Gastroenterologist
About Michel I. Kafrouni, M.D.
“Practicing evidence-based medicine is what we are taught to do, but it is not enough. I believe that compassion and availability to my patients are essential parts of my mission as a gastrointestinal specialist. I strive to always provide optimal care and outcomes, and that starts with caring. Patients with GI problems are not always ‘textbook’ cases, which requires us to work harder to connect the dots and to solve their problems. I enjoy my practice due to the diversity and variation not just from one person to the next but among gastrointestinal disorders, which provides me with daily challenges that keep my practice fresh and exciting. But the things that remain constant are, to my mind, spending the time it takes to do things right and being sympathetic to and concerned about each individual in my care.”

We've used Dr Kafrouni and Dr Ojeas at this facility for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. They are professional, expeditious and very friendly.

EVERY staff member was kind, respectful and paid attention to details which made me feel comfortable with their competence. They worked extremely well together like a well-oiled machine. Attitudes among the staff were positive which also provided a comfortable & safe environment. Thank you.

Pain free IV starting and anesthesia balance rendering a perfect colonoscopy procedure. Initial results sent home with me the same day.

Everyone in this medical facility, including Dr. Kafrouni, is very personable and experienced in their field of work. They genuinely care about their patients and listen to their concerns. I highly recommend this service.
My husband was handle with care and efficiency. The scheduling and he was seen on time. His medical problem was found while we was there and the doctor fixed it. Thank you for your great medical and personal touch.
The scheduling and nursing staff was efficient, pleasant , and very professional during and after visit. Also, before, during and after appointment. I felt very confident that Dr. Kafrouni was well knowledgeable regarding procedure I underwent. I would recommend practice to anyone needing GI consult or procedures.
Awesome Dr. with great bed-side manner. He is patient and listens to your concerns. If you are in need of routine checkups and/or gastric issue, this is your Dr.
Been a patient of this practice for many years. Dr. Kafrouni was the new physician I received due to retirement by another. I was a bit apprehensive but have found Dr. Kafrouni to be every bit as good as my previous Dr. Open, honest, with good bedside manner. Would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kafrouni.

Dr Kafrouni and his staff are outstanding. I recommend his service to anyone who needs a Gastroenterology Doctor.
Dr Kafrouni is a great Doctor . He always listens to me when I come into his office and treats me with whatever I need to have. The last was a colonoscopy and I can say that was not a lot of fun but we made it through it. Thank you for watching out for me Dr Kafrouni!
I’ve been going to Dr. Kafrouni since 2016 after a year of treatments that didn’t work with another doctor. He recommended a particular medication and after 1 week I started seeing results. I honestly thought I would never have a normal life again. He gave me hope! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Very professional & knowledgeable. He is extremely nice and also I completely trust his medical advice and treatment. I would not like to change gastroenterologists. Been going to him for several years now
Very caring and awesome doctors. They treat you like family.
I went to see Dr. Kafrouni a couple of years back, (just never wrote a review until now), for GI issues that I had for a while until I could not take the pain and a friend referred me to him. Following his advice on diet recommendations and taking the medication he prescribed I feel amazing now. I am so happy, I am completely healed. Thanks to this great Doctor.
The office staff and Dr. Kafrouni are wonderful and very helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. The staff at the colonoscopy center were the same. If you're going to have one, at least being treated by the best team around makes it bearable.
Kudos to Dr. Kafouni and his office staff as well as the nurses and staff members when I had my colonostomy procedure done. The anesthesioogist was kind and attentive. The outgoing nurse was the sweetest and helped my when going home.
