Review for Dr. Pearce
One of the worst experiences in my life with no real answers or solutions. Glad I got a second opinion and surgery scheduled with a knowledgeable surgeon.

Review for Dr. Madhavan
He's been my Dr for over 20 years. He has always been very thorough and kind. He always encourages me and remembers what I tell him. VERY Thorough! I have more trust in him than any other Dr I've ever seen.

I have had 2 screening colonoscopies performed by Dr. Fine over the past 6 years. Each time she has been a caring and compassionate provider. Her pre and post-procedure discussions were clear, informative and not at all rushed. I would highly recommend Dr. Fine to anyone.
