Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Once Sirlin gets you to agree to an exploratory op procedure, you are on your own. Sirlin is more concerned with taking notes, the sole purpose of which is to protect himself from malpractice. Abundant in details but inaccurate in critical facts, and lacking basic grammar or punctuation, his transcripts read like "hedge my bets" narrative of "he said/she said”. Limited to Crohn's and IBS. Surgery and endoscopy is "the fix" for anything else. Avoid at all cost.

Dr. Sirlin is an exceptional doctor and human being. He took the time to truly understand my daughter's needs when other GI's wouldn't even try. My wife and I are happier than we have been for awhile knowing our child is in good hands. I couldn't provide a higher recommendation for Dr. Sirlin.

Our man issue is with scheduling and the front office. Every time I would call to schedule my sons checkup the receptionist (same lady every time) would get very annoyed at our availability. My son is Autistic and has MANY appointments throughout the week. She is just so rude and always made me feel as if I was disturbing her at trying to find a time that works. Also I have felt that the Doctor has just shoved an over the counter drug at my child instead of finding the source of the issues.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Sirlin to friends or family. He is thorough and wants to get it right. Our pediatrician repeatedly misdiagnosed my daughter until we saw Dr. Sirlin who took the time to listen to her symptoms and respond with the appropriate medically necessary tests. I trust him to take care of her as an individual and that is hard to find these days.

Have brought both my boys to him -- one nine years ago (a toddler) and the other this year (a teenager) because I remember how great he was. He is still great! After other doctors and specialists had trouble diagnosing their GI problems accurately, it is refreshing to have a doctor who is a great diagnostician and solves the problem. He gives you plenty of time and makes you and your kids feel very comfortable. It's sometimes hard finding good doctors, but Dr. Sirlin is one of the best.

Horribly managed practice.We were given an appt for 10 AM.The Receptionist confirmed but later left a VM on my wife's phone ito confirm again.Having a colic baby, she did not check it.When we reached we were told we did not confirm & hence asked to wait. We patiently waited for 40 mins till our turn came. Then we were ushered to the exam room & asked to undress the baby & wait(30mins) for the doc only for the doc to show up & say we got to come back at 1! On r way out the receptionist misbehaved

My infant was struggling with extreme reflux and was losing weight quickly. Other doctors were not offering appointments for over a month, but Dr. Sirlin saw us right away and immediately started her on a course of treatment that has been working amazingly well. She had a few setbacks at the start while the medications were kicking in, and he was always available, even once late at night when we had to go to the hospital. I am so happy we found him. My daughter is now thriving.
