My mother had a WONDERFUL experience with Dr. Gottfried. She is an 89 yo woman in very bad health, and was taking her shower and noticed rectal bleeding. She is also on a blood thinner for atrial fib - we thought the blood thinner was probably the cause. It turned out she had multiple polyps and some suspicious cells that may have revealed a malignancy. I never met him, but my sister reported that she thought that he was great and VERY kind and personable. And they were very available for follow up immediately after her disc... read more

After months of problems with my pancreas and ulcers leaving me constantly vomiting and losing weight down to 98 pounds, Lauren prescribed the right combination of medicines for me and it probably saved my life. If you are new to this practice schedule your appt with Lauren Scala. She is better than any dr i have seen about my problems.

Due to bleeding ulcer, I had to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time. Dr. Gottfried was wonderful and treated/solved my problem with great skill. True, his bedside manor is not warm and fuzzy, but he is an excellent gastroenterologist. I’ve recommended him to friends and family.

This doctor ruined my sister's life. He botched an endoscope on her, coming into the room afterword and saying "I didn't do it!" Since the botched endoscope, my sister has had multiple strokes and a dozen or so ministrokes. She's been in the hospital every couple of months and suffers from tremors, migraines, pretty much everything. Worse, the hospital held on to its records to cover it up. And it all stems back to the botched endoscope by "Dr. Horrible" as she calls him. Don't go to him!

On January 12, 2017 a routine colonoscopy was performed. On January 13, we contacted the office due to severe pain and chills. After 3 calls the office called back and said Dr Gottfried thinks you just have a virus, but if you really want to go to the hospital go ahead. Admitted to hospital for a perforated bowel. Spent 3 days in hospital, never once saw Dr Gottfried or anyone from his office. Bills for this complication were over $12000.00. My copays were over $1000.00!!!!!!!!! No help!

This is the doctor who saved my life, not once, but twice. He argued with the radiologist for me (yay!), and prescribed a gram-negative antibiotic when all other docs were content to beat a dead horse with Cipro. Dr. Gottfried possesses a bedside manner not unlike that of Dr. House. If you want a fuzzy, sensitive-new-age doctor who will hold your hand and cry, he's not it. But he's hands-down brilliant, and if you need someone who can save you, he's your doc. Be funny. He likes funny.
