"Dr Gene was exceptional, knew I was going to need a procedure after having my gall bladder out. Had it performed the next day. Very pleasant Dr and staff."
"It’s so nice to have one reliable physician in your area that actually cares and takes time to listen to you. He goes out of his way to always try to accommodate your needs, and tries to figure out what is best for you. I wish more younger physicians could follow his code of ethics and professionalism. Never feel rushed. Great office staff too."
"Has a wonderful personality. Listens to the patient right on top of things and takes immediate action to get done what needs to be done. Easy to get along with."
"“Dr. Gene” is extremely interested in what might be ailing his patients during his prescreening office discussions. He asks questions and follows-up immediately if he doesn’t feel he has the clearest understanding of the patient’s health issues. Mistiming of ingestion of prescribed medication(s) before or after meals CAN affect the effectiveness of the medicine(s). Yes. He fully completes the in-office body checks. But his desire to learn the “REAL” root cause of his patient medical “issues”, makes him standout as a genuine “Dr. Gastro Expert” in the gastroenterologist field in Connecticut."
"Dr Sapozhnikov was very thorough when meeting with me, asked all crucial question concerning my ongoing heath issue. He I very proactive in searching for answers as to why I am having these medical problems and will not stop until a correct diagnosis is found. I can not say enough great things about his care."
"I had a forthright & informative with Dr. about need for antibiotics prior to my procedure. He advised me that was no longer necessary (I have an artificial left hip & tns implant my lower left back)."
"Dr Sapozhnikov is a fabulous physician, excellent clinician, and kind practitioner. He stays atop current research which resulted in him being able to diagnose an unusual and serious condition several years ago. I can’t recommend him highly enough."
"This doctor and his staff saved my life back in 2007 with a colonoscopy. A Stage 3 Colon cancer diagnosis resulted in surgery and chemotherapy which resulted in me being able to write this in 2022. My latest visit resulted in a couple of polyps being removed and he and his staff continue to provide great, totally professional care. I will definitely continue with his plan to scope me every three years."
"Endoscopy went very well, no problems except that the elevator wasn't working but the nurse helped me navigate the stairs while woozy from my anesthesia."
"Everyone is so kind and thoughtful here. I came in to discuss a personal and embarrassing issue. Dr was kind, emphatic……. Felt more comfortable going forward with his treatment advice."
"my second procedure with Dr Sapozhnikov. he kindly explains everything, puts me at ease before and after (when sharing results) in a way that leaves no lingering questions. the whole office is professional, informative and polite"
"Dr. Sapozhnikov has been my gastroenterologist for about 8 years; he and his staff are exceptional people. I am cared for in the upmost of care; and his assnt Heather rocks."
"Dr. Sapozhnikov has a kind and compassionate beside manner, communicates clearly, does not rush through appointments, allows plenty of time for patient questions and ensures they understand the information provided. Highly recommend."
"I have a family history of Colon cancer. So this unpleasant test has to be performed every couple years. Dr. Sapozhnikov and his staff make it as quick, painless and bearable as possible. You can go in relax and you done before you know. That's about all you could ask."
"Although the prep is always somewhat unpleasant, the procedure itself is a breeze. I experienced no lingering after effects or subsequent problems. If not for the delay in getting into an operating room, all would be perfect. But that was unavoidable."
