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 have been going to Dr. Lefkovitz’s for many years for my colonoscopies and endoscopies. I totally trust him and in my opinion he is the best!! He explains things to you, is thorough, asks you if you have any questions, is caring and has a good personality!

Highly recommend!
I've had three colonoscopies by him, and each experience was exceptional--even the most recent one, that I can actually remember because of the newer anesthetic that is being used! He provides the result immediately, and is very personable with his patients as well. I highly recommend him and his staff, who are equally outstanding!

Dr.Lefkovitz has been my Dr for 3 years. Unfortunately I was Inpatient at Riverside Hospital a few weeks ago, and a Dr from Ohio Gastro performed an Endoscopy on me. I am still having stomach issues and I called to get in to see Dr.Lefkovitz and he will no longer see me since I had care by another gastro Dr while I was"In Patient ". I feel this is very unprofessional, since he was my Dr prior to being at Riverside Hospital. My mother and my sister are both patients of Dr.Lefkovitz and I still can not believe he is denying me care. I will be contacting my PCP who referred me to him.

Great Doc But High Demand
I appreciate Dr. Lefkovitz a great deal. He's been my trusted gastroenterologist for 6 years, since diagnosing my celiac disease. I agree with all of the positive comments on this site about him. However the situation is like a restaurant where the food is great but it's always so crowded you can't get in. I need to see him now, but the first available appointment is not for 2 months; so I'm looking for a different doctor.

He needs to schedule patients more efficiently. I have waited myself for 45 min and I have heard people talking that they have been waiting over an hour.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Lefkovitz. He helped to save my life after another gastro dr mis-diagnosed me with gastroparesis. Dr. Lefkovitz did the right thing and performed an endoscopy and visibly confirmed there was an obstruction which ended up being cancer. I don't still follow with Dr. L but he certainly got me on the right track to getting the proper treatment and surgery and am now cancer free. (The mis-diagnosis was from the quack Dr. Stiff. Do not go to Dr. Stiff.)

I've seen Dr. Lefkovitz since 2010, he was recommended by two doctors who are my friends, he's informative and thorough on office visits. He did a colonoscopy on me, no pain, no discomfort.
