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.

STAY AWAY
NEVER go to this doctor. It was a complete waste of time. Besides being seen late and being rushed through an appointment. The doctor was arrogant and horrible beside manner. He sat down cross legged for most of the appointment. When I brought up concerns he was said no I didnt have that with no explanation. Did not listen to nor understand any of my symptoms and told me I was wrong and that the symptoms did not make sense.

Dr Gettenberg is an excellent doctor. I’ve been going to him for over 15 years. He’s very thorough and takes his time to explain the issues and treatments. Performed endoscopy and several colonoscopies over the years. His office runs smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend him!

Absolutely horrible experience with Dr. Gettenberg. He was on his way out the door in the middle of me explaining my situation, and he was dismissive of my symptoms. He even laughed off my symptoms, which have lingered and need real medical attention. I went to a new doctor and the new doctor said Dr. Gettenberg prescribed me the wrong dosage of medication. An awful doctor -- do NOT waste your money or your time with him.

Dr. Gettenberg had a very poor attitude which was highly disappointing since he is an NYU dr. He blamed my IBS solely on anxiety and offered no help. He gave me a high fiber food diet list and it turns out that a more competent and dedicated GI dr. at NYU disagreed feeling that increased fiber would worsen my symptoms. He also walked out while I was talking and left me with two young female residents who offered conflicting advise.I would never go back to him as he is undedicated and unempathic.
