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.

Direct and compassionate
Dr. Epstein conducted my colonoscopy for which I chose to be awake. He and his staff at York Hospital were very caring and thorough. He spoke to me throughout the procedure and explained what he was seeing as we went along. It was fascinating. I would not hesitate to consult him if I had a problem in the future: he is a fine person and a thoughtful physician.

Seemly gruff at the outset as he’s direst and to the point. He is compassionate though and very thorough in advising you on your physical issues. He has a great smile, if you can get him to smile. This guy is one of the best in his field in my opinion

Dr Epstein was very good at explaining the procedure and went over the results very clearly. I felt comfortable through out the procedure. The entire staff seemed to care and I received excellent attention to my concerns and questions. I felt I was in very good hands with Dr. Epstein and his staff.

This whole group is arrogant and uncaring even after they accidentally gave me a medication that I am allergic to during a procedure, they didn't seem to even care about me or what was happening to me. I will never go back to see any of these doctors and I suggest you think twice before you go to them. They didn't even return my phone calls after I had ended up in the ER twice because of their mistake. So sad doctors are supposed to care about their patients. He's an awful doctor

Disappointed in Exeter, NH – Aug 22, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Epstein?
Had a very negative experience in the ER with this doctor. In fact this whole group. Insensitive arrogant and just plain unkind. I'm actually blown away by how unprofessional they are. I will travel an hour away to get away from this GI group. Do yourselves a favor and go to someone that actually cares about people these guys are either robots or aliens. No stars if I could.
