Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor awful staff awful office manager.
Doctor peller was wonderful for my mother's appointment. We schedule on endoscopy was done in August 17th. It's September 15th. I'm still waiting for a call back for results for her test. office manager doesn't call back. Receptionist is rude tells me that she's in the bathroom, that she's off, that She has to have days off, that the dr gave her 100 call backs last week.very rude people in the office.Excellent doctor but your office staff is very unprofessional

I am revisiting this site to post an updated review because I revisited Dr Peller for a follow up and I was pleased with his diagnosis and treatment plan. I was unhappy previously with how things were initially handled and I’m still not totally pleased with the unprofessionalism of his staff but I won’t hold that against the physician. Dr Peller is highly experienced and I look forward to ongoing treatment and am thankful he was proactive during my procedure.

Terrible, impatient. Missed a very serious condition, told me I was fine and sent me home, but I ultimately needed major surgery, he literally almost killed me thru his incompetence . The WORST most rude staff I've ever experienced with a doctor
