David Kaufman, DO's Online Review Report Card

The dr himself was fine, but his staff were some of the rudest, short tempered, and unknowledgeable medical staff I have ever been a part of. And now because of Covid, the staff are the only people you talk to except on procedure day. Everything before and after the procedure is torture dealing with his staff.

Amazing Dr. very knowledgeable and caring. Makes you feel comfortable and explains everything. I have also refered my friend who had issues for a few years and saw multiple doctors and nutritionists with no results. Dr. Kaufman found and resolved the issues and changed her life. We highly recommend Dr. Kaufman. If you need a GI, you have found the best.

Very Through, Knowledgeable, Careing Doctor. I Felt Very Comfortable And Confident. I Recommend This Doctor

Great experience, Made me feel very comfortable during my procedure. A+ professional.

Dr Kaufman is simply the best and my go to for any questions I need answered for my stomach issues! He is honest, caring, and funny! I have been his patient for about six years and I hope he never retires because there is no one like him that I can trust! Every time I see him afterwards I feel calm after he seriously calms all my anxiety!

Exceptional physician, very thorough and compassionate with an impressive pedigree.

Amazing doctor. Very intelligent and knowledgeable as well as kind and considerate. Exceedingly recommend if you are looking for a GI specialist.

I had my colonoscopy with Dr. Kaufman today, and I highly recommend him. We had a facetime consult a week ago, and he patiently answered all of my concerns and questions. The prep for the procedure is the easiest prep I have ever had, and I have had quite a few. He has made the prep easy and today was a breeze. He was right on time, and the staff at the Hoag Endoscopy Center couldn't have been nicer. I had questions in the afternoon, and phoned his office and received a call back within an hour. Dr. Kaufman puts you at ease, answers all questions patiently, and his staff is responsive and kind. I highly recommend him if you need an excellent gastroenterologist.

I have been under Dr Kaufmans care for 2 yrs. He is professional, caring and knowledgeable. He listens and make time to explain what can be done to treat my medical problems. I trust him and I will continue to see him

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kaufman.  From my initial office visit to completion of my procedures (endoscopy and colonoscopy) his gentle and caring manner put me at ease and made the entire experience simple and painless.  Shortly after I awoke, Dr. Kaufman visited me to make sure all was well and to report his findings.  If you&#39;re looking for a caring, competent gastro doctor, look no further.<br><br>JoAnn D.

The Best Gastro. Dr in Newport Beach!!

Dr. Kaufman is at the topofhisgame.  Thorough, personable and has a passionate work ethic.  None better.

Very happy with Dr. Kaufman. Very thorough and great bedside manner

Here&#39;s an update for this doctor who in my opinion should retire. His clear lack of empathy, rude chair side manner and arrogant disposition is enough reason. We went back after a couple of years thinking maybe the last experience was a fluke. It turns out that it wasn&#39;t. With the exception of one staff members, the rest are abrupt, impatient and clearly annoyed if you ask them anything other than how to pay. There are plenty of qualified doctors who actually care about their patients. We will not be going back to this guy.

Rude, dismissive and terrible follow up. This doctor no longer cares. It is evident in the way him and his staff treat patients. Not returning phone calls, being easily annoyed and telling you to go to ER if you call and he is not around (which is apparently a lot)

Had been seeing this Dr. for years, but no more. Do not recommend. Dr. is OK, but when then time came to see him about an urgent issue, they pushed me 34 weeks out AND said that they don&#39;t take my PPO insurance any more. Last time I went, he also sent me to what seemed to be a pretty sketchy (IMO) person selling medical supplies.

Dr. Kaufman is the consummate gastroenterologist who has a very pleasant bedside manner, his dry sense of humor brings laughter, he communicates a real authentic concern for your good health, and appears knowledgeable and competent as a practitioner.The last gastroenterologist was terrible.   He was hurried, seemed annoyed when asking him questions, and I felt he lacked both empathy and kindness.Dr. Kaufman came at a timely manner to resurrect my spirit and faith after leaving the abovementioned gastroenterologist in a bad mental state.   I feel a real sense of gratitude to this exceptional doctor who validated me and sent me in a direction of hope with my digestive issues.  God Bless Dr. Kaufman,Don Gorelick, a devoted patient

Dr. Kaufman is an excellent doctor who demonstrates patience, calmness, humor, and competency during all my visits. My previous Gastroenterologist was a disaster lacking essential skills of a good doctor. Dr. Kaufman became the critical doctor I needed and desired after my bad experience with the Saddleback doctor. I would put everything on the line with Dr. Kaufman. My wife and I appreciate him for his good work and compassion.
