The ER, like most city ER's, was jammed. with all rooms and hallways filled with patients. The wait time was longer than it should have been for my condition unfortunately. The CT scan revealed a blocked small intestine. I was given anti-nausea and morphine. I stayed in the ER overnight and surgery was performed the next day by Dr. Kevin Pei with minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Pei discovered that I had an intussusception intestine. He removed 43cm of my small intestine and reattached it with staples. I was then moved upstairs to a private room in the Kimmel building. The care by the surgical team and nursing staff throughout my six-day stay was outstanding along with their state-of-the-art technology. The practice is recognized as one of the best in the country and I certainly believe this to be true.

My initial reaction to this establishment was relatively positive even if my rear was on the table…read more(literally). The wait time put the time I spent with Dr. Aronoff to shame (e.g. the wait was long and the receptionists had more personality), but who wants a proctologist poking around and jabbering for too long? Not me. Regardless, I do like to feel like I'm the center of the doctor's attention and that I am being well cared for. I felt neither at this office. Worse yet? My 5-ish minute interaction with this in-network doctor inevitably cost me ~$350 WITH my comprehensive insurance. GAG, right? Turns out it all comes down to billing codes. Even though I had the EXACT same tests fully covered elsewhere by another in-network provider, this specific office used billing codes that were denied by my insurance. I called this doctor's office for assistance and was offered misinformation and confusion over a period of many months. Not only that, I had to continually provide the same information again and again (even information I previously faxed). I was also repetitively told the doctor knew about my issue and "was working on it," which translated into my receiving a two-sentence "letter of necessity" almost 6 MONTHS AFTER MY APPOINTMENT. Given the lack of effort and attention, it probably comes as no surprise that my insurance appeal was denied. Dr. Aronoff was paid many months ago and obviously cared more about the cash than me. He never took the time to contact me or even to speak with me after my appointment when I called numerous times seeking help with my billing challenges. At very least, you'd think that this office would make note of my insurance, of which they are an in-network provider, and make sure that my preventative tests were submitted with and covered by appropriate codes. No such luck. BOTTOM LINE: AVOID. The patient comes last in this "slam, bam, thank you for your cash Sam (or mam!)" business. This doctor is an in-network AETNA provider, but you'd never know it. If you want caring, professional service look elsewhere.

My one star is clear. I had two visits that resulted in a bill balance to pay of $600-$700 per…read morevisit. Mind you, this is after my insurance covered the bill (totalling $1,836.00 each) for a 20-minute office visit each, where they only checked me: by an anoscopy. No other procedure was done. Just a "yes ,we need to take care of this". Maybe it is hard for a Dr to understand that these amounts are not small for regular people. Of course ,now the ping pong game starts with the Dr blaming insurance and insurance blaming the MD. A payment plan is offered. Leaving me the patient in the middle who only would ve liked to have the CHOICE to say "no" to something instead of getting surprise charges he HAS to deal with. Feeling completely taken advantage of from both sides.

I should say I read a review that mentioned that Dr. Gingold had a cold hand, which must have been…read morea review for comedic relief because frankly, he has to wear gloves during his examination.So if it's cold,that could be the source, also a cold microscope probe could be another source for your sensitive area's lack of warmth, certainly not in the bedside manner of Dr. Gingold. I have been treated and examined by Dr. Gingold for over 10 years and I can say he is the best at what he does, with a very congenial bedside manner. He did my hemorrhoidectomy surgery about 7 years back and did a great job. I have always done my follow-ups with him. I just recently flew back to New York from my new home in Houston just to have an exam from him because he is very knowledgeable in the field, concerning preventive measures as far as potentially cancerous polyps are concerned. Read his newspaper article and his views concerning early attack of polyps. I highly recommend Dr. Gingold, but his schedule has been reduced lately to about 3 days during the week and surgeries are only on Fridays. So your chances of getting in to see this specialist is very tight. I also highly recommend Dr. Gottesman in that office also,I have seen him in the past and he has more availability. Hope this helps everyone in your search for well trained knowledgeable health professionals in treating and prevention measures when it comes to your healthcare. Thank you..and be well

My review got removed, cause according to the guidelines i didn't provide enough content…read more I visited Dr. Gingold a couple of times and every time i saw him he did not talk to me at all. he examined me, checked what was wrong and did not explain the issues with me. He performed a small surgery, he did not explain to me what to expect or the care i should have after. when asked questions he just handed me a brochure. it seemed as if he really did not want to deal with me at all. I read the reviews that say that he has been nice to people. and it just seems like they talk about a different person. It felt like a veterinary visit more than a human doctor. this was not an isolated case, i visited multiple times until i could not take this kind of treatment anymore. yes. cold hand and bad treatment.
