once in a while. And he said that's normal for someone my age and it happens sometimes. Then he gave me the instructions with the items I needed to purchase (Laxatives) for the colon test, and I was charged $80 for this stupid office visit! I was OUT $80 for NOTHING! And before I left the office, one of the receptionists told me she needed to take my BP and asked me to sit down at a desk behind the nasty receptionist who signs people in. As I was waiting for my BP results, Hahaha, I heard someone snoring and the first nasty receptionist was sound asleep snoring loudly! while sitting straight up in her chair! And then I spent 2 days going from drug store to drug store looking for a 10 oz bottle of (Clear) Magnesium Citrate which I couldn't find BECAUSE IT was recalled 6 months ago! They're giving instructions out for laxatives patients can't find! OMG I have never been so pissed off! Where's the quality of workmanship anymore, it seems the younger generation doesn't meet the standards of quality work! And I already spoke to three other employees from AA Gastro today and they don't appear to be taking any corrective action here either! I only gave them 1 star because I had to! so I could write this review!
