Rockland County’s leader in

Digestive Disease Medicine

Personal attention, superb training and experience, the latest in technological equipment, and an atmosphere of comfort and compassion make the difference in your care.

Why Rockland GI?

We run our practice as Specialist Consultants. This means that we meet with our patients prior to a procedure to best assess their treatment needs and to determine the ideal course of care. We educate patients as to why and how their care will be provided. You will receive a callback with results of tests by a physician so that questions or concerns can be addressed immediately.

Our office has the most advanced endoscopic equipment in Rockland County, allowing all procedures to be done in High Definition. This allows for the most ideal imaging of endoscopic findings, highest detection rates of polyps, and the best outcomes for patients.
