Every staff member is kind and works well as a team. Thank you for the wonderful care.
Staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable. I was taken in early for my procedure and didn’t have to wait. They took the time to explain the results clearly. The nurses and Dr. Decker were very friendly and efficient
I love Dr Newton. He's an awesome doctor. You can tell he cares about his patience. I'm comfortable with him. He makes sure you understand what is going on. I would recommend him to anyone. He's great!!
The Staniford Street staff are always kind and courteous, and are invested in not just the specialty care they provide, but in patient wellbeing as a whole. As someone who has lived with chronic illness their whole life, I count myself lucky to be a patient at their practice. Thank you everyone at University GI!
Have never met a more professional doctor PA NP in my life! Kind, considerate, compassionate they are definitely doing what they were meant to do in life! I would never see another G.I. again.
Very good once I got to see him. Took over a year of telephone tag with his office to schedule a colonoscopy. Have been trying to schedule an endoscopy for 3 months and they just won't answer phones. Next time i am in Providence, I am going to his office in person. HIs office office rates zero stars.
Great Doctor. Highly efficient, compassionate, friendly and caring.
Very wonderful staff would definitely recommend a friend
Terrible service they don't call you back I've been with them for years trying to get medication is impossible.
Dr. Chen is an extremely professional and compassionate GI doctor. He is very thorough and listens to his patients questions and concerns. He explains procedures in a reassuring way that allows his patients to feel less anxious. I highly recommend Dr. Chen! He's an expert in the gastrointestinal medical field.
Had to have a kind of rare procedure…went beautifully. Great care. So glad I didn’t have to go to Boston… they have the experts right here!
I have been a patient of Dr Margolis for years. He and his staff are always respectful, knowledgeable and punctual. I have had many office visits, endoscopy procedures and tele visits. 5 stars all around
Very positive first experience. Courteous and efficient staff. Kathy Rassler NP was great! Very professional, thorough and comforting. High recommendations!
Dr Chen is a brilliant, competent surgeon. He is blunt but in only in that you follow direction for procedure. He did an ERCP on me 2 years ago and cleared away the thickening and "sludge" He took a biopsy and stented me. I had zero problems with his ability to do this procedure well.
The blockage/thickening has returned as Dr Nicastri checked it during my surgery to remove my gallbladder one month ago however labeled it a "stricture" in my body.

Diane is a true professional! She made the scheduling process look easy and with the complications with insurance companies and referrals I don’t know how she did it. I want to thank her for her efficiency!
💫5 stars doesn't begin to describe this medical facility...I came here to the wrong Gastro Provider by accident and sheer luck. Dr. Ferreira, NP, S. Ferraz and their entire team has managed to turn it into a greater definition of happy accident than Webster could ever word.
To call them patient centered would be a step away from the Family they consistently make me feel like ❤️
