Gastrointestinal Associates

I've been seeing Dr. de la Torre for years. He takes great care to be thorough & thoughtful with suggestions, resources, diagnoses & meds. And he has an excellent bedside manner!

Dr. Christina Brown is professional, attentive, and a great doctor. I always have a wonderful experience when visiting her office.

Dr. Binder is an excellent gastroenterologist. She listens to her patient's concerns and recommends treatment without always jumping to the more extremes, like surgery or endoscopy. She is very empathetic.

This was my first visit with Dr Goosenberg. He read answers to the medical history questionnaire I filled out, and he asked me questions. I am totally satisfied with the diagnosis and treatment he proposed to me for my gastrointestinal problem. In addition, he discovered that my heart has an irregular beat, and he called my primary doctor's office so that I might see a primary doctor ASAP, and have an ECG. I thank him for his "total" care.

As always Dr. Binder takes time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions and provides comforting and professional answers. It is clear that she really cares about you as a person. It is easy to communicate with her via messenger and she always answers in a very timely manner. I have full confidence in her and have recommended her to some of my friends.

I've been under the care of Dr. De la Torre now for the past five plus years due to a liver disease called NASH. Dr. De la Torre is the most passionate and caring doctor I have ever seen before. I say he's more than just a doctor but a good listening ear and certainly very easy going and he really helps alliviate all my worrys I have regarding my health issues. You might have to wait a while before seeing the doctor but the wait is certainly worth it. Thanks Dr. De la Torre.

I have been seeing Dr. Lubinski for approximately 3 years. From the beginning, he took the time to thoroughly discuss and analyze my symptoms and then worked diligently to try various treatment options to deal with my Ulcerative Colitis. I have been receiving ENTYVIO infusions for almost 2 years and am in remission. While I realize everyone is different, the results have been amazing for me. Dr. Lubinski has always answered all of my questions whether in person or via the on-line portal with clear and helpful advice or guidance. I highly recommend him for any gastrointestinal issues. In addition, the office staff, nurses, and infusion team (Michelle/Shannon) have always been friendly, helpful, and reassuring.

methodical and efficient review of past history with recommendations for future treatment requirements. written summaries of discussions were provided to patient.

Dr. Groosenberg was very knowledgeable. He listened to our concerns and explained what he was doing during the procedure. He was very careful and concerned about the patient's comfort. He was a very caring man.

As I returned home up north from Florida I found a letter in the mail saying that Dr. Harvey Guttmann was retiring this summer after 34 years in practice. I wasn't shocked by the letter since he had given me a heads-up a few months ago that he was mulling it over. As much as I am so happy for him after all his years doing what he loves, selfishly I am sad to see one of the best docs ever to no longer be there to turn to. As far as a gastro doc goes there is nobody better........by far !!! Always smiling, friendly, never rushed thru an appointment and helped me tremendously throughout some tough times. I will always be grateful to him for not only his medical skills but his effort to insure I was comfortable in the office and beyond. I will make sure I get in to see him before he retires and look for his advice on whom to see after he has happily retired. I only wish him the best of health and happiness forever spending time with his family and friends !!!

My issue is the lack of available appts. With 20 physicians in the group I have to wait two weeks after discharge from a ER/hospital stay for a gi bleed, dx ischemic bowel to get an appt with anyone (PA). I am not a new patient. Yet they all are accepting new pts but can't make time for existing ones. This is not an acceptable level of care.

Dr. Treated me well answered my questions when asked. Did not give in-depth answers did not follow up by ordering medicines he said he was going to I had to call more than one time to get action on the prescription he said he was going to order I would recommend another doctor in this practice if a friend asked.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lubinski for a number of years, and I would absolutely highly recommend him to anyone. He has helped me tremendously with my ulcerative colitis and GERD. He is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, thorough, caring, and respectful. He responds to any and all of my questions and explains everything. During visits, he gives patients full attention and never rushes. Whenever I have messaged him in the portal, he typically replies within a couple hours. I have complete trust in him. He is the consummate professional.

Dr Ikonomi was attentive to hearing about current and ongoing issues. Her demeanor was calming as she explained the treatment plan options. The treatment and ongoing recommendations are working, and my condition is better. In short...Dr Ikonomi is very understanding and listens.

I met with Dr. Brown in the summer of 2020. I'm writing a review now because, at time I met with her, I was so ill I hadn't processing what was happening in the moment. Dr. Brown was dismissive, rude, accused me of faking my symptoms, and was one of the worst doctors I have ever encounter. After an endoscopy, she loudly said "see, there isn't anything wrong with you, are you happy now," come to find out years later that I have a chronic illness that impacts my GI system, that in her report she did not share her findings honestly (healed ulcers, markers of delayed emptying, etc). Im writing this review for other people like me, and because when I expressed concern/desire for a second opinion about her (and another doctor at the same practice), they were both told and accused me of being the problem.

Absolutely wouldrecommend Dr. Brown. Very thorough, takes time to explain everything. Very caring, makes sure you understand what is going on. Goes out of her way to make sure you are seen quickly especially after you have been hospitalized.

Dr. Binder is extremely empathic and kind. She is very thorough and she took the time to talk to me and understand why I was there. She made a few suggestions about lifestyle changes (diet) that were extremely helpful and had positive results. Over the course of a few months, she ordered necessary tests and then patiently explained the results. She is knowledgeable and explained the details of my particular medical issue so that I understand it. After working with Dr. Binder, I feel confident that I can manage it going forward with her help.

My vital and history info was not entered correctly in the system. Prescription was sent late and incorrect. Dr highly recommended a procedure then file it to insurance company as diagnostic instead of preventative. When i followed up, he said it is bc of my age.

Dr Lubinski asked lots of questions and was attentive to my answers. The office staff was friendly and efficient. overall great experience.
