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.

Colonoscopy
I recently had a colonoscopy with Dr. Gingold and was very satisfied with the whole experience. From my telehealth appt to the end of my procedure he was very pleasant and professional. The office staff at the Somerville location was wonderful. Always pleasant and helpful and responded quickly to questions. Also had a good experience at the Central Jersey Ambulatory Surgical Center. Friendly staff and procedure was on time.

Avoid at all Costs
I went to Dr. Gingold for years, and years and years and he never found my gallbladder issue, thank goodness I was in Florida, had an attack and they IMMEDIATELY knew what it was. But, because I try to think the best of people I thought maybe I had just developed it. Fast forward to this year when my daughter has been suffering for months with pain, vomiting and nausea and goes to see Dr. Gingold. First of all the office place was highly unpleasant, secondly she never got more than 2 minutes with Dr. Gingold, and then he ordered a colonoscopy and endoscopy and almost killed my daughter in the procedure that they didn't finish because her oxygen fell. Instead of watching her or checking her they scolded her saying it was her fault (what?) and then sent her home and she had to go to the ER and she was in very serious condition by the time she got there. When the ER called to find out what had happened no one ever called back. Avoid this Doctor at all costs.

Bleed from colonoscopy
Digestive Health Care has an assembly line approach. Met with a nurse practitioner for consultation. Doctors were not available for initial consultation. Bleeding risks were not mentioned. I first met Dr Gingold right before the procedure. I noticed bleeding soon after I returned home from the colonoscopy. First call to the office to report the bleed and was told to wait and watch. A second call to reach the Doctor on call and finally told to go to the emergency room. None of the practice Doctors met with me that day. I had to wait until the next day to finally meet with a different Doctor from the practice and have emergency colonoscopy to repair the bleed. I do not recommend Dr Gingold for colonoscopy.

By far Dr. Gingold is of the best doctors around. He is timely, patient, compassionate and has a great bedside manner. I would not recommend anyone other then Dr. Gingold. The office staff is just as wonderful. From booking the appointment to the follow up calls after my procedure was stellar. Highly recommend!

I had my first visit and first upper endoscopy with Dr. Gingold and it was a very positive experience. His focus on assessment and intervention is thorough which speaks of his high level of knowledge and experience in his field. He is a true professional, respectful, listened and answered questions. I appreciate and I thank him for what he did. I chose him by reading excellent reviews of him & I am glad I decided to go to him. I trust his decisions in the management of my care. I also want to commend and thank the DHC staff for what they did for me.

All went very smoothly
My experience of getting a routine colonoscopy was very positive with Dr. Gingold and Digestive Health Care. I had an initial telemedicine pre-screening visit with Dr Gingold and he was professional, informative, thorough and pleasant, and was open to my questions. The process of scheduling the procedure was straightforward and smooth. The directions for prep I received, were very detailed and thorough and answered all my questions. I was brought into the surgical center for my procedure exactly on time. The procedure went smoothly and Dr. Gingold talked to me afterwards about what he found. I received a detailed report of the findings of my small biopsies shortly thereafter. Everyone I interacted with at Digestive Center was friendly and efficient - every admin and nurse included. This is how every health experience should be. I would recommend Dr Gingold and this practice.

Dr. Gingold is a thorough, talented and excellent surgeon. He was able to find even small polyps and remove them completely, and confirm that I do not have cancer. I very much appreciate everything that he and the staff of DHC did for me. Thank you Dr. Gingold and DHC.

I had the best experience (if you can call having a colonoscopy fun!), with the group at DHC. Dr Gingold is so kind and personable, the anesthesiologist, I don’t remember his name was also caring. The nurse (Sue) anticipated everything I needed to know. I would highly recommend Dr. Gingold and his team to anyone.
