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.

Dr. Catinis is the best of the best!
Dr. Catinis is a wonderful, kind and caring doctor! He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to your healthcare. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Catinis and highly recommend him!

One time great, other time horrible (the staff)
The first time I visited I would have given him and the people a 10 star if possible. The second time, one week later, it would have give them a 1 star or even less. The first they were efficient and very nice. It couldn't have been a better experience. The second time the staff (different people) was mean. I kept thinking how much everyone there was hate their job. The only nice person was the one trying to insert the IV however she had no idea what she was doing and used my arm as a pin cushion forever. (I have really big veins and am really easy to do an IV in.) You should have seen the bruising!. Finally after a couple of minutes of the lady repeatedly sticking me someone came (the really mean lady) and did it for her. I would suggest they train their people before allowing them to work on people! After two hours of waiting I finally was taken for the procedure. The first visit as I said was perfect. The second was in every way was a disaster. Dr. Catinis is fine b

Very competent and personable doctor
Dr. Catinis is very attentive to issues and questions during an office visit. He thoroughly reviews notes of previous visits and procedures and discusses major points. His manner is very caring and empathetic. On my recent visit, I observed Dr. Catinis training a medical student, making her an integral part of the conversation.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Catinas asks about your symptoms and concerns. He wants to make his patients well and treats you with respect. He is never in a hurry to move on to his next patient and takes time with you. I recommend Sr. Catinas to anyone with a gastro intestinal problem.
