Reviews
Everything went great for my procedure from the doctors to the anesthesiologist and the nurses everyone made me feel very comfortable and And the procedure was really fast and easy left there feeling great and no side effects.
Dr. Frachtman and all his staff are amazing. He’s been my Gastroenterologist for more than 30 years. Much praise!
Outstanding professionalism.
Dr. Frachtman and his entire staff are wonderful. Having a colonoscopy and endoscopy is not a fun experience, but they were all very reassuring and caring. They explained everything (even what to expect with the dreaded “prep”), made me comfortable on the day of, and followed up the next day to check on me and go over the results. I love Dr. Frachtman!
Having had a bad report from a colorguard, I sought a physician who would be able to help me. Two of my friends go to this practice, One, as a patient of Dr.Frachtman., Said how thorough and kind and And how he listens and takes his time to make sure that everything is in detail. I feel very confident and my upcoming procedure. He relayed my fears. Grateful because it’s difficult here to get into a position and they just happened to have had a cancellation and we’re kind enough to take me.
