"Went to Dr. Lamendola after a not so great appt with another doctor. I have to say I had a wonderful experience from the moment her nurse called me back, until I walked out the door. Her nurse was kind, compassionate, and friendly. When Dr. Lamendola came in she was not in a rush, she answered all my questions and was willing to take the time to explain things that I didn’t fully understand, and was sensitive to my fears and willing to find a solution that fit my needs. She even listened to some other struggles I was having (not related to Gastro) and referred me to programs that might help in those areas. I really felt that she cared about me as a person and not just another number walking through the door. Even the young lady who scheduled my next appointment was kind and considerate. The entire staff made such a great impression that I’m so glad I didn’t settle for subpar care at the other office I went to. Truly a great experience."

Over the next months, Dr. Berggreen provided strict protocols to correct or significantly improve my conditions. He always explained every step of my process, encouraging all questions. Changes/additions to the identified procedures were made based on his expert experience, my input, and his evaluation of my compliance process. As a result of his protocols, my previous GI complaints were resolved. I am currently doing very well and maintain routine office visits to monitor my progress. Dr. Berggreen is very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I feel his continued support for my physical and overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Dr.Charles Berggreen, MD."
"The staff is very friendly, patient, and caring."
"Best dr ever. He diagnosed an issue that after years and another dr was able to diagnose and personally go to war with my insurance to get the medication I needed. It was expensive and insurance didn’t want pay for it. Got me the meds and although have rare form of colitis was able to put me in remission. Been over 8 years and still no problems. Saved me from the miserable life I was living with constant diarrhea. Can’t live your best life like that! I highly recommend this dr as one who takes a personal interest in making sure you are taken care of and sees through to the end."
"Dr Walsh has been my gastrologist for years. Love him. He listens to me and does not rush me during my appointments. It’s easy to get a call back from his nurse if I have a question. Would highly recommend him."

"I applaud this group for exceptional patient care! For months I have suffered with acute abdominal pain. My primary care physician diagnosed the problem and referred me. Because my Doctor wasn't immediately available I was scheduled to see Physician Assistant Kasey Gora. SHE IS WONDERFUL! Although she provided excellent care and has a wonderful beside-manner, it was her follow-up that made me feel as though she truly cared. She called me on a Saturday morning! But, it wasn't just a phone call, it was a conversation. She did not just ask a general question! She was very specific and listened to my responses. She even explained why I should be filling better and the continued plan of care. During my follow-up appointment, she was very intent on ensuring I knew what to do to minimize the Diverticulitis. She is Awesome!"

The MOST kind and compassionate doctor I’ve ever seen and clearly is dedicated to resolving your issues and getting you well. Follow up phone calls and texts checking in on you, in my opinion, goes above and beyond the service most physicians are providing to their patients today. If I could give 10 stars I would."
