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.

The Best
Was told by other docs that due to narrow at ascending and descending colon they could only get 1/3 of the way. Dr de Rosa said he lived a challenge and he will do it. By golly that was 2010 and I only go to him since. Go every 3 years. Also has done endoscopy. He is keeping nd, compassionate and appears to truly care about his patients. He is truly the best.

Dr. Derosa was able to remove difficult and very large polyps that 2 other doctors were not able to remove. In fact, one told me I should have surgery to have that part of my colon removed, or have 2 to 3 colonoscopies to remove them. Dr. Derosa removed them with just one colonoscopy. Thank you!

I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Derosa today. He was thorough and gentle. I thought he was a very polite and nice man. I didn't even have anesthesia, and it really wasn't painful or difficult. It was my first colonoscopy. I highly recommend Dr Derosa.

Would have greatly appreciated him explaining my situation. Was told he was a hepatologist but can find nothing in the office or online confirming so. Would have appreciated not having to wait 2 months to see him as an existing patient and would have greatly appreciated getting my liver biopsy results earlier than 6 weeks dispite emailing him and being told he would let me know when he did. Also, 2 hours to see the doctor these days is par for the course.

Barbaric experience as a patient of Dr. DeRosa. I stressed that I have a strong gag reflex before my endoscopic biopsy. Dr. DeRosa not only ignored my testimony regarding gag sensitivity and a narrow throat, he didn't bother to put me under anesthesia for the procedure. Even his nurses were 2nd guessing his cruel & immoral decision to do the proc. with me wide awake, gagging, tears streaming down my face, and my contorting from having the tube down my throat. Never returned my email. Nvr called.
