Philip M. Ginsburg's Online Review Report Card

Horrible bedside manner, rushes and is rude. Office staff is poor with logistics - appointments, will "yes" you, then not deliver on commitments, etc. Once (recently), their generator stopped working and they asked for flexibility, to relocate to an facility 30 minutes away. But they offer no flexibility. don't be 11 minutes late for an appt due to traffic, because you'll have to reschedule. You will never talk to the doc on the phone, only the assistant. looks good technically, but horrible on the other matters. Also, rude office manager - Susan.

I had an awful experience with Dr. Ginsburg over a decade ago. He was my 2nd opinion. I had Crohn's Disease and I am completely shocked that he practices medicine much less teaches at Yale and QU schools of medicine. He is very arrogant and does NOT have a patient centered approach. Dr. Ginsburg is the director of IBD research and IBD center of CT. He is probably good at conducting research and collecting data. But as a doctor, he treats patients strictly by the results of his research instead of realizing that each patient is unique and requires individual care. What works for one patient might not work for another. He shot down all my valid suggestions. I left the practice and found another doctor who has been absolutely amazing, compassionate, and thinks outside the box. She listens to my ideas and we work together. Avoid Dr. Ginsburg. On paper he looks like a really good doctor but he is far from that!

I can’t answer I can’t get appointment

Very condescending and arrogant. Cares nothing about patients well being. Was dismissed by mail, for being late to an appt, in the midst of a severe disease flare without a referral. Ended up in surgery weeks later after my condition worsened.

I have been dx and dealing with a gi dx since 2014. I have been seeing dr Ginsburg since referred from another md who did not know what to do for me. Dr Ginsburg is bright and on top of his career . I have a difficult situation and he has been very supportive and works with his patients for best outcomes. People might regard him as blunt at times however I rather have blunt answers than evasive responses ! Thank you Dr Ginsburg !

Horrible doctor I ever had, got suggested to him because of my ulcerative colitis from a previous doctor that had more knowledge than him. Did absolutely nothing to help me made me even sicker than I originally was. I got surgery and stopped seeing him and I been PERFECT ever since. If you have ulcerative coltis don't see this guy, either you get surgery or see someone else because Ginsburg does not have any people skills and doesn't know anything about saving a patients life. I dont know how this guy even made it to the medical field. All this guy cares about is how big he can scam patients to keep his wallet big. Puts money over health and that's a fact.

Worse doctor ever!!! stay away from this doctor!!!! Regretting already letting this doctor do my cousin's colonoscopy and after he sprayed a blue dye inside inside of him, He have had nothing but pain and his condition is getting worse and worse. This doctor supposedly sprayed my cousin with that blue dye looking for cancer without even doing blood work on him first to make sure his blood work was off and suggested that type of test but he didn't. This doctor is very arrogant also doesn't follow up.

Go elsewhere, very rude and condescending. Bases all his directions on films and tests ONLY - NOT patient centered. Appointments are rushed. Hard to get a hold of - you will always go through his assistant. When my rheumatologist suggested an addition diagnostic to rule out issues 3 MONTHS ago his message was "well if HE wants that test HE can order it". Very pompous, doesn't like questions regarding the possibility of additional diagnostics. Actually LAUGHED at me when I winced before he palpated my ABDOMEN (which btw I REQUESTED he do as he had NOT actually examined me in 3 months)......Waited and was told to just take 4 prilosec a day...no other supports or directions...just horrible experience...endured other complications which I am now unwinding. Was verbally given biopsy results as "no pathology" which was true, but did not share the notations on chronic "itis's"...which have now caused other issues. Decided my issue was musculoskeletal and basically dismissed me. RUN AWAY
