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.

Dedication and Commitment Issues
I had an EGD with Dr Vanesko 3 years ago. The EGD process completed with no issue. But here are some issues I have with Dr Vanesko and as such I have a different gastroenterologist now: 1) She was not prepared before the procedure, apparently did not read my medical records ( which she should have read before the procedure), as such she was not able to discuss with me2) She hardly spent any time to explain anything to me before the procedure. Here mind dod not seem to be totally on the patient3) Her office never sent me the biopsy report even after I requested Bottom line, as a doctor, she seems to have some series dedication and commitment issues. As such, I will not be going back to her.Thanks,

The very best
Dr Vanesko is one of the very best doctors I have ever had, not only is she knowledgeable and skilled she is kind and cares very much about her patients. I don't think I've ever known a more precise and dedicated doctor. Patients need to be able to trust their doctor and I've always known I could trust her. Thank you Dr Vanesko.

Outstanding physician with excellent staff
Been a patient since 2016. She is always professional and easy to talk with. In every instance, she has thoroughly explained everything and provided important information to follow moving forward. When I need a procedure, I am confidant that she will perform it competently. She has an excellent staff no matter which facility I have visited. They are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind.

very caring and concerned
Dr Vanesko is a doctor who listens, and cares about her patient’s physical as well as emotional state. She gives advices even beyond medical, when most doctors can’t wait to have you leave their examination room, while staring at their watch! She is what I call « old school mannered doctor ». I am grateful to be a patient of Dr Vanesko.

Excellent experience!
From greeting to departure, this group of professionals hit the highest marks! They were kind & comforting upon arrival when I was experiencing the most anxiety. Before the procedure all my questions were asked & I felt informed. The whole staff was professional & knowledgable. At departure, I was given pictures & a full explanation of my exam. Thank you, Dr. Vanesko & all of the wonderful staff for making a great experience out of what I thought would be an uncomfortable one!
