It was my first visit to Dr. Stein. It was a referral appointment and he had not accessed my test records. So my appointment could have had a better outcome (and a higher satisfaction score). I believe there could have been better preparation by Dr. Stein and his staff if my records could have been retrieved and reviewed prior to my appointment. If his staff had informed me that my records needed to be requested more than a month ago (this appointment was a rescheduled appointment), I would have provided my authorization. I expected NW to be better than this.

My physician explained information well before and after, and listened to me complain about the GI prep that is so barbaric to the body in preparation for the colonoscopy. His expertise caused me no pain or symptoms since the procedure ended almost 24 hours ago at this point. He agreed to verify his findings from 3 years ago about the straight or curvy nature of my colon in order to assist with my goals of better evacuation of my colon each day.

Dr. Stein is absolutely fantastic! He’s the only doctor I’ve seen that not only understands my condition, but takes time listen and implement a individualized treatment plan specific to my needs. I never feel rushed during his appointments & he always makes sure my questions are answered before I leave. He has also been extremely helpful and efficient with any documentation I need for work. Bedside manner is important and he truly understands that. I just wish I found him years ago…
