I have been a patient of Dr. Kaufman for over a year and I find he is the most knowledgeable physician in gastroenterology and I have been through 5 (because the first one retired). He is down to earth, does't 'jump the gun' and come up with radical solutions that are not necessarily warranted and open to thinking about alternatives. I am so glad I found him.

Recently had my first visit with Dr. Kaufman and found him to be extremely thorough with his intake interview and very personable. He encourages questions and respects the individual needs of each patient. I left the visit feeling highly confident that I had made the right choice in seeing him.

I found Dr. Kaufman to be a compassionate , caring person with astute diagnostic abilities. He prides himself with the desire to stay in touch with his patients during treatment and their concerns, by Email or portal ,daily if needed. If 5 stars represent the best qualities of a physician, I would award 6.

Bedside manner was extremely improper, and definitely NOT trauma informed. Assumed I would be fine with an immediate invasive exam with NO prior info about what it would entail, and without even asking (just "now a nurse will do XYZ").
Recommended a course of treatment that doesn't have scientific backing to show that it works (FODMAP) and managed to make my visit about my (mid-journey) weight and not digestion. Not competent for eating disorder patients.
