South Shore Gastroenterology

Excellent, compassionate physicians. My brother, husband and I have been patients of this practice. My brother had an impaction of meat in his esophagus. We rushed him to the E.R. Dr. Kadish immediately responded to the E.R. from his home. My brother was brought into the operating room. They were able to remove the impaction with a combination of medication to relax the esophagus and with an endoscope. My brother did not need to be surgically treated. It was a lifesaver.
My husband’s mother had colon cancer when she was in her early 20’s. In her 40’s, she had another bought of colon cancer, as well is in her 60’s. She did live until she was 80 years old, but with recurrence of colon cancer, it places all of her children at high risk. So my husband goes for screening colonoscopies every 5 years. The procedure is painless, as he is placed under conscious sedation. The procedure can be videotaped for future viewing if it has to be. The doctor (Fenster) and nurses are all very caring and take their time to answer all questions.
Due to irritable bowel disease, I also go in for periodic check-​ups and colonoscopies. The premises are very clean, the equipment is state-​of-​the-​art and the personnel are very professional and compassionate.
The front desk personnel are also very professional.
I do not hesitate recommending this practice to all that need any type of gastroenterological care. Hemorrhoids, reflux, stomach pain, gas, rectal bleeding, etc. I feel like I am in very safe hands at this establishment.

Nechama answered the phone never heard of why I was calling — private, but not exotic — and saud they only did endoscopies and colonoscopies.. I needed an exam, not a proceedure. If they hire someone so ignorant, I wonder about the rest of their decisions. I didn’t make an appointment.
