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.

Was a patient for years until today. They treat you like a number. Do NOT use their portal to ask for help. They will label you a problem patient. Don’t try to call them, because you wait on hold for 20 plus minutes. You have to answer when they call, or you are labeled a problem patient. Don’t ask if you can start being seen by the ACTUAL GI, And not his Nurse Practioner, because they will drop you as a patient. Don’t ask why prescriptions were stopped. They stop them without notification and can’t tell you why, other than “interactions exist”. When you’re in pain with a necrotic colon, do not message them for help. You are supposed to go without nausea meds, when chronically ill. Even if you are vomitting and in bed all day, don’t call them. They will tell you to go to the ER. Don’t ask any questions in their portal, or ask questions about treatment in the portal. Don’t offer suggestions. And please make sure you have your own medical degree because they sure like to make you respsonible for your own care, including medications compounded, IV therapy and nutritional assiatnce. They are real good at setting a patient plan, but don’t always follow thru. They dropped me today because I didn’t answer their calls when they called and because I sent too many messages. And the best part, Dr. Comar, the GI assigned to me (who is VP of Borland Groover) didn’t have the professionalism to respond to my messages or contact me, he had his office manager fire me. Huge red flag. Patient abandonment at its finest. They are too big to handle their patients as anything but a number. You will be treated as a textbook case. BEWARE!

Had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment and he spent 2 minutes in the room, just prescribed me something and sent me for an expensive endoscopy. The visits are very expensive so I would say look for somewhere cheaper.

Thank you for this review.
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Comar?
Comar is the absolute worst physician I have have ever encountered. He is the epitome of why people hate Doctors. I have never heard so many justifications for ineptitude in my life and I'm no spring chicken. In my humble opinion his knowledge of medicine in general could fit in a thimble and his knowledge of gastroenterology on the head of a pin. Further more he seems to think it is no big deal to prescribe the most expense medicines on the market (for a wrong diagnosis). He apparently thinks people poop money no pun intended because you missing work means nothing to him. While he is free to offer to refer you for a second opinion (within the practice of course) he didn't mention that it would take 2 MONTH to get an appointment. In the mean time more missed work, more pain, more suffering....! Honestly if this guy is this bad and still has a job with this practice it makes me have doubts about the entire practice.

ALWAYS BEHIND. Today, it forty five minutes. He was 40 minutes late for my colonoscopy. I've been having extreme heartburn and nausea that I did not have before the procedure. Yikes. I've had 3 of these test and never had a problem before.
