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.

I recommend Dr. Ginsburg to anyone. When I suffered from foot pain and back pain, my original family doctor was on vacation. Dr. Ginsburg let me see him in time, and I was able to get further treatment and x-ray quickly. He made the whole process as easy as possible for me. He has been very good with follow-up too. I have had a positive experience with Dr. Ginsburg and would like to visit him again.

I have been a patient of Dr Ginsberg for over 10 years after my local GI found a polyp too large to remove. He not only had the expertise to remove it painlessly, it has not returned. I go back every 1-3 years for follow up colonoscopies and feel comfortable with Dr Ginsberg caring for me. He explains the procedures, answers questions and is very caring. Thank you Dr Ginsberg!

After reading several negative reviews accusing Dr. Ginsberg of not being a good listener as well as being arrogant I can understand how his approach could be misinterpreted as such but I found Dr. Ginsberg to be all business and highly skilled in his profession. I have had two ERCP procedures performed by him and am soon facing a third. I totally trust in his knowledge and expertise. I await the results of a biopsy from a tumor removed by him if further surgery is required I trust him to do it.

I accompanied my daughter to her appointment with Dr. Ginsberg and found him to be arrogant, rude and a very poor listener. He would ask a question, but would over-talk before the answer could be given. He used medical language and scoffed when we were unaware of the procedure to which he was referring. I also feel that he disrespected my daughter by downplaying her condition and actually rolled his eyes at one of her responses. He never asked if WE had any questions!

Was referred to Dr Ginsberg after May 5 colonoscopy revealed large, flat polyp the original physician was reluctant to remove. Dr. Ginsberg successfully removed the polyp via a 2nd colonoscopy. Dr. Ginsberg fully explained how he would remove the polyp, and after, he provided complete information on possible complications & how to respond if necessary. Dr. Ginsberg was professional, informative, reassuring & answered my questions before I even asked them. I will see him for future procedures

Horrible bed side manner & made me feel very uncomfortable. Does not seem like he listens to you at all. He was very self absorbed and arrogant. I will not be returning for a second visit. I was actually afraid to ask questions. He put me on the defensive and made me feel like i was on trial for my health issues.

I found his bedside manor abysmal. His ability and or interest in managing my expectations in relation to pre and post procedure were non existent. I am scheduled for a follow up which will give Dr Ginsberg the opportunity to present himself in a better light. I hope he takes advantage of that opportunity.
