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 only doctor that genuinely seems concern about my mystery stomach pains. He didn’t just hand out meds he tried to find the problem & fix it. He didn’t send his M/A in to speak to me. I haven’t been this impressed & comfortable with a doctor in a very long time!

Dr. Lagattuta is a very personable, experienced physician. He engages his patients with sensitivity, kindness, and understanding. Dr. Lagattuta has a great sense of humor. He is intuitive, precise and above all possesses excellent bed-side manners. Dr. Lagattuta listens to his patients; effectively communicates with them at their level. I had a gastroenterology procedure done last month and when I have questions, Dr. Lagattuta was there to explain. He followed up and checked on my well-being.

After meeting with Dr. Lagattuta for the first time today, I wanted to share my positive experience with anyone who is in search of a good Gastroenterologist. Dr L. is a good listner along with his knowledge within his specialty but also outside of his field...meaning that he can take all of your concerns/ailments and he queues in on possible diagnoses. He is just extremely inteligent. I brought my 18 y.o. daughter in & we left their with such good information, Grateful for his help. A++

I have been going to Dr. Lagattuta for 21 years . He is very thorough and has a wonderful personality. He takes time to explain things. He is one of the few doctors on the planet that I trust with my life.
