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.

It wasn't the best from day one. The Doctor was over an hour and 15 minutes late, although he did apologize about half-way through the appointment. I do give credit where credit is due, he was thorough during the physical exam, but his attitude changed like a light switch when I told him I have more than enough going on with my stomach (none of which by the way could be explained to me at the time of the appointment) and other medical issues related to a very bad car accident and wasn't getting the faucci ouchie right now. I needed answers with what is going on before I just took some unvetted "vaccine" and complicated things even more. We did end up doing a colonoscopy a few weeks later and found that I do have ulcerative colitis. The problem is that he said to both me and my significant other, as well as his nurse that was assigned to me "no dietary changes are needed" and walked away, we (my S.O. and I) were both shocked. This is grossly incorrect, not only did my significant oth

Dr. Litynski is a wonderful gastroenterologist. He explained my issues well. And discovered things about my health that my prior gastro doc completely missed. Thank God I found him. Plus he has a great sense of humor.

I saw Dr Litynski's PA, Jill Hoffman. Dr Litynski did upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. All went well with the procedures and those are the only times I saw him (just before I went under - lol). I gave only 2 stars for "How well provider explains medical condition(s)" because I apparently had an ultrasound on my liver and there were cysts (unbeknownst to me). I received a call a year later for a follow-up ultrasound. That was the first time I heard of the cysts.
