Dr. Ben Terrany, MD

From the first phone call I made to the practice right until I awoke after my procedure, my experience with Dr. Terrany and each staff member at Shore Gastroenterology was wonderful. It is a well run practice with proficient and caring people. I was nervous about the prospect of having a colonoscopy but Dr. Terrany allayed my fears. He takes the time to listen to any issues/symptoms and explains what the patient can expect. He is professional and empathetic. The nursing staff is phenomenal, so kind and knowledgeable (a big thanks to Niki, Amy, Janeece, Dana and everyone else). Dr. Ronan, the anesthesiologist, is very reassuring and has a great bedside manner. If you're having any gastro issues or need a baseline colonoscopy, I highly recommend Dr. Terrany and Shore Gastroenterology Associates. (Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, meaning a colonoscopy might save your life.)

This is one of the most unprofessional practices I have encountered I went there for an issue ... they suggested an endoscopy. When Dr Terrany called to tell me the results, he indicated that the biopsy was fine but, much as I tried to get a next steps, I got nowhere. I asked for a copy of the written results for the endoscopy. Over the next two months, i contact them 5 times by phone, email and secure message .. no response Meanwhile, I am regularly receiving texts, emails, calls and messages on the secure portal for the $35 copay I owe. Finally, in frustration, I respond that I will pay the $35 when I have my results ... within 24 hours, I get them ... twice: once by email and once on the portal A couple of weeks later, I receive an email that my account was deactivated; no reason given. I email and the message is read (there is such a thing as read receipt) .. but no response Prompt to suggest examination procedures; terrible customer care and responsiveness.

Dr. Terrany is one of the best docs I’ve had. He is an expert in his field, reassuring, thorough and kind. My family will only use him for any GI needs, and I’ve recommended him to many friends and family.

Excellent...he is a most helpful, polite and reassuring doctor one can hope to have! Sal Busacca

Dr Terrany is Great. I recently had a procedure at Ocean Surgical Pavilion performed by Dr Terrany. He saw me before the procedure to answer any questions, a quick hello in the procedure and a follow-up chat in the recovery area. He is very thorough, professional and truly a talented doctor. It is very clear to me that he cares about his patients. Ocean Surgical Pavilion was very professional. All the nurses and the anesthesiologist answered every question and immediately put you at ease.

Dr. Terrany basically saved my 20 yr, old son from a future of gloom and doom. After the hospital staff had given him a terrible prognosis of a life-long autoimmune disease, whereby he would have to take harmful drugs for the rest of his life, we went to Dr. Terrany. He immediately questioned the diagnosis, and over the period of a year, gave my son several tests and watched him closely and did not let him take these awful drugs that would suppress his immune system. Sure enough, Dr. Terrany was right. The hospital misdiagnosed him, and Dr. Terrany’s hunch that it was a very bad, unusual infection, was correct. Against all odds, my son regained his normal life, and we owe it 100% to Dr, Terrany. His knowledge, experience and care are unmatched, and we literally trust him with our lives.

An unpleasant but extremely important procedure was made as positive and comfortable as possible. I definitely would recommend Dr Terrany and the entire pavilion to anyone.

Dr Terrany is one in a million. He is knowledgeable and the most caring doctor I have ever seen. He listens and does everything in his power to make you feel better. I highly recommended him I have many times already and my friends have thanked me. I give him 10+stars. Honestly call him for an appointment and you will get answers and feel so much better.

Dr. Terrany actual saved my life about 4 years ago. Under the care of another doctor for about 5 years and after constant procedures, infusions, pain, and many years of anemia ,it was finally Dr. Terrany who just happened to take my case (because my doctor was on vacation) and did my procedure and found my problem immediately and sent me for surgery. I am in good health now, no anemia. Thank you Dr. Terrany!!!!

Dr. Terrany performed two procedures on me yesterday at the Ocean Surgical Pavilion in Oakhurst NJ. Lisa and Tammy took good care of me alleviating my concerns and making me comfortable. Dr. Ben Terrany deserves the utmost praise. He took his time with me, answered all my questions prior to the procedure and was with me as I woke up in recovery. He is kind, thorough, compassionate, and has the best bedside manner. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best gastroenterologist!

Excellent manner and great staff

Dr. Terrany is a thorough and caring physician. Credentials and experience are excellent. Highly recommend.

Outstanding specialist with a country doctor personality. Dr. Terrany is very approachable & takes the time to listen to you. He is a caring doctor and never rushes you. It is obvious from my doctor-patient conversations that Dr. Terrany stays current on medical research. But as they say, behind every great man is a great women! Tracy Friedman keeps it all going smoothly from every angle of a medical practice. She has been on his medical staff for years and it shows. What a great team! Sue M.
