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.

Best GI doctor in the tri state area!

Doctor was patient, pleasant to talk to, helpful with info. Put us at ease & doesn't rush to make us take tests when a wait and see attitude will suffice.

Superlative physician and human being
My visit with Dr. George was outstanding in every respect. First, the office staff ensured I had a really smooth registration experience and I was seen in very short order without the excessive paperwork that greets you in all too many medical offices. I found the doctor to be very knowledgeable, sympathetic to what I was experiencing and very patient as he listened to my description of my complex case. This was no superficial rush job as he examined me, reviewed my records and asked a great many questions about my history and symptoms. I found him to be personally engaging and quickly felt a genuine connection with him. Dr. George patiently answered all my questions and sought to reassure me about my GI problems. I came away feeling that I found the right doctor whom I could count on as a partner toward addressing my problems. This is a rare thing in today’s assembly line approach to medicine. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Best GI
I have been seeing Dr George for almost 20 years. I had multiple surgeries and I can say I’m one of his most difficult cases. No medication worked for me, failing every med I have tried since I’m 6. He got me on a new biologic when I was down to 103 pounds and in his words “so many grade 4 ulcers he couldn’t count”. He was part of the clinical trial of this med (it won’t let me put the brand in the post!) and it literally saved my life. I have been on it since Covid and my weight is back to 158 and I have never felt better in my life. If you are looking for a GI, I wouldn’t recommend anybody else

He’s the best
Telehealth
All dr’s should be like Dr. George. I am so grateful to have found him. He is so kind, listens, makes you feel calm and taken care of. Everytime I have an appnt w him, I come out feeling so much more relaxed and less worried about my IBD. I have gone to many GI drs over the last couple decades, and Dr George is so different than most of them. I highly recommend him. For me, he’s been a life saver. Quite literally.
