Great experience at Shore Surgical Pavilion! The nurses were so friendly and calming - Dr Tacopina was incredibly positive. The anesthesiologist was funny and totally relaxed me even before we started ! I highly recommend this group and facility!

The staff were friendly and helped guide me through the insurance concerns, prep questions and finally the awakening after sedation for the procedure. This is a great place to have an awkward procedure taken care of. Best ratings!!!

Incidence of CRC Increasing in Younger Patients
A recent study conducted by AMSURG and researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai shows an increase in early-onset colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps in patients younger than 50.
This review is for Theodore Hall. The procedure went well after finally getting an appointment. I called 5 different times, left messages, spoke to staff and never received a return phone call. Finally, the 6th time I got through to someone willing to make an appointment. Most of the time no one answers the phone. It's absolutely ludicrous that a doctor's office doesn't return phone calls, let alone even answer the phone. If my husband hadn't seen this particular doctor in the hospital I would have never continued reaching out. Also, the receptionist at the surgical office has an attitude. I don't understand why it's so difficult to just say "hi" and be pleasant to people. It won't kill you!!
