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.

I had 3 UNSUCCESSFUL surgeries FROM ANOTHER SURGEON. We called this office today and explained how horrible I’m feeling and I need help. Spoke with Joni who got us an appointment immediately. From the moment we spoke to her she was so kind and empathetic with us in all I had gone through. After meeting Dr. Caliendo I literally asked him if I could hug him. He had answers, he had a plan, he has a heart and was genuinely upset for all I had been through. Christina the office mgr was AMAZING, the new girl Christine, the front desk girls and Danielle at check out. My husband and I left there today with HOPE. We are newlyweds and I’ve been so sick since May. The Dr is going to fix me, and I feel so Blessed that my hubby found this office. All I can say is this, you will be taken care of here. They treat you like how you treat your loved ones. TY to all of you here, ty for the hope of getting my life back. God Bless all of you.

He is a member of Colon & Rectal Surgical Specialists of NY (CRSSNY). I had a semi-emergency this time and the original Dr was booked so Dr Caliendo agreed to see me. He was very concerned, professional, a good listener, examined me and is taking on this case. I am very comfortable and satisfied with Dr Caliendo and the Drs I have seen @ CRSSNY in the past. I am very impressed with the interviews and educational material on their website. Very informative. Highly recommend Him & them.
