Dr. Jeffrey Retig, MD

Do not entrust this man with any of your medical care!

I'm sure he's good at treating some patients, but for me, his care was substandard. He was good at ordering lots of tests, but he didn't seem to have the time to answer my questions about the test results. I ultimately decided to get answers from another doctor who could give me the courtesy of 5 minutes to answer my questions so I requested my medical records. Retig's office has been a nightmare to deal with. Apparently, they only have a fax machine (no portal with online records) so after lots of back and forth, I convinced his office to fax my records to my primary care doctor (who thankfully has a fax machine) and I'd get the records from him. (I had already signed a release). They sent my primary care doctor an illegible one-page intake form - that's it . No labs, no colonscopy results, etc.

I met Dr Jeff Retig in 1987 when transferred into the Graduate Hospital in Philly after being hospitalized in Lancaster County PA for 5 months. My case was very unusual, we were told that 1% of the population suffered with. The medical team in Lancaster explained to my family after 5 months that my case "took them to their educational limit", I was termed "going sour". We would need to transfer to Johns Hopkins in MD or to Graduate, a teaching hospital. After phone calls to a relative who worked at a Philly doctor's office - arrangements were soon made for the immediate transfer. When Dr Retig came into my hospital room, he was already brought up to speed by the Lancaster doctors and explained that he also made contact with his former medical school classmates to develop a plan that LITERALLY save my life. This was before the internet or AOL. I remember him being Kind, VERY SMART. He calmed my family with plain and honest language. It was expected not survive Xmas - Thank You Jeff !!!

We had our first meeting with Dr. Retig today, for a pre Gastro procedure in May. We were really impressed and feel fortunate to have him do the procedure.

I've been going to Dr. Retig for over 10 years. He's absolutely wonderful. While it took a while to determine I had Spincter of Odii Dysfunction, he was extremely patient while we were trying all other options before the ERCP. He listened very attentively, and was available for all my emergency operations. He's performed ERCP w sphincterotomy twice for me. I've been using health grades quite a lot, and I want you to know that I think he is very good, experienced and trustworthy.

Always pleasant, friendly, and professional.
