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.

Dr Nathonson is not only smart but a really incredibly caring physician. He carefully listened to my entire IBS history and challenges. He provided very helpful suggestions and was open minded to all options including alternative option…like meditation and hypnotherapy. I had seen a couple other gastroenterologists and dr Nathonson really made me feel heard and understood. I highly recommend him! An amazing doctor.

Excellent caring Dr. Over thirteen years of his service we never had a problem with the G-tube done by him. We see him only when the tube is really worn out or if the balloon had deflated already. Which only happens once a year or even over a year before the tube needs to be replaced. Highly recommend him! Great Doctor!!

Bill Lay – Nov 22, 2019

Six years ago, my father, a healthy man in his late 80s, had a colonoscopy done by Nathanson. He discovered a tumor, which was read as benign. We found out later through competent GI docs in this group and surgeons that it came back benign only b/c samples couldn't be taken from the bottom of it. He advised leaving it in and watching my Dad's hemoglobin. Well now, 6 years later, my dad is NOT healthy for surgery, and he is bleeding non stop from this tumor that was cancer. So Nathanson killed my Dad by not offering surgery to remove the tumor when he could have, and failed to get a 2nd opinion or talk to a surgeon. He could never do enuf to make up for killing my WW2 hero, kind, loving father. He should be fired asap. What is so sad is that my Dad always has done EVERYTHING to stay healthy, right now he is in the hospital doing his exercises, without knowing he is about to die due to Nathanson.

I am an old man who needs a lot of medical help. Between me and my wife, we see a variety of doctors. This is the first, and I am afraid, the only letter of thanks I wrote to a medical doctor. I want to thank Dr. Nathanson for the care he bestowed on me for many months.

I have seen many GI doctors for Crohns and I am amazed by how personalized dr nathanson's approach has been. He spent a significant about of time understanding my medical history and current situation. He is in incredibly knowledgable about treatment options and the complexities of Crohns (not just the GI aspect). I'm so glad I found him. He is a treasure and it's a relief to know I'm in good hands.
