Tempera Patrick MD

My story begins in May 2012, i had Dr Tempera do a colonoscopy, and at the end of the procedure he gave me thumbs up, all looks ok inside. well, that was the furthest from the actual truth. after seeing my primary care doctor in December 2012, she had recommended a CT scan to look for reasons of my discomfort. That same night the imagining facility had called me and suggested i go to the ER immediately. The radiologist told me i have a severe case of diverticulitis. After calling Temperas office, it was explained to me that i would have been told i had the disease had i come in for follow up appt, what? the doc at bedside said all was good. anyway, I have since required surgery, a colon resect, done by a reputable surgeon in red bank nj. I also now use a gastro group in red bank also. I am healthy again thanks to efforts of my NEW gastro team ! DO NOT TRUST YOUR HEALTH TO TEMPERA OR HIS TEAM OF INCONSIDERATE S IN HIS OFFICE, go elsewhere, you will be better off in long run.

Let me preface this by saying I have worked closely with Dr. Tempera in the past; and he is still my physician years after. He is an excellent practioner. He is professional, caring and patient. Dr. T. keeps current with the latest studies and trends in medicine.
He is an excellent endoscopist, Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. Members of my family and myself use him.
I am a R.N. currently working in GI for over 15 years.
