Reviews
I have being going to Dr Catinis for years. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Dr Catinis is very thorough and caring. I just had 2 procedures done last week and was so impressed with the new procedure clinic. Dr Catinis’s staff are so courteous and kind especially at the procedures clinic.
Front desk quick, efficient, respectful, and courteous. Doc was relatively on time, spend sufficient time, answered all questions, was professional and left me with a sense of confidence.
Dr. Catinis is a true professional! I’ve been seeing him for the past few years and he literally saved my life.
Dr. Catinis and his nurse Sharon are wonderful. Both are very thorough and caring. ❤️
Dr. Catinis’ skills and knowledge have given me back my life. Meals have been a dreaded activity for some time. Dr. Catinis has changed all of that for me. I am finally able to enjoy a vast variety of food again. I highly recommend Dr. Catinis if you are having any type of gastro problem. Get your life back.
