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.

Completely dismissive. Dr Kaul was texting while listening to us. Made it clear that the appointment was not a priority to him. I cannot recommend him.

Top of his field!
Dr. Kaul is a miracle worker. I was in excruciating pain due to a blocked bile duct. My ALT was through the roof! I could not have an MRI due to the fact that I have a pacemaker. My primary care physician arranged for Dr. Kaul to do an emergency ERCP. Dr. Kaul removed a large gall stone from my bile duct, and my health returned. God bless him.

I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Kaul
I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Kaul and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Despite being under 45, I was able to have the procedure without sedation, thanks to Dr. Kaul’s expertise and skill. He located two polyps during the procedure, which he was able to remove successfully using a special technique. Aside from his impressive medical skills, Dr. Kaul also has a wonderful bedside manner. He made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the procedure, which is not an easy feat for any healthcare professional. In addition, his the team is fantastic. Renee, who was my surgical nurse, had a wonderful sense of humor and a great demeanor. Calmed me right down when I was feeling a little panicked about my decision to do it without anesthesia. She even held my hand during the parts that were not my favorite video viewing. Everyone in the room was 110%. They were amazing. If you are in need of a gastroenterologist or colonoscopy, I highly recommend Dr. Kaul.

I had an appointment with Dr. Kaul at 11:00. At 12:50, I still hadn't seen him and ended up leaving as I couldn't wait any longer. I think any office that is running 2 hours behind, should call and let the patients know the situation and offer them either to come in later or reschedule. I have never had an experience like this before and it was disappointing.

He was able to perform a procedure that another specialist could not. He is the best in his field in my opinion.
