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.

My husband and I were so very fortunate that Dr. Gedeon was on duty the night my husband went to the ER in Bronxville, NY for diverticulitis and a perforated colon. Dr. Gedeon makes you feel confident in his ability and medical care decisions, and makes you feel that everything will be okay. One feels that he truly cares about you. He has PATIENCE with his patients, and explains and answers questions, He is a blessing, for sure.

Dr Gedeon saved my life and then gave me back my life twice thereafter. His knowledge, skill confidence, compassion and warmth are beyond compare. He truly stands on a pinnacle shared by no one. I shall be forever appreciative for Dr Gedeon in my world and to that end not only wholeheartedly recommend him here but have to my friends and family as well.

Dr. Gordon saved my life, I had a rupture in colon, and a double hernia. He took very good care of me. Explained the procedure to me and was very patient with all the questions I had. Dr. Gideon is a wonderful doctor. We definitely need more like him. I only trust him to care for me and my son.

I trust Dr.Gedeon with my life. He has performed surgery on me twice both times with perfect outcomes. He is my color rectal physician. I not only trust him with my health but that of my childs, my daughter having gone through bariatric surgery as well. He is a conscientious doctor and he is a caring human being who takes the time to talk with his patients and explains thoroughly what will take place and what the expectations are to receive optimum results. I highly recommend Dr.Gedeon.

I was very lucky to have had Dr.Gedeon cross my path. I had to have emergency surgery. Dr. G was able to remove and successfully able to reconnect without haveing to connect a bag. He had such awesome bed side manners and always made myself and faimly feel comfortable and trusting of him during my pre and post op stay.

Stay away from him! Staff is nice and all, but he didn't want to do the procedure, sent me home to think about getting another procedure i couldn't afford, after another consultation he said fine I'll do it i just work here. Long story short 2 days prior the procedure the canceled it. Now i have 600 dollars worth of medication for nothing ( paid it out of pocket) and im responsible for consultation and all the test and therapy done. Do yourself a favor and stay away

Horrible people, these people are in it for the money. The receptionist harassed me for money I owed that my insurance didn't pay for, from other doctors in the (multi specialty group). Said I needed all of it 350 on the spot. Left without being able to see doctor that I've been seeing for years!

Dr. Gedeon has a pleasant demeanor and a calming presence. He is very knowledgeable, and doesn't rush through your visit, spending the appropriate amount of time to answer questions and address your individual concerns.

I had a terrible experience with this allegedly wonderful surgeon. He danced around my major problem for months, ordering tests that omay made me financially screwed and then in the end refused to do surgery. In fact he changed his story...originally surgery was the best option then it was the worst. I ended up finding another surgeon and I am healthy and happy. This man set me back 8 months..took my money and messed with my life.
