Office staff was efficient and easy to work with. Everything was professional and well explained. I appreciated Dr. Trate's time after my procedures to explain everything and provide me a full report for my records.

I have had two colonoscopies performed by Dr. Trate. The day I went for my pre-op visit the ladies in the office/scheduling were very efficient. The day of my procedure they were ready for me at my appointment time. Everyone kept me informed and explained in detail what they were going to do and gave me a time frame. Dr. Trate explained to me his findings and answered all of my questions. I would not even consider going anywhere else! 100% Awesome!

Listen to the negative reviews here and other sites. I should have. His practice is a factory. You can't meet Dr. Trate until seconds before being put under for the procedure. If you doubt me, just try. He doesn't make an effort to face you even then. The staff I got shuffled through during the preceding office visits were exceedingly rushed. No treatment was suggested in spite of ongoing issues. This practice seems structured to keep patients lined up in the colonoscopy/EDG pipeline for $$$.

My husband had an appointment for a colonoscopy at 1:00. Finally, at 2:45 he was called back. I understand that sometimes waiting is inevitable for medical appointments, but after prolonged fasting and prep, waiting for almost 2 hours is unacceptable.

I have never left a negative review of any small business on the internet in my entire life, but my experience at the office of Dr. Trate warrants the effort. His office staff have repeatedly made mistakes with EVERYTHING that I have asked them to do. I have only seen him right before he put me to sleep for an EDG where it turns out, they did not perform the correct tests because no one wrote my symptoms down accurately. I have never had a more negative experience with a physician's office.

Performed a routine colonoscopy and removed several polyps. One, however, was so well hidden and inaccessible that it was probably missed by previous colonoscopies/endoscopists and will require further intervention. I am grateful to have had a gastroenterologist who performed a complete and thorough exam and was also willing to spend a great deal of extra time obtaining biopsies of a very difficult polyp. In reading other reviews, a low grade for poor phone service is not fair or helpful.

I was told and confirmed by 3 independent employees of this practice that my colonoscopy was a screening, covered under insurance and it wouldn't cost me anything extra. After I had the procedure done and drugged up, they hit me with a bill. That's fraud in my book and I would highly advise to avoid this practice!

It was a colonoscopy which of course is no fun. But procedure was well done, explained, and a pleasant experience when it was over. My wife has also seen Dr. Trate for the same procedure and she was quite happy with him as well.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Trate and his staff. They were all extremely kind and caring. I was able to make an appointment quickly. I felt like I was in great hands!
