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.

Dr. Ben is a brilliant man, very knowledgeable, he’s extremely personable, and thorough in his information gathering. He makes you feel comfortable and confident in his ability to help you feel better. Dr Ben has a wonderful sense of humor that puts his patience at ease, as well. I will certainly miss having him as my gastroenterologist. I made the mistake of showing up for my appointment a day late one time and he was so accommodating. This very busy man asked me if I would wait a half hour he would see me then. You just don’t find many doctors like Dr Matthew Ben.

Cuts to the chase, and tells you what you exactly need to do to help yourself along with his help for you I consider him the best in the area to go to. He gets right to the point and doesn’t add a lot of fluff.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ben multiple times. Every appointment was conducted with openness and humor. He would never hesitate to answer any question posed to him.

My appointments with Dr Ben are always good experiences. He takes the time to answer questions and explains in language that anyone can understand. He is up to date with the latest research and his patients get care which is comparable to a large academic medical center

Diagnosed with Liver Disease in Dec 2017. I was not at all happy with the lack of care and direction I was receiving by the Specialist I had been referred to. I was very concerned and very scared. A friend told me to please contact Albany Gastro so I did. I am currently seeing Dr Matthew Ben who is absolutely amazing! His knowledge and quality of care is phenomenal! He has given us direction, comfort, and finally some hope that I may be able to fight this awful disease. I am forever grateful!
