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.

Very Excellent Gastroenterologist
Dr. Glenn Littenberg is my fourth gastroenterologist who I eventually end up with. He is the best Doctor I have ever met. Dr. Littenberg is a caring, knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough Doctor to me. He carefully examines my medical reports, listens to my bowel movement and colon issues and questions me about my medical history .. etc.. He even does some typing in the computer for diagnostic studies and gives me the copy on my way out. He clearly explains to me what the treatment plan is. What kind of lab tests he needs me to do. I find myself so lucky to see him. I wish I would visit him sooner instead. Thank you so much Dr. Littenberg for treating me and others at your best. His team is great as much as him. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I wish he accepted medi-cal because I would go back to him in a heartbeat!! I used to see him when I was first diagnosed with UC but paid out of pocket because I did not have insurance. Dr Littenberg was a GODSEND for me. When I could qualify for medi-cal, sadly I could no longer see him. All GI Drs since then have not come close to him I give him 5 stars even though I am not his patient now. If you are able to go to him thank your lucky stars! He LISTENS to you! If I win the lottery I'm paying to see him.

Dr. Littenberg was the only doc (after 3 mis-diagnosis in the ER) to figure out that my gallbladder got clogged with “biliary sludge” that was treated with medication. Two years later I’m now off the medication and all is well with my gall bladder. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Littenberg and so is my friend who was also having gallbladder issues that were resolved without needing surgery. In a time where most doctors rush through an appointment and are quick to reach for the scalpel or refer you elsewhere, this man is creme de la creme!

I was a new patient of Dr. Littenberg although I have heard of his name for years. He is both knowledgeable and experienced in his specialty and gave a detailed overview as to what might have caused my gastric issues. Unlike other offices, I was able to meet with Dr. Littenberg himself and not have to go through a nurse practitioner. That is well worth it to me!!
