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.

Knowledgeable professional
Dr Totta took plenty of time to answer my questions and address my concerns. I felt that I was in competent hands.

Meat
Spent 6 days in the hospital prepping for a colonoscopy. Nothing to eat, only water, Go Fresh and more water. On the sixth day a CNA made a tiny mistake and Dr Totta refused to do the procedure and wanted me to wait until the next morning. I got up and left the hospital, weak, faint and confused because all the vitamins and nutrients had been washed out of my body. Took me 4 days to recover from this and I hadn’t had the colonoscopy. I felt like a piece of meat.

I have had wonderful experiences with Dr. Totta with my colonoscopies. However, I made an appointment with him for another problem and approximately 2 weeks later his office staff called to say he could not see me because of a procedure he would be in during the time of my appointment. The scheduling office never answers the phone so I called and left a message to reschedule. After ten days when they had not returned my call, I called them again. (This is despite their warning to not call them often). She finally offered an appointment 2 1/2 months after my original appointment date. When I told her I could not make that day/time, she acted irritated. I told her I have 3 days during the week where I could come (every week). She said she could not find anything. So, I am looking for somewhere else to go. The rating is because of the office staff.

Dr Totta is always very professional and thorough. He shows concern and listens carefully to my concerns. I would recommend him to anyone who is having GI problems.

Doctor Tata himself is very nice, however after year and half of the same symptoms and simply rerunning the same expensive tests, they were never able to assist my daughter who did have to have her gall bladder out. His office staff however is simply horrific! They overcharge and when the smallest of balances are unpaid $15.00 they refuse to refill medications. Really made us feel as if they are not really concerned or caring about the patients at all, just another money making practice.
