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.

Whole heartedly!
Dr Rabito has been my gastroenterologist for many years, but recently in a health emergency he truly saved the day for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in his field and has an accomplished team of professionals working with him.In addition, Dr. Rabito is kind and compassionate. When I needed help desperately, he added me into his crowded schedule, and for that I can’t thank him enough!God bless you, Dr. Rabito!

Great Gastroenterologist
I was having horrible epigastric abdominal pains, and we couldn’t figure out what was going on. Dr. Rabito got involved, and figured out there is 3 different things going on. He did a procedure, EGD with injection, and now on new medications, and we now have it under control.

Dr. Rabito will work your case until he finds a solution or cure. He is knowledgeable in every aspect and he will consult with other specialists if he feels the need. He is very compassionate and conservative in his approach. He takes time to explain his diagnosis.

Dr. Felix G Rabito, Jr. Review
Dr. Rabito is an excellent gastroenterologist. I have been a patient of his for over 25 years with multiple colonoscopies. My last colonoscopy was about 2 months ago with no issues at the age of 73. However, I had been suffering from some fecal incontinance. He has helped guide me in solving this issue. Physical Therapy, increasing fiber in my diet, and lactose intolerance treatment have solved this issue. Dr. Rabito, Jr. hashelped me start living and being social again. His bedside manner, concern for my problems, and knowledge are first class in all regards. I highly recommend Dr. Rabito for any gastrointestinal needs. Sincerely, Greg Harris

Excellent Docter!
I have suffered with IBS-C since I was a teenager. Have gone to a number of docters. Dr Rabito listen to me. I suffered so much with spasm and contipation and was very sick. He descided to do a few test. He prescribed a new medication, fiber supplement and physcial therapy for my pelvic area. This is the lst time in my life that a docter treated me with other then medicine. It has been a breakthrough for me. I feel my prayers were answered. My life has improved close to 100%. With additional PT I finally have hope for a healther lifestyle. Thank you! Dr.Rabito I also want to compliment Shelley Maillho,NP who referred a awesome PT.

I have been under Dr. Rabito’s care for several years now and still am in awe how quickly he can change treatment and management of my rare disease as my illness progresses. He’s always up-to-date on the latest medical literature and I trust him more than any other GI specialist or even oncologist I’ve seen for my condition. He has a wonderfully calming bedside manner and I can only recommend him as a GI specialist.

This website is very helpful when searching for the right doctor. In this case, the "care philosophy" stated here and our experience there didn't match up. He did seem to like technology though. Some staff were helpful but some demonstrated no empathy at all.
